Man, I wish they would go back to two figures per new character per case. Good question Adam, I miss the Saga2/TAC case ratios.

Overall from the 5 sets of questions I have read I like the answers given. (As long as Hasbro delivers on them.)

Jeff, I did not realize we have be given him 5 years straight. Soon to be 6 years straight. Well, this should be the definitive Jedi Luke based on the new Vintage Luke tool. He has a cloak in the scene so we should get that, I just hope they go a sculpted route on the tunic robes so I can check that off of my want list.


And No Glove for this scene.

WORD!

Do they revoke your Q&A Card if you ask about their terrible distrobution?

Because I can figure out any other reason why no one is asking the only question that matters....

Jedinews did but in a different way. The answer they got is somewhat encouraging:

2) With new figures in both The Vintage Collection and The Clone Wars only shipping one per case it is getting frustratingly hard to get each and every new figure. Surely it would make sense to pack all new figures two per case therefore ensuring that more people get access to these new figures and then leaving the remaining slots in the cases for the more popular figures from previous waves? It seems brick and mortar shops are ordering fewer cases and by making this switch you'll allow a greater number of collectors and kids to get the new figures they want and stop the problems we're currently encountering whereby all we're finding at retail are huge quantities of Clone Troopers and Sandtroopers (that's probably stopping the retailers from ordering more product - it’s seems like a vicious circle!).

We are continually optimizing our ratios in order to maximize the most sought after figures in each case pack. Beginning in fall 2011 and continuing into 2012 you will see this strategy in action on a more regular basis.

It's about time we are getting some new news to talk about besides leaks. This hobby is in somewhat rough waters right now and needs some "juice".

I cannot say I am shedding a tear over not getting a old guy missing a leg in a floating lark who really added nothing to the story (Sorry  but yes I am a hater towards Cliegg I would put the queen before him.). Podracer fans should be happy with Ben finally coming. I am very happy with the Vintage Tarkin, he desperately needs an updated figure!

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: Republic Artillery? Hells Yeah!
« on: May 25, 2011, 02:53 PM »
I am really into this one. I have two of these on preorder, I really dig the artillery aspect. This is the kind of thing the line is missing, I would love to see a Death Star Cannon eventually....

I was pleasantly surprised with Catra, I liked her more than I thought I would. My question is whats ups with the uber rubbery parts. He hand is really soft, so soft it feels like the wrist peg will snap. Also the weapons rack halberd(Long axe from Scareglow) has the same kind of super soft plastic. I hope this does no become the new norm.

I am really looking forward to the Battlefield Teela next month. The Faceless one is kind of meh to me but the more I look at him a Skeletor head will look great on that body.....

Based on what Jeff brought up I will guess 2012 will be Final Jedi Duel Luke with the flap down sculpted on a new torso.

I agree with Brian on the Landspeeder, it's really solid one of the best in the line ever. Unless they add some new twist to this release I am not sure I will get this. But then again that box may be too nice to pass on. The current crop of vehicle decos are severely lacking when compared to previous releases. The 30th TAC was the pinnacle of vehicle deco, just look a the V-Wing and Droid Tank.

I am actually happy it's not a 100% new tool that would render the previous versions obsolete. I will buy a couple of these to upgrade the cockpits and other parts on my previous ones. It's nice to see the return of the droid socket!
Great package too! Demand for Ackbar will be through the roof when this hits! ;)

As cool as the ship is...I wouldn't mind getting those muppet figures!

Yeah, I am in on the two sets, the Starspeeder but Sam the Eagle as a Jedi just might be impassable.

Looks real to me, including the TRU exclusive sticker. Australia gets everything first so I'm not sure everyone is doubting this. I wish the POTF2 Nien Numb was a resculpted one. I like it!

Well, I've got tickets for preview rides at Disneyland this wednesday and saturday. Wednesday is looking a bit iffy but definately saturday I'll brave the two hour long preview line. I'll check the star trader for the figures. If you havn't got money in, please do so now.

Hi MP, Noted, I sent a PM LMK how much and where to send the money. I really appreciate the help!

I have been looking for the short neck Weequay but I think I may hit eBay because I am sick of the clogged or empty pegs. I am surprised the only carry forward of this wave is the EP2 Clone in the future cases. I figured Luke and the AT-RT driver would be carried forward but thus far they are not. Get them while you can.

I've only done it at Target, where each line has a generic DCPI so it's easy to get away with.

Correct! I buy a lot of figures at Target. I sell most of the figures in forums but the return method makes it quick and painless to get rid of the repacks.

I always and just ordered a lot from there but man you are better off buying the case and returning the extras in place of army builders to brick and motor stores than buying singles.
