So is everyone passing on these (at least the re-hashes), or do the spiffy cardbacks tempt you in the slightest?
As I said earlier, when it was just 21 figures I was going to pick them up to keep carded. I find the cardbacks very cool. However, now that we are at 38 confirmed figures and another 6 rumored, that's 23 more than I orginally thought we'd see (and they're all repacks) for OTC, and that's probably too many figures for me to justify buying more figures just to leave carded.
Oh, and rounding up a few straggling rumors, the following figures are not on the list:
Confirmed (via Hasbro and SW.com):
OTC-xx Imperial Scanning Crewman (A New Hope)
Rumored to be part of OTC:
OTC-xx Gamorrean Guard (Return of the Jedi) - [from GH.com]
OTC-xx General Veers (The Empire Strikes Back) - [from GH.com]
OTC-xx 4-LOM (The Empire Strikes Back) - [from thejawa.com]
OTC-xx AT-AT Driver (The Empire Strikes Back) - [from thejawa.com]
OTC-xx Death Star Gunner (A New Hope) - [from thejawa.com]
OTC-xx Zuckuss (The Empire Strikes Back) - [from thejawa.com]
So, the "Official" Total for OTC is 38 figure (7 new, 31 re-packs) with Fan Sites reporting another 6 repacks.
07/44 = 16% new
37/44 = 84% repacks
Of those 44:
4x Luke (Probably will add Hoth Luke too before too long)
3x Vader (at least Luke has different outfits)
3x Leia (wow, that's a lot of Leia for 6-month span)
2x Han (Where's Bespin Han? Or Hoth Han?))
But why two Biker Scout? As CorranHorn pointed out, he's on the list twice (#11 and #30). Clean and Dirty? Or PotJ and PotF2? Or typo? Hmmm...
Not a heck of a way to finish up a "collector" (aka non-movie) year. We sure got a heck of a lot more new figures from the OT during the PotJ run in 2001 (pre Ep2).
