1. Han Bespin (SA/Vintage)*
2. Rebel Soldier - Hoth Battle Gear ** (For sake of clarity - this is the trench trooper, not a hanger trooper)
3. Luke - Snowspeeder Pilot
4. Admiral Piett
5. Luke - Medical Frigate
6. Leia - Medical Frigate
7. Zuckuss
8. Probe Droid (NEW sculpt) ***
9. Luke - Hoth (SA/Vintage)
10. R5-M2
11. Original (Mustached) Bespin Guard (i.e. vintage #1)
12. Original (Black) Bespin Guard (i.e. vintage #2)

* This assumes that the Torture rack version coming this year WILL NOT fill the SA Han Bespin requirement for the year - If we're NOT counting that in this year's vote, then everything moves up one spot and then #10 would be:

** This assumes that we're NOT getting a new SA Hoth Rebel Soldier, and that the two figures that are coming are the McQuarrie cameo and then the McQuarrie "concept" trooper.  If we are, then he gets struck from the list.

#'s 11 & 12 are included only IF #1 and #2 are not included in this year's vote.

*** This assumes it's even a possibility for the basic line - although I think we need to campaign for one in SOME line - we've never had one that's even close to accurate, and with the new molding capabilities, I expect we could get an outstanding probe droid - just suspend it on a clear stand, so that the legs can be accurately portrayed.

And finally:

PUH-LEEEEZE don't vote for:

22.Treva Horme
22.Utris M'Toc
23.Wiorkettle

These are all Decipher photo-shops, and no matter how hard I look, I cannot find them in the films - and further more, Utris looks like an escapee from that other major Sci-Fi franchise (you know, the randome nose/forehead ridge of the week?)

Much more limited choices for Empire than for the other five!

There is indeed not much left to do here - and thanks for acknowledging the truth about some of those "Decipher" figures - there are TONS of photoshopped images from those cards that people are asking for as figures - let's get through the ones that you can actually see on screen first.

And with the lack of a Cantina, Palace or similar scene, coupled with the fact that for much of the movie the main characters are isolated either on the MF or Dagobah - there just isn't the charater selection left from ESB that there is from the other five movies.

As for E-3P0 - he's sort of a pewter color and therefore could definitely be done new - TC-14 does, however, work as U-3P0 from the beginning of ANH.

Will look forward to the wish list thread next week!

Recently joined the forum based on the start of the 2007 wishlist process - REALLY like what I see in this thread, but do have a question - on the front posting for this thread where it shows the selections for 2006, the Han and Luke Stormtroopers were crossed off as "Confirmed for 2007." While I'm aware of the comic-pack releases, I am not aware that "correct" releases are announced - rumored sure, but nothing confirmed - is there something that y'all know here that I've missed - as I had included BOTH of those in my ANH Top Ten for this year.

Glad to be here!
