History of Star Tours Figures:

Wave 1

In 2003, a second wave of 3 figures were released on SAGA cards.  There were plans to re-release some of wave 1 figures on this packaging as well as a 3rd wave.  However, these plans were cancelled.

Wave 2

In 2005, Hasbro finally released the third and final wave of Star Tours carded figures.  Very limited examples of these figures were produced also on SAGA card backs as salesman samples.
