Ahhhh... a fresh new forum for a fresh new toyline. And one that has me interested in buying Star Wars again. Something that I haven't done really since a couple years after RotS outside of every Jar Jar figure, Jocasta Nu, and the Jedi Force line. So let's kick things off with everyone's favorite wish list.
I'll keep this thread updated as much as I can. So list your Top 10 Figures!

Trying to be realistic about my choices, this is what I would love to see within the first 2-3 years if the line is a success:
1. Bossk
2. TIE Pilot
3. AT-AT Driver
4. Biker Scout
5. Jedi Luke
6. C-3PO
7. Chewbacca
8. Stormtrooper
9. Boba Fett
10. Gamorrean Guard
11. Han Carbonite
I think Darth Vader is such a foregone conclusion for this line that I see no point in including him in my wish list.
If the line is successful and continues on for a few years, then I would like to see some more obscure choices:
1. Barada
2. Kithaba
3. Ephant Mon
4. A-Wing Pilot
5. Amanaman
6. R5-D4
7. Yak Face
8. Pote Snitkin
9. Squidhead
10. Weequay

I am VERY surprised at these names on your list, BB.

I'm already sold on the Luke X wing pilot and r2 figures. Maul I think I can live without. If it was a regular storm trooper rather than a sand trooper, I'd be ready to buy it as well. I don't think we'll get any obscure characters for quite a while so I'll keep my list realistic.
1. Vader
2. Stormtrooper
3. Han
4. Chewie
5. C3PO
6. Leia from anh
7. Boba Fett
8. Scout trooper
9. Luke stormtrooper
10. Luke hoth
I'd really love to see some scaled accessories/beasts to go with these like speeder bikes, taun tauns, and a wampa, but I won't hold my breath.

I'd really like to see the Sandtrooper they're doing be accurate to the armor in ANH for Sandtroopers, which means notably different from the armor used for Stormtroopers in places like the knee, the hip boxes, and more.
Do you think this line is going to use soft-goods, cloth robes and such? I hope they are better quality than the last large-format figures with soft goods, the Mega Action line. The issue of soft-goods could affect my list, like where Obi-Wan would fit in, that sort of thing.
Anyway, I really don't have a wish list yet, just do this line right and I'll be tempted by most figures, plan it out so there's longevity rather than flopping early.Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

Boba Fett and Darth Vader are the main two I want. Having said that, the pic of the X-Wing Luke looks superb. If they are all that nice I may buy every friggin one.

Hmm, I'll be forcing myself not to pick all of these up, but how about ones I would conceivably buy?
*Jango Fett (shiny armor would look awesome)
*General Grievous (something similar to the TVC figure in terms of articulation, but in stronger plastic)
*Commander Cody
*Kit Fisto
*C-3PO (kind of depends on how R2-D2 looks)
*Darth Vader (if it's anywhere as good as the TVC ANH Vader, I'm sold)
I can't even post 10 since I shouldn't even be thinking of buying that many.
Also, a Plo Koon would look great in this line, but he's not exactly a hot seller after so many repacks in the basic line so I doubt we'll see him.
