The next set of 2-packs from the collector unfriendly Star Wars Mission Series line have been revealed. There will be a Mission Series Bespin – Luke Skywalker vs Darth Vader and Mission Series Utapau – Obi-Wan Kenobi vs General Grievous sets. These are figures that feature the retro style five points of articulation. Andrew’s Toys has posted the first photos.

Star Wars Missions Series Luke vs Vader and Obi-Wan vs Grievous
Hmmmmmm, just more dust collecting, peg warming, worthless boring figures! Gee, thanks Hasbro for giving us more of the same stuff for the last DECADE!
The people making the decisions at Hasbro these days are accountants. Maximize profits by cutting costs as much as possible.
WoW!!! this is Complete Crap, considered that HASBRO is aiming intirely on the younger audience--- and for many reasons the adult collector is what made the STAR WARS figures what it is today--- well except for the t-crotch five points of articulation piece of crap figure you see here.
It's funny how Hasbro seems to make both super Articulation figures for the "BLACK SERIES" and making crappy figures--- you go HASBRO or shall i say HASBEEN!!!!
These sell quite well around here. For the price, and two figures, parents scoop them up for their kids. Not bad for troop building if we get a Stormtrooper 2 pack. Get lots of those and just have them standing at attention infront of the Emperor.
Collectors are getting fully articulated figures and budget conscious parents have the option for lower priced figures of the popular characters. One doesn't preclude the other. The same characters are or will be available in both styles. If anything, these non-collector lines simply funnel money back into the property to allow for the collector lines to keep going side-by-side.
Luke, I am your....wait, is that the boots you're wearing? What, did you just come from Filenes Basement? Seriously, the 60s called and they want their boots back. Know what? Just forget I ever said anything. It's not like I've got my skirt on here or anything.
The only mission should be the one to avoid these.
Scene 3: Obi-Wan shoots Grievous with blaster.... but wait, there's no blaster.
So uncivilized.
I'd pick these up. If they were part of the 'Dollar General Star Wars' subline.
