Well, I'm one of those rare collectors who would buy this regardless of price, so while I hope it's in the $30 - $35 price range, I'm excited to see this and would gladly add it to my collection.

I am aware that I'm not a typical collector so I definitely see everyone's point.

I just hope that this piece does well since a failure on a piece like this would prevent a Funeral Procession Padme from ever being made - which is something else I would one day like to add to my collection.

A lot of people are pointing at the Lars homestead set as a great example of an Epic Fail on the part of Hasbro. I would tend to agree. But ask yourself this: If the Owen and Beru figures were brand new, sculpted and articulated by today's standards, does the set still suck? Perhaps, but to me a change like that would have made the set a million times better.

I think Hasbro needs to realize that sets fail sometimes because of price, but they also fail because of decisions made during the development process. I'm sure the idea of new Owen and Beru figures was bounced around during the development of the Lars Homestead set, just as I'm sure they were nixed so as to maximize the profit margin on the set. But we all see how far that got them...

I think I'm going to have to cut back from three sets of these (1 to keep MIB and two to open) to just two sets (1 to keep MIB and 1 to open). If each set had been $50 plus tax as opposed to $85 plux tax, picking up three sets to me would have been no big deal, but since the price is almost double that, it's just not worth it since Hasbro has shown us time and again that items do indeed get re-released.

So I'm going to be happy with my lone Dark Trooper and one day, I'm sure this sculpt will see the light of day when Hasbro re-releases it in a B-A-D box set or a Comic 2-pack or whatever...

I got all 12 of the Crystal Skeletons I've been waiting for today!!!   

I'm very happy to finally have this figure!!

Well, it's not just over on the RS boards, it's on a couple of Indy collector/fan site boards as well...

These are custom figures, nothing more.

Oh well....

A mere cost savings tactic. We'll get OWK, Anakin and Rex in Cold Weather Gear on individual cards.

Yeah - except that those Obi-Wan and Anakin figures won't fit in the speeder!

Last year didn't Hasbro add things to their displays as the weekend went on? I am a tad bit confused that they didn't have an Indy slide or two at the end of the Star Wars slide deck, but perhaps they wanted to keep it Star Wars-only?

I'm definitely going to be getting multiples of the Dark Trooper and the Spacetrooper! I'm also happy that we're getting Jaina and Jacen finally.

I'll gladly add the Shaak Ti figure to my Force Unleashed shelf.

Kinda weird how they didn't use this as an opportunity to give us Proxy by way of the B-A-D.
