Hey, what a fun thread idea.....
Before I give my responses, a couple of comments about my collecting style:
I always army-build in even numbers (whenever possible - I only ever found one Gree and one Kashyyk scout so far...) for display, diorama and photonovel purposes. Having just one guard or troop around doesn't make any sense.
I usually top out at four of a kind. Anything else is superfluous for my needs, but, somehow I did end up with six Utapau clones.
For the past few years, I have also been hoarding figures like a pack rat for customizing purposes - even though I barely ever actually make any customs and haven't done anything in the past year.
I'm sure I'll buy a few extras this year for fodder, but odds are I'll never get around to using 'em....sigh.
Oh, and I never, EVER collect carded figures. They're toys, damnit! Not museum pieces. An unplayed with toy is a useless object.
Wave 1
Galactic Marine - 2 to 4 depending on availability and money at the time
Mustafar Lava Miner - None. How boring.
R2-D2 - None. I ditched all my extra R2's a few months ago. No need.
Obi-Wan Kenobi - None. ROTS version is fine.
Mace Windu - Is this the promised SA version? 1 if yes.
Airborne Trooper - probably 2
Super Battle Droid - 2
Concept Stormtrooper - None.
Wave 2 -
Rebel Honor Guard - 2 to 4 depending on avail & money. Maybe for customizing.
Han Solo - None.
Luke Skywalker - One. Possibly an extra for customizing, looks like a good genric torso.
Biggs Darklighter Pilot - 1
Death Star Trooper - 2 to 4. Maybe extras for customizing, see above.
Concept Boba Fett - None. Don't care about concept figures.
Wave 3 -
Biggs Darklighter Academy - Two. Definite custom potential here.
Darth Vader - None. Ditched extra Vaders, too. No need for more.
Luke Skywalker - Is this the vaporator one? Definitely one. Can't wait!
Jawa & LIN Droid - One. Love the droid! But I have enough other Jawas.
Stormtrooper - 4 to 6 depending on availability and money. Need a big Imperial army!
Concept Chewbacca - Possibly one. Only concept fig I'll even consider.
Elis Helrot - One for the cantina section! Figure itself is so-so.
Wave 4 -
M'iiyoom Onith - One, possibly more for customs, looks like a good generic body.
Boba Fett (Animated Debut) - None. Have enough Fetts, no need for Toon version.
Luke Jedi - Probably 1 if soft goods are removable. They look yucky!
CZ-4 - One.
Umpass-Stay - One for customs only.
Concept Darth Vader - None.
FORCE UNLEASHED-
Maris Brood - Wow. Tons. Up to 4 or 5. Need to army build female Imps! Customs hopefully.
Juno Eclipse - 2. One to keep, one as potential custom fodder.
Shadow Guard - None. No real need, though I like the look.
Darth Vader (Battle Damage) - Hmm. This looks cool. Probably one.
"Samurai Jedi" - 2 or 3. Good figure, good custom potential.
"Heavy Stormtrooper #1" - None.
"Heavy Stormtrooper #2" - None.
Vintage -
Han Hoth - One.
Leia Endor - One. MAYBE Two for custom potential.
Luke Skywalker - Not crazy about the head sculpt, but I'm sure I'll get one.
Bossk - One.
IG-88 - Maybe one. Not high on my list. Depends on money at the time.
Snowtrooper - Either none or two, depending on money. I was never a huge fan of snowtroopers, I can live without this.
And let's not forget -
Sith Infiltrator - One most definitely. Love this ship, can't wait.
V-Wing - Maybe....the problem is I already have absolutely no room for additional ships in my tiny living space. Half are on display (ever available shelf and desk space!) and the other half are sadly collecting dust in a closet - this includes AOTC starfighter, Y-Wing, all my speeder bikes (and there are several), Geonosian fighter, larger scale X-Wing, AT-AT, AAT, all my small and air speeders, all my creatures....it's depressing. V-Wing looks great, but I just need a bigger apartment!
So, adding it all up, assuming highest number of possible figs (and both vehicles) bought, I'm looking at the following damage for '07:
$437.40
Yipes. And that's not including all the other possible figs from that secret French list.....
Damn you, Hasbro!!!
