Well I see several new things from both lines that I will just have to have.
I am pretty excited about that new mail in boba.
I wonder if we will get a new sculpt for that rotj tie pilot?

Well now I think Clint puts this all in perspective. They do have some nice additions. I too like that mail in boba. I can't wait to see that figure's loose pics. I figured you would like those tie pilots. It looks like a new sculpt to me.

I bet those could be reworked into some interesting AT-AT Driver Customs! O0

I have a few new images from our friends at Jedi Temple Archives. Thanks Chuck and Paul.

Arnie asked the burning question about whether or not the rest of us not going to SDCC would be able to get the Revenge of the Jedi SDCC exclusive and while they answered they didn't know, it sounded like they were going to "hopefully" add it to the regular etailer outlets soon after SDCC is over so there is hope!

Hey, the Republic Shuttle is only going to be eighty bucks, not a hundred!

Hmmm...sounds like Arnie socked it to her with what the next big vintage vehicle too. From her tone it sounds like a Slave I folks for eighty dollars!

He also got her with the increase in figure prices. She used the tried and proven answer, the cost of plastics and tooling has gone up. Yeah right! Way to go Arnie, you had her squirming a bit with that price question. It is nice to know that is being asked!

well for me the highlights were the TCW  new stuff  ,all the new deluxe packs are a must have  ,they seem to be moving closer and closer to the minirig concept ,the new figures as well have all gone on my hitlist ,it looks like Hasbro may just have learned their lesson about overloading TCW with repacks the only thing i am unsure of is the Republic shuttle/playset  idea,a few vintage pieces have caught my eye  (like the cantina denizens,Logray  etc)  and most certainly Capt Fordo (gotta have 2 of those because of the alternative armour)its just a question now of just how poor the distribution will be in the UK.

Honestly, I'm pretty bloody excited!  Looks like we get a decent Bespin Han & Rebel Fleet Trooper in amongst a lot of other goodies.  I'm seeing a LOT of customizing potential in all these new Legacy figs.  I'm talking "just a head-swap" style customs and you've got scads of new figs.  Very exciting from here.

Finally, the Scramble On Yavin transport and Tech get a mini-rig release!  Several, please!  Hm, well, I think that sentiment goes for almost all the new minirigs, actually.

I'm stoked, I tell ya!  Now, if they can just get that spotty distribution issue cleared up.

And the price back down.

Well, there's always Tunghori, I guess...

Captain Fordo is my favorite from the new figures, but I also like the Rebel Fleet Trooper.

hasbro's finally putting the kind of playability gi joe vehicles has into star wars vehicles.. the attack shuttle does look pretty epic, gonna make a good FCC stand-in

but so few EU characters... i was hoping to see more yuuzhan vong or maybe something frm fate of the jedi series. and the exclusive!! its big.. i hope it makes its way to singapore, some convention exclusives end up overstocked, and put on clearance, like the smiling luke which went for SGD $5... about USD $3.7

Well I think Fordo and the mailaway Concept Boba are the two I'm most excited about. And the possibility of an ESB big Slave 1. I thought I was done buying phase 1 clones, but now I have to have a couple of these new sculpted guys. I also want the CW Commander Colt and the rebel transport speeder.
