There was a time when I collected SW stuff pretty actively. That stopped after TPM came out. I just lost all interest at that point. And now, they just keep releasing and re-releasing toys and collectibles ten times over...same shit in a different package. And how many variations of a single figure are really necessary? They just slap the Star Wars name on anything today. This list of products is really embarrassing, and I don't think they sell too well given the mountain of SW crap I've seen in discount bins in recent years. The quality of the toys has really gone south, and the prices are insane when you compare what a SW figure costs versus a McFarlane figure or something. Just a shameful ripoff. I haven't purchased a Star Wars collectible in about seven years, and I got rid of most of the more recent junk, keeping only that which I grew up with, and some cool props (not MR) like lightsabers and blasters that I tracked down the original parts for and built over the years.
