The figure itself doesn't look too bad, but I guess I'm just not overly excited for it personally since I'm not familiar with the character (or game).  Great for those who voted for this figure though.

Exactly my position as well.

I would have to agree with you guys. I'm not an EU hater... I just don't go too far outside of the movies. I'll be passing on him, but it means an extra one sitting on the pegs for you guys.

These are the ones that interest me:

Darth Vader
Darth Maul
Clone TRooper (AOTC SA White)
Boba Fett (VOTC)
Saesee Tiin (ROTS)
Destroyer Droid (depending if it's TPM or not)

Fan Choice
Pit Droids
Imperial Officers
Clone Officers (EE Set Versions)
Scout Trooper (VOTC)
RA-7

The one thing that keeps coming back to me is Sirius Black.  Somehow I don't think he died in the Department of Mysteries.  I think he's going to be back in book 7.

You know, that's one thing that always got me, too. Good ol' Beatrix zaps him (we don't know which spell it was) and he falls through that curtain where all those voices try to lure people, like Harry, and disappears. There really wasn't an explanation about what it was and what happens... we just assume it's bad and that Sirius is dead. I suppose it was a really nasty black magic item that the Dept. wanted kept from the world.

Thanks Matt and Jaye. The whole transfer of Voldemorts power to Harry when he killed his parents could make sense. Perhaps we don't know the whole story... that V was weakened after his killing Lily, that Harry was the only thing for V to make a Horcrux. No one would think it, right?

And Lady Jaye, you mentioned that Harry might die because he is the final Horcrux could be right on. JK Rowling said that she wanted to make it so that no further books could be written about Harry once she is dead... kind of like how some modern-day authors carry on making sequels of novels from long-dead authors. I know it isn't really the ending I'd like to see because Harry is finally finding a family and love of his own in the Weaselys and Ginny, especially after the life he had lived. Besides, once Voldemort is gone, there could be other dark wizards in the future and Harry could teach others to be Aurors, kind of like the DA.

I also think that we don't know everything about Snape either. Rowling has always made Harry so sure Snape was bad, and Dumbledore sure in his innocence. In fact, Harry is usually so adamant that his direction is right that in the end he is far from the truth. Sure, we are made to think that Snape murdered Albus. Snape had to play the part of double agent, he had to make the promise to help Draco to his mother otherwise it would seem odd he wouldn't help Voldemort's cause. He probably told Dumbledore about this and Dumbledore told him if the time came Snape should carry out his part and kill him to maintain his part as a spy for the Order.

Anyway, I can't wait to see how it all plays out in the end. Supposedly, a lot of people die. I wonder who.

I can't wait to see these hit. I'm tired of see all the two Greatest Misses waves pegwarming. Yeah, the Naboo/Endor wave is here, but nothing to get excited about.

I've seen all the OT tins (except for the Cantina exclusive one)... none of the PTs. I haven't been grabbing them though since i there is only 1 figure per tin that I'd actually want. I can't justify $30 for 1 figure.

But I will pick up the Cantina one. I need some Bith musicians in my collection.

who's sarissa jeng? can you post a pic. just curious, never heard of her.

I've tried looking, but haven't found one yet. Found it!! Thanks to Wookiepedia.
Sarrissa Jeng

Kind of looks like Sinead O'Connor with her head shaved partially. And IIRC, the one who does the karate yell... I could be wrong...  Haven't watched clones in a while.
