    It's nice to see some of these but they've left off some of the most hard to get figures like Darth Malgus and Bastila Shan. Or what about the "online only" Republic Trooper and Imperial Guard? Those are the only two from that wave I can never find.

    I was in the middle of typing this and got pulled away from my desk... when I got back it was already posted.

    Looking at the US list, it's nice they're reissuing Starkiller, Shae, Gamoreans, but like you said, there's some glaring gems that aren't on their new list.

    All it would take is five minutes of internet research to see what the higher demanded figures are. Bastilla - Amazon - $65.

    Exactly. I know some companies don't reiusse super rare figures to not piss off collectors (scalpers) but is Hasbro gonna be like that? Where's the Solid Vision reiusse?

    I keep hearing about 3D printers. Maybe once they hit it big, Hasbro and companies like it will quit jerking around their customers with chase figures.

    It's a novel business concept: Customers want to buy a product, so you produce it and sell it to them. Not: customers want to buy a product, so you shortpack it to drum up interest in a number of fans, alienate others, and leave it to sharks to hoard and exploit the few remaining fans you have left.

    I really want a Shae and a Starkiller. I don't care about what style of card they're on. I figured Hasbro would re-release them eventually, but this news is a quicker turnaround than I expected.

    I wasn't counting on them hitting Ross for another 10 months or so...

    I'm glad that I'll get another shot at EP V Han Solo (Bespin), I never even saw one the 1st go around...

    Maybe now the scalper prices will go down & I'll be able to get Shae. Hasbro really needs to STOP feeding the ebay/amazon scalpers constantly.

    There's a few on that list I'd love to have another crack at (Starkiller and DS Luke), especially since I never saw them once around here during their initial releases. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come and is continued and carried over into other Hasbro lines.

    MU Vision, Mary Jane...

    There's too much to get into it here, but that's not Hasbro's business model nor is it the reasoning behind certain figures being shortpacked.

    So wait...is the vintage line over? I haven't kept up with Star Wars in a few months, and I'm glad to hear about a rerelease of Galen Marek and Shae, but I was more interested in finding out what may come out in 2013, and this article makes it seem like they're reviving the line instead of continuing it.

    Unless I am mistaken the Vintage Line is in "hiatus" in 2013 with these re-releases to cover 2013 and then new product from 2014.

    It is on hiatus but I don't know if they've set a return date. Could be quite some time.
