-More "set-pieces" as accessories... Small bits, nothing huge, just little stuff really. Dropping stands and "holographic minis" for something the character USES and is from his/her scene. Not all figures need this too btw, just certain ones, but I'd prefer this stuff sporatically than stands and minis all the time... I don't know about you.
-Re-releases use only the best of the best, and Hasbro tries to change things up and make it appealing for collectors too... If they're going to be out in DROVES like the H&V collection has been, I think then that the figures need to appeal to more than people who just missed out in 2005... The collector needs incentive to buy here too so we're not running into the problems with H&V we're seeing. Smart choices and paint variances where it would "help".
try to kee optomistic for upcoming years on stuff, and I really hope things improve back to levels like 2005. I really was loving Hasbro's work for MOST of 2005... They trailed off towards the end some (Antilles comes to mind as them dropping the ball badly), but at the same time 2005 had amazing stuff throughout most of it... Evne the waves leading INTO it had really good stuff for the most part (Cantina Wave still goes down as one of the greatest single waves of basic figures to me).

Nice list. Pure Poetry.
You are dead on. More "set-pieces" as accessories is the reason why I bought that "new" Bespin Vader. Just for the boxes. The Figure will become a designated pilot for the new Starfighter when it hits, thats how I justified it. The background cache really bring the world and diorams alive. The Euro pit droid packs had really cool boxes and junk, Teemo had that really cool pod engine (which looks great in the Sandcrawler). I wish Hasbro would give us that.
And repaint where it counts is right: Saga Grevious - Loved it they should make that the norm for upgrading. Even the Boba with the VOTC legs and better paint job was a worthy rehash.
I also agree with the Tatooine wave being my favorite this year, very solid. I am optimistic with the 30th coming this should give Hasbro incentive to justify spending on new tooling in regards to articulation and acessories.
This can go on forever but I had to ask...........

Word_Weaver:
Add make those Clone packs variants and have the most seen ones be straight white packs, and i'm ALL over that plan right there. :o
Same could be said with an All White Votch Stormie too I suppose.
