Well, the future is looking quite bright for the average collector. With large toycompanies like Kenner and Galoob producing a large amount of Star Wars related items there is a lot to look forward to! To begin with the new Power of the Force figures that will arrive this christmas, figures like Greedo, Death Star Gunner, Sandtrooper, Attack R5-D4, Jawa 2-pack, Luke Stormtrooper, Blockade Runner Soldier, Tusken Raider, Hammerhead and an exclusive A-wing pilot (Only available with the A-wing vehicle though.)
The first line of Kenner's POTF2 figures (Darth Vader, Han Solo, R2-D2, Obi-Wan Kenobi, C-3PO e.t.c.) has been avalible now since early 1996 and the second line with figures like Lando Calrissian, Boba Fett and Tie-Fighter Pilot has been avalible since early summer this year. The Shadows of the Empire figures has just been released so Kenner is surley keeping us collectors happy.
In early 1996 there were rumours that some of the new POTF2 figures were discarded from the line of various reasons, and due to this these figures got an expensive price tag. Im talking of Kenner's Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker, but I can now safely confirm that this is not correct! What really happened was that Kenner didn't quite understand the enormous demand on the new figures, so it literally exploded in their faces resulting in that some of the figures disappeared from the market for a period time.
There is also a lot of interesting vehicles and playsets in the pipeline. Arriving soon in the stores are the A-wing (A-wing pilot free vith the ship), Rebel Snowspeeder with electronic sounds, Luke Skywalker's T-16 Skyhopper, An exclusive Speeder Bike with Princess Leia Figure, Boba Fett's Slave I, Swoop (with free Swoop rider) and Dash Rendar's Outrider
