Celebrate the Saga

Will consist of 8 multi-packs which include a mix of previously released 5 points of articulation (PoA) figures along with some new droids which either haven’t been done before, OOM-10 and TC-4, or haven’t been done in the realistic style such as R7-A7. The sets will be available for a limited time and in limited quantities and once they’ve move out of retail  they’ll be put in the “vault.” All of the figures use the updated face printing technology.
