I really wish this line was not animated and done in a realistic style, they are so many great things/characters coming out of the show but I cannot collect cartoons. At least the vehicles are realistic......

Yeah, I feel just as passionately on the opposite end of the spectrum. I ONLY want the animated line. And I would LOVE animated versions of some of the "classic" figures but I realize they are separate mediums with unique content and appeal.

I cannot collect that Legacy swag because the quality of the sculpts, representations, etc is, IMHO, abysmally poor compared to the original Vintage Kenner figures. I think Hasbro does a GREAT job at reproducing the animated likenesses though.

Apparently I am part of a very tiny minority of collectors focusing exclusively on the CW line. I wish there were more of us!

AWESOME score Rupert! I was lucky just to find the first Wave, now I see Wave 2 are here already. It is raining Clone Wars merch all of a sudden!

I hope these filter out to the right coast in the next week or so...

Rupert...you are exactly right - the Ryloth and Abregado BP'S were both pictured at SDCC with release dates of 9/6/2009.

Of course, the Rishi Moon Outpost Attack BP was supposed to be out even before those 2, and I have still yet to see it anywhere...

Just...WOW.

Extremely impressive, the sheer size and depth of the collection. That is a major financial commitment.

Can I hazard a guess you don't have a wife or kids? 

Major props - I am utterly humbled!

Man, thanks for the UPC #.

I just got off a painful call with the local Walmart trying to get them to check stock on that #. I had to read it back to them 3 different times and they still couldn't find it.

THIS SUCKS!!!

Ahhh, I was able to exchange my damaged box for a new one yesterday...this is officially off the list.

It really DOES seem like an outstanding vehicle...new sculpts are always a plus for me.

Thanks for the info, that is great to know!

I have tried to be pretty selective about the loose figs I am picking up, most are from reputable dealers with 100% feedback and have detailed descriptions and photos. I have definitely noticed a few auctions that seem intentionally vague out there.

Last stupid question - what kind of a grading scale is being used on these things? I see lots of C10 and C9.5 but I have no idea what those points correspond to. Is it some kind of AFA standard?

I have been scoping these out on eBay as well because it is one of the last few remaining figs on my list, outside of the minor variants like smiling Lando, brownhair Luke, etc.

I was really surprised how cheap they are. Most I have seen have gone for less than $100.

I definitely plan on picking one up in the next week or two...
