I will be drawing the second round in just a few moments then the first four knockout matches will then be ready for voting on.
The five highest point scorers from their groups were;
=1. Imperial Stormtrooper (Hoth Battle Gear) 60 points
=1. Emperors Royal Guard 60 points
3. Chewbacca 57 points
4. R2-D2 56 points
5. Darth Vader 55 points
Read into this what you like, it may be that these had easier groups or maybe more members voted on these groups but last years runner up tops the point tally and with last years champion being defeated in its group by Boba Fett the Hoth Stormie may fancy its chances.
interesting from the 32 left in that only 7 of the first 12 figures are left in after Princess Leia Organa, Stormtrooper, Tusken Raider, Obi-Wan Kenobi and C-3P0 were all eliminated.
From the Four Separate lines of figures that were released (with figures on original release cards) the qualifiers fall into these categories.
Star Wars Release - 12
Empire Release - 14
Jedi Release - 5
Power of the Force Release - 1
the Empire and Star Wars lines look to be the popular ranges and Imperial Gunner is the sole figure left in from the Power of the Force run.
I'm off to do the Second Round Draw.
