So if I've read correctly, we'll be seeing the return of the Ultra sets in place of the Deluxe. Do you think they'll be themed as well like the '04 Saga attempt? What do you think will be good, or likely choices?
I'd like to see:
DeathStar trooper w/ work station (those cool round one's)
Bespin Solo w/Torture rack.
C3PO w/ Ewok ceremony Chair and Ewok
Uncle Owen w/ Mosture Vaporator
Can't really think of anything from the PT, but I'm sure you guys will have ideas in spades. ;)
-
Yavin Rebel Guard with Mini tower (maybe expandable like the Jango Kamino DLX), staff and binoculars.
Yavin Rebel Technician with Mini Shuttle (enough to hold a couple of pilots, etc) , ladder, and light sticks.
Hoth Rebel Technician with Mini Shuttle (see above)
Death Star Gunner with Turret
Obi-Wan Kenboi with Top of Tractor Beam
Ewok with rescaled Catapult
Gragra with Market Stand
Cantina Bar Round Piece with any unmade Cantina Alien
C-3PO with Oil Bath
Nut Gunray with Walking Throne
Palpatine or any Political Fig with Senate Pod
Yoda with Escape Pod
Palpatine with Throne and Oversized Window Backdrop
On a side note, would love to see a Screen Scene similar to the AOTC War Room with all Imperials as seen in ANH. Table with sitting versions of Vader, Tarkin, Wulf Valaren(SP), Motti, and a couple more. Make it able to connect with two 3-packs.

Great ideas, guys.
What's the difference, really, between Deluxe and Ultra, besides the bigger card? They're the same price ($9.99) right?
Here's my rather long list of ideas. I'm not sure if all of these would belong in the Ultra area (some may be vehicles, others beast assortments):
NEW:
Anybody with Senate pod
Confederacy battle droid gunner with turret
Death Star trooper with workstation
Emperor Palpatine throne and window backdrop
entirely new Jabba from Docking Bay 94 -- 2004 DVD version
Nute Gunray on mechnochair
Senate central podium with Palpatine -- the previously unmade outfit from the "as my first act with this new authority, I will create a grand army of the Republic" scene
Somebody with moisture vaporator -- preferably old or young Owen, but more likely ANH Luke
Star Destroyer clone gunner with turret
Trade Federation battleship pilot throne
Yoda Escape Pod
A 4-pack Ewoks army builder
Various clone army builder packs -- not statue clones
Death Star I conference room interlocking table segments with one figure apiece (thus making it feasible at Deluxe pricepoint)--Tarkin, Vader, Motti, Tagge, Wulff Yularen, etc.
Mustafar conference room sections with one figure apiece--Poggle, new Nute, new Rune, etc.
REPACKS (some of these were originally $9.99 Deluxe or Ultra, others were $7.99 or $11.99 but if you rereleased both at $9.99 it'd average out):
Vinty Ewok catapult
Episode I Droid Scout Tank -- the thing that looks kind of like a mini-AAT -- I already have one but wouldn't mind more
Episode I Eopie with variant Qui-Gon and EpIII Obi-Wan pack-ins
Episode I Gungan Assault Cannon with different Gungan warrior instead of Jar Jar
Episode I Gungan Catapult
Episode I Gungan Scout Sub with Obi-Wan
Episode I STAP -- already have one but should be released again
Saga Deluxe Flying Geonosian with Sonic Blaster and Attack Pod
Saga Ultra Ewok with glider
Saga Ultra Jabba the Hutt -- I already have one, but I think it should be released again
Saga Ultra Wampa
Clonetrooper and speeder bike (02 Saga or 03 Clone Wars)
Spider droid (Saga or Clone Wars)
-
Here is what I would like to see:
Eopie with Obi-Wan Kenobi
Young Beru and Owen Lars with Moisture Vaporator
Jabba's Denizen's II: Attark, Worrt, Bane Malar (or some character not yet done from Jabba's Palace)
Warok and Lumat with Ewok Catapult
Death Star Gunner with Turret

Good ideas all around guys. Looks like you guys have hit the nail on the head on these already, but here's my submissions. I'd like to see a prequel wave, then an OT wave.

- ROTS Gelagrub w/ Clonetrooper
Sequels - Wave Two

Prequels - Wave Three
- TPM Massage Chair w/ Gela Twin and Sebulba

- ROTS Senate Pod w/ Emperor Palpatine
Sequels - Wave Four

- ESB Torture Device w/ Han Solo
- ROTJ Catapult w/ Ewok
:P

Sequels - Wave Four
- ANH U-bar section w/ Tonnika Sister
- ESB Torture Device w/ Han Solo

I can guarantee that these would be a huge hit. Great choices CHEWIE.
I'd buy 'em for sure. 8)

spitting out a nasty,muddy r2 and they should have the r2 flying through the air at an angle in the bubble/packaging...awesome!

