I'm glad to see these. Greedo is a pricey figure and Han and Luke are in need of updated face paint. I just hope.I can pre order them.

Even with the updated likeness, $26.49 is more than I'm willing to pay for these. These are my least favorite looks for Luke and Han and I never really cared much for Greedo. I guess the appeal lies in the nostalgic cardback.

If these figures are not a testament as to how lazy and insulting Hasbro is then I dont know what is!!! Essentially they want you to pay 25 bucks for what really amounts to a new cardback!!! Are they out of their tree?? Ok and maybe a slightly better looking head. Fire the division head of this line and put me in charge!!! Here is what I would have done:  For Luke: add a pair of hands where he can ACTUALLY hold his binoculars and look through them. Add the same stormtrooper belt that is an accessory with the Solo figure. Heck, it already exists, go to the bin and add one for each Luke figure. Just these two fixes alone make this a more attractive purchase for those who have this already. Potentially doubling your sales from just first time buyers.  As for the other two figures, there is not much more you can do that you have not already done. I'm guessing that since this is something like the 5th release of Greedo that there was an over production somewhere a long the way and they trying real hard to get rid of them.  They just did the Kenner paint job on this a month ago, and now this one??? Yeah, this and Solo were not a good choice. Replace Greedo with the latest Stormtrooper version(Mando). People love army builders and this version is the best to date 

So Hasbro, I'm right here waiting to smarten you guys up. Just send the job offer. Please note, I will need med benefits from day 1. None of that wait 30 days crap.

My thoughts exactly: it's all about the card back here. Maybe hasbro should knock 5 bucks off the price and just sell the cards? (Sarcasm intended)

I said that I like the packaging, not that I'd buy them. 

Precisely. Amen my friend.

These are fun. Takes me back to my early days of collecting. Before that I was getting vintage ones at flee markets.
