My, my. Did my eyes open wide. Looks Great. I think I'm drooling.

yeah ! some cool new stuff!

That's pretty cool that they chose to make the AOTC club patrons based on Anthony Daniels and Ahmad Bests characters!  Nice little set up with the drinks, tables, etc.  I'm sure George Lucas' daughter's figure is not far behind for this scene!  You know she's asking for one!

The Waitress Droid looks nice too.  Now if they'd just give us a Dex's Diner playset, that would be way cool!

Hard to get a good look at the Emperor there, but it looks like he's in the "shoot lightning at Luke" pose.  We'll see how he turns out.

Anyone notice the new Saga card style, which will apparently be depicting the movie that the figure's based on as a long silver stripe down the left hand side of the card?  Don't know if I care for that style too much, but we'll see...

I'm still drooling over the new Screen Scenes though...

Rebelscum's coverage of the Hasbro preview is now in full effect as well.  They've got some great photos of the new stuff.

They've also confirmed that Hasbro announced at the show that there will be TWO new Imperial Dignitaries coming!!!  Awesome!

I am SO on sensory overload that I don't know what to do with myself!

Other new figures being shown are:

• Clone Wars Obi-Wan - similar to Anakin
• The Jedi 3-pack - with a Rodian, "Bib Fortuna-like" alien, and a human Jedi
• 2 different Jedi Starfighters - Anakin's (all-new design) and a standard one (just a repaint)
• Several new CW figures

It's going to be a very busy year...

Wow, I think this stuff looks very nice. Many many purchases to be made later this year. Love the new packaging too for both the Saga and CW lines. The only things that made me go "huh?" were Anakins Jedi Starfighter which I may just have to get used to that funky design and the Arc Trooper I think it's called. What is up with that kilt or skirt it's wearing? The figure itself looks pretty cool but now sure about the skirt thing. Looks very out of place on it. Everything else looked great though.

All I gotta say is, <hick>Whooo Boy!</hick>! Man, I love seeing stuff like this, now all Hasbro's gotta do is get them to us.

[SilverZ]

Holy cowpies, I go off to Canada for a day and a half, and Hasbro unloads the mother of all figure updates! I don't really know where to start, I'm just swimming in news!

Love, love, love the new Saga images, and the Ahmed Best and Tony Daniels head likenesses are perfect. Bring on the obscure stuff!

[Boba Binks]

Some really cool things are on the way. I am amazed with the quality of the sculpts.
This is going to end up being a great year for Star Wars toys.

I have to say I'm most interested in the new CLone figures, plus Wat Tambor, the geonosian war room and jedi council sets (bet they'll be hard to find!). I also hope to get the 3 new jedis too! Hope I get a new job in a few months so I can keep buying stuff!
