Agreed - TBOBF was definitely toyetic.  But Hasbro's turnaround time developing figure lines has been pretty slow.  That's largely attributable to LFL holding their assets closely in order to protect against spoilers.  But you have to think that maybe they can figure out a way to release some assets early to Hasbro in order to capitalize on interest in the show with new figures and vice versa.

As for what I'd like to see augment the Throne Room from TBOBF?
-Boba's Gamorrean Guard(s)
-Night Wind assassin
-Trandoshan or Aqualish gang members
-Boba Fett's Rancor with Danny Trejo's Rancor keeper

I'm just not there with the Mods.  Not yet.

To be fair to Hasbro (and I admittedly don't do that often), if it takes roughly 18 months to develop a new toy, and they don't get any character designs ahead of time, then they're actually whipping these out pretty fast.

**** it, I ordered a second one.

Totally agree on the idea that the "perfect project that everyone wants" doesn't exist. I keep seeing the Cantina and Death Star thrown around, but the playsets are never as good as what fans are already making. For example, the Jabba's Palace (Bib's, Boba's, whatever) is a cool piece, but I have no intention of keeping it, other than the figure, props and throne (so if anyone wants the walls for cheap, let me know). Ditto with the Cantina. I would definitely buy it for the Tonnika Sisters if they were included, but would sell it off since I don't think I'd like it as much as the one I built. It certainly wouldn't have lights.

A Death Star playset always seemed ridiculous to me. It would always look like a big toy, and would never really capture the scale of the thing. I was born in '76, so I'm not a young fan rolling his eyes about the OT by any means.

Ed, one thing I have to ask is why you're choosing to wait until the tiers are unlocked before you back. If everyone does that, then the tiers don't get unlocked. It makes no sense and it's counterintuitive. Obviously it's your choice, but I'm just trying to follow the logic there.

Thanks! I grabbed Hera, Morgan and 2 HK droids.

I'm pretty excited about the reveals overall. I know it's kind of a bummer that Jango is deluxe, but I'm hoping he comes with the pilot head, regular head, helmet head and both jetpacks. I'd like to one-and-done Jango, and the existing figure we have for him is really showing its age.

Very happy to hear about Leia...so important that we're getting her, and that they acknowledged the MakeTheMains campaign. Let's hope ANH Han and Luke aren't far behind.

I'm so pleased with the DS2 Vader, and the ANH Vader we have is pretty crappy, so with this new ANH Vader I think we can pretty much say we have all the Vaders accounted for. The battle damaged Kenobi Vader will be a good addition, even though he's scene specific...not sure there are any others aside from this except for Anakin-Vader from the duel on Mustafar, but that can be double-dipped with a new ROTS Anakin.

I really like the way that figure looks. Can't wait for more of the official solicitation pics!

I feel like the hourly rate has jumped up a bit over the past week or so, but maybe I'm just paying more attention.

When this thing arrives my wife is going to roll her eyes at me so bad they're going to get stuck facing her brain.

This is exactly what my experience will be.
