I used to be a big star wars collector from the potf time in 95-97 all the way through revenge of the sith, Then i traded my entire collection at my comic shop for store credit to buy more joes. The past couple of weeks i have been collecting some of what is left of the 30th anniversary figures and the unleashed 2" figures. I never knew they had that much articulation now. WOW! the old kenner potf stuff from the 90's was terrible compared to this. Now i want to start collecting star wars again but im afraid i have come in on the tail end of the 30th line and wonder if star wars will continue. I really want to rebuild my collection. I want to get some classic stuff like tie fighters, x-wings, the falcon, does anyone know if i can expect to see any of this stuff?

Hello. I've been collecting Star Wars figures for years now, and just in the past year tapered off a bit. I've noticed this Xmas more Star Wars items than ever before. There is a rumored new Millenium Falcon coming out this year, as well as several other vehicles. This is indeed a good time for you to begin collecting Star Wars. Also, Entertainment Earth had the TRU exclusive X-wing fighter on sale( they may still have it) So classic vehicles shouldn't be a problem to obtain. Good luck.

...Also, Rebelscum.com is an excellent source of Star wars info.

Thanks for the great info, by the way do you know if there were or are any vehicles that go along with the unleashed 2" figures?

I don't think they made any. Tough it would be a cool idea. The only smaller vehicles I can think of is the Titanium series. These would be way too small for the unleashed Battlepacks.

The Millenium Falcon is rumored to see a SERIOUS revamp later this year, we're talking a $100-$150 release here.

The basic TIE and Darth Tie vehicles are still being rotated in and out of the vehicle assortments,and will be for a while.

Most of the vehicles have been store exclusives, TRU got the AT AT a couple years ago, Target got the Imperial Shuttle last year, so you can expect many to cycle in over the next few years.

Hasbro has full plans to continue Star Wars for a good while yet to come, so even if you miss stuff, they will probably reissue it before too much longer.

Hasbro tried doing larger playset deal for the 2" line, but those flopped big time at retail. The only ones to hit retail were a HOTH Turrent and a Snow Speeder set
( Snow SPeeder ).

As is, I'm astonished to see the 2" line still supported by Hasbro, and don't expect it to remain too much longer into the future.

Same here man, but it is Star Wars, and you know what all the manufacturers say, "nothing compares to star wars", which equates to "star wars can get away with damn near everything that other lines can't".

After TAC, the Force Unleashed, BAD(Build A Droid) waves, and Clone Wars waves will come out. Big ticket items this year are the AT TE and retooled Millenium Falcon(1 or both are rumored to have a 20 figure capacity).

Basically, think 2007 on steroids.

Does any1 remember when Toy R Us was clearincing out all POTF vehicles back around 1999/2000. They were selling AT AT walkers for 10 dollars each! I had 7 of them, sad I traded them away..........

i've been wishing for a republic gunship for some time now. hopefully hasbro re-releases it, since the clone wars animation will be shown.
