Looks really neat to me...  I know some were disappointed with this, but to me it's even cooler than last years.  Maybe I'm just happy it's something "realistic" styled and somewhat new?  Either way, I like it.

Ditto!

I still think the Vintage line is the best of the best in terms of the new figures sculpt/details/articulation. Value is definitley not there like Legacy and previous years offering. It's a sign of the times which a lot of it is out of Hasbro's control.

What is in Hasbro's control are the case packs, Wave 7 is a great example of this. They are reminding me of Mattel when it came to the 2002 Master of the Universe line that eventually sank it. I do not think SW will be sunk but the smaller peg space for Vintage is discouraging. (I do think it will slightly increase after the Summer Movie Blitz and the Blue Ray ramp up). There are so many avoidable mistakes that have been made it's frustrating to see. This cases assortment is really annoying with the peg rotting carry forward of the two Vintage culprits the Sandtrooper & White Clone, the only two figures besides Dengar and 4- Lom that you can find in my area. (The occasional CC Pilot still rots and certain locations.) At this point I would be thrilled to see a Wooof as so many are reporting. Gammoreans, Extra Fleet troopers,, extra EP2 Clones, Senate Duel Palps, Magna Guards, AT-RT drivers are clearly better choices to carry forward in Wave 7. I get Luke, Boba and Jango while I would love to see others instead I do not mind them as they are good sellers.

I wish this wave would show up already I am jonsing for some new figures.

I am definitley in on both sets, the Stormtroopers are actually decent. I like the two previous sets better than these but these are still nice additions. I am dying to see this scale Starspeeder.....

Endor Han could, feasibly, be the Battlepack version too, with a coat, on a card...  It had a better headsculpt as I recall?  Not so pin-heady, and the likeness seemed better. 

If you look at the Blue Ray DVD set pack they are indeed using the superior BP Endor Han with the better head sculpt, they just added the coat back so I think this will be the case for the single carded version. I hope that is the case as I would love to update the 2006 carded one on my wall that has the better sculpt.

I love this figure! Much better than the stupid Rocket Firing Fett. When can we mail away for this? I have a lot of UPC's ready to be sent away. I think I am going to try what many others did over at scum and mail one big check and get a case of these. Guys received whole cases that ensured minty product.

Maybe just maybe Han's will have a different belly to stuff Luke in. What would be sweet if that set included a battle damaged Luke along with the revises TT and Han. After all it was Han'sthat got split open. Lukes was for lunch.

Despite having 3 cases on preorder I bit on a Han, i could not resist he looks better than I thought. I wanted several other figures and grabbed him along with x2 Barris's and others for some custom work.

On a unrelated side note I am also upgrading my EP3 Jedi Starfighters with real droids so I needed a Kit astro from Tunghori. The New Kit can actually fit in a EP3 Starfighter. I gave him Anakins Green post Darkside.

My first store purchase in a very long time:
x3 EP2 Clonetroopers (51 and counting...)
x1 Corrected Stormie (Much better!)

I tore apart my Dagger squadron version to swap the cockpits on the POTJ one. At least this will make it official. I kind of regret it now but I am happy to get this updated! go K-mart! Their exclusives have no been too shabby lately.

My only disappointment it that this is not assorted with a Han version. I hope it is also shown. I love this!!!!
This is one of my top rated wants, I cannot wait to see what else is coming this year!

No problem. Just pm me a reminder. They get released June 3rd when the ride opens. I wouldn't worry about them selling out. Disney is still selling the boarding party set and jedi training sets so these will be around all summer.

Thanks my friend! I really appreciate it! (Those other two sets were great, I am surprised they are still there)

Master_Phruby, thanks for the updates and confirmation on the big Starspeeder. I am in on both sets and of course that BMF Speeder when they hit.

If at all possible, if you can help me with these like before when they hit I will be sure to compensate you for the bounty (and send payment prior.) Help Master_Phruby, you are my only hope...outside of feebay.

224
And I kinda disagree I would like to see some new.

I am with you that's why this is a double pass for me. I will get the Hoth set as I want an extra Hoth Leia to dedicate toe the BMF. I do not mind an 11th Beardless Rebel and I got rid of my 21-B a long time ago so I can use him as a temp until a new one is made.

So many wasted opportunities to make new product without new tooling. Hasbro is losing my potential business yet again.

If it's true I actually do not mind this not being a 100% new tool as it would render the 3 I have obsolete. I spent time and money upgrading my older version with the neer canons and windows from the TAC version. I really like my current fleet especially the OTC version. If this was 100% new I would want the Holiday Special double cockpit version.

Having a working droid socket and an upgraded cockpit with detailed controls is welcome. I hope I can buy extras of it to further upgrade my older ones further. Keep on bringing more OT products, I am really bored of prequel era stuff!
