That new AT-AT is so cool.  I'd love to get it, but have no idea where I could fit it in my collection display room.  Of course, I said that about the awesome new Millennium Falcon from a couple years ago & my wife still surprised me with it for my birthday last year! (Un)surprisingly enough, I was miraculously able to find a place for it...

Also, the new basic action figures on the vintage repro cards are awesome.  They've really upped the ante on the detail & paint aps.  I've got Dengar, Hoth Leia, & Boba Fett & they are easily some of the best figures Hasbro has made.  I did do a little custom work on Boba though.  His cape was a little long so I trimmed that & then he has a removable helmet with a clone face underneath.  The nose & face make the helmet fit a little funky (& I hate the "official" Fett origin anyway) so I shaved the face off & now the helmet fits perfect & looks great.

I also think the new mail away figure is so awesome.  I haven't sent off for it yet, but it's a repro of the vintage 80's Boba Fett figure, only this time it really DOES come with a firing rocket pack!

Here's some pics of my fett after my tweaks.  I didn't take any before pics, but maybe I can find some from someone else...

And here's a pic from rebelscum where you can sorta see the "nose bump" in the helmet.  It was much more obvious in person.  (this pic is actually a previous release, but it's the same figure and the current version suffers the same nose bump in the helmet)
