How about re-releasing figures we missed?

Dude - I live in Canada. If ANYONE gets screwed out of figures, it's Canadians.

Canadian! Well, that explains it all then... heh heh.

Apart from popular figures, main characters, and army builders I don't see a need to rerelease a figure just because it was hard to find. Sio Bibble is a good example of this. He is a good figure that not many saw in the store but he is also a fat, balding, Santa wannabe, background character. If he saw decent distribution he would be a huge pegwarmer. Now the white Greivous Bodyguard I can see rereleasing simply because I know it is an army builder and some people who already have one will buy another. That being said I know Hasbro will continue to do a gluttony of rerelease so Sio may eventually get done.

I would still rather new figures, or new molds than re-releasing stuff that someone missed. Most figs can be had off ebay for retail or less, with the exception of a few.

I thought that was my point but maybe my English to Canadian translator is off.

Stupid Canadian English messing up my stupid American English understanding.....

I thought you meant that you'd be OK with troop builders being re-released...I'm saying even those I would not prefer to see again.....

UNLESS - they are the ultimate version of that fig. Feel free to re-issue SA Ep. 2 clones, SA Ep. 3 Clones, VOTC Stormies, VOTC Scout troopers....
