Summary: "You are part of the Rebel Alliance, & a Traitor!"
Date: 2004-07-18 - 
Comment: I saw the new retro-figures yesterday in my local store and instantly snatched them up (I paid nowhere near the 10.99 price for each, though).The Princess Leia figure is a new resculpt,& comes with the trademark white gown (made of cloth), bun hair-do and her laser pistol she used at the beginning of "Star Wars". The figure card has the retro-image from the 12 back card with a new "historical" back to it (also, lists the other 11 figures that go with the full set). The figure is housed in a protective plastic case with the "Star Wars" logo in raised letters on the back. As for people pis*ing & moaning about the price, grow-up & stop being such a tightwad. We all know you bought the figure & are happy with the purchase. Unless, you want to shell out the big bucks & try to get the 78-79 original.

Summary: $10.99 for a new figure?
Date: 2004-07-14 - 
Comment: Normally, SW figures are $4.99-$5.99. This is a SW figure packed in a pseudo-Star Case, which isn't worth anywhere near an extra $5. Toy collecting is doomed to repeat the mistakes of the comic book industry, little by little.With that said, the unpunched card repro is cool for someone who has never seen it before or had an original carded figure when they were younger. However, the nostalgia wears off rather quickly. Be aware that the figures are not the original casts and the card back is different, previewing the re-release line. Kind of spoils the fun.

Summary: It's 1977 all over again!!!
Date: 2004-07-10 -
Comment: In case anybody is unclear as to which Leia figure this is(since there is no picture), this is the VINTAGE re-release. Although the figure itself is a new sculpt, the front of the card is a replica of the 1977 Star Wars Liea cardback. Right down to the "coffin style" plastic bubble, to the company name Kenner. Yes, instead of Hasbro the package says Kenner. There are only a few differences from the original package. Most notable is the back side of the card which tells about the re-releases and shows some of the upcoming releases. This is a must have for the die hard collector. I'm shocked at the rate new Star Wars figures sell out, and very surprised that this LIMITED EDITION figure has been in stock for a week and a half now. Don't miss out on one of the best S.W. toys released since 1985.
