You know fellas, pics of the new stuff would be great... Or at least links.

In the last few years whenever TF came around you could find pics a plenty. This is the first year I'm having trouble finding pics of the new stuff.

Not just SW, but TF, Halo, LEGO, etc.

All I'm asking is that if you're going to mention something from TF, could you provide a link to a pic (since you've obviously seen it), so the rest of us can ooh and ahh over it and contribute to the thread.

Most appreciated. (Oh and this was just posed as a question, no malice or ill will-I know it can be hard to read into peoples words on the net, and I didn't want you guys to think I was trying to be a jerk asking for pics or inks.)

I"m going to get this, but I'd have been happy if the head could only fit 4 figures and be more in scale with the rest of the body. This AT-AT did not need a speederbike (and the crappy old mold to boot). All that did was inflate the price even more, though $99 is a good price for this.

I'd have rather the actual AT-AT been bigger or the head smaller to seem more in scale.

What I'd love to see now is a comp shot with the new snowspeeder underfoot of it, ala the scene in ESB. You'd think Hasbro would have done that. Oh but wait, maybe that's still not in scale either...

Just have to wait and see now.

Like I said, I'm getting this, but only 1. Before Toy Fair I was entertaining the notion of up to 3 of them. That notion is gone.

I was curious how many people would be going "carded/loose" again with this line.

I've been carded since I started in 01, but HATED the newer Legacy cards, so I cracked a wave open, but felt awful so I'm on track especially since we're going back to vintage packaging.  I'm sure there's a bunch of openers that will stray back, but who knows.

I won't buy a set to keep carded, however I will CAREFULLY remove the bubble form the card so I have as pristine card as possible with the bubble off of it. Then I can easily put it into a slip cover and into a book. (I've done this with the last several card designs, so it's nothing new for me.) I just can't justify the cost and reasoning to keep stuff carded now. Of all my collection I'd guess less than 7-10 is carded/boxed.

What is that Galactus thing? Is it a game or a big ass figure in a box?

I agree. That Naboo Skiff is OUTSTANDING. And maybe we'll be seeing that Anakin figure's body reused for generic Naboo soldiers in the future.

And it's great to see we'll be getting a Cad Bane with knee articulation.


Wow. This is gonna be an expensive year.

Where is this skiff and slide show? Can't find a link.

From RS user JarJarBinks:



I want them all plus multiples of the AIM soldiers.

Sweet. but who is the skinny yellow dude and who is the green dudes with the Iron Man figs? Titanium Man maybe for one of them, but who is the other.

Rregardless, I'll likely get them, if I can find them.

I did find some of the new Iron Man 2 figs. Got Iron Man (comic series red/yellow), Stealth Iron Man (comic series), First Appearance Iron Man, Crimson Dynamo.

Oh and I wasn't waiting on anything, I only just got a look at the link and immediately went to it, but the stuff sold out that quickly. It's popular. Dang, I wish my local Wal*Mart would send their 4 cases of old car back! No wonder I can't find the new stuff. The carp is clogging up the pegs like a port-a-potty at an amusement park! It stinks! lol

Legends would not be that bad if they repacked some new figure like:

Evo Maul
2 Part Helmet Vader
Resurgence Luke
Tin Pack Chewbacca in non snow deco
Dewback Sandtrooper
Dewback Sandtrooper as a plain Stormtrooper
Geo Kit Fisto
Evo Emporer
Evo Qui-Gon
Utupau Trooper with darker orange color
Clone Pilot

They can repack some of the best broad appeal figures that would sell and get many collectors to buy more of. Instead we get a 90's Maul with worse deco than before, Sae See Tinn again, Plo Koon when the new one is out at the same time, the 2006 Sandtrooper, 2001 Bespin Han. Legends would not be that bad if they reshuffled the mix more often. I am fine with repacks or having core characters just have the better versions of them. I would buy so much more for custom purposes alone.

I'd agree with most of those choice Jack, but not Fisto. He;s just not a main character. Likewise, Qui-gon is so far removed from the movies and isn't in the cartoon. And I'm really tired of Sandtroopers. We've plenty of those over the last year or two. Army builders yes, but very specific ones. Regular Stormtroopers I can understand. As to Vader, while he should be out there, he should be limited. Look what happened a couple of years ago when we had a plethora of Vader out there.

While I bought a ton of the Utapau trooper, and I'm assuming you mean the ROTS version and not the CW phase 1 armor, again, it's rather scene specific. Also, it's from a movie and not the "more popular cartoon."

Frontline main characters should have some presence in the Legends line, so to main army builders. Secondary characters not so much in fact nearly not at all. Secondary army builder a little. Tertiary characters and troopers forget about it.

I stilll think the Legend sline has to end. I understand Hasbro's want for it, but I think it's been mismanaged and yes, it's help in collector drop off and disinterest.

Now here's the funny thing about that statement, which is basically what Hasbro is saying.

If kids and casual buyers are the main focus, then why even blame we collectors at all. In fact shouldn't it be the kids they blame for buying trends? You know they won't do that. And if it's we collectors who are being blamed and subsequently are seeming to be the driving force in the Legacy line, then we've caught Hasbro in their own lie that they've tried to cover up. Fact is we ARE important to then for sales, otherwise they would just drop the realistic line altogether.

As JediJman astutely showed, Hasbro cannot afford to give up the third line, be it Legends or Realistic, less they give away precious peg and shelf space.

They created the Legends line for more profit per figure since virtually no tool and dye was needed. So cost of figure was less and it isn't as bad when they don't sell because they supposedly have a much higher profit margin per figure than the Legacy line.

I defy anyone to say that they have a flood of Legacy figures on the shelf though that aren't moving. Yes, maybe an occasional figure, but not from the black topped new cards. Those are practically nonexistent. Just read here on JD or any number of other collecting sites. But take that analogy to Legends and you see we're swimming in figures.

Hasbro SCREWED up. Not we collectors.

Hasrbo MUST lower the production numbers for Legends while increasing numbers for Legacy (soon to be Vintage).

Sorry for the rant, I'm just getting tired of the argument, especially from Hasbro.

Sal - I think we are in agreement more than you realize.

...There just is no need for the Legends line to exist. NONE.

 I'll agree with you on this one point for sure, but not in the execution of it. I want Legends gone for good, not another line, and definitely not mixed into the "vintage" line.

But alas, I know we need to have "core" characters on the pegs. That's part of the problem though. Hasbro's character choice of who/what makes a core character is downright dreadful at times. Don't get me wrong, I love the character of Plo Koon, but a core character he does NOT make.
