Here's what I have so far:
Aotc figures: Anakin / Padme / Obi-Wan / Yoda
RotS Figures: Grievous / Chewbacca (with the Wookiee shield plain ) / Vader (IMO this is more of a RotJ pose but the case said RotS)
ANH figures: Han (running up the Falcon's ramp)
ESB figures: Luke (Snowspeeder pilot) / Vader
RotJ figures: Boba Fett / Luke / Emperor Palpatine
EU figures: Asajj Ventress

At this point I think that I've got all of the figures that anyone will find in stores. Unless LFL does another run of re-released figures like they have with this bunch I'm going to have to do my hunting online. Although if you happen to see something let me know and I would gladly pay a bounty for such a find grin .

Dang, too bad I wasn't aware of what you needed. About 2 months ago I decided to seel off all of my Unleashed. Had a few that are not on your list too like the Red Clone and Slave Leia.

All I have left are Hoth Luke and AOTC Yoda. sad

No worries Mike. I had a chance to pick those up from you around Christmas time and passed doh! . I'm just going to keep my eyes open at some of the local toy stores and flea markets. I'm probably going to go to the flea market up in Derry, NH this weekend, so I'll start there wink . I also went to one of the online toys shops and found a bunch of the less popular figures at decent prices ($15-$23), so I can resort to that if needed.

The last thing I was planning on doing this weekend was a little 'Merry Christmas to me' shopping, but I just couldn't resist. I was in Walmart the other day and while buzzing through the toy section a saw a Shocktrooper:Unleashed figure! I almost walked right by it and nearly pulled a hammy stopping to pick it up. I've got to start making more room for these things.

Wow, you found one still on the pegs? That's pretty amazing. I though about picking one of those up until I realized that it's just a repaint of the AOTC Clonetrooper with a badly sculpted helmet.

It wasn't really on the pegs per-say, it was on the bottom shelf barely in view as I walked by. I almost missed it altogether but the packaging, which was badly mangled, caught my eye. The figure itself was still in good shape so I snagged it.
I see your point Mike about the redo of the AotC clone, but it's still kinda cool to look at. It's one of the few in my collection (IMO) that truly looks like it was a pose taken straight from the movies.

Have you seen the new wave of the large scaled Unleashed? They're rereleasing the Obi and Anakin ROTS figures with new paint jobs as well as a rerelease of the Stormtrooper one repainted as a BHS.

By 'large scale' Unleashed do you mean the 8"+ size figures or is there a new line of figures that's even bigger than before?

Yeah, I mean the 7"-8" scale ones as opposed to the Unleashed 'mini' scaled battle packs.

That's what I thought but I just wanted to make sure. I'm running out of room for these things as it is and don't think I'd be able to keep up with something bigger than the standard size figures. I also found some more through Amazon.com. Most of them are out of circulation, so their prices go between $30-80.

If anyone out there stumbles across a deal on the SideShow 12" Obi-Wan, let me know ASAP.
Much thanks!

UPDATE: Got my Obi-Wan at a decent price. grin

I'm not a hardcore collector by any means, but I thought I'd give a site I've become aware of a plug here, since it deals with collecting. It's called AllTroops.com, and they offer an array of free tools to allow you to manage your collection from any computer with an Internet connection. You need to become a member of the site in order to use the tools, but that membership is also free (they run a store to support the site). There's a description of all of the tools in the "About" section of the site if you want to give it a look before you join. grin

I stopped into my local Walmart last night and hit the lottery! I picked up the Anakin and Obi-Wan (RotS versions) and the re-painted Stormtrooper as a ShadowTrooper, which IMO looks good in black. I already ran out of room the last time I picked up a few of these guys and now I have 3 more w/o a place for them. I should have grabbed a shelf while I was there doh! .
