MegaPrime33:
That MTT looks pretty sweet.
Haloid1177:
TOR Trooper looks fucking fantastic.
MegaPrime33:
Would like to see more vintage style vehicles. It's been awhile since we've had a falcon. Though I'm guessing once the OT comes out in 3D, we probably will.
D00MTR0N:

Nope, this Vader has the ball hips, and wrists.
Talisman:
TOR stuff= Pure awesome, must have.
New 501st Trooper= Love it. Want it.
Fordo repack= YES! Now I can have one.
Clone Lieutenant= Always wanted one.
Hoth Luke= Want.
MTT= So cool, yet so cost prohibitive.
Jar Jar in Carbonite= HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES!
Prune Face= Seth Green is a psychic.
Overall: I likey. Gonna be a good year for the collection, bad year for my wallet.
M3T4L V1KING:
I for one am quite impressed by what characters they're deciding to release. Especially the realistic versions of the clone wars characters.
JustryGT:
I agree. I will be getting at least a dozen good original trilogy figures this year.
Thanks for the great photos guys . I saw it here first!
Orion_Prime48:
im not a SW collector but that Grevious, the podracers and few of those other figures are so bought
Solrac333:
Realistic Clone Wars characters? Cool.
rupertvalero:
im hopeful that new articulated darth vader is the real deal and not some 'close-but-no-cigar' version. (best example is the revoltech 067 eva unit 1 which looked and had great articulation EXCEPT for the horrible peg wrists that kept popping off.)
Autobot_Goldbug: - Sandtrooper AGAIN???!! Huh?!

- Ree Yees? is he prequel alien or OT

Looks like there are no OT vehicles.
stjuggernaut: 
Is this the trooper from the old republic cinematic trailer? does he have a name or is he just an unknown trooper? i think its the best figure out of all the new star wars figures. looks amazing.
MegaPrime33:
Have there been any images yet of the MTT closed? I hope it does otherwise it would be redundant. It's obvious Lucas and Hasbro are making a major push for the 3D release which to me means that we will see this kind of presence every year with each release. Can't wait to see what they do with the original trilogy. I better start saving now.
Jason Abbadon:
I'm buying like five of the Vizla figure! She's awesome! And look at that flame blast she has!

yes it is the republic trooper from the old republic. his name is Jace Malcom, but it seems that he will come packed with extra gear to have the appearance of a generic republic trooper, kinda like capt fordo did.if you look at this pic you can see the diff gear. i also agree that it is the best figure there, too bad it doesn't have ball jointed hips.
trebleshot:
Looks like I'll need to set aside some money for some more VC figures. Definitely want that new Vader and Hoth Luke.

Ree Yees is definitely an OT alien. Either from Mos Eisley Cantina or Jabba's Palace, IIRC. I remember having his original figure back in the day.

Probably waiting for the 3D release of the OT.
r3v3n63:
Oh man! The Old Republic figures is what I am really interested in, and if it's anything like trying to find the Force Unleashed figures then I have a feeling I am going to have difficulty getting them.
Optimus Vader:
I'm glad I just got into the Vintage Line now that they're adding articulation.

Interesting, this is a trooper from the old Republic, that gear looks better than the newer stuff that supposedly came later & was more advanced.

Heh, welcome to the Prequels. Enjoy your stay.

think about it,that troopers gear was funded under the old republic while the "newer" stormtrooper gear was funded by the empire who prolly cut all kinds of corners ie.cheap.

Interesting theory - did you ever read what that time line was supposed to be? Are we talking 40 years or hundreds of years?

I think there's supposed to be roughly 20 years in between the first three episodes and the second. Luke was just born at the end of ep3 and was a late teen/early twenties in ep4.

Yeah, that's what I heard as well. I liked the Darth Bane books & wasn't sure if that's the New Republic era or not.

Actually it is supposed to be roughly 2000 years before Episode I. Star wars Wiki says this about the era...
The Great Galactic War, occasionally called the Great War or the Sith–Republic War, was a war between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic between 3,681 BBY and 3,653 BBY, ultimately lasting for a total of 28 years.
I'm not all up on the whole time line but I think this is supposed to be the second Sith war with the Republic, Darth Malgus is the major bad guy in this (he's the figure who looks a bit like Vader without the helmet.) I hear lots of theory's regarding the look and tech level of something happening so far in the past and none sound very satisfactory. But, at least they made figures for them, very cool looking!

Exactly right! Twenty years between ROTS and ANH movies.
Dark Horse's incredible Dark Times series is set in this era- starting just months after the Empire is formed and the Jedi order destroyed.
Man, it's great. Google the art on it and be amazed!
stjuggernaut:
Yeh i always thought it was funny that the star wars tech from thousands of years before the film was the same if not better than at the time of the films... but i guess if the galaxy has gone through great periods of devastation etc it makes sense how theyb wouldnt have advanced that much i suppose. not unlike the warhammer 40k universe.
Thanks for the tip about jace. he is by far the best figure there. all the gear he comes with is awesome. and for us customizers.... that armor...commander shepard mass effect 3 custom anyone?
Jason Abbadon:
Instead of mass Effect, I was thinking Masterchief!
Slayer or Onyx makes a nice head for 3.75 Masterchief.
The tech thing used to bother me in SW but your idea nails it perfectly- so many wars mean that a lot of exotic advanced tech was actually lost...and a lot of what we see in the movies represents a lower level of technology that in times past.
Probably why things look so used in SW- lack of production of new ships and tech have made people creative in keeping their tech running- like how the Y-Wings and Snowspeeders were stripped and converted for new roles.
Boba Fettuccini:
you know, i really like the looks of this 'amped' toy... it's very reminiscent of old modular building toys fro the 80s.
stjuggernaut:
Does anyone know a release date for this Jace Malcom figure? im guessing some time in summer but i havent seen a release date in any of the pics.
