I hate Phantom Menace even more than I used to.

I'll be getting Darth Maul...I love him. Hasbro has already stated the black series six inch are going to be core characters, so I don't expect a ton of prequel figures, but then again, I'm not a prequel hater. All I see are six Star Wars films, and I love them all.

[Werewolf]

Love or hate the prequels there's no denying the damage the unrelenting focus on the prequels and prequel products have done to the popularity of SW and the SW brand. PM3D has just about killed SW at retail. In my opinion, adding prequel figures to the 6 inch $20 adult collector line isn't the best idea when people aren't buying the characters at $10.

[Trappy Trek Freak]

Man why don't they Mego size SW figures that would kick arse!!!!

[toys2cool]

I love PM so seeing it's stuff is cool...But I come across so many star wars figures loose at the thrift shop that if I wait long enough I could probably complete a set I just really haven't gotten into it yet, so I pass on most of the stuff

Well, you're sure in luck then. The PM3D figures that have been glutting the pegs at Walmart for over a year now are beginning to hit discount stores like 5 below in en masse. Insuring that we will be drowning in PM for years to come. Please buy some of it, lol.

$20 young Obi, Qui Gon and Anakin are going to move even slower than the $10 ones glutting the pegs right now.

I would buy an Epidode 3 Obi-Wan, I'd admit; however, the only Anakin I'd ever get is only once he's post-surgery Darth Vader. Couldn't be less enthused about Qui-Gon. Any padawan versions of characters are an instant pass. I'd buy Jaxxon the green rabbit dude from the Marvel comics before I'd get a padawan Obi-Wan figure, no question. Like you're saying, we need farmboy Luke, Han, ANH Leia, and Chewie way, way before we need any Ep. 1 figure. IMO, we should be getting Bespin and Hoth versions before we get to a single I-III figure. Not giving people what they want is a good way to end the line quickly, if that's what they're looking for.

You're really fired up about this, Werewolf! Makes for some fun reading.

The prices of the SW 3 3/4" figures are insane! They go for $9+.

[Red Hulk]

Well I guess the Jabba SailBarge that was being pettitioned won't be happening.

[Werewolf]

Lol, yah. It's just so ridiculous and frustrating. Checked out yet another Walmart last night. Again, nothing but Phantom Menace. Rugrat Anakin, young Obi, Qui Gon, etc.

Like Figuremod73 said, people couldn't collect classic trilogy if they wanted to. The pegs are absolutely mercilessly glutted with the prequels. Forget finding Luke, Han, Leia, 3PO, etc. It's an absolute windfall if you come across a single Colonel Cracken or Dr Evazan every four or five months. It's crazy.

There £9 GBP here lol

Went to my local TRU just like you guys over there,it's just PM and Clone Wars stuff clogging up the shelves,oh I did see Dengar and a Cloud Car Pilot but the cards have were trashed,the isle used to be rammed with SW toys but now it's pityful just a little end isle and shelf,I asked when they may get some new vintage trilogy toys in but the guy I spoke to did not know if they were getting anything else in,the last thing to come in was the vintage trilogy AT-AT but that's way over priced.

I spend more time in the Lego and Dr Who sections now.

I would never pay retail for those lol...I have a ton of troopers I picked up within the last couple of weeks, not sure why I get them. i just hate leaving them there lol

[toys2cool]

I've left tons of stuff but this is what I've picked up in the last couple of weeks..all this for $20...I know these are not PM but just an example that maybe you guys can find some in thrift shops

[Werewolf]

I can see a Hasbro Greedo, Hasbro X-Wing Luke and a Kenner Rebel Soldier Hoth Battle Gear (neat!) but other than that it looks like all prequel and Clone Wars.

[Red Hulk]

I was gonna mention the Rebel Soldier as well. There's also some GiJoes a StormShadow and a ROC Ice-Viper.

[Figuremod73]

I found Darth Vader and r2d2 at Kroger! First OT figures Ive found in a long time.
