I do not have the figure in front of me to compare to but did they reuse the fire speeder pilot legs on the Naboo mechanic?

I feel sorry for carded collectors as well, as many of these figures do look pretty nice on the 2006 cardbacks.  I especially like the 3PO on Tantive, I might even pick that one up if I see it.  It would look better if that Mustafar base was better hidden (or not included).  Some of the Heroes and Villains stuff is starting to stack up around here to some extent though, and I hope Hasbro isn't overdoing it with these.  If they come out with 3 (or more) assortments of this, they're basically re-releasing half of last year's line when you consider what's already in the regular TSC waves.  Its nice that some of the tougher figs are out there again, and - like I said - the cardbacks look nice, but I just have nightmares of not finding Tatooine/Endor figures while staring at pegs of Yodas, Anakins, etc.  They may be a seperate item in systems, but around here they're all put on the same pegs.  Particularly at Wal-Mart - whose basic figures section for SW is almost hidden amongst the rest of the aisle.  Anyways, I might pick up a few of these, but I just hope they don't overdo it.  It would have been nice to see Evolutions Anakin packed in these though, if they're going to do them.

H&V sales in Chicagoland seem somewhat  brisk and fortunatly the Bugs and Yodas are slowly going away but I agree, I do not know how much longer Hasbro should keep re-releasing half of last year's line. Future asst are in jeapordy. The only remnats I find are H&V and the New Hans / Vader.

Evo anakin would be a great figure to re release I would surley buy 2 more. In fact if they repacked all the Evolutions figure I would gladly buy again.
What I really do not get is why they repack Yoda and Slashing Anakin, Pilot Obi, and the Emporer again when they are currently out there in other asst and Battle packs. How about a the standard Battle Droid, they never warmed the pegs at least in the states I lived in: NJ, CA and IL.

I am 3 shy from completeing the UGH set. Why not re-release those. I need Han, Boba and Vader.

As I said earlier, I am a little dissapointed this year's turnout. My expectations were too high i suppose. For me these dry down times are good to buy the few remaining past items I missed on Ebay.

He will be good for making custom background scrubs...................a greedo head will look great on that body.

This Battle pack is a bit thin, for $25

I hope there is the rumored Vulture droid or better yet 2 of those Octopus Droid laser things as seen in the CW and in the background at Ki-Adi-Mundis death in ROTS on Mygeeto.

I would tend to agree.
It may come with Vinatge style X-Wing Luke and R2. The first go round was $29.99 with R2 and Dagobah gear. I would hope they are not pulling another Gunship price on us. The first Saga Xwing was a sweet deal. For those of you who missed it take advantage this go around.

Sratch the R2, TRU will gauge our wallets.....they want a better margins on the ship.

I take back what I said, this is a truly kick ass exclusive. I am glad i ordered it the first day they offered it the improvements are stellar.. If the Endor AT-AT is just as cool I will not bat an eyelash at the price.
I guess I can customize my old TRU X-Wing.

Darth Broem I am with you, I am not bothered by toy scale being a little off. You can only go so far at retail and

Any 70's type simian will do.
Did you ever notice that the 70's were obsessed with monkeys?
BJ and the Bandit, Bigfoot, Bionic bigfoot, Smokey and the Bandit, Chewbacca, Planet of the Apes, 70's Kong, Bigfoot and Wildboy.

Monkeys really do make everything more fun!

Also it was "BJ and the Bear" get your monkey references straight!

Dont get your panties in a Banana bunch.

The references may have been a little confused but my point still came across:
70's = Monkey Flicks.   Monkeys = Fun.

So, if I offended any other rabid BJ and the Bear fans my humble apologies.

I do... I think if they insist on doing Hero/Villian waves, then why not an army builder wave or two?

My projected top 5:
Ice Cream Maker Guy
Yarna (BLECH!!)
Bastila Shan
Darth Malak
Quinlan Vos

If that really is the top 5, my vote goes to Quinlan Vos, no questions asked.

I would also add SA Darth Maul to the not getting made list. We got one already and he is great.

I agree with your top 5 most likely to see plastic, good job!
