Creepy......Or lucky?
My advice, play the lottery.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Battle of Endor Wave
« on: May 8, 2006, 03:48 PM »
Man, that Palpatine really looks like a doofus in that carded pic.
But it got me thinking...
I skipped that sculpt in it's initial release, due to his giant, honkin' hood.
But could you replace it with a hood from the EP3 Palpatine?
Anybody have both figures handy that could check it out?

Revenge of the Sith / Re: Target's "Attack on Coruscant" Clone 5-pack

Actually, I'll probably buy two to open.
If I didn't collect scads of other toylines, I think I might buy a third to keep sealed. But I don't have the room or money for all that.

Nice.
Especially the packaging. What with the one guy with his foot propped up and holding on to the imaginary ceiling strap..... and the Jedi Temple burning in the background...
I may have to let that box sit around awhile before I rip it open.

My stores(well there not really mine lol, but my area) havn't gotten any new figures in almost three weeks- I've seen all the waves go through up through #56 including all the revisions- How do I know ? we have 8 or 9 places to shop I go 4-5 times a week and communicate well with all our other collectors here.
What I'm saying is since no new cases have been set out in
almost 3 weeks now THOSE clones are still there from then. I wasn't suprised today ..when walking with 2 other area fellow collectors how they agreed that they never thought they'd see the drivers/clone versions pegwarm.
Believe it or not- this is a big beautiful universe
and there are different areas/situations then your own..LOL!
Of course on the other hand.. there are NO colored clones left here because myself and others have stripped them
I am more optimistic in believing other people's situations
'cause I've been doing this for along time and have seen some crazy ****. Show me color variation clones pegwarming and then definately I would be pessimistic about THAT story however..LOL
Ok, I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding here...
I'm not making any claims about what is available in your area. I know everybody has there own unique issues with distibution and collector competiton.
I'm just saying a product sitting for 7 days is hardly pegwarming.
You can call it that if you want, but I will disagree wholeheartedly.
Now you say the stuff is there for 3 weeks. That's a bit more odd for a supposedly hot figure, although the white clones are no doubt sitting becuse people are waiting for the colored versions.

« on: August 26, 2005, 10:34 AM »Where I live in SC there are alot of ATRT drivers,#6 clones(not painted), #41 clones on the shelves- if they stay on the shelf for 7 days at least 6 or more than that's how I justify calling it a pegwarmer- That's just me.
No offense, but I think that's a terrible definiton of pegwarming.
To me that's called having toys in stock.
I'd say pegwarming is when a case is put out and most of the other figs sell through, but the clones sit. And then next week a new case is put out and a lot of figs sell through, but those clones are still there, and any new clones sit too. And then next week, next shipment, same thing.
If your stores are putting out a dozen or more cases at a time, it should be no surprise that it takes more than a week for things to sell.
I know this comes down to personal definitions, but if everyone has a wildly divergent view on what a term means, it loses all meaning.
I'm not saying your definition is this bad, but I've seen people find a hot new figure in the same store over two consecutive days and say"uh-oh.... this is starting to pegwarm" I also see people talking about "grail" hauls when they find a brand new hard to find figure. Drives me nuts.
