I wouldn't mind seeing them revisit the vehicles again...

Unfortunately, for now anyway, they're focusing on those incredibly lame litte EU vehicles that they're re-using molds from other defunct Hasbro toy lines for.  I started seeing their silly little "X-Wing Racer" vehicle at TRU's all around here over the past several days.  $15, I think.

But yeah, hopefully they get back to some good OT stuff here soon, both figures and vehicles, 'cause as it stands, this line is losing momentum pretty quick amongst all the other ROTS stuff out there right now...

[Jeff]

Yeah, this line has just died.   

They gave us a bunch of cool OT figures last year, but then... eh.

I had to see the RotS wave 2 (kit/mace, r2/droid, chewie/clone) like 4-5 times before I finally broke down and bought them (probably just for the sake of buying something new).

This line had such appeal, but it really has died off somewhat with the introduction of the goofy EU junk.

I still have not seen ROTS wave 2.

Bummer.

[JesseVader08]

I never saw them at retail either, I decided to accept that I never would and just ordered them from an e-tailer.

[DSJ™]

I haven't see wave 2 ethier. 

[darkksith]

does anyone know why the clone in the 2-pack w/ chewie has the blue clone markings similar to the 3 3/4 inch target clone w/ red markings? is this version of clone referenced anywhere in a official lucasfilm picture? i'm strictly a 3 3/4 inch figure collector and i just now noticed this and was curious.

[Holographic Elvis]

No clue why the clone is that way.

I see wave 2 all over the place out here now.

[Brian]

Yeah, we're seeing more of Wave 2 here now too.  I found them on 4/2, only to see them disappear for a couple of months and now start showing up again.  I suspect they were mostly in the backroom waiting for wave 1 to clear out.  To be honest, I didn't think Wal-Mart would ever get out from underneath all the Wave 1 packs they had, but unless they packed them up/sent them back...they must have sold them.  I don't really see those packs anymore, its been more of the OT repacks (lots of those right now) and then a little of ROTS Wave 2 sprinkled in.  Hopefully we'll see some continuation of this line at Comic-Con...aside from this craptastic "transforming" vehicles anyways.  More figures and a ship or two a year would be nice.  Although it would likely never happen, how cool would a Galactic Heroes AT-AT be?

[Holographic Elvis]

Dude, sign me up for an AT-AT.

[Brian]

While we're on the subject of the potential future of the GH line, are there any figures (or beasts/ships) you'd like to see in particular?  I always tend to lean towards OT offerings, so I'll stick to that with my list.

Figures (2 packs)
Bespin Luke/OT Yoda or Bespin Luke/Spirit Ben
Bespin Lando/Lobot
Endor Han/Endor Leia
Hoth Rebel Soldier/Snowtrooper
OT Emperor/(repack Jedi Luke or Vader?)
Leia Boussh/Han in Carbonite
Greedo/Hammerhead (Momaw Nadon)
Walrusman (Ponda Baba)/Sandtrooper
Teebo/Logray/Chief Chirpa
General Lando/Admiral Ackbar
Han Stormtrooper/Luke Stormtrooper
Troop Packs (Stormtroopers, Biker Scouts, Hoth Stormtroopers, Rebel Troops)

Vehicles/Playsets
TIE Fighter w/Pilot
Slave 1 w/(repack) Boba Fett
AT-AT w/Driver, Hoth Rebel Soldier/Commander, Snowtrooper
Landspeeder (normal) w/Luke, Obi-Wan
Jabba the Hutt w/Dais, Bib Fortuna, Amanaman (or any other Palace alien)
Max Rebo Band Set

Lots of other ideas I'm sure I'm forgetting, but those are a few I'd like to see.  Probably not very likely, but they would be neat

[dafoo]

Hasbro probably doesn't want to go too nuts on the size of this line, it is for like 3+ in age after all lol

[JayDouble]

Here are 3 pictures I took:

[Mikey D]

If I'm seeing correctly, I see four "new" figures repacked with four old ones: 

-BARC Trooper (repaint of Scout Trooper) & Yoda (from AOTC clonetrooper two pack)
-Yellow clonetrooper (repaint of blue one that came with Chewie) & Anakin (from Count Dooku two pack)
-501st clonetrooper (repaint of blue w/ Chewie) & Anakin (w/ Dooku)
-Hologram Emperor (repaint of Emperor) & Darth Vader (from old Obi Wan Kenobi two pack)

For $5 each I can live with these.  Although the yellow clonetrooper should have been repacked with Obi Wan to avoid two of the same Anakins in one wave.

[knashdx]

I concer with Mikey D. 2 Anakins in the same line is a waste. But I do like the Holo-Emperor figure it looks cool.

[Brian]

Repaints and repacks in a Hasbro line....shocking .  That said, I guess they aren't too bad.  I agree Mikey, should have been Obi-Wan with that Utapau style clone, hopefully they will change that.  I'm not sure if I will pick these up or not, I usually lean more towards OT offerings, but I might get that Yoda/Clone 2 pack just to get that BARC trooper...looks kind of neat.  But come on, how about some new stuff in one of your lines Hasbro?
