thanks for the list, since i'm guessing it was for me...

i think that since you are the one who is getting me started collecting these, i'm going to put you in charge of making sure i get every single piece ;)

I've already been searching the 'Bay for ya' Dave!   :-*  Bookmarked a few auctions that I'm keeping my eye on, in case they're worth mentioning to you the closer they get to closing...  That Early Bird set usually hits at least $100 most of the time, so that'll be a toughie.  A Vintage variant Fett chase figure actually closed at $49 a week or two ago, so that's definitely dropping down significantly from where it used to be, which is a good sign for you...  I'll keep you posted bud!

But Adam's right - you need to buy the three of us a carded Fett if you want to be admitted into the club.  If you do that, the three of us will pitch in together to get you one too!  Sound like a deal?!   ;D

If you did not order earlier from HLJ, looks like you SOL! As per HLJ:

 Discontinued: Item is out of stock and the manufacturer has discontinued it. We don't expect to get any additional stock for the forseeable future.

Out-of-stock items are displayed with squares (in-stock items with circles). Black squares with a "jolly roger" skull and crossbones indicate items that we have no stock of, and that have been discontinued by the manufacturer.

Because there is no chance of getting such items in the near future, we don't accept orders for them. Keep in mind, however, that other merchants could very well have stock of such items, particularly stores outside of Japan.

In addition, companies such as Tamiya, Bandai and others will frequently place older products on a long-term reissue cycle. Products like these may be issued only once every few years. Between these long reissues, the products will show as discontinued on our web site if we're out of stock, but they may very well be available again at some point in the (distant) future.

The popularity of these figures makes me think that we'll see at least 10 wave of 5-6 figures meaning a total of 54-56 total figures spread out over the next 3 years.  I also really, really hope the stay with the OT...pipedream I'm sure and I guess I wouldn't be really upset if it comes to pass but there is a ton of stuff I want

I really hope they finish out the ANH Vintage Line (the first four really could be released in ANY of the Waves)

ANH:
Darth Vader
C-3PO
X-Wing Luke
Stormtrooper
Jawa
R5-D4
Hammerhead
Power Droid
DST
Walrusman
Snaggletooth
Tarkin

Yoda and Lando are must do's the rest are just sort of filler

ESB:
Yoda
Lando Calrissian
Snowtrooper
Hoth Han
Hoth Luke
Hoth Leia
Bespin Luke
Bespin Han
Bespin Leia
Lobot
FX-7
21-B
Ugnaught

Again the Emperor is the biggest must do here...

ROTJ:
Emperor
Jedi Luke
Slave Leia/Boussh
Jabba (not sure on this one)
Bib Fortuna
Gamorrean Guard
Han Carbonite
Biker Scout
Wicket
Admiral Ackbar
Imperial Royal Guard
General Lando
Endor Han
Endor Luke
Endor Leia

The chases for me are not the big of a deal really, I could care less if I had a White and Orange Sandtrooper, Unique Figs are must haves though

My guess for Wave 3:

Darth Vader
C-3PO
Tarkin
Death Star Trooper
X-Wing Luke
Stormtrooper (Han or Luke Stormtrooper chase)

Cool.  Send mine first.  Dale and Adam can flip over the other one...  Hurry up and snag a third one though, so the three of us can return the favor and get you one too Dave!

My cases just arrived!

One box with 5 loose boxes. No master case. There was a dent on the shipping case. 1 case was dinged & the perforated strip that open the box at the top on the left side & 3/4 of the bottom egde is open. Also a few figure boxes popped open. Looks like 3 of them. Not a biggy. The other 4 are sealed!  8)

I'm not going to weight them as it will take to long to do. Stay tuned.  ;)
