I've deleted the "era" names from the top tens. It seems to be creating confusion as to what's eligible each round... :confused:

I know someone talked about how we used to do Top Tens for individual movies/show (which I'd be all for), but with so much media out, especially on TV, it's hard. We'd be having new rounds every month. What I have thought about doing for each round is (for example the current prequel): List your Top Ten for each of the movies, then your Top Ten for the trilogy.

It would definitely be more accounting work for me, but it would be interesting to what people want from each source.

Since it took a while for us to post the current (the New Republic) Top Ten going on the front page, I'm going to extend the deadline out to the 15th, but I will start the next one (The Sequel Trilogy) today.

Sorry I haven't tallied the Creatures Top Ten yet. Life has been pretty busy. Thanks for understanding.

Since we didn't get Vehicles posted on the main page until mid-month, I'm going to wait a while to count the votes! So, if you haven't already posted a list (checked it twice), feel free to do so. I've also posted the new Playsets Top Ten. Check it out!

Do you mean carded sets like the Heir to the Empire 3-pack, or "Special Action Figure Sets" like the Shriek Hawks and the Cave of Evil set?

Either! The troop builder packs seem to have already been accounted for. But this sort of multipack seems like it's got potential for some interesting releases.

The one issue is I like to go 11 months of topics and have the big tournament of champions at the end of the year (in this case, it's in January since we ended up delay with one of the rounds). Since we're already at "year-end" and have 11 months of topics, perhaps it's time to review and revise/consolidate things. Some of these rounds don't really work for 6" since Hasbro doesn't make playsets or vehicles, etc. in that scale.

Another problem with going by eras is now we have the Acolyte (regardless of how you feel about the show, there will be a top ten) that does fit any of the current eras. I thought eras would be a good way of doing these so there isn't a top ten for Live Action Shows like I used to and you have all these new sources competing with each other.

I've also thought about having a "List of Figures that should already be made that are essentially the core team (Rogue One and Bad Batch come to mind) and a few recurring characters so that people can choose for other figures than ones that should be done already.

Thanks to everyone who participated! The Top Tens are going on hiatus... before they return, I need to restructure them since there are new shows and eras being constantly added.

Well, there needs to be more categories, IMO. For the Elite 25 to be chosen from 70 figures seems slim. Plus, with the new live action era introduced with The Acolyte... it's almost in a stand-alone category (granted, there are many figures that could come from said source). Like I said, I'll have to look into it and restructure the categories. If anyone has ideas to throw out, feel free to do so. I do like having the Top 10 lists going year-round culminating in the Elite at the end of the year, so I don't want to expand further than the 11 categories. I may have to eliminate some of the others (troop builders is an easy one), and combine others, but I'm not seeing as how that would expand the # of eligible figures for the Elite 25.
