I feel bad for collectors who have invested heavily in the line over the years and told to get 5 POA figures for the new film or get less than 10 articulated figures a year from a single chain store. Or switch scales entirely..... Sad days for 3.75"

That said, we are brand new to Star Wars so we are ok with the 5 POA line. As Marvel 3.75" collectors ( my son and I) we would be mad if put in the same boat as Star Wars 3.75" collectors. Or worse.... GI JOE collectors have been just completely shafted. Way of the world these days.

I hear you. As one of those long time collectors it's hard going to back to 5POA or just getting a handful of figures a year. I have almost religiously collected Star Wars since its resurgence in the late 90's, well over 700 figures from the movies and EU - didn't get the Clone Wars figures as I don't care for the animation. So knowing how it was going to be going into this movie's merchandise was bittersweet.

At first I decided to get nothing. Then I read about the smaller black line, which I was down for and have all the ones from TFA. I wasn't going to by any 5POA but I did cave and got a Phasma and a Guarvian...however you spell their name, the red suited space pirate. Phasma I will store away once/if they release the small black series figure on her (I can't see them doing that line for the other) but that's pretty much it.

Kind of sad, but I don't want to get into the 6 inch line, that is reserved only for Marvel Legends, and trying to take on another scale for another brand at this point. It's just too much time/effort/space/money.
