We're down to our last four posts celebrating the release of Star Wars on Blu-Ray. It's been an enjoyable process so far, and we hope you're all enjoying reading as much as we are posting.
There's a lot going on in The Saga Collection which incorporated much of 2006. So much so that it can be a rather overwhelming set to compile. The easiest way to approach this collection is to break it down into the following categories and sub categories;
1) Basic Figures
A) Blue Pack Ins
B) Red Pack Ins
2) Galactic Hunt
3) Heroes and Villains
4) Greatest Battles
5) Vintage
6) Exclusive Figures
7) Battle Packs
8) Vehicles
A) Regular
B) Repacks
C) Exclusives

GALACTIC HUNT FIGURES
Galactic Hunt figures were nothing more than repacked figures from The Saga Collection that came with a silver figure stand, a pewter holographic pack in (exactly the same as the red and blue versions), all packed on a foil card. Despite Hasbro trying to create some form of false rarity amongst these figures, they remain easy to find, and relatively cheap on the secondary market.

Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker, Yoda, Commander Bacara
Clone Trooper, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan Kenobi
Mace Windu, R2-D2, Destroyer Droid

Where is the Imperial Stormtrooper (Hoth Battle Gear) figure from this collection? I thought he was also a part of it...

Looks like we goofed and put the Vintage Collection Stormtrooper from the Original Trilogy Collection in its place. Thanks for pointing that out. We have made the correction.
