Also recommend ROTS Anakin and Mace Windu. Haven't picked up TPM Sid and Maul yet, but they are on my list of to-gets.

The Luke figure grew on me once I busted him out of his package last night. He looks like a very retro figure in package, but he really does have some moves like Jagger. The head sculpt is dead on too.

..and a Windu suggestion was going to be my next question.

The latest AT-AT driver looks cool with the removable helmet but I think the proportions are wrong and the torso joint is really loose. I like the Saga driver better.
The latest vintage collection R5-D4 astromech looks the same as the previous version only now Hasbro insists upon using "build a droid" bodies that come with 2 extra holes (in case you want to make a 4 legged droid). I like the Saga collection R5-D4 better.

You're probably right, but the exceptions you listed are good things to know. I think if you've been following the SW line for the past few years, there's not much to know, but for someone like myself who literally walked right past the SW stuff for about 5 straight years.. the constant repacks and shuffling around of accessories can be a little over-whelming. Also, I know that The Phantom Menace wave is the most current, but I have no idea what order the other waves were released in, so some might not know what the latest version is.

For example; someone might not know that the Legacy Collection (whatever the "non" VC line is called) Qui-Gon is literally the same figure as the one in the black package and is $1-$2 cheaper. I believe the robe (or lack of) is different, but that might not matter to some.

There also could be a "must have" accessory that came in one package, but not the other; those are the types of things that might help out.
