Oh c'mon.  It's bee like this since 1978.  The little Jawa all alone on that big card?  Remember?

What gets me mad is that lack of skirt on the Rebel!  Again, Hasbro goes out of their way to short change an army builder so we'll want a new one next year.  As far as accuracy goes, this guy sucks...

I was mentally prepared for either outcome regarding the Ugnaughts. At least we do get some extra accessories.

Yeah, and at least we are getting the tables , Septoid and Dice  - cut backs would have to occur somewhere along the line.

Also Ugnaught looks good.

I think I can deal with the Ugnaughts being single packed because we're getting so much else in the package, there are the accessories (tools and control panel) plus the droid part.  To me that's a lot more of a deal than a saltshaker Senator with just a stand.

As jono said there are quite a few other cool packins this year.  I'd add in the repeating blaster (not sure what its called) that comes with the Hoth Trooper.  I'm sure there will be a couple others too.

It'll be interesting to see how large or small the sculpt actually is.  If it's too big, it's a better deal, but perhaps less accurate to the film.  I'm bothered by the short apron, though there could have been one like that in the junkpile room; gonna have to do some research  :P

Ok guys thanks for your answers. Itīs true both ughnaughts are a must for our collection, indeed the console accesory is intended to balance the amount of plastic used.

I saw some pics from potj Freeze Chamber, on the top and bottom it has consoles

So if this console comes with the taller ughnaught, what accesory do you expect to come with the shorter ughnaught guy?

Nice one!

What about a straight repaint of the carbonblock from saga? Remove the glow effect but maybe add some coloured lights (Paint) to the side panels.

Both awesome ideas! I'd like a ladder because it could also go with the X-Wings, since after the Scramble at Yavin battle pack it'll pretty much be the only big thing missing from the Yavin hangar (besides Commander Willard).

I really like the idea of a "solid" deco Han Carbonite block that lights up at the control panels.  Wouldn't take much, actually, to make the panels look right either.  Some transluscent stickers over each panel with an LED inside would do the trick pretty much.  I've actually considered that project myself a couple times.  As an accessory to a small figure, that would be quite neat...  Seems unlikely though. :(

It isn't completely out of the question though.  After all, we've gotten an electronic R2-D2 with led's and sound in the basic figure line.
