Either way, I'll be seriously looking at whether or not I want to continue collecting at this point.

With prices that steep, I'm sure repack/repaint waves (like this one) are gonna start to fail - seriously, how can Hasbro expect collectors to buy figures they more or less already have, this time for $9+?

Ok, so I went to Target yesterday, and I was completely disgusted by what I saw...

TVC figures for $10.79?! Absurd! I had heard from reports that Target had upped their basic figure prices by a dollar - which should have made TVC $8.99 (the original price in August, and even just a few weeks ago, was $7.99). But now the price has gone up a whole $3.

Is there any way to complain to Hasbro about these rip-off prices? I'm sorry, there is no way an action figure is worth nearly $11 + tax. Sure, I'm a sucker, and I'll probably keep ending up buying from Target, since I really have nowhere else (no TRU, no Walmart), so I'm pretty much screwed.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention SL and TCW went up $1, too.

I'm really disappointed Hasbro left out ankle joints on Anakin and Ahsoka. They finally updated her with ball-jointed elbows, but they went downhill with no ankle joints. Every Ahsoka figure we have so far has ankle joints!

I like the Anakin upgrade a lot, and it's cool he has an extra robotic arm. A smidgen unnecessary, but still cool!

Whoah, that's really an impressive Nom Anor sculpt! I'm really into the EU, but I had never seen this guy before, but the sculpt is just really cool... I think Hasbro could have saved themself the trouble of trying to eventually fit him into those Vintage bubbles by giving him a soft-goods cloak, but whatever...

Aayla is just outright awesome! The Jedi Cloak is generous, really, since we never see her with one in the films, but I think the key points to the figure are the ball-jointed hips.

I really like the 501st Trooper - probably an eventual pegwarmer, but lately (except for the ROTS clone) Hasbro's been doing a good job with clone sculpts. But they just really need to take a break from the clones, it's getting old, and, besides, we see them all the time in the TCW line. 

Wow, I don't usually buy Han figures, but this one just looks so great! The Hoth Han is gonna look pretty lame right next to Bespin Han. Hasbro finally fixed the leg problem by giving him ball-joints!

A question - press release shots of Barriss Offee show her with a soft goods cloak. The displayed version shows her with a plastic cape - and it actually doesn't look half-bad, I actually hope that she comes with the plastic cloak. Has Hasbro said anything about which version will be released?

It would have been cool if maybe some alternate future was shown to Anakin, where he had not turned to the dark side. Becoming a Jedi Master, living happily with Padme, had he not gone into kid-killing psycho and all.

So it'll be a concept armor white Boba Fett. Hmmm. Wonder how different it'll be from the ones we've already gotten?

I thought the same, especially since we already got him in the TAC line.
