Was the Stormtrooper really that hard to find for some people?  I wish I had known.  I bought two, but saw them sitting many times.  Can't wait to see better shots of these.

These lists all look good, but what I really want is a Clone In Training.  A SA figure of the clone in the red outfit worn on Kamino.

While I have yet to see these, I did pick up the first wave last week.  Am I the only one who is hugely relieved to actually see these things so soon in the new year?  I was worried we'd have another post-movie year drought like in 2003.  That was the crappiest six months of my entire collecting carreer.

I'm glad that Hasbro and retailers are getting this new stuff out so fast. They know that they've got a good fan base and they're not going to let it go.  It's a great way to start the year.

It's funny, usually TRU is the last to get new stuff, but they are the only place that I've seen the new SAGA figures.  I'd like to be a bigger fan of the store becuase I grew up going to TRU and bought some of my earliest Star Wars (Vinatge) figure there.  But the chain doesn't seem to be very with it.  To me, they lost the plot back when they got rid of the nice, organized isles, and replaced them with mazes.

Yeah, I believe that when the animated series hits, it will have its own line of figures that will represent the design of the show.

I cancelled my Anakin and Luke today.  I can't stand Sideshow as a company.  Hasbro may be clueless, but this company is downright foolish.  It bums me out too.  For a long time I've waited for affordable, nice looking 12" figures.  Now that they're here, they're a pain in the can to get.  Screw 'em.  I just saved tons of money over the next few years.

Just curious, how would everyone feel about Hasbro making an "Animated Clone Wars" wave within The Sga Collection?  Personally, I'd be all for it.  These would be in the animated style, not movie style figures of animated characters. To me, it would be no different than having figures from comic books and video games in the mix.

I think that there are so many cool figures, that this could be done often.  While I know were getting a "movie style" Muftak Jedi, I would really love a cartoon style one.  Figs like Snow Bunny Padme, Seasee Tiin in Armor, and Grevious' Body Guards would make great figures.  Not to mention Obi-Wan and Anakin in their proper Season 2 Jedi gear with the small bits of armour. Any thoughts?  It's been dead around here...
