I can't believe with all the Starships in the PT, LEGO is STILL re-releasing OT ships.

And where the hell is my Amidala PT figure, LEGO? Hmm? HMMMM?

We need action figures w/ cloth clothing. All the beautiful styles in the PT and nothing to show for it on the action figure aisle. At a minimum, all Jedi and Sith should have an offering w/ good quality cloth robes.

Some stuff worn by Padme should be represented. And on and on. Lot of cool styles in each movie. I think they could charge a few dollars more and bring a higher standard of quality to the game and be successful.

I’m bored when I go action figure shopping and I think bringing the creative energy that went into the wardrobe to the toys would freshen things up for a 25 year old line. I’m sure some dudes would say buy a 12” but I dig the smaller ones more.

Terrible idea, and overpriced here in Australia too ($34.99)

Hasbro would make more Padmé figures, but the problem is, that they simply do not sell very well.
The ones they have made, either became pegwarmers or have been really difficult to track down.

There is however, an exclusive Padmé Ilum figure due out this year.
You know, Padmé in that snowbunny outfit from the Clone Wars cartoon?
We know it's coming, but don't know the style it'll be in (ie) Cartoon or Regular?

I would like more playsets like Dagobah. I loved that playset. I have heard Hasbro is not going to produce them anymore because of costs. That's stupid in my opinion. That is why I bought the 3 3/4 figures is to have the vehicles and the playsets.

I am dissapointed in Hasbro as well. But what can you say? They need to make money. The other day I saw a toy of Vader atop a motorcycle weilding a lightsaber -- so from that alone I would say Star Wars merchandise is falling towards the craptastic... On the other hand, Sideshow Toy has a vastly superior Star Wars product than has ever been released at the price range they offer.

I can't wait for my Jedi Luke!

LEGO and Sideshow seem to be saving the Star Wars collectible market at the moment.

I agree. I'm kicking myself for not getting the 12 inch Anakin and Obi Wan!

With all the exclusives, treasure (galactic) hunt figures, repaints and more it seems like Hasbro is trying to kill interest in the Star Wars line.

you can't expect much from Hasbro as the line grows older and older....they just run out of ideas...remember the ridiculous ends to the batman and gijoe lines....

There are hundreds of background characters that fans would love to own. I, for one, am sick to death of R2 and CHewie figures.

I don't think they'll ever stop making Lukes, Vaders, R2s and so on...but that'd be a nice way to finish the line someday...with an ultimate series of standard size action figures...the final version of each figure as it counts down to completion.

but i guess that flies in the face of the toy industry's standard business model. squeeze the line until it's dry...and lame as hell.

I thought that the Star Wars Transormers were interesting... But just not cool enough to inspire any desire to collect them.

Bad:
The Lucas Family Set, Star Wars Transformers, The Attactics line :(

Is anyone else sick of the UGH yet? I found a Commander Cody and Scorch at TRU. I hope they don't continue to do this kind of crap. I feel bad enough I sent off for the George Lucas in Stormtrooper outfit. NO MORE EXCULSIVES Hasbro PLEASE! I have an idea for you guys, start making the toys everybody wants for a change! I would them to make a Dagobah, Ewok Village, and Jedi Temple playset. And more Padme figures please! And one more thing, a descent Jabba the Hutt as well. Just my opinion.

What we really need here at MF is an insider in the toy world to spoil us (ie someone in Sideshow Collectibles).

Why just scorch? why not all of delta squad! or omega! I'm hoping sideshow does a set of delta squad members or a unleashed deluxe set. Having a gen. grievous ship would be cool. How about a Kal Skirata figure?
