well, i think the consensus was that the Falcon did well, just not as well. They're all sold out in my neighborhood, but then again I haven't been to TRU or K-Mart recently.

I think the Falcon suffered from a combination of many things... size, price, competiton, no media support, and most of all timing. I think Hasbro should try to only market one large vehicle at a time. I think a $150 AT-AT would do fine at retail. Collectors would be a bit more willing to buy as it wouldn't take up a lot of space, doesn't need much media support due to its relation to storm troopers, and if Hasbro is smart they would have it as the only large item on shelves. I think the timing of the Falcon hurt it due to the high price in the down economy, plus Hasbro had the cheaper and perhaps more kid-friendly AT-TE to tempt parents during the holidays. I hope the Turbo Tank does well so we do get an OT vehicle or two in the future. (Personally, I'd be more than willing to fork over $150 for an At-At and even $100 for a Sail Barge)
I cannot think of any other big Prequel vehicles that I want to own... I could see the Twilight and even the MTT being made, but those seem too risky for the big H.
It's still amazing to think that not even three years ago Hasbro couldn't stop saying that "big vehicles don't sell!", and now we're on our third new one.

I'm quite interested in seeing what this new G.I. Joe playset looks like and how it does at stores. I'm optimistic for the people who want some Star Wars playsets. However, I can't help but think that any playsets that are released will be a disappointment for collectors. I imagine any Hasbro-made playset to contain many spring activated features, spinning battle platforms (think Geonosis Arena) and a few missile launchers, thus killing the chances of a nice display environment for figures. As much as I'd like a Death Star tower playset similar to the vintage toy or a modular Tantive hallway, I think anything Hasbro does make will only dissappoint collectors, flop at retail, and further Hasbro's view of no playsets. Lets stick to vehicles if we want big items.

Credit goes to action figure news.

My thinking of not figure related stems from the mention of the R/C stuff in the article not being with the normal Star Wars stuff but rather on it's own. The RC astromechs are a good guess, but that 6-inch RC R2-D2 kinda throws that off. With a $17 price tag, I don't think the R/C stuff will be that great... It would be neat if they interact with figures but I'm not holding my breath. In any case, I'm really looking forward to Toy Fair to find out more.

It will be even funnier when it's the Goodwill stores start shuffling the Mutts. If the financially not-well-off don't want them, that's even worse. Hell, I half expect the garbage man to "forget" those bags of Mutts on trash collection day.

I'm thinking the trooper posted earlier is a Space Trooper. I believe Hasbro confirmed or hinted at an update in the Q&As, plus the blaster in the arm is something of a giveaway.

Well, I guess you probably won't be buying. 

I doubt the panels would be made removable, especially as it's not in the source material.
