What was it with yellow lightsabers back then? They were everywhere i had the yellow plastic tube saber and i think Luke had a Yellow saber for his figure at one point. Even some pictures/posters had them.

I have no idea. I also thought it was weird. I think even Obi Wan's card had him with a yellow lightsaber even though he came with a blue one. I remember that drove me nuts--they gave Luke the yellow saber up until all the ROTJ toys.
I also had the yellow blow up lightsaber which was just a flashlight with the blow up attachment. But I don't remember the hard yellow insert--what was that?
Most of the licensees and other tie-in partners only had still pics from the productions to work from, before FX were added. And they didn't know what colors all of the lightsaber "blades" would be so they just did it themselves. Even Kenner had Obi-Wan's lightsaber as yellow on the original figure cards.
Incidentally, Luke also originally had a blue saber in ROTJ, before Lucas decided to change it to green. That's why some pics from the Sail Barge scene show it as blue.
I know all about the blue ROTJ saber stuff. It was the yellow ____ that drove me nuts. 
(but your explanation is kinda what i figured)
Well they gave Vader a pink one for a while as well

I just had my parents buy another Obi Wan so I could give Luke the right lightsaber color.

I didn't care what color the sabers were. I wondered why they were off (Vader's was orange on the figure, pink on the card, and red in the movie), but it was very much beside the point.
I never saw inflatable full size sabers. Just these ones:

Those lightsabers were cool for their time! I had one. It had some holes in the handle, so when you swung it around it made a weird "whistling" sound. I guess they tried to mimic the lightsaber "humming" sound as best they could back then. They were pretty durable hard plastic. My brothers and I each had one. I had two younger brothers. So we had many lightsaber battles back then!

At first, my brother and I had two glow in the dark 'space' swords made of extremely durable plastic, and we beat the hell out them, and each other. Then we got some that looked more like lightsabers, and they lit up. Mine was red and his was green.
My dad was given a red whistling saber at some awards night where he worked. The ones we had were a lot more fun, but we were both jealous because his had Star Wars on the handle.

OK, I know we're getting a PPO tomorrow so it's highly unlikely there will be a new SW 12-incher in tonight's newsletter, but I'm going out on a limb and predicting at least one, perhaps TWO new 12" announcements between now and Comic Con.
And I want one of them to be a Tusken Raider. So there.

So is there any list of the figures we've gotten hints and teases about?
Seems this thread would benefit from having a list in the first post with rumored, confirmed and sneak-peak figures. Sideshow's been dropping so many hints lately its hard to keep up

Awwww crap... should have listened to the newb
Yes, Grievous was mentioned as more likely these days, and Rebo sounds even more certain, plus confirmation of approval to do the '83 designs.
