Sweet! Good thing I haven't bought a BARC yet.

Although considering the spoilers I've seen, I think it would make more sense to put the Wookiee with the AT-RT and the clone with the BARC.... *scratches head*

PM sent. (I'll get the hang of this eventually.... )

Sorry Valin - for some reason I thought you meant the Anakin from that scene, not the Tusken Raider.  I didn't read too well... have a bad night last night.  Yeah, I'd love to see that Tusken again.

Ah, I see.

Incidentally, Tuskens have always seemed comparatively scarce at the stores I frequent.

I do realize there is a mask difference on the Royal Guards... maybe it would be possible to use the ROTS body with the POTJ helmet?  Might work out ok.

Great idea!

While I totally get that they want to stay ROTS focused this year, and their lineup makes sense to me, I’m starting to think Hasbro should have continued to ship a revamped, smaller OTC line simultaneously. Put it on the same shaped cards, but retain the OTC look, with a black and silver Vader. Keep it down to a small assortment of core characters, and just keep those people happy. It would have been a nice side-line that didn’t get in the way of the ROTS onslaught, I think.

Not a bad idea.

But I'd want it to be clearly distinguishable from the ROTS line, such as OTC colors like you say. We don't want somebody getting his hopes up, "Hey look Han Solo's gonna be in ROTS!!!!1!11!!1one!!", when he just hasn't looked closely enough at the card.

Damn, what a nice list you came up with.   

Thanks. *blushing*

EPI Sidious - not that it's a bad sculpt, but it was a pegwarmer before (at least in MO, and the ROTS version is awesome

Was it? I can hardly even remember ... it all runs together. However he was in AOTC since then, and the figure hasn't been made available, which seems odd since we got characters like Ayy Vida with even less screen time and much less importance.

I don't think ROTS Emperor Palpatine counts because he's different visually -- uber-wrinkled gray skin instead of normal -- and technically speaking it's a different character. And this is one of the aspects I'm really trying to stay spoiler-free on so I'd appreciate if we don't delve too deep here....

Tusken Ambush Anakin - just seemed like a bad pegwarmer in my parts, really don't like the action feature

I have one, and I'd like a couple more for army building purposes. And I didn't remember it having an action feature? 

Blue Coruscant Guard - don't know if you were talking about the POTJ one - I want to see them keep re-releasing the ROTS version

Yeah, I meant the POTJ one. There's actually some costume differences between TPM and ROTS.

The TPM version has an open-faced helmet and twin horsehair crests

while the ROTS version has a black visor and a truncated solid single crest.

I have one of the POTJ version but I'd like a couple more since they seem to travel in groups.

Motti/Piett - jus think we need new sculpts of them

Good point. Just redo all the officers -- Piett, Motti, Old Tarkin, and whoever else needs doing (Tagge, Needa, Jerjerrod). And of course re-release the black-uniformed POTJ version ad infinitum ... maybe with an olive-green variant to shake things up. That figure is awesome.

That was a fantastic list though - I enjoyed reading it and thinking back to when those figures were in stores.  Most were either hard to find or were pretty hot figures.

Agreed. Most of these I've been lusting after for years. Some of them are so obvious I honestly can't understand why they haven't been rereleased already. Though I really doubt the exclusives will be reused (Figrin, Oola, Kabe & Muftak) since that would nullify the whole point of it being an exclusive.

   

Can't say I'm surprised.
