Almost looks like the visors on the DS Trooper and Honor Guard are working.

The DS Trooper is looking much better IMO.

Why does Hasbro continue to give Luke the wrong saber hilt!

Please, Please, PLEASE Hasbro watch the movies once in a while.  >:(

Man, say what you will about Hasbro, but they've put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into next years line.  From the character specific blister card artwork , to the individually tooled coins, the line is looking to be one of the best ever.

Good stuff.

I agree. The artwork is sweet!! makes one want to weep.

Yeah, I agree.  They have seem to put some more effort into the 30th year line.  I am glad they will have character specific coins now that match the figure itself.  Hopefully they will make a grey version of the DS trooper.  That would be a nice nod to the vintage figure IMO.  I actually like the artwork of the characters.  That's a nice touch.  I don't really care for the odd cutouts on the card itself.  At least they are showing some creativity.

I checked the Target DPCI over lunch and it still shows up in the system at $6.99 (at least in MN).

Of course, keep in mind that Target has been known to start new series out high...

2004 - OTC started at $5.99, but dropped to $5.44 within a month
2005 - ROTS started at $5.99, but dropped down to $4.99 within a few weeks
2006 - TSC started at $6.99, but dropped down to $5.89 within a month or so (and then went back up to $6.64 a few months later  ::))

Target will always come down after a bit to match Wal-Mart (once they are sure the Wal-Mart price is not a promo/gimmick), but they almost never start out as the lowest.  Hopefully Wal-Mart will start off closer to $6 so Target is forced to price drop sooner rather than later.

I know, which is why I mentioned that :(

Sadly, I feel the figs next year will be between 7-8$  :(. I really REALLY want to be wrong though ;)

I too, know what the DCPI's have read. However it doesn't mean that prices won't change and be ridiculous when the figures actually hit.--I hate saying the reality of it :-X

ive used ROTS #14 Palpys for customs before, and the legs on luke in that close up pic look a lot like repainted legs of #14 Palpy. im cool with that, just no foot/boot articulation. not like he needs it.

i just noticed. thought id bring it up.

I get that creepy feeling as well. Especially since two Targets near me are already at $7.64.

That's more than a feeling.  That's irrefutable evidence.

$7.64?  Good lord that's getting out of hand.  A couple Targets in my area are $5.86, but most places are in the $6.63-$6.99 range.

Not necessarily. One of those Targets is brand new, and higher prices are always the case in new targets, and none of the 7 other Targets in my area have risen their prices.
