I wish they’d skew more like 50/50 new and remakes...  6 to 1 kind of sucks.

I'd prefer "new" but I'll take 6 more "vintage" figures that I either don't have carded or at least not on ESB cards.
This is the water, and this is the well. Drink full, and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within

And if I understand Jayson's pics these are not exclusive this time? I hope they're less of a pain to find.

I am shocked they went with the Hoth Leia over Bespin Leia...I figured they would stick with the 1980 figures across the board.

Hope these are easier to find in store this time, and if so that Wave One makes it back around the same way!

Are there 7 figures or 6?  These all look like rehashes.  Is there a new one in here?

There is an ESB board game coming too, but the rumor is the pack in figures for that are the ESB versions of Artoo and Threepio.

I haven't heard a rumored new figure yet...

Edit: after a little search I see it is coming with a Snowspeeder Luke figure. Awesome!!
