I think this set is actually pretty boring. 6 Imperials and a Vader? Blah...
Yeah, this set certainly isn't for everyone, and IO's are obviously considered boring my some folks too. Just as re-released core characters aren't for everyone (mostly just the kids and brand new collectors). The entire line is a mixed bag that tries to appease kids, collectors, army builders, and customisers alike. But there's certainly a large contingent of OT fans and purists and long time collectors that have been absolutely itching for this thing, and all of these IO's, to get made for many years (like me). Most of us figured it was a pipe dream, but alas, here it is! So kudos to Hasbro for making it happen, even if half of these guys never even opened their mouth in the movie.
No doubt at all that Hasbro's aware that we'd very much like the table and chairs too, and the corresponding knee articulation, but at the desired price point for this exclusive, it's as good as they could do. Considering we're getting 4 all-new figures (well, the heads anyway) from the OT who were but a blip on the overall screen time, I'm highly excited that this concept/set finally came to fruition, so I'll take it as is, and be pretty dang thrilled about it!
I pushed the playset idea (table/chairs) at them in their booth afterwards, but it was the same answer as usual: NO PLAYSETS. So don't get your hopes up on that one. Definiely a good idea to head over to Frank's site for some customs instructions to polish this scene out properly...
