I loved the TAC figures, but hated the hunt the chase to find them most of the year. I know Hasbro claims it was the "coins" that caused the most problems. All I have to say the person incharge of makeing sure everything was running smooth, needs to be fired! Who ever this person was blew it and made it dam well impossible to find stuff! The lack of suppy of figures at Target, the over wellimg felling of haveing 3 waves hit back to back (4,5,6) and them 7,7.5,8 and hitting during the heart of the holiday shopping season sucked! Then add the peg glogging idea of SL drove me insane! The UGH hunt, I recall in one of the Q&A with the Hasbro Rep, they said their would be ENOUGH this year to avoid the problem of the scalpers buying up the supply like they did with Saga. Ha! How many of you if not for other collectors or just plain luck would have not gotten these figures? ME!!!

Now on to the year end exclsuives, one word sums it up for me overpriced and uninspired! The ultimate battle packs as where they looked "cool" with the exception of the Hoth Turret, what was so great about them? I mean I think a majority of us had all those figures. The AT-RT pack was just terrible and did we really need a new Arch-170?  Then the so called called Walmart exclsuives, repacks and over priced!

Get to work Hasbro, you are going to have do a lot more to get me to spend next year! try originalty nex year, it might help Hasbro.

FYI I didnt even mention the debacle of the convention exclsuives this past summer!

Ya, I ran across them today. I had to pass. They look really cool!

Good luck on your quest!

I didnt buy any ships, the only ships I have are the Gunships! I have no problem passing up the vechiels.  I would "help" if the cost of the figures would go "down" like Walfart has done.

Hey I don't open my figures, but I do not get them graded! Please do not lumb us "carded" people with the nuts that think they have to get their figures graded.! Carded collectors are just as good as those who dont! 

Picked up Rebel Concept at Target, looks like BobaFett77 was hot on my trail this morning! And my waves 7.5 and 8 came from Hasbroshop! Im all finished with TAC! Also saw the Jabba Band/dancers packs at WalMart 24.95 (I had to pass)

I definitely need to cut back next year even more than I did this year.   This year saw me turn into an opener as well as develop a "focus" on the musicians of Star Wars, and I tried to only pick up the "new" figures from the TAC line but I ended up getting the whole shebang to complete that damn coin album.   Next year I'm going to stick to it.   The fact that I'm really into the SideShow 12" line isn't helping either- 3 of 'em at Xmas time is hurting.   Not to mention that I REALLY want to get at least the Hoth Ultimate Battle Pack and probably the Endor one too.

Sigh

AHhh the "coins" that was my excuse aswell! I think what happens as a "collector" you start to find a particular foucus, for me last year I found the Cantina/Jabba's court figures the most deseriable. I also really like Jedi.

I just read at RS their round up of Hasbro ?'s that the price of the comic packs is going up to 11.99 staring next year. Some dumbass actually asked Hasbro to raise the price sot hey could get "better" articulated figures! I thought the purpose of the comic packs was to give the collector a break on the price since it was cheaper to pack the figures this way,according to Hasbro. Well cross these off my list for a maybe buy next year!
