DOTF is cool for action, Ani-Obi is cool for emotion and a more involved base. Each has it's plusses. Yoda-Dooku, while well sculpted by Trev, just didn't do anything for me really, I didn't feel much emotion from that Duel and didn't really get anything out of the fighting other than seeing Yoda duel for the first time.

I liked watching the AOTC duel, but like the duel on Grievous ship, there wasn't really an emotional stake in it, it was just a duel for the sake of a duel really. TPM had the rivalry of Jedi and Sith coming alive after thousands of years of nothing between them, ROTS had the 2 most powerful masters going at each other for dominance and 2 brothers going head to head, ANH had the rematch of that duel, ESB had a hero going against his mortal enemy and Jedi had a son trying to redeem his father. The only way I'll drop money on an AOTC duel dio is if it's really inexpensive, or if it features Obi-Wan and has an interesting composition, I love Obi-Wan so it's hard to pass up things with him worked into them.

#23 of 100 made the purchase worth it for me.

What they should have gone for, is to have Dooku mess with Obi-Wan's head with respect to Qui-Gon...Dooku did that when he had Obi captive, but it wasn't used in the duel. That would've kicked up the emotional impact 100x.
The "emotion" in the Dooku-Yoda duel is simply a treat for the fans. It did not carry any emotional weight regarding Dooku's betrayal. It doesn't stand the test of time in comparison with the other duels. Just my opinion...

Totally agree, it was about "wow look at Yoda!" There just wasn't any relationship between Dooku and any of the 3 Jedi really, and you only learn of Yoda's relationship at the end of the duel, might have added something if the Padawan part was established before sabers crossed. That lack of relationship carried over into ROTS, I still didn't feel like there was anything going on other than a stepping stone duel to clear out one apprentice for Anakin to rise.
Where are the pics?!?

Yeah, #50 made it worth it for me.
And I can't wait for some pictures either. I am very interested in this one but I need to see some real pics first.#23 of 100 made the purchase worth it for me.

I'm sure it did.
I should have mine Wednesday as well so you may even get doily pics too.

Yeah, they could have done that and it would have made it even cooler. However, I don't mind it being a treat for the fans since that's what I am. Its a cool scene and something I enjoyed so it ranks among the cooler moments for me. Just my opinion......
Some of the emotion for me comes from reading the novels and other items that do give the back story. Plus as I said its a cool moment and nice to have it captured in polystone. So for me it was worth getting for that alone but I understand that some people do need a complete back story/very emotional background for their pieces.
It's not even for pieces, like the Padme vs Nexu one doesn't do anything but look cool to me, with the pieces if I like the look overall enough to want to spend the money I will and even now I think I may drop the Padme one just because of other places to put the money.
Just in general, the AOTC duel scene didn't do anything for me like the other saber duels, other than a chance to see Yoda fight, more Obi-Wan action, and seeing an arm chopped off.
I like Yoda vs Sidious more. It wasn't his first duel we see, but the two power threats of each side head to head was awesome, I really hope we get a dio of that at some point.
