I also noticed they re-named the figures:

Aayla Secura - Battle of Geonosis "not" Jedi Knight
Barriss Offee - Battle of Geonosis "not" Luminara Unduli's Padawan
Ashla & Jempa - Jedi Temple Training "not" Padawan Jedi 2-Pack
Yoda & Chian - Jedi Temple Training "not" Padawan Lightsaber Training

I know i really like these ones better?

I'm all for repacking figures. It keeps some of the htf figures available to collectors and possible newbies as well as gives completists more collection fat to chew on. Problem is, I fall somewhere in the middle of that fatty mess. :-\ I really like the looks of the Jedi babes on the new cards, that new card is just swell lookin' man. And thanks for pointing out the fact that they changed the titles on these figures, that's pretty cool too.

Yeah I think they look cool, but they just released these on SAGA cards.  I buy 2 of each figure, 1 to open and 1 carded; plus unlimited numbers of army builders to open.  But I draw the line at repackaged figures that physically remain unchanged.  So I'll admire these on the pegs, but won't be buying them.  That same money will undoubtedly go into building some sort of army.

No problem T-Bone, i like these on the new cards too.  I think they are 100X better looking then on the regular starblast blue card. >:(

Here's another option for your carded collection. Wait and see if you like the looks of the old figures on new cards better than the current ones. If you do, then replace the old version with the new version. Trade, sell or do whatever with the one replaced. That way it's not a loss for you.

True - and people like me, who haven't seen any of them on the pegs, can finally get them.  :-*

Can't wait for some Christmas money!  :D
