Meepo, Thanks a bunch! I added it my site...
Check list is awesome, I will probably make an animated gif from that!

My pleasure! ;D Putting up information, even limited, on the next series of figures is really getting me jazzed! Though I did find it interesting to see that Clone Sergeant, Boga, and AT-RT are no longer considered #35-37, despite existing stickers on figures and checklists claiming otherwise!  |

The info about the speed of serie 2 figures seems to be already there.
For instance the new Grievous has got 12 speed, and R2D2 8 speed.

And the new Mace Windu should be a shooter (with force blast of course), because he costs 40 points, and he's only got 6 speed.

The new Grievous bodyguard costs the same, but with an improved 12 speed.
The new basic Clone Trooper has rised in cost to 20 points, and with the same speed of 4 (maybe larger base?).
And the Destroyer Droid speed is only 6! So, no rolling action like in the movies.
Also the Gunship has got a speed of 4, so it should have some special rules for its deployment.

Yes! I'm very excited for Series 2!
Things I'm looking forward to and/or am suprised by...
Darth Vader #51 only has a 10 speed (no, he doesn't have a 10 speed bike!). Since he had a huge movement as a striker this could be a huge movement for a force-blast character. Then again, he could have a new non-striker power. Or, he could be the Return of the Jedi 'I'm old and have lost a step or two' Darth with lightsaber (but if he is a 10 movement striker why would you use him over #16?).
Obi-Wan Kenobi #52 I hope (and assume) it's 'Old Ben'.
Tion Mendon #56 is a striker (12 speed). I would have thought he'd be pretty much like Nute Gunray. But the character does have some pretty funky hands with long nails. Here's hoping he has a huge 'wookiee hand'.
General Grievous #58 is a striker!! (12 speed) Looking forward to him kicking some Jedi arse!
Kit Fisto #61 is a striker (12 speed). I'm suprised that he isn't a force-blaster. It looks like there aren't many force-blasters in this set. Actually just one Mace Windu #50.
All in all, looks great. Bring it on!!!

Obi-Wan Kenobi #52 I hope (and assume) it's 'Old Ben'. That wizard's just a crazy old man! Yeah the set looks awesome. I hope Grievous has at least TWO lightsabers. And a Darth with movement of 10? Could this be a force CHOKE? No clue how they can do it, but it would be sweet! |

And a Darth with movement of 10? Could this be a force CHOKE? No clue how they can do it, but it would be sweet! I was thinking about the choke as well. Perhaps he will have a huge 'wookiee hand' but not an open hand, in a more choke pose. Or maybe he can actually shoot his hand in the choke pose. Now, before anyone responds with "Darth Vader never shot his hand", I realize that but it could 'simulate' him killing someone at range. Kind of like that new Marvel Battle game from ToyBiz, but he wouldn't have a 'fist-gun' but his hand would shoot from his arm like the force-blasters. |

Kind of like that new Marvel Battle game from ToyBiz, but he wouldn't have a 'fist-gun' but his hand would shoot from his arm like the force-blasters. What if he had an extended hand, like all the force blasts, but inside and spring loaded is a GIANT Clear Force Blast hand. You know, with the fingers and thumb spread wide, in the choking position! Maybe it won't shoot out, separate, from the figure, but just jump out, while still attached. Making him somewhere between a Long range and Short range figure. Otherwise, I have no idea why he would be a slower striker, or a SUPER FAST blaster! |

I think that Vader will stay the same.
It will simply be a striker.
It's true that he has lost 4 points of movement but he'll cost 10 points less (series 2 Vader is "just" 30 points).

And now i'm almost sure that the Destroyer Droid will have two shooting arms.
It costs 40 points with a move of 6. The same stats of some really tough force blasters (like Obi-Wan or Shaak-Ti).
But, if you think that the Droidekas will not have the large Force-Blast missile, so it needs to compensate with something else.
At first I thought the it could have an improved speed, but now that we see the stats I'm sure that it'll shoot twice.

I'd have to agree with Chromit on Vader being a striker still. Probably a different pose, though. And it'll be nice to have a 30 point Vader that doesn't look like that pansy Anakin!
Oh man, I know what you mean about Grivous - 2 lightsabers, minimum! If he had all four arms loaded up with them though I think I'd cry with joy!!

Yea, he probally will a striker but it would be cool as hell to see a Vader with a huge ghost hand like Joe suggested.

Grievous is only 20 points? He's going to be pretty lame.
Isn't anyone else looking forward to the bounty hunters?
