I don't think many people around here would say that.

got to count Yak Face, RL C-3PO, and the 2 R2's they haven't made yet) done in this "vintage" style. Do figures like Barada, Prune Face, and Rancor Keeper really need this treatment? And what about the figures like the AT-AT Driver who are already of this quality, do they just get re-carded? It's a slippery slope with this "vintage" line, the selection is limited for them to truly gain a profit from re-doing actual vintage figures and branding any post-1995 figure OT or PT as "vintage" is just lame.
THIS is why I want to see an end to the "vintage" line. It's a nice novelty, but it's starting to stretch thin in terms of selection - I question putting Bossk and IG-88 (though it's an awesome figure) in this year's lineup - as well as putting the additional dents in our wallet when they have an increased field of competition from within their own brand and elsewhere. They know we'll buy this crap (and I'm every bit as guilty as everyone else for that) so they see no need to put the efforts elsewhere, i.e. SA or near-SA figures in the "basic" line, but it's damn annoying.
