There's nothing we haven't seen before, but some of them are quite recent and exclusive to some Cinema Scenes.



Notable figures:
Nien Nunb and Lando from the 2009 Costco-exclusive Falcon
Anakin's Spirit and 'Endor Princess' Leia from the 2009 Endor Celebration set
Lt Thire from the last 2009 wave of 2-packs




Notable figures:
General Lando from the Costco-exclusive Falcon again
Anakin's Spirit from the Endor Celebration set again
Dack from the Snowspeeder set




Notable figures:
Endor soldier from Costco-exclusive Falcon
Yoda's spirit from the Endor Celebration set
Wicket was for the longest time a very hard to find figure because he was only released during the Playskool Fast Through The Forest set in 2002, but he was finally rereleased in the Endor Celebration set


I hope that helps!  :)

Thanks for the help its appreciated. Not bought any GH 2 packs since the Mouse Droid wave and the last cinema we got was medal ceremony so im rusty on new releases. I plan on getting back to GH once SHS and Joe's are as up to date as they can be.

I wish i had bid on them. chances of me seeing a 'costco' Falcon is probably slim in England :)

These were from a  HK seller i bought from recently so i will keep my eyes open for more and will be sure to ask any questions in plenty of time in the future.

Another question - I had thought i had a pretty complete collection of SHS figs until i went through the Rumor Buster checklists 'properly' and discovered just how many variants there are (40+ spideys) Is it the same for GH ?? I know we have piles of Lukes but they are all visibly different figures.

Just wanted to ask what i might be getting back into :)

There are definitely repaints of many figures, especially when they are first released in 2-packs and then later reused in the Cinema Scenes.  Of course, sometimes they are just straight repacks, but often there are subtle changes in paint apps.

will give you an idea, though it's not completely finished since I still have a number of Cinema Scenes from 2009 to go through and compare.

How many hours do you think you spent putting your list together ? or do you not really want to think about it ;) Awesome work !

Just a quick browse at your list tells me i will have plenty of work to do if i decide to try to get a complete set of GH ! As a rule if i could pick up a cinema scene which had missing figures from earlier 2 packs i went that way. Should have guessed there would be slight changes but i wasnt as into collecting then as i am now :)

What would you say were the hardest figures to find ? I recall paying a fair bit for Qui-Gon at auction but its been a long time since i looked.
Even if i am not back on these 100% yet i wouldn't want to miss anything rare that pops up due to ignorance.

Cheers

Personally, the hardest figures to find have been the Commander Bly wave from 2008.  That wave never made it to Canada, or at least not locally, so I'm still looking for Bly / Aayla and Bacara / Ki-Ad-Mundi.  Gree / Tarfful were rereleased in the Battle on Kashyyyk set and Agen Kolar / Saesee Tiin were repacked recently.

Makes you wonder what Hasbro are up to sometimes. Canada didnt get the ones you mention but got wave 3 CH when no-one else did. UK generally dont get too much of anything (that im interested in anyway) but got SW/SI. Far East got SSTD/WSS and North America got none of them. Weird or what.

It gives us something to whine about and work for which makes it all the more satisfying when you finally get your goodies.

Do you open or keep boxed ?? I saw a Gree/Tarfful 2 pack yesterday. Happy to keep a look out here for the others if the shipping wouldnt put you off. Bacara/Ki-Ad-Mundi is on Ebay.com now actually - couldnt resist having a quick look ;)

SSTD/WSS?
What's that?
I'm probably going to feel very stupid when I read the answer.

Don't feel too bad.  It took me a while to figure it out too.  We're just not used to calling them that.

I'm definitely an opener these days, I ran out of room for the carded figures.  So I'm not worried about finding Gree/Tarfful in their 2-pack format, but thanks a million for the offer!

The guy on ebay has them listed like the package does as Mandalorian Warrior & Pre Vizsla Figure. I loved them on the Star Wars the Clone Wars. I wish they would have made a cinema scene with them. There were more than ample characters they could have use to make one.
