I always regretted not getting into the Clone Wars keys, so now that they are going to be making OT characters, I might jump on board with these from the start.  How impossible is it to be able to order and/or keep up with these, general?

If you start from the beginning, you should be ok.  It might be a bit tougher to get any convention exclusives (C4, SDCC) but finding someone to grab it for you shouldn't be too difficult.  Don't be like me and try to catch up on older stuff - I just paid over $100 for Sidious.  A G note for a piece of cardboard.   ::) It's tough having an addiction.

I so missed on the Sidious. But no way I can pay $100 for it. Sucks cause I only do Sith too.  :P

I just got my Fisto.  I like how they distorted the Star Wars, like it was under water.

R2-D2 and C-3PO character keys

Sweet. 

Done.  Contemplating unloading the Clone Wars stuff now though and just going OT, because all I have left to track down is the big stuff from CW. 

Who has the slave Leia for sale?

Leia isn't for sale yet, she's an exclusive to the NY Comic Con later this month but will also be on sale through Acme directly on the same date.  Edition size of 1000 pieces.

Technically, R2 and 3PO are part of the Clone Wars line (according to Morly, who works for Acme, over at scum).  Although they would fit in just as nicely with the OT ones.

Down to the three heavy hitters - Yoda, Grievous and Obi Wan - and I'll be caught up.  Yoda is going for mad money right now and I'll probably never have him.  I'm kind of hoping there's an OT Yoda coming.

Just re-reading this.  Obviously it's a mistake and should have read a C note, but if I ever pay $1000 for one of these, someone please shoot me.

Thanks for the info.  I'm in the same boat, doubtful I'd spring for Yoda (and frankly for Grievous too).  I'll call R2 and 3PO OT though for now.
