When I read about the new line of Star Wars figures coming out this year called "The Black Series" I was only really interested in getting the first in the new series to collect and display. I was in our local Fred Meyer's store the other day and saw all the new black series figures. I'm really impressed with the amount of detail that is going into these. I picked up Luke Skywalker #01... I had to... I've been a lifetime Star Wars fan and remember playing with the old original 1970's version Star Wars toys when I was a kid. I like how this new line of toys is a little bigger than the old school figures. So far I've seen the Darth Maul, R2-D2, and Imperial Sand Trooper figures... a really cool series. I might pick up the Sand Trooper one of these days... the stormtrooper outfit has wear and tear from being in a harsh dessert environment... it looks so cool.... I don't know if these will be worth something someday, but even if they are not I like them for what they are....
