These sets stagnate in my area, and the sets with lightsaber-wielding characters sell a little more, no doubt to kids. I'm surprised that with the mixed reaction to these sets that Hasbro keeps cranking them out. They're a smart idea, but the figures aren't new enough to sell easily.

Man, Hasbro finally makes Aurra Sing and Ric Olie, and they're limited to Walmart?! This is just great. I have absolutely no Walmarts within 2 hours driving distance away from me.

I think the nostalgia of the packaging has swayed a lot of folks, more than the toys themselves. 

That's absolutely true. If this were any other line besides TVC, it probably would have been canceled and rebooted a long time ago because of poor sales due to distribution problems.

I'm pretty excited for the continuation of the Nightsisters arc. It'll no doubt go out with a bang if Savage's story ends this season. Which I'm hoping it won't. Maybe he has a climatic face-off with Ahsoka as the series finale?

I'm stunned that the panel at SDCC didn't include a new trailer, like last year's! Oh well, the new season is approaching, anyway. 

The little card-thing in front of Ponda Baba at SDCC indicates August or September, I think. I would imagine the rest of this wave hits in between that time frame. 

Ralph Fiennes' interpretation of Voldemort was beyond words. He definitely is one bad-ass villain. With Vader you see a tragic villain and you feel sympathy with him, but you just wanna hate Voldemort. And to top it all of there's many in-depth scenes in the film where see Voldemort at his emotional weakest. You hardly ever see a villain in a movie like this, I thought it was so interesting to see it.

I saw the film twice and I was both awe-struck in many ways and let down in a few ways, as I thought some of the action sequences were lacking. To say that the series went out with a bang is definitely true. I was definitely an emotion wreck that the series was over, more so than when ROTS came out. I grew up with the Prequel Trilogy only, but I grew up with the entire Harry Potter film franchise.   

 The fact that there's already a new packaging sample ready to be used around February when the film is re-released doesn't exactly bode well for TVC. Hasbro said TVC would last until at least 2012. I would think that the last TVC wave hits around late December/early January 2012 and then the line get rebooted in late January/early February.
