Or maybe they could include the Yavin Accesory Set stuff? All those lil boxes/ladders? I dunno.

It'll probably be a seperate R unit, plus the pilot, and that's it.

I would be happy with the Yavin Accesory set with it.  However, I want several of those, so I guess that's not the answer for me.

Wowzer!  $45.  Maybe Hasbro has created a way for it to fly.

Or an accesory that lifts the R2 unit into place in the X-Wing!!

Just to be curious, I bid on it (since it was at $9.99 at the time and not at the reserved amount), but since I can't afford to pay an outrageous price, I only bid it to $27.  I'm sure the reserve is at least $80.  The Buy it Now price doesn't have to be the reserve, does it?

Do we even know for sure it will come with the Red Leader figure?   Haven't we always had cheap rehashes for figures if the vehicle comes with a figure at all?

I'm sticking with hitting the stores.  Now that figures are finally showing up at Target, Walmart, TRU, & K-B, I'm hoping there won't be any problems next year either.

Yeah, someone said Luke looks like candy.  I could see him sitting on the end of a giant lollipop.   I'll still get him anyway.  I think the Lando looks great, too.  But like SilverZed3 said, I really didn't think he needed to be done again.  I'll have to look at it next to the last released Skiff Lando.  I love Rappertunie and look forward to seeing the drummers eventually being added.

Which is too bad because I think the could of had an awesome Bespin Wave with something like

Leia
Cloud Car Pilot
Lobot
Ice Cream Maker Guy
Bespin Guard (running change on the ethnicity)

I think OCB is on to something.  Although it would seem Hasbro will pass up a perfect opportunity to release the CD Rom Bespin Vader from a few years back.

Well, here's hoping OCB is wrong about not having a Bespin wave.   Even with Wol Cabasshite being made in the Ultra set, I doubt Ice Cream Maker Guy would be a likely candidate for a Bespin wave.  So, combining Spuffy and OCB's idea, I'm hoping there is a Bespin wave with the following:

Bespin Gown Leia
Cloud Car Pilot
Lobot
CD Rom Bespin Vader
Bespin Guard (running change on the ethnicity)

Which not only includes some (unconfirmed) figures that are coming out in 2004, but the Vader adds something that Hasbro has already worked on and would likely be coming in the future anyway.

OUCH!!!  Perhaps I'm just too broke to care how early I get my figures, but I can't imagine paying that much.  So far, I've gotten all my figures at or below normal cost.  Now, I'm going to have to pay someone to get the Walmart Trash Compactor with Luke & Han, but other than that, I'm caught up and waiting for the new figures to hit in my area.   But, I still regret most of my  POTF2 purchases from the beginning of the line.

Hey Hasbro! / Re: hey hasbro how about some imperial commanders

Yeah, we definitely need some of the high profile Imperial Officers.  Namely...

-General Tagge
-Colonel Wulf Vularen
-Admiral Ozzel
-Captain Needa
-Moff Jerjerrod

That sounds like a great list to me...  I can't think of any one else I would NEED, though I'm trying to remember if there are any unnamed officers in the conference room where Vader momentarily force strangles Motti.  And I think they made Captain Piett, so when they are done making one of every character, they could throw in Admiral Piett.

Even with the six there, the spacing is still way off.  The print on the floor design comes in at the wrong angles at every place the floor joins together.  Also, the columns in the back are spaced two closely at those same joints.  I think the picture posed from RS would have looked better with the chairs sitting directly on top of the printed floor that you see through in the middle of the screen scenes.

I seem to remember the council room being like a semicircle, so I think if you had four bases (12 jedi) you'd have pretty much the correct setup.

The council room is a full circle and the 4 bases would not make a full circle (closer to 4/5 I would guess).

Anyone notice that the pieces, when fit together, would still need something in between each base?  Even if they eventually made the center piece (which they won't), there would need to be an additional piece for spacing inbetween each base for 3.   First, the columns in the back are too close together  when you attach 2 bases together and then the decoration in the yellow part of the floor doesn't work right when 2 bases are attached.

To start with, I am not a completist, but if it's not EU or a rehash, then odds are about 98% that I bought it.   Reading through these posts, I am so glad I pick carefully.  I only had Matt buy 3 of the Star Tour Droids for me and I am VERY happy with those 3.  I did not buy the Jedi Council Yoda because it was a repaint, didn't buy Anakin vs. Geonosian Deluxe (or any Deluxe Saga fig other than the Nexu, C3PO droid builder, Yoda deluxe, and the geonosian in the hive) because they all looked terrible.  The ones I bought, I am happy with.  I just bought the Shuttle from KBToys.com for a total of $86 including shipping and while I still think that is too high, it's better than anything I've seen.   I am dissappointed in some of action features and extreme poses, but I would still buy them.  

The main thing I regret is my early POTF2 purchases.   I started collecting late (I'm guessing '98), so I made a LOT of eBay purchases to catch up.  I have all (Non EU) POTF2 figures starting with Luke, Vader, 3PO & R2 in July of '95.   If I had only waited, then I wouldn't have overpaid for the He-Man steriod figures and had the newer, better sculpted figures from the later POTF2 run in '99 and the POTJ figures.

Looks like Matt has helped us all out.    Big thank you for:

3 Star Tours droids
Vader
Luke
Han
Chewie
red BD
Dooku

Thanks for all your help.  I was very late on my payment due to closing and moving into a new house and Matt was VERY patient.  Thanks for all your help!
