Phatty:
Not sure exactly which line this is, but it's terrible.  I've seen some pieces trickling in here and there, mostly battle packs, medium sized ships, and those so-called 12" figures.  I am absolutely appalled at the drivel that Hasbro is trying to pass off here.  Those 12" figures are so cheap and cheesy, I don't even see toddlers wanting them.  I saw the Jango Fett Slave 1 yesterday, and I don't know how, but they shrunk it.  It's got to be half of the size of the original.  The quality of these battlepacks are even worse.  They look like those cheap Dollar Store action figures with hardly any detail at all.  I can't believe I'm about to actually say this, but I truly feel that the TPM series from 1999 is leaps and bounds better than what's being put out there right now.

However, those are only my thoughts.  For those of you who have seen these in the wild, what are your thoughts? 

Tamer:
Yepper, the 5 poa I think is gonna doom the line.

Phatty:
It's an insult, if you ask me.  Basically, Hasbro is saying, "You'll buy what we put out and we know it, so we don't care about the end result, only our bottom line."  Whomever is at the top, making these decisions and allowing the quality to go so low, is going to drive the line into the ground, and I honestly don't know if new movies will be enough to save it at this rate.  I see peg warmers along the lines of the Green Lantern figures.

Tamer:
Yeah, I hear you and totally agree. I just can't get over the fact that GG is making 12 inch jumbos in true vintage style with 5 poa's and they are selling out. Uhhh....why doesn't Hasbro follow that same successful practice?

Clonehead:
I havent seen any new battle packs, Pat. Shoot some pics next time, if you would. I am starting to regret selling so many of my saga line figures if it turns out that they are now superior to something coming out 10+ years later. One thing about it, that will make our older collections increase in value.
