    Let's try and keep it semi realistic here.
    I would like to see:
    A generic SA Jedi figure with a couple variations
    A (carded) SA Asajj Ventress from Clone Wars (in realistic style)
    At least one playset of (almost) any type, just not a reissue of the Mustafar one. Geonosis, maybe.

    How about all of you?

    Unleashed Qui-Gon, Battle Droid, Ki-Adi, Grievous' bodyguard, AT-ST driver, Bespin Luke, Clone Marine, Royal Guard, Kit Fisto and Old Ben Kenobi. I'd also like a statue of Vader on the slab, burned and being reassembled.

    I'm probably alone on this one, but I'd like to see more of the expanded universe figures. I really like the figures of charectors you don't see often, instead of the same main charectors OVER AND OVER again. (Luke, Han, Princess Leia, etc.) I loved those charectors like everybody else, but they really over due it, when there are so many other charectors in the star wars universe. I wish they'd make a new improved Grand Admiral Thrawn figure. He's my all time favorite charector, and he wasn't even in any of the movies. The bigger unleashed line was awesome, and I wish they'd pursuit that more, there are plenty more charectors that can be done, some of which were listed above in another post. Not sure if the titanium ship series is hasbro, but I am very impressed with that line (my place is over run with them!) and I hope they keep it going. I see they might be doing a V-Wing in the near future, and I wish they'd make Tinn's Starfighter, since now I've seen the bigger toy version of it that's coming out.

    I've seen pictures of some of the new waves of figures coming out, and I can say I am somewhat impressed. I love the RM Concept series that's coming out, escpecially Boba Fett and his two helmets. It sounds like the Darth Vader one will be one of the best. I also see that they are coming out with Clone Commander Alpha, which I'm really happy to see. I've kind of gotten into collecting the Clone Commanders, and am looking forward to maybe a Commander Fox figure as well.

    I admit I haven't bought a lot of star wars figures lately. The ones I have bought are like General Dodonna, General Veers, etc. The ones you don't see to often. I just usually see a lot of peg warmers, which are usually the same old main charectors. But the titanium line has held my interest in star wars collecting. Maybe with some of these new 2007 waves, my interest in the figures will be revitalized.

    Be happy for the EU two packs then. Quinlan Vos is getting made, along with another guy who's name I forget, then, like you said, Alpha is getting a figure. Plus Mara Jade, and I read somewhere that in one of the remaining EU two packs we will be getting a new Grand Admiral Thrawn.

    I don't get to buy many figures, but I know that I am very happy that Quinlon Vos and Revan are coming.

    I would like to see more EU Jedi and Sith from all eras. Maybe a Lumiya or heck I know he's new but why not have a wave just for the Legacy comics? A Zayne Carrick figure would be cool. Just more EU figures. I agree they are overdoing the main characters a bit. That's why I started to focus my money on the comics and books instead of buying the same figures over and over again.

    I've been asking for Playsets for a long time now, and Hasbro's response has always been "no." Now that I think about it, I don't really want a play set in the traditional sense. What I want, and perhaps I'm not alone, is a display set of some kind. I want something that allows me to display my figures in various locations on the Death Star. Perhaps a better Carbon Freezing Chamber, or a Bespin Gantry where Luke and Vader can be posed. I want a great backdrop of Mustafar, or Geonosis for my figures to be displayed on.

    I think the best solution would be along the lines of the vintage Land of the Jawas, Land of Hoth, or the Rebel Base playsets. These were not much more than plastic stands with a cardboard backdrop, but I think modern versions could be cool.

    Imagine taking this, turning it into a Mustafar background with lava river and embankment instead of desert sand.

    Yeah, I'd take some cardboard type playsets... I'd love to have some Bespin themed ones, especially the Bespin control room (Where Luke is sucked through the window). I think those would be a very feasible idea.

    I'd like to see the Ralph McQuarrie/Joe Johnston idea expanded to include concept vehicles, but since Hasbro is hesitant to do vehicles in general this one falls more under the umbrella of a fantasy.

