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.

yup, that's exactly what happened when i picked up ep1 quigon and obi when they were 30% off at TRU. on one hand, slightly cheaper with stands and semi gimmicky accessories and on the other hand, no stand but decent robes. ended up going with the robes since i wanted those more.
then there's the new new wave of stuff comprised of some blast from the past figures all of which are completely dated but slightly cheaper than the better counterparts.

not to also mention the weird pack ins. target had that 3 pack a while ago that had just gone on clearance and just sold out at mine that had chewbacca, 3po and r2. the r2 in the set is the exact version i wanted for the longest time. no gimmicks, just turn the head and the 3rd leg retracts. same as that preview ROTS astromech. didn't pick it up at 10 bucks since i had no need for a lesser 3po and have 2 chewbaccas as is. but sigh... that happens too. the ideal version of something ends up in a pack that contains other stuff you have no need of nor are willing to pay certain prices on just for 1 figure.

also, weird question but can anyone tell me if the ROTS Obiwan head fits on the AOTC vintage Obiwan body? thinking of picking up the AOTC one since the body has better proportions than the ROTS and TPM figures.
