Still like the POTF2 stuff because its what I grew up with but I agree compared to some of the other modern stuff its bad.

I feel compelled to chime in here. There is good in the modern line, I feel the conflict within it 
Joking aside, there are some good 'sub-lines'. The shadows of the empire stuff from the POTF2 line is great and it was responsible for giving us the first comic 2 pack sets. Which jumps me forward 10+ years to the comic 2 pack line, simply awsome, fantastic run of 60+ offerings ranging from OT to EU with the odd Prequils thrown in, they look stunning as a full set.
The Vintage Original Trilogy sub-line is great, 20 odd figures that look fantastic and the Lucas Trooper to finish it off is lovely, obviously they are the template for the full vintage line that came along a few years later, in itself that is a nice line.
I love the disney crossover/parody sets, quirky and fun and some nice exclusives.
The lego sets coming out now are stunning and getting better and better. Expensive, yes, but given the quality and the playability (yes these are meant to be built and played with) you will struggle to find better peice per pence ratio for a toy and you know in 20 years the value will have held and the toys will be just as solid as the day they rolled off the production line.
Personally, I liked the power of the jedi line, it gave us some nice new figures and some great ships.
After that there are a slew of exclusives and convention sets that look nice. But for all that there is a lot of average to poor out there.

Except for the Disney and parody stuff :?
I have never gone for that type of thing, as popular as it is.

db94 said:Grinchy - love your collection of astro droids
seen at least two R2D2s in your display that are well up on my want list
Cheers,
gotta love those little guys! another line i recently finished was the silver anniversary line, a nice gimmick
finished with this guy, i had to get him twice as the sabre had damaged after the first time, not the smartest idea they had to have the sabre outside the packaging
Nice Grinchy
The Droids look great as well.
I love MR sabres and helmets
Hot Toys
Kotobukiya
Like the Black Series
SOTE run
Like everything else, there is a lot of crap but some lines are gems.
Not got into the Lego, although some look cool
Quite like the Kubricks as well
Like that Bantha
