Hmm, not nearly so complete a list, but I desperately want an Old Ben Kenobi bust, hood up, with lightsaber and looking out of the corner of his eye at Luke. 

Chewie I want in shackles to put between Han and Luke Stormies (where is Han, btw?).  A bowcaster would be fine too. 

Emperor Palpatine in his chair, eyes glowing with a kick ass smile on his face. 

Leia, but I'd prefer stripper slave Leia, so we can help fulfill Matt's fantasies.  The bust up version would be fine (no Matt, not that bust)

Yoda OT version, with cane under chin, looky old, wrinkly and nearly dead. 

Vader, new with lightsaber, won't disenchant those that own the first, but will satisfy those that don't. 

Indy bust, chase Jawa with different weapon - sorry, wrong thread.

Hoth Luke with that beat to crap face.

The only two I really want are the Tie Pilot and the Royal Guard.  I agree though that a Chewie would be nice.

Those would be ideal to add some colour to my world of white and chrome only busts ;)

I really wish I could afford to collect this line in its entirety, the product looks so great.  I would break down and buy a Chewie though, I hope they come out with one sometime soon.  I like the idea of holding the bowcaster...that would be cool.  I've noticed that too, lots of main characters missing so far, but maybe they're just giving themselves some room for the coming months/years.  I'd like to see a Han (various version), other Lukes, a Lando, various Leias, etc.  Lots of potential yet with the character selection.

Dave's list would be nice there, but in more realistic terms here...   ;)

Darth Maul (no-brainer)

Chewie

R2

Royal Guard

OT Yoda

Skiff Lando (w/ RH)

Emperor

Tusken Raider

Jawa

That's probably enough for now...  Just don't make too many, too fast, 'cause these are kinda expensive and I have lots of other crap to buy too!   :P

No new Vader please.  No rehashes like that.

I just got my stormtrooper mini-bust yesterday (thanks Jim!!!), and I have a question.  On the helmet, there are those two black post-thingies (not sure how else to describe them).  On my bust, one of the posts has the tip painted silver, but the other one is all black.  Looking at the box, it looks like they're both painted silver.  Has anyone else noticed this on theirs, or is mine just missing the silver paint on the second post?
I don't really care, but it seemed kind of odd.

Just an update, I checked the feedback on that Gold/Silver Stormtrooper and the buyer got positive feedback from the seller.

Grrrr, nothing yet.  Expect this some time between 4 and 9 pm, board time.  I should be completely offline at that point.  Murphy and his Law.  Hmmph.

Good question.  Gotta say thanks to Dave though for posting that link.  I didn't get the email, I wonder how many others didn't either? :-\