What do you think of this list?

anton's ideas are great too :
DeathStar trooper w/ work station (those cool round one's)
Bespin Solo w/Torture rack.
C3PO w/ Ewok ceremony Chair and Ewok
Uncle Owen w/ Mosture Vaporator

I would really love to see a clonetrooper riding that Slug on Felucia. I just can't see Hasbro doing it though. Although anything clonetrooper related may have a chance.
Speaking of clonetroopers. I would like to see them make a clonetrooper with the WWI inspired bridge cannon. They could make it fire out the cannisters in the back and shoot their plastic projectiles Hasbro loves so much. Again I doubt it gets made.
I am somewhat surprised they never made the Death Star Gunner with cannon or whateve that is called. They could have even included a tower with it. Then again that would cost them too much money in plastic.
Yes, a moisture vaporator has to be included with some Tatooine character at some point I hope. I am thinking with Owen, Beru, or Cliegg or a combo of those characters. However, if Hasbro ever does I am sure they will include it with the 900th Tatooine Luke variation.
Since Hasbro is anti playset. I would hope they could somehow make the Sarlacc into a deluxe set of some sort. I know that is awfully tough to do and would most likely be way underscaled but it's a thought anyway.
I really like the Ewoks with catapult idea. I personally want to see Chief Chirpa get the modern treatment at some point. Along with Warok and Romba of course. Use some of that money earned from the overprices exclusives and throw in all 3 ewoks with the catapult. Ha-ha! Yeah right.
Han with the torture rack is an obvious pick for a toy. You know they are dying to repack that Bespin Han from the POTJ line someway.
The U-shape cantina bar is a must toy as well for all of us with an imcomplete bar. Throw in some cantina patrons that HAVE NOT BEEN MADE YET. I will absolutely crap my pants in anger if they package Kenobi, Greedo, Hammerhead in there with it.
Hermi Odle - Hasbro was whining about Ephant Mon costing them too much money to make...blah..blah...blah. So, make Hermi and put him in the Ultra set along with Worrt and Sgt Doallyn.
Yoda with Escape Pod. No brainer there.
-
If we'll be getting Deluxe 2-Packs as the GH Swami said...
-Hermi Odle & POTF2 Rees-Yees
-POTJ Scout Trooper & POTJ Imperial Officer
-Mygeeto Snowtrooper & ROTS Commander Bacara
-Dresselian Commando & POTJ Sullustan Pilot
-SA Luke Jedi & 500th Vader
-
Those would all be most excellent HunterofthePegs... I'd probably buy the following for opening for dioramas and some custom fodder...
-Hermi Odle & POTF2 Rees-Yees x 4
-POTJ Scout Trooper & POTJ Imperial Officerx 4
-Mygeeto Snowtrooper & ROTS Commander Bacara x 4
-Dresselian Commando & POTJ Sullustan Pilot x 4
-SA Luke Jedi & 500th Vader x 2
Damn, that could get expensive!
:P
-
Eh, I want Ephant Mon bundled with Hermi Odle! But yeah Ree-Yees is a good choice to.
Han and Luke Stormtrooper 2 pack I'd go for.

That be awesome, a SA Luke Jedi and Vader for a Final Duel 2 Pack. Maybe throw in a "rail" base with "breakable" side railing for when Luke kicks Vaders ass. :)
-
I like the way you think about the railing. I would love to see them start adding in more diorama accessories to regular figures as well as deluxes.
:P

Would def. make for a sweet diorama peice. Have one half come with the Luke and Vader, and the other peices with the Emperor and his throne room chair.

I agree. The amazing thing is, I know there are people out there who disagree.
:P

I'm not one of them. Great idea.

Good! We need more of us to unite and demand more stuff like this. ;)

Are those confirmed? If so, it's going to suck trying to army build the Galactic Marine. I wouldn't mind more of those clone and droid 3-packs from the clone wars line.
-
It does pretty much suck that the Galactic Marine might be hard to army build... I think it should come with a Battle Droid instead of Bacara. We need more Battle Droids anyway.
:P
-
More 2-pack ideas...
Holo Zett Jukassa & SA 501st Stormtrooper
E1 Nute Gunray & E1 00M-9
CW Clone Trooper & SAGA San Hill
SAGA Ephant Mon & SAGA Bubo
-
Not really a 2-pack, but I really think they should make a Corporate Alliance Tank Droid. I'm still not sure why they haven't made this yet...they made a spider and crab droid...
-
I agree. There is a model coming out though, that I think is pretty close to scale.
:P
