Yep, very nice.  I especially like the Death Star Trooper.

 

Leave it to Dressel!

I would like to see this figure made too.  Perhaps in a 2-pk with a regular sized Jawa.  Or some cool droid.

 

I picked up a yellow Clone Trooper 3-pack on Friday at TRU.  It's only the second time I've spotted a Clone Trooper 3-pack.  

Must suck.  

Since my job requires quite a bit of travel, I get to hit quite a bit of retailers between my appointments.  So, I have seen on the Clone pks each kind the following number of times:

White - 5 times, have 5 sets

Yellow - 6 or 7 times, have 2 sets

Blue - 4-5 times, have 2 sets

Green - 4 times, have 2 sets

Red - 2 times, have 0 sets

I've seen a great distribution of these at Target, TRU and Kmart.  Very cool to see them that much, but would be even better if they had limited the production of the Launcher sets to make more of these, especially the white set.

Luckily, there is not one item that is on the retail market other than the new A-Wing that I don't currently have.  Next up is the Elan/Obi Wan wave.

 

This looks like a really cool list to me, I hope it holds up to be true.  I don't see a problem with that many Lukes, he seems to sell pretty well still.  Besides, they are all desperately needed versions, POTJ totally disregarded Luke figures to the point that it made me sick.

I'm sure we'll see another Vader come out in 2004 too, perhaps an Ultra version with his meditation chamber.

 

What are some more ideas that you all have regarding some more new ULTRA figures?  Here's a few to start, but I'm sure you all can come up with more ideas than this... but the rule is gonna be that we can each only come up with one item from each movie, that way everyone has a fair chance to come up with a new idea  Also, it might be an interesting twist if some of them came with variations; ie different figures to make for variety, especially for those that may come with army-builders.

Ok, for starters:

TPM - Wookie senator w/ Senate Pod (variation with other senators)

AOTC - ragged Shmi w/ Tusken Hut (no variation)

ANH - all new Death Star Trooper w/ circular Death Star control center (variation w/ new Death Star Gunner)

ESB - captured Han Solo (no jacket) with Bespin torture rack and new Ugnaught (no variation)

ROTJ - Crix Madine w/ holo Endor display and little Death Star that attaches to it (no variation)

 

Dressel, with that loose Clone deal we are doing, I think I can hook you up with a couple of carded Clone 3-pks.  I'll PM you again soon at rebelscum.

 

The more I indulge into this topic, the more I like it.  There really are some spectacular possibilities for this line as far as creativity, as long as they don't Batman-tize it.  Good analogy there Nicklab.

And Lando, you have some great ideas there too for figures.  As do you, Mainland05.

What I would really like to see them do is release a few more background characters.  It seems that all the regular carded figures are main charactes, does it not?

And of course an AT-TE, giant Spider Droid too.  And a Spider Tank would be a cool addition to the line as well!

 

Well, I don't necessarily think that this is a bad line of Star Wars figures.  I just think they screwed up with the first wave by only including 3 figures... now 6 figures would have been awesome, with two of each figure per case.  In other words, Anakin and Yoda wouldn't be warming pegs so much if there were less of them to go around, and especially if there were other characters in the mix to start things off (Assaj Ventress, Durge, Sae Sae Tiin, etc).  

As things stand, I think this line still has loads of potential.  The 3-pks have been a success.  They sell well everywhere in the St. Louis area, with the exception of a few Droid Launchers.  The vehicles are cool too, every single kind seems to be selling extremely well.    

Now if they do continue the non-animated line even further, here's a few suggestions for figures:

- Count Dooku
- Red Battle Droid
- Padme Amidala
- Aayla Secura
- Seperatist Mercenary

And of course a few more multi-pks

- Republic Senators pk
- Jedi pk version 2
- White Clones (all standing)
- OOM-9 w/ 2 Battle Droids

Aw what the hell, vehicles too

- AT-TE
- Giant Spider Droid

That being said though, yes, this line could definitely hurt the SAGA line if Hasbro isn't v-e-r-y careful.
