I have been working on re-arranging my collection, to make room for both OTC/VOTC stuff, as well as some new Spidey stuff I've gotten lately, and have been getting closer looks at a few things from the Saga line.  One thing in particular is the Trash Compactor sets.  To be honest, I was really excited about picking these up when they came out...and they were tough to find around here...but now, when I look at it, I'm not all that impressed.  The Han figure isn't too bad (if it had better/different articulation, it would be ok)...but pretty much the rest of them aren't that great.  Chewie is a one-pose wonder, Luke has his eyes closed, and Leia's face sculpt (at least on mine) is especially crap-tastic.  Plus, since I took the whole thing apart to pack away for our moving, I still haven't been able to get it all back together quite right (although I haven't taken a lot of time to I guess).  It is a pain to move, since everything basically falls out/apart whenever it is moved at all.  Anyways, I'm not usually one to complain much...but just something I was thinking about...venting.  The set is not as good as I initially had hoped.  I'd still be up for a resculpt of both the Han and Luke Stormtrooper figures because of this set.

Just checked...looks like it is the same one...maybe it has some sort of spiffy packaging for the exclusive or something.

I just saw that as well Jeff, that poster is pretty sweet.  And agreed, the Chewie and R2 look pretty spiffy so far.  I'm really looking forward to what we'll see from Hasbro at Comic-Con.  At least we have confirmation that the ROTJ wave will be there.  Wonder what the Fett-man will look like too.  Thanks for posting that!

Filmforce has an article up talking about the four "lead" children have been cast for the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.  You can check out the details at the linky .

I just ordered Han, Leia, and Obi-Wan at Amazon. Yay!

I've been very tempted to do this as well, and I have actually been surprised that they have stayed "in stock" over there.  I did order a Han from them last week, while ordering some other stuff, but I have held off on the Obi and Leia so far.  I guess I'm afraid of ordering them (and paying a little more, with shipping), and then finding that they aren't nearly as "limited" as we originally thought.  I'm still tempted to order them though, and I know if figures from the next couple waves show up there, I probably will.

Also, forgot to mention earlier, I also picked up the Darth Vader TIE at TRU.  I never had this ship in any form before, so it was a good chance to pick it up (and in some nice packaging).  It is just sitting in the closet in the box for now though, I need some more room for ships (and all of this!)  Good luck to everyone in their searches!

Since this will give us 2 cups per movie, they technically owe us 2 Ep3 cups/figures. How are they going to rehash figures that aren't out yet?

Don't tempt them, there's always (SPOILERS for the very spoiler sensitive):

Vader, 3PO, R2, or Chewie they could fit in there somehow I'm sure.

Well, since it sounds like the OTC (and VOTC) are starting to show up around the country (even here in Nebraska!), I thought it would be nice to see what everyone is finding, buying, or passing on.  What do you have, what do you have left to get this year?  With the massive repacks, I know many will be having a Star Wars figure break here for awhile.

Here's what I've gotten so far:

Vintage Original Trilogy Collection
Han Solo (Amazon.com)

Original Trilogy Collection
Luke Skywalker - Dagobah (Wal-Mart)
Yoda - Dagobah (Wal-Mart)
Obi-Wan Kenobi Spirit - Dagobah (Wal-Mart)
R2-D2 - Dagobah (Wal-Mart)
Han Solo repack (Wal-Mart)

I've also seen a few more OTC repacks, but passed on them.  For now, I'm looking ahead to the rest of the VOTC line (maybe 2 of each, we'll see), the OTC Bespin wave, and repacks such as Bespin Luke, Gamorrean Guard, General Lando, Slave Leia, and possibly Bib Fortuna or the Jawas (their repaint looks pretty good).

[sarcasm] Also...it is good to see that we'll finally have a chance to get that Commtech Han Solo at retail [/sarcasm]
