As a star wars maniac, i hope that Hasbro gets off their asses and do something cool with this line. Make everysinle obscure charcter, make more of the classic style sw toys at a cheaper non-$10 price, and make some better articulated versions of the major charcetrs *cough*jedilukeskywalker*cough*.

Yeah, hopefully the do something similar to these GI Joes.... these half jacked articulated figures suck. They may look nice but if you can't pose them, whats the use?
Stop repackaging the same figures into another package! |

What becomes of the Star Wars line after the 30th?
An eternity of repacks and repaints. |

I wonder sometimes what a repack actually looks like while it's happening. Do you think there is a big warehouse somewhere in China where tons of unsold figs and vehicles wait until being brought out for some poor shlubs to unpackage and then repackage into new cards and boxes and such?

*mentally hugs republic gunship inside rubbermade box in storage that also contains my 2002 luke x-wing*
i also collected star wars like mad from the POTF 2 line and trickled off after ROTS. mostly due to moving to japan... star wars figures are twice the price in japan, and on base we only get like 1 case semi-annually. i'm extremely confident we will continue to see SW product for the next... decade or two? i mean, its gone 30 so far, why not another 30? hey, its possible... in addition to what was already mentioned for the future of SW figures/vehicles... did we forget? LIVE ACTION TV SHOW?! i am positive this will yield INCREDIBLE figures!!!! i mean, BOBA FETT: CONFIRMED! do we need any more convincing than that? ![]() i just hope he hunts down at least a couple jedi during the show. i needs me some lightsaber characters! oh and troopers. we all know hasbro loves to give us troopers! as for the crappy articulation, i think what's going on there is hasbro trying to keep star wars figures looking like STAR WARS figures. if they gave them the same articulation as joes... wouldnt that blur the lines a bit? it sucks, but i'm pretty sure thats why they have stuck with T crotches for sooooo long. and dear god if that rumored falcon makes it to stores... im actually salivating just thinking about it! i still have my POTF falcon sitting right over me on fishing line right now (i trust my knots! lol), and i would never get rid of it. but this new one would totally be my default smuggler ship! (please, hasbro... give us a walkway from the cockpit to the crew's lounge, and realistic gunner stations! good try with the OTC re-issue though. the lights were great. i nearly bought one but $50 was a bit steep for a falcon that still had so many problems.) like the sign said at C4... "STAR WARS IS FOREVER" or as i like to think of it... "The Force(TM) will be with you... ALWAYS." yeah, i may get sucked back into collecting SW basic figures again. i moved on to other things like prop replicas (FX sabers) and 12 inch figures (medicom and sideshow). but i just recently made a few basic figure purchases. those mcquarrie figures are irresistable!!! MTFBY!
