Too bloody many clearly lol.
I'll be sticking to the OT for now. Can't justify preordering figures for a film I haven't even seen yet.

Not a dream- like HT producing IM armors with two seconds of screen time in IM3..HT might very well produce a gaggle of these guys eventually...
A few of those do look cool, but the majority look like PT backgrounders. The OT alien/background character designs (minus a few cantina aliens and some others) on the whole were a lot more interesting/cool than the PT designs, and were a lot better executed as masks/costumes.
There's a few alien/backgrounders I like in the PT, but it had a lot of this kind of design:
And a lot of this kind of quality of masks/costumes, which look like cosplayers at a Con, even the poorly done reboots of OT designs like these:
That TFA pic feels more PT level than OT level in both design and execution. The huge guy looks like a Farscape TV show alien.
I could see the big guy in the "middle" being a possibility at some point. He has the scum leader (i.e. Jabba) about him

Yeah would have liked to see a few classic aliens mixed in with the new ones. As it stands, they looks like something from some random sci fi tv series.

We'll probably get 300 kinds of Stormtrooper, give or take a hundred.

I'm actually digging the Mcquarrie-inspired protocol droid. I'd like a 1/6th scale version of that on my shelf.
I can't wait to see the Oscar Isaac sculpt.
True true. I forgot about the anthologies. At least that would give me breathing space to be selective with anthology figures.
I have very much been a completist with all releases from the main story line. A habit that is so hard to kick....
I'm in the same boat. Collected most PT and OT from Sideshow which brings on or around the 100 mark. Gonna have to draw a line somewhere quick or i may end up suffocating under a giant pile of plastic collectibles.
Time to sell. I'm toying with the idea myself. I have a lot of old Sideshow OT/PT that just don't hold up on the shelf anymore and I'd prefer to put that money towards stuff that will.
Down side is, not sure there's even a market for old Sideshow OT/PT. On the up side, since there's hardly anything PT being made (other than Maul), maybe those figures will get a better price during the surge of STAR WARS interest coming this Christmas. Might be a good time to unload.
Not a bad way to go
Yeah, i guess there are worse scenarios. Yet, i'd still pray for the plastic toxic fumes to knock me out before it gets too painfull
Not prepared to sell for my part. As a fan of all Star Wars eras, and still having some display space at my disposal, i think i'll be happy having figures from all trilogies standing on my shelves. I can't bring myself to consider parting with Bespin Han, Farmboy Luke or Leia even if better versions are on their way.
I used to be like that but I'm finding it harder and harder to keep collecting repeats. I'm no longer a collector, I'm a hoarder.
It's time to.... let go, Luke.
That said, I would not get rid of everything. In fact, despite those that label me a PT hater, I plan on getting the new SS Maul. So the old Maul should go to a new home. A home like WWEJedi's where he's wanted and fondled for hours and hours. Along with Qui-Gon, Plo Koon, Kit Fisto, ROTS Kenobi, any incarnation of Anakin, and Ki-Adi Mundi.
I'm fortunate enough to have multiple display "rooms" so it helps having the same character displayed multiple times without giving the impression my collection has too many of the same. Besides, i'm kind of a nostalgic collector. I put a lot of thoughts in each and every purchase meaning they are tied to specific occasions in my life. Some are gifts, others bought at events. In short, they are much more than fantastic toys in beautifully decorated boxes.
True. The nostalgic aspect is another reason I have a hard time parting. Each piece has a memory. Each piece is a time ago.
