Sweet, I'll have to start saving my pennies now. I'm gonna get rid of some of my collection, and pick up the mains of this line. Since that seems to be the ones I keep. Anyone need a Bo Shek?

SW figures have never really interested me; They lack articulation. I'm going to have to get a General Grievous, though.

Guess you've never seen these.

Nowadays, the figures are getting more and more articulation.

By the way, here are some sneak preview figures:

I'm not surprised about the existance of knee articulation, I just haven't seen a SW figure with it before. Well, maybe the Swoop Rider.

My biker scout on the speeder bike has knee articulation, but because of its need to actually mount the bike, even when standing up with knees slightly bent it looks like it's trying to take a dump.

Looks like Grievous really can wield four lightsabres. Judging from spoilers, the way Obi-Wan kills him will be funny ...

On a semi-related note, the new General Grievous animated figure is fucking beautiful.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

Any word on if they'll do a micromachines line for the ships?

Correction, Episode I was the last time Galoob made MicroMachines. Galoob was bought out by Hasbro several years back. The Action Fleet that were released with Episode II were Hasbro, not Galoob, even though they used the same molds. But, even so, Hasbro was considering bringing back the MicroMachine line for Episode III.

I hope they bring those back. Micros were good quality models.

And just check out how much they go for on eBay.

See, Hasbro, they're profitable!

There are? Maybe I'm dim, but I can't see anything mind-shattering in there.

Only mind-shattering for those who haven´t followed the spoilers seasons. :wink:

Ah. That would explain my complete lack of shit-giving. :P

The Super-articulated Trooper looks promising, I must say.

Aside from the old spoilers being confirmed, there´s also some new characters and vehicles either mentioned or hinted at in the list, so that´s partially why I posted it. :wink:
