I just hope the Chewie is some iteration of the VOTC/Early Bird sculpt, since I have neither.

The word is that it's more like the ROTS sculpt with a chain.

 

I hope you get better, man, I know how it goes.  I'm a night owl, too, like right now.     I haven't gotten much sleep in the last week, but more than you it sounds like, so take it easy.

This is the oddest theme next year, because of all the other glaring possibilites from ROTS.

New Stuff:
SA Commander Cody (unless he's coming in some other fashion, and if he is, then: a Padme, my kingdom for a new Padme)
SA Senate Duel Palpatine
SA Senate Duel Yoda

Repacks/Rehashes
Clone Trooper (Shocktrooper, 501st, Utapau, all of 'em)
Evolutions Anakin w/ pilot gear or as Darth Vader
Cin Drallig (new head on existing Jedi body)

Dream Come True:
Coruscant Fireman

There's so much here... it's like picking your favorite kid.

New Stuff:
SA Snowspeeder Luke w/ the works - variant Wedge head
SA Snowtrooper or Hasbro will hear about it.
Major Bren Derlin or Torryn Farr, I'm happy with either
SA General Veers Evolutions style w/ the works

Repacks/Rehashes:
General Rieekan
Han Hoth or Bespin Capture, one of them for sure
2-1B
Some Hoth droid repaint not in EE's sets

Dream Come True:
SA AT-AT Driver resculpt

I just hope the Chewie is some iteration of the VOTC/Early Bird sculpt, since I have neither.

Time for Darb to weigh in with his hopes/dreams:

Yeah, what Hasbro has against Wedge being a regular, carded figure is inexplicable.  I think it's safe to say retail isn't sore on him the way it was Tatooine Luke at one point.  I'm not buying this, because I know Hasbro will go back to him, again, as soon as they come with another pilot body to kit bash him from.   

I don't know as much about all this as Jesse and some of the others, but I find it odd Hasbro would be limited somehow in the number of Clones they could get out of one body.  Playmates certainly never had this problem with their Star Trek lines - several figures utilized the same body, often in the same assortment - and Hasbro has already shipped multiple paint variants of the same figure simultaneously: the EP1 Battle Droid.

I would think solid cases of clones would sell like toliet paper - it always sells - provided there was variety in the paint schemes.  A case of #41 clones done up in 501st, Utapau, and Shocktrooper colors would never go out of style.