    You could always make a backdrop if you ever tire of waiting for Hasbro to make one.
    And I'm with Obi Anne, I want more Padme figures.

    A new Death Star playset similar to the vintage version would be nice.

    If you are careful in opening it, this comes with a pretty good cardboard playset/ diorama I am using as... well, we type. At this point, you would have to buy it online.

    I know! I don't have the Dagobah X-wing, but I do save my Battlepack backgrounds. It's the closest we're gonna get to those old sets, but without the cool floors.

    I stated this is a different board, but I'd like to see an Ep. III Anakin Skywalker with a decent headsculpt and no action feature. The III-02 Figure has a great head, but that stupid "squeeze my legs to move my arms" feature, and the Evolutions figure is multi-jointed but has a terrible head. More Clone Troopers is a given, but they seem to be making up for it in present/future waves. A decent Padme (ala Episode II) would be nice.

    Did anyone else get those Jedi Council sets that included the chairs and a decent backdrop? They were pretty nice. I'd like to see the councils from the rest of the PT.

    Perhaps a re-release of Anakin's Clone Wars Azure Angel?

    Repaints of other squads of Commandos.

    Sort of on topic, I?d like to see Hasbro get the rights to ?Indiana Jones? and give the Kenner ?The adventures of Indiana Jones? line the VOTC/VTSC/VTAC treatment.

    And an updated Luke in his ?Hoth? X-Wing pilots uniform would be nice too :D.

    More Padme figures. There are so many costumes from all three films that we've yet to see. New 7" Unleashed (I second the request for Qui-Gon)!

    My holy grail would be a Sha'a Gi figure, because my custom one isn't cutting it.
    (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sha%27a_Gi)


    More clonetroopers in the Cato Nemoida colors.

    I want Hasbro to make action figures for Admiral Ackbar and Nien Nunb. We havent seen any new figures of them since 10 years ago for the Power of the Force 2 line.

    Plus the rancor keeper that needs to be updated also

    Anything BUT another Vader, Tatooine Luke, ANH Solo, etc.

    More non-jedi.
    More Imp officers.
    More EU characters (How about the entire Rogue & Wraith squadrons)
    Nothing invented by Kevin J Anderson
    Nothing invented by Troy Denning


    I think it's pretty funny that it took nearly 8 years for them to make a Sith Infiltrator ship.

    Playsets--and make them 1/2 way decent (unlike that carbon freeze chamber) and readily available (again, unlike that carbon freeze chamber).

    No more (explitive) exclusives!!!
    Even distribution (No "West Coast gets boxes 1,2,6, while East Coast gets 3,4,&5" excrement)
    Also, no more messed up packaging (2As, 2Bs, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F, 2G, 2H)

    Cloth capes & cloaks. No more vacuum-formed Vinyl.

    No more twist ties or rubber bands. Remember how the original figures were packaged? There was a blister pack with a piece of folded cardboard at the bottom, and a piece of scotch tape holding the gun or club or lightsaber on the side. THAT'S IT!

    No more wussy-legs. The battledroids' shins bent easily, and were a PITA to straighten. Same with a couple of Padme' figs.

    Cost: $7-12 per fig is a bit much, IMNSHO. Remember, these are kids' toys. If the 20-somethings want a scupture, that's what the "Unleashed" line is for. The original figures sold for ~$3-4. Granted, there's inflation to factor in, but still...

    A TV Show!
    Remember what made the G.I.Joe line sell? It wasn't just the better articulation, it was also the 20-minute cartoons on every day as 3:30. I'd be willing to put up with a mediocre cartoon if it would keep interest running. Transformers: Beastwars had a pretty decent storyline, with a lot of references to the cheezy original G1 cartoon, so it would be possible to do it well, even under hasbro's supervision, without making it the "official" SW tv show that Lucas says he wants made. (so he can collect royalties from the spinoffs and merchandizing)
