I assume these have hit the market in Hong Kong? If so, I may be in luck.

What's the story on Wave II and III, how come we haven't seen good pics of those? Holding out for comic con I guess.

I just got them a few days ago but no Luke >:( The shop says will back order the "real" Wave 1 which including 3x Luke and will reserve one for me :)
I love them very much :o :o :o One of reasons is their vintage feel.I cannot afford the real vintage,so I will buy them all 12 figures.Another reason is each figure comes with a nice design starcase.You don't worry you will get the non-mint figures.They must be in mint condition ;)I'm sorry to hear that only 12 figures will be released, at least at this moment :-[
In wave 2,there is much worst.There are 2  different assortment.

Wave 2
2x Darth Vader
2x Yoda
2x Lando
1x Han
1x Luke

Wave 2.5
1x Luke Skywalker
1x Han Solo
1x Obi-Wan
1x Princess Leia
1x Darth Vader
1x Yoda
2x C-3PO

You can notice Wave 2 is no C-3PO and Wave 2.5 is no Lando >:( The case breakdown is from Hong Kong.Hope not the same in US.Not sure my local shops which wave have been ordered :-[

Any word on a VOTC Emperor Palpatine?  From the reports it seems like the SWS.com exclusive figure will be "The Man" himself,more than likely a holo Saga Emperor.  It would be Awesome and fitting that one of the most important characters from the Saga and often overlooked characters be made over in "Ultimate" form and maybe as some kind of exclusive.  

As of now Hasbro hasn't done a stellar job of recreating the Emperor in plastic form.(Hint,Saga Emperor)  I can imagine him now:  

-Soft goods robe similar to VOTC Obi-Wan's but a bit looser,with long flowing cuffs and walking stick.

-Super Articulation w/articulated knees so you can sit him down on his lazy
 boy.

-Removable arms/hands ala Dagobah Luke with Force Lighting attached to the other set of arms/hands similiar to Unleashed Darth Tyranus.

-And of course an accurate face sculpt/color with that  "Oh so sweet" smirk.  The one he gave Luke right before he gave him the Old Sparky treatment.

Can you tell I really want a VOTC Emperor? After all he did play a masterful game of "Who wants to take over the Galaxy",and I think that deserves a decent figure. :)

I'd like to see one exclusive for the VOTC, something that was originally a mail away exclusive to the vintage line. Was the Emperor a mail away? Maybe POTF Anakin?

Palpy was indeed mailaway at first, as that's how I got mine as a kid...  I'd like him to be the figure only because a poseable palps would be great.  

Spirit Ani...  Eh, I don't mind a more statue-like figure of him.  :)

I saw Han Solo, Leia and Obi-Wan Kenobi in person today.  They look really nice in person and in package.  Too bad they were priced too high for me to consider.
