With 11 different assortments of wave 3 coming soon, it seems we will have no problem finding the pig....For all of those who display figures in dioramas, would you need more than, let's say, four or so guards??????? just wondering.....:bandit:

I'm planning on getting at least three - one to hold each of the weapons. I'll have to check the movie to see how many are in there and probably go from there.
I was planning on four to start. I don't usually army build more than 3-4 but between a Jabba's palace set up and a Sail Barge/skiff display, I could probably use 4 easily.
I know I want to get at least 3, but will probably end up with more than that depending on how easy they are to find. I'm going to try to cut myself off at 6 loose and 2 carded, but we'll see what happens. I think I ended up with 5 of the VTAC Bossk figures from 2007 (not including the 2 Saga Legends versions I bought this year) and I'm probably 10 times more excited about this Gamorrean Guard than I ever was for Bossk.
I will buy seven of them to eat. I like pork.
There are never more than 3 Gamorreans in the same place at the same time in the films.Quote:

2 inside the Sail Barge just before the Skiff Battle
1 on the deck of the Sail Barge during the Skiff Battle
I'll probably get around 5 loose and one carded. Its a great figure, but with limited space, I can't really justify getting more than that.
I'm going to get at least 4 more.....for the one's in the Rancor's belly....he had quite an appetite for porklolQuote:

If figures sell out the instant they hit the pegs, then fans complain that Hasbro underestimated demand. If the figures take a few days or weeks to sell through, then they are labeled as pegwarmers and people start claiming that the line isn't selling and make doom-and-gloom predictions about the future of Star Wars merchandising.Quote:
