What do you guys think of the new figure/coins/idea/ect that are celebrating thirty years of everyone's favorite series featuring Peter Mayhew (dispute that logic!). Anyways I started my collection of these cool figures simply because I've loved Star Wars for so long and feel somewhat obligated (Thanks a lot Hasbro) to collect it's big 'versary editions.
So far the figures aren't all that awesome, most repacks (sorta like Attacktix), but as I haven't collected (or bought) the 3 inch line since the days of AOTC (I still love my Ackley) they're all still new to me. I'm love the new waist joint they put on since the days of old as they let me pose them much better.
The first sets gives us two clones, Vader, Obi, R2, Super Battle Droid, Mace, and a very special Storm Trooper. Future series can be found here www.rebelscum.com/TACfigures.asp though I find it odd that a seperate section has a Toyfair picture of 30th anniversary Grievous with card showing Maul, neither of which appear on the list thus far. (On a side0note how in God's name did Revan beat HK-47 and Mara Jade on the fan poll?). The expanded universe set looks the best, and leave it to Star Wars to get me excited about a character I've never seen in anything ever but aparently should have (Elis Helrot).
For me it's a one year venture started as we wait for M2, TF2, and SW5. Luckily I can split my money evenly amongst SW, TF and 30th (I'm thinking about 15 bucks a week, maybe 30).
Enough about me, what are you're thoughts on the new figures, and how awesome is this picture on Vader's album? www.rebelscum.com/photo.asp?image=/TAC/TAC01vaderalbum.jpg&text=Compsite%20image%20of%20the%20opened%20Coin%20Album

But I do think they got out a lot of cool new figures; the Mustafar Lava Miner (he looks like a Bionicle...) that "Stormtrooper" prototype with a shield and a lightsaber, and Kenobi with a blaster and a stun staff (from Ep. III, the fight with Grievous). Also, I'm liking the new R2-D2... he comes with jet blast "fire" and can send a Super Battle Droid into flames.
