My children will never know about the prequels.

No, I'd like to show them in the order they were released. IV, V, VI, I, II, III. If they see the prequels first, then the climaxes of the OT won't be as great as they should be. I want the next generation to have the same shocked reaction we did when we found out Vader was Luke's father.

I've thought about showing the Prequels in between ESB and ROTJ, but that spoils Luke and Leia finding out they're siblings.

I found the Kabe/Nabrun Leids 2 pack and the Devronian today (the only two of this set of figures, and not even on an endcap), and I swear I stood there for a good 30 minutes before I decided to pass on them. I kept thinking of the pros and cons of having them, but I decided that the only figure I REALLY want from this wave is Mace's Astromech.

My understanding is that the rule has always been that you can count whatever you want to count.

As for my monthly total:

January:
Family Guy Volume 4
TSC Imperial R5 Droid
Nirvana CD
Rise Against CD

Total: Approx. $50

YES! Clone Wars Anakin with the blue tribal tattoos! I'm also assuming that the Yoda with Kybuck is the thing Yoda rode on Coruscant in the cartoon?

Saw some today on an endcap. The only interesting set was the Utapau Clone/Death Star Gunner. I saw a few sets with both variations of the Endor Rebel but they were either packed with Palpatine or any of the various Vaders.

Luke is a moneymaker, plain and simple. Back when the ROTS line came out I remember little kids digging through pegs looking for Luke figures, and they seemed bummed when I told them that none were made. I have no problem with this amount of Lukes, especially since most, if not all, of them are fantastic.

Is anyone else a little concerned on the Hoth Stormtrooper?     The more I look at that photo the more that leg pose is bugging the **** out of me...  I can deal with the skirt...  I can even fix that I think.  That leg pose is really starting to frighten me though as possibly a killer to this figure...  It is a little irking to think that the worst figure in the group might be the army builder, and that Hasbro might STILL be giving us pre-posed Snowtroopers.  Hmmm...

I'm really REALLY hoping it's just a trick of the way the figure is angled in the photo and things.

The more I look at it, the more I see it too. I'm sure the skirt will be fixed (as soft good accessories usually are, they always look bad on prototypes), but the leg stance does look a bit spread out. And it IS scary, as well. ALL the past Vintage figures have been sculpted in a neutral stance (except for C-3PO, but I don't count him as a Vintage figure ), and it would certainly suck to see Hasbro start preposing them. And the Snowtrooper is a figure we've all wanted an SA version of for a good long while.

I suppose we'll have to wait for Toy Fair (or a Hasbro Q&A) to find out for sure.
