Right now I am worried if they will even continue doing deluxe figures. I know Luke/Wampa and Han/TaunTaun are coming and I hope they really sell better than the Speeder Bike and Jabba did. If retailers have to mark down the deluxe again like the Bike and Jabba, I think it could end the deluxe Black figures.

The vintage collection 3.75" Grievous was only sold as a regular figure and he's all anyone could want for the guy except two more lightsabers, but your grievances (snicker) could sadly be valid. I do fear the new deluxe packs will fair poorly as the first two did, on the bright side I might be able to get the tauntaun for cheap.

Also, it's interesting to note how much time has passed without any new 6" stock on Canadian store shelves. I wonder if sales for the last wave were a disappointment, or there is some cross-border issue.

The arrival of a 6" Asoka gives me hope for a similarly detailed 6" version of Sabine.

It would be pretentious to think we spoke as some kind of majority on matters, I was just saying that from my own experience guys like Bossk sell more than guys like Han. Greedo was a bad example for me to use, he most definitely warms pegs here too. Han and Obi Wan are worse though (in my area) but slave Leia is THE warmer to beat. My TRU has had 8 Leias, Greedos, and Hans since that wave was new, and now 12 Obi Wans have joined them in their misery. To make matters worse the Han/Greedo two pack isn't selling at all either.
