Nope, and I'm glad I put an end to this madness.  I can't afford to keep buying the same figures over and over and over. . .

Thanks for sharing the info and pics of all those sets Jeff, I hadn't seen any of those before.  Wow, that is a lot to pick up in likely the last four to five months of the year.  Like I said, we just stick to the OT sets, but even then that doesn't cut out too many of these.  I'm likely in for all of them, although I'm on the fence with picking up another Falcon.  I have the original one that I wanted to keep for myself, plus we bought one on clearance for our daughter (who loves these), so I don't know if we need a third one in the house or not.  The Gen. Lando makes it more tempting, but we'll see.  It looks like they'll really be pushing the "diorama like" packaging with these as well.  Like many of you said, it almost makes sense to just pass on the two packs and stick to the cinema scenes.  We'll be getting a figure like Nien Nunb in the scene a few months after the 2 pack.

Man, there are going to be a lot of new Cinema Scene sets for Christmas time -

- TRU Kamino Showdown (no ship, just figures)
- TRU Purchase of the Droids (no ship, just figures)
- Anakin's CW Jedi Starfighter
- Obi-Wan's Ep3 Jedi Starfighter
- Endor Assault (with Ewok Glider and figures)
- Slave I with Carbonite Han
- Jabba's Sali Barge (no ship, just figures)
- Yavin IV Medal Ceremony (no ship, just figures)
- RotJ Millennium Falcon

That's like $240+ in GH Cinema Scenes alone, not even counting all the 2-packs that I'm sure are coming as well.  

Oh yeah, if this is still coming, don't forget to add it into your budget
- Endor Celebration (Village Leia, Spirits, repacks)

As part of the latest round of Q&A at Han's Hideout, Hasbro passed along some new pics of the upcoming TRU exclusive sets - Kamino Showdown and Purchase of the Droids

Both sets are supposed to hit stores in August if the schedule holds...

Thanks for passing those along Jeff.  Both sets look pretty nice.  I've been passing on the PT/CW sets just to save money/space, but I'll likely be grabbing that Purchase of the Droids set.  It has been said before on these forums, but I never thought we'd get this deep into characters in the Galactic Heroes line - but it is kind of cool.  It is just getting to the point where we have so many of these in the house, it is tough to keep up with all of them anymore.

Word.  Gonk has always been one of my fav droids for some reason.  Hopefully we'll get a four-footed version soon ala the CW toon.

Adam at GH has found and posted images of the Yavin Ceremony and Sail Barge Sets. Damn they're cute.

Gotta get Rebo and Droopy.  8)  I guess this leaves Sy Snootles to show up later...

The fold out "playset" looks pretty cool:

Wow, TRU exclusives?  And they beat the Kamino/Droids sets to retail?  Stange that we saw the Kamino/Droids sets at Toy Fair and then these two sets, which haven't even been officially announced, snuck out ahead of the others.   

After seeing the updated pics, I think I'm down for both sets.  Having a second Jabba around will help prevent a few fights at our house.    :P

Tsk tsk, not sharing with you kids Jeff..

Cool looking sets, I never got the previous Jabba, and you gotta love Max Rebo, so I may have to pick this one up.
