[QUOTE="SublevelStudios, post: 486336, member: 5051"] I used to collect them years ago, in fact my very first sales thread on SWFUK nearly 6 years ago was for these figures. I'd had enough of them and was shifting all my modern stuff to concentrate on vintage. They are a very cool product and some of them are amazing - the Power Droid was my favourite. BUT some of them are pretty crap, GG can't even get the scaling/sculpting right in some instances and don't even get me started on some of the capes. I used to display mine loose because the packaging is pretty **** IMO. The blisters damage and scuff so easily and they're a bitch to display and keep dust free. They should have done the packaging like the old 12" style boxes - this would have reduced the space it demands to display and also covered 2 vintage lines in one. I also think they're over priced for what they are. When you can buy a Jakks figure twice the size and more articulation for less than half the cost it's clear GG are just looking to rinse their customers - they should be no more than $40 or have a low numbered release for what they charge.
