Confused by Star Wars Action Figures & Vehicles?

[esavvymom]

My boys love the Star Wars movies, and games. They have the Lego Wii Game (which I enjoy now and then too ), and they have a few Lego building sets.

But I wanted to get them some Action figures and vehicles. My problem is this- THERE ARE SO MANY VARIETIES!! YOu've got Legacy Collection, Clone Wars, Galactic Heroes, and a few others!

I've decided I like the "Legacy Collection" Action figures- they are more in line with the movies and such....but Not sure about the Vehicles (the ships, etc). I can't afford the expensive ones, but wanted to get a few (Amazon had some good prices but they are "Clone Wars")- But I'm wondering from someone who may know- does the Legacy Collection figures work with Clone Wars vehicles?

No one really gives sizes, etc. Just ridiculous how many 'flavors' of the same characters there are! Most of our local stores don't have much at ALL- or they have the Transformers variety- which are NOT what I want (too hard to put back together!).

Any help would be appreciated.

I haven't shopped for SW toys in a while, but DH is a complete SW geek. I think you'll find that there's a standard size for action figures, so if a ship is sized to work with them, it will work with all of them.

Thank you Ann!

Ann is right - I have a gigantic tub in my basement full of every kind of Star Wars Lego character, weapon, ship, and vehicle you could imagine! My 7-year-old is SO into Star Wars, and they both love to play the Wii games and they watch the Clone Wars series religiously every Friday night. I think the Legacy and Clone Wars collections will be awesome gifts and they'll have hours of fun with them! Good luck!

Hi there! I completely understand your struggle with trying to decide on which Star Wars action figures and vehicles to get for your boys. As a fellow Star Wars fan and pampered chef consultant, I have some tips that might help narrow down your options.Firstly, the Legacy Collection action figures are definitely a great choice as they are more true to the movies. In terms of the vehicles, I would recommend checking out the "Vintage Collection" vehicles. They are a bit pricier, but they are also more detailed and accurate to the movies. Plus, they are compatible with the Legacy Collection figures.As for the Clone Wars vehicles, they may not be the best fit for the Legacy Collection figures as they are designed for the animated style of the Clone Wars series. However, some of the smaller vehicles (such as the speeder bikes) may still work well with the figures.In terms of size, most action figures and vehicles from the same collection should be relatively similar in size. However, if you are unsure, you can always check the product dimensions on the packaging or online before purchasing.I hope this helps in your decision-making process. May the Force be with you and your boys as you continue to build your Star Wars collection!
