What in there do you not already have?  Help me if you can, I'd like to be excited about this set too, if possible.

Stuff I don't have -
 - Vintage Hoth Han:  The Blue Coat repaint is enough for me just from nostalgia for the Kenner version
 - Snowspeeder Luke: As Jayson pointed out, it's a new kitbash (see pics above)
 - Repainted Derlin:  Yeah, it's a repaint but it works for me for a generic Rebel Officer

To me, that stuff is "new" since it's different enough from the original release.  I realize that my definition of "new" might not be the same as everyone elses, so that's why it's in quotes in my post.

I'm also not sure on the AT-ST Pilot/Veers there either.  Could be a Veers repack or it could be the AT-ST Driver that was rumored for the Endor Set, and that is indeed the AT-ST Han with a new head. 

So, that's 3-4 figures plus the 3 Snowtroopers which are always welcome army builders.  That will be enough for me to buy the set, sell the AT-ST and Turret and then be happy.  Of course, I bought the $17 Grievous, so I'm a sucker anyway.   

Very cool to see the finished product. (and thanks to our source all those weeks ago )

So $50-$60 probably isn't remotely unreasonable if the item is in fact a "Black Friday" (or thereabouts) exclusive this year.

Yeah, I can see this set being the Christmas draw similar to the shuttle was last year. 

I think it has enough "new" to draw me in, despite the fact that I already have the turret and the AT-ST.

There's actually not a lot left to do with the OT. 

Maybe not a lot stuff left, but still a few things I'd like to see:

- Imperial Landing Craft (mini-shuttle)
- Lars Family Landspeeder
- new/old Cloud Car
- new/old Rebel Transport
- Jabba's Sail Barge

NewForce has updated to say they will indeed be getting 100% of the pre-order cases for Wave 6 next week.   

That's just crazy, I can't remember the last time that 3 different waves fell on top of each other so close like this...

Holy crap... From NewForce's Front Page: 

SW Wave 4 update
September 17, 2007 | 12:02 PM | newforce1

The balance of our unfilled wave 4 order with Hasbro was officially canceled today. We are unable to fill any other preorders that are still open on wave 4. We do have Legends cases in route to us, that should fill this week (all preorders). I also heard wave 6 is starting to ship to retailers.

If Wave 6 is indeed on it's way, that is friggin' crazy.   

Hasbro is not done with the Vintage line for good.

All they have confirmed is that 2008 will be like 2005 in that they will be doing the Evolution sets instead of a "Vintage" wave.

From Q&A sessions over the last few weeks:

"We like the Vintage figures, and can say for certain only that there will be more vintage at some point but don't have any details... We just need to figure out where it makes sense to plan for the next wave when we have an opportunity."

"We don't have any concrete answers yet on the future of Vintage... There is no set date for when we'll see the next wave - right now, Evolutions is our premium-format focus for next year."

"There will not be another vintage-style line in 2008, because we are dedicating those resources and tool budget toward developing the Evolutions reintroduction. We certainly hope to pick up vintage further down the road, and the polls we conducted recently have informed our thinking for when we do bring it back out."

What's next at bat?

Next Wave of 2-Packs:
- Barada & Weequay Skiff Guard
- Grand Moff Tarkin & Death Star Officer (Black Uniform)
- Endor Rebel Trooper & Princess Leia (Endor)
- Luke Skywalker/Yoda (Dagobah) & Obi-Wan Kenobi (Spirit)

Cinema Scenes:
- Cantina Band (Wal-Mart Exclusive)
- Cantina Encounter (Wal-Mart Exclusive)
- X-Wing Assault on the Death Star (Target Exclusive)
- Jabba's Palace (Target Exclusive)

Wal-Mart sets were planned for around October, the Target ones are planned for around November...

Nice. I still need to pull the trigger on the Collector Club Box Set. DAMN YOU BBTS! 

Have I mentioned how cool the Dagobah Luke/Yoda is?
