[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 486671, member: 7379"] Great set, Andy! Thanks for posting. As for why they weren't released over here (at least I think they weren't; I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong!), I don't know the answer, but I do know the line failed to perform to Kenner's expectations / hopes, so it's possible that affected the decision, especially if they were 'trialing' them in the US first. According to Sansweet's 'Star Wars: From Concept to Screen to Collectible', the line failed due to kids not liking the pre-posed figures which limited playability, and many parents resented what they saw as attempt to get them to buy new toys that weren't compatible with all the others they'd already shelled out for.
