I also only ordered one, and I did it pretty close to the deadline.  I never got any of these postcards people were talking about, so I was getting worried, but my Eopie arrived today.  I'm very pleased - money's been a problem lately and I haven't been buying Star Wars stuff, so getting something in the mail that I already paid for a long time ago is quite a treat.  It's an extra bonus that I never got the Evolutions Qui-Gon, and this one is an improvement over the original.

Huh, I saw these yesterday at (I believe) the Puyallup, WA store.  I hit a couple TRUs looking for the new Iron Man Minimates and stopped to look at these sets not realizing they hadn't been out for a while.  Not much of anything shows up here anymore, so whenever I see something new to me, I figure it's old news to everybody else.  I didn't buy them, but what I noticed was that the translucent Stormtroopers in both sets looked to be the same, where I thought I'd seen pictures a while ago where one was lighter and one looked kind of smokey.

The Legacy Collection '08-'10 / Re: Legacy Wave 10 - A New Hope
« on: January 1, 2010, 11:41 PM »
Well, what I've seen in person (just the Legacy figures, not the Legends, which are also paired up this way) includes:

ESB Boba Fett with R2-D2
Imperial Scanning Crew with Clone Commander Deviss
Rum Sleg with Darth Sidious Hologram
Leesub Sirln with Jawa & Security Droid
TPM Obi-Wan Kenobi with Gungan Warrior
Clegg Holdfast with Jawa & WED Treadwell Droid
DS2 Luke With Concept Ki Adi Mundi
Han Solo (with Stormtrooper helmet and chestplate) with Chewbacca (with headset)

...and some others I can't remember exactly that included TPM Padme, Evolutions AOTC Padme, shirtless Maul, Hrchek Kal Fas, Biker Scout, and Han and Luke in Stormtrooper armor.  And these aren't always paired up the same, but most of what I've seen is generally the pairs I listed.

What I haven't seen but have heard of:

Giran with Ewoks
Ugnaught with Nikto Gunner
Slave Leia with DS2 Luke
Saleucami Trooper with Major Panno
ARC Trooper with Nien Nunb

The quantities have varied, but I've visited six or so Targets in Western Washington and all had at least a few of these.  I'd be happy to help someone out if I can find what you're after in exchange for some of the ROTJ figures.  Prices and distribution have kept me out of the game for months, so I've been really excited to get caught up via these sets.

I've been hunting these twofers at Targets in Western Washington, happy to finally have a chance to catch up on things.  What's strange is that I've seen reports from around the country of things like the ROTJ wave being found like this, but at six or so Targets out here, I've mostly found the TPM wave with a bit of ANH every so often.  I wonder if the distribution of these is a bit uneven from region to region, and if that's the case, I may have to start begging you guys out east to help me out with the ROTJ wave, because this deal is fantastic.  Figures I've never seen on the pegs, all for half price?  Count me in!

Star Wars Universe / Re: Star Wars Saga Viewing Order?

This is actually a current question on the Wii's Everybody Votes Channel.  I voted for OT first.  It should be interesting in a couple days to see whether the masses agree with us on this one.

Thanks for the pictures!  Both sets look great.  I'm going to have to save up for both.  I was trying to talk myself out of wanting the 4th Doctor set, but there's just too much there that I want (or can justify getting).  Very cool stuff.

Loose would be wonderful - that's how they'll look eventually when I get them anyway!

Third Doctor (in two different 2-packs) is due next month, so you didn't miss it yet.  I'd love to see pictures of the 4th Doctor Adventure Set (or whatever they're calling it) and the second Dalek pack if you can take any - haven't seen many in-hand pictures of those yet.  Nice haul!

We're all counting on you, Sal.

Would anybody by any chance have the R2-L3 parts that come with the Cantina guys (everything but the left leg) for sale?  I finally started picking up this wave due to a 15% off sale at Fred Meyer, and I don't particularly want the Cantina guys if I can get the droid parts another way.  Thanks!

I've read elsewhere that that picture is of a prototype; the one seen here is the real toy.

King_Maul beat me to it.

I had a great trade with Michael - everything arrived perfectly and he really helped me out getting what I needed.  I fully intend to trade with him again in the future!

I think that's there for two big reasons: 1) To accommodate the fun smuggling compartment action feature, and possibly more importantly, 2) To give the huge thing something more to rest on than a few tiny bits of retractable landing gear.  My Y-Wing can't hold itself up, so I can see how a much larger ship could have a problem too.  I think this is first a playset and second a ship you can fly around.  Assuming you CAN fly it around.  And assuming you'd want to.

I think the lithographs are all Megatron, so everybody'll have the same story there.

However, people won't have the same story as you with the toys.  I hit my local Best Buy at opening and they had maybe 8 toys total (presumably four of each).  I was lucky enough to get the Ratchet I was after, but I bet anybody who arrived after 10:10 or so was in for a disappointment.
