In the last few days I've gotten several SS Star Wars figures that I had initially passed on (two of the Endor troopers, the Dajarik Chess Set, and Asajj Ventress). For various reasons, these figures didn't really excite me as much as the others, but I was able to get them for around $30 apiece, so I decided to go for it.
Now I have all of the released figures with the exception of the "cubicle trooper" and I have all of the upcoming figures preordered except for Ilum Padme. I was wondering which figures you guys have skipped. Now, obviously this question is aimed mostly at the people who have a large number of SS Star Wars figures. If you only have one or two, it's not going to be very useful to tell us that you've skipped the entire rest of the line, but if you have almost all of them, I'd be interested to know which you didn't buy and why. I'll start.
Ones I just bought recently because they were cheap
Endor troopers: They didn't really say "Star Wars" to me. They looked more like normal military figures. But I got a good deal on them and they look good with my Hasbro speederbikes.
Dajarik Chess Set: This seemed kind of like an accessory waiting for a figure, since there aren't any figures that fit perfectly with it. It's fairly well done, but is unlikely to blow anyone away. It does look pretty nice with my Hasbro cantina band.
Asajj Ventress: I skipped her just because I didn't know the character, but now that I've seen Clone Wars, I decided to get her when I found a good deal. She's nice.
Ones that I am skipping unless I find VERY good deals on them:
Endor "Cubicle Trooper": His head just doesn't look like something you'd see in Star Wars.
Ilum Padme: The outfit just doesn't translate well into a realistic design, and while the face sculpt would be good in another context, I don't think it works very well with the figure.
I kind of wish that I had skipped Yavin Luke and Holographic Sidious as well.
