Just a couple questions:
I LOVED the look of it on line when it was announced and the nice pics were put on Rebelscum, but when I went in and looked at C-3PO (wanted the Fett but they didnt have him) I thought he looked really cheap and didnt get him. Flash forward a few months and I see the Fett and get him. He is pretty cool, but it is a cheap, rubbery plastic like they looked. Im not too impressed with him honestly, his backpack DOESNT stay on at all, his helmet antenna is bent over, along with both his blasters. WHY the rubbery plastic? I LOVE the line, love the look of them, but I cant get past the plastic theyre using. However, I think Im going to try and pic up a few of the foil backed ones I like, not ALL of them. My son, on the other hand, LOVES them ALL (he will be 3 in December) and made me show him all of them on line. He is already telling me which ones he wants and he called his grandmother tonight to ask her for a few (Vader, Storm Trooper, Boba, Anakin, Obi Wan) for Christmas. So, while in the store this past weekend I saw a number of figures with foil cards. I know they are more rare, but how much more? I didnt see anything BUT foil Obi Wan and Anakin, so whats the deal. Any exact numbers on how many are foil? I also found some "blank" foil cards on the 'bay. How in the world does one get a never-been-used foil card? Is there a way to take the plastic off as to not ruin the card? Star Wars Vintage 2010 Greivous Foil Proof Card NEW! - eBay (item 380268886274 end time Nov-12-10 16:07:27 PST) Lastly, on the 'bay I found a Jabba the Hutt listed: ★STAR WARS VINTAGE 2010★JABBA"S THRONE★NEW & SEALED★ - eBay (item 260656881174 end time Oct-27-10 03:22:32 PDT) Is this indeed one of the new Vintage 2010 line figures? I couldnt find him listed on Rebelscum, so Im guessing no, but I could have overlooked it. Thanks for any info you guys might have, I appreciate it.

Jabba is a Wal-Mart exclusive that has recently hit stores
A friend of mine found one a few months ago then didn't see anymore for the longest time, he just found some more so I assume stores will be stocking more of these |

The never used cardbacks were given away at the latest SW celebration, I believe.

Not really that rare. I've seen them everywhere. Its just for the MOC collector's to have something nice and shiny displayed on their walls.

So does that mean they are produced 1:2, 1:4, etc.? Anybody have any hard numbers? Ive been in 3 stores, and only one had any foil figures at all and that one had all Obi Wan and Anakin in foil only (probably 5 total figures of the 30 they had).
