Old Legends wasn't all bad. I bought the hell out of Snowtroopers and the good red Battle Droid 2-packs. If they'd made the VOTC stormtrooper available sooner, might have bought the hell out of him, too. Picked up some clones, too, now and then.

Since Hasbro is saying Black Line 3 3/4" will be all new, no reissues (I think they wrote themselves a check they cannot cash), where will we see figures we wanted to see again? Imperial Royal Guard? Are they gonna sculpt a new one from ground up? Or will a new head consitute "all new"? (Maybe they can put the old salt shaker in the new Legends line)

The lowered articulation on the figures sucks only from the standpoint that they're really sub-par quality.  I don't need SA on everything, but better than that is possible even for $6 I think... at least waist joints and skirt pieces, but whatever really. 

I agree about waists. Disagree about skirt pieces. They want the jedi to be able to sit in the vehicles. Skirt pieces hinder that unless they are cloth, which, IIRC, we've been told is more expensive than plastic.

I'm not sure these are finished sculpts. I'd hope the figures have ball jointed necks. Though I can see why if they did not, since kids rip the heads off and lose them, then complain about it because kids are stupid.

Meijer has vintage (and other lines) for $8 until March. They had the Lost Line look wave in. Maybe a store fluke, maybe not. I don't check often enough to tell. I know when I got there, all the sandtroopers were gone...not sure I've ever seen it.

It's more confusing. Jedi Temple Archives was told the waves are coming to the US and should be in stores soon.

Petty nitpick: they couldn't even get those Bespin Guards' hats to look right for the box photo. In fact, Lobot and Fett appear bewildered by them.

I already forgot what the R2-D2 was supposed to be. Does the dome pop off and Kenny Baker is inside?

I'm reading the focus will be movies only. EU gets thrown under the bus despite the insane prices EU figure go for on the aftermarket. I guess Mara Jade makes the cut because they know there would be trouble if fan's choice got shafted.

So much for realistic Clone Wars characters,  folks are saying that maybe what they had planned will make it into Legends/Mission Packs (capt rex) , but how will they still have articulation?

Sounds like it includes Vader, Operating Table and some other figures.  I'm also not sure if this is really a TVC item or if it's a cheapy Legends item... I'll just put it here for now (Vintage) and move it later if needed.

It's Vader, Emperor, FX-6, Shocktrooper and table.

The hasbro dio photo showed Chopper droid, not FX-6.
