Good news. I'll be picking up one of each. Hopefully this will lead to more sets like a Death Star maybe??? I can dream, right?

[Ren]

Those toys look pretty cool, thanks for the link!!

[J-Gon]

yeah they look great and all but I just hope I am actually able to find them.

[Mr.Sci-Fi]

I've always liked the playskool SW figs, recently I just got the falcon at a KB for $15 and opened it. The electronic features are awesome on it. I hope this line is picked up and carried this time.

[Rama Sha]

good to see that both the repeat figures from the Falcon (Chewy and C-3PO) are in the same set.

 

 

And I know the Stormtrooper is one as well, but you can never have too many Stormtroppers.

[J-Gon]

I want the Jango and Boba from those sets! I'll prolly end up getting them off of ebay though.

[monkey boy]

BOUNTY HUNTERS!!!!! OH WOW OWOWOWOWOWOW WOWZERS! i NEEEEED little bounty hunters to call my own.

 

the more bossk the better.

i still haven't found the new bossk figure, but when i do...hoo boy.

 

then comes bossk unleashed.

 

and then little itty bitty bossk..

 

 

 

...statues are too expensive.

[Preventer MK II]

They pushed the right button... ESB bounty hunters >.<

 

Looks like I'll be picking up a few of these sets. But does anyone else here feel a little bummed that 4-LOM can never participate in active combat?

[Jack]

My nephew is so going to have those. I hope he lets me play with them too!

[Rama Sha]

I can't wait for these. My wife loves these things. I guess Im gonna have to give her more shelf space now.

From Galactic Hunter:

A look at the upcoming "Jabba's palace" 2 pks, among others.

[Mig]

I found the Bounty Hunter set twice at Target. Dengar rules!! The other figures in the sets look really cool. Can't wait to find the rest!

[hamsterboy]

Are these the ones Wal-Mart's has reduced for $3? At least mine does.

[Draven79]

Hey Bespin know anywhere locally I can get a Vader/ Obi set??? Rjones said he had one for me but that was 2 months ago.

Draven

[Bespin refugee]

^No, but, it looks like some earlier sets will be rereleased. Entertainment Earth lists it as part of an upcoming assortment.

[Draven79]

Thanks Bespin, but guess what I found a Wildwood Walmart tonight on the new ROTS card? Yep the very Obi/Vader set I needed for my GF!

Rebelscum:

Galactic Heroes

This line has proved to be a huge success, and it's caught Hasbro a bit by surprise. We've already reported on four new sets planned as repaints* in order to keep the line going for the first quarter of 2006, all in new black-and-silver packaging.

 

If you think the following sound a bit familiar, you are not alone! It seems that the original 2002 'Star Wars Jr.' sets under the Playskool name will be coming out in the Galactic Heroes banner. This is a great way to get caught up for those who may have come in late.

 

Hoth 2-Pack (Luke Skywalker and Han Solo?)

Endor 2-Pack with Speeder Bike (Luke?)

Endor 2-Pack with Speeder Bike (Scout Trooper?)

Geonosis 2-Pack (Mace Windu and Geonosian Warrior?)

Coruscant 2-Pack

Emperor with red Shock Trooper

 

 

*Dark Side Anakin with (Blue) Tactical Ops Trooper

Obi-Wan Kenobi with (Orange) Utapau Clone Trooper

Darth Vader with Emperor Palpatine

Kashyyyk Yoda with Kashyyyk Scout Trooper

[GaZ]

I don't get whats changed. The falcon was always in GH packaging. Only difference is the bubble with the figures has gone

[Skips]

Can't wait for the Fetts...
