Mid-Atlantic? Wikipedia says that applies to upper class types,  film actors from decades ago and theater actors. It's very noticable to Americans when someone talks like, say Cary Grant.

Uh...

You do know that Cary Grant was English, right?

One of Wikipedia's examples. George Plimpton would be an American born one.

It's the guy Luke or Han or Chewbacca murdered!

I like the "I will army build these". All of the troopers offered so far have been available in the past, most of them frequently. Many of the Legends troopers you can get better versions of  on ebay for often decent prices. So why suddenly, do $6 five-POA troopers seem so appealing? Is it because army builder collectors finally admit all they like to do is line up row after row of the same looking figures? That was impressive 10 years ago, now it seems like OCD.

You've won this round.  ;)

Next Saga Legends wave isn't until February 2014. I figured being kid-aimed, like the old Legends series, they'd be slooow to refresh the assortments.

I will say the Stormtrooper almost looks appealing. But, heck, I still find the POTF stormtrooper enjoyable on some level, and I thought it was kinda lame back in 1995.

Oh yeah but that was cuz of the line in him...  he had some lame action feature.

The pop out leg jets, actually. He did have the line, but that wouldn't affect the legs.

Doesn't matter, until they reduce production costs (relocating production facilities), things will get higher. Saga Legends will be $7 a figure by 2015 (or sooner).

They'll show a movie still of Tzizvvt with  "Buzzing in Fall 2014" in bold letters.

POTF R2's middle leg retracted, not removable, a few more were like that, too.

The terrible droid factory rescue R2-D2 didn't have  a third leg or even movable legs. I think its feet were movable, though.

It's so awesome that a different CW Obi-Wan will also be available single carded. I mean, I can go to  a overseas ebay seller and buy $10 CW Obi-Wans for under $20. Clearly, the character has never been readily available enough.  :P

SDCC tag says retail price $19.99.

Sure, give or take $10.  ???

$60 doesn't really sound THAT bad to me... haven't most X-Wings cost around $50 since they debuted the bigger sculpt? Granted we used to get more than just the ship though.

Saga 2002 Luke's X-Wing: $40, included R2-D2 and survival gear

Saga  2006 Luke Skywalker's Dagobah X-Wing Fighter: $45, included Luke, Dragonsnake and swamp moss

Legacy Collection 2009 Wedge Antilles' X-Wing Starfighter: $50, included Wedge Antilles, astromech droid and 2 ladders

Battle over the Death Star Trench was like $100, 3 figures ($30 more or less), Darth's TIE ($20 more or less) and the X-Wing ($50 more or less).

This is where the grey market in Hong Kong comes in handy.

SDCC display case says $59.99

Yeah, good luck with that, Toys R Us.

SDCC case shows what looks to be two of the same old Scanning crewman, one with repainted hair. Hmmm...I'm inclined to believe the leaked photos over display case protos, notice the photos had more paint on the bottom scan box. It would be nice if the original crewman was made a blonde for this release. As long as we get the new head.

Mara looks decent. Odds of finding her went down even more. Odd to have character art showing her hat/goggles that aren't included.
