Bummer.  I was looking forward to Wooof.  But a new Nikto guard could be cool.  Especially if it fills out one of those Kenner vintage slots.

From RS:

Good News:
Rebel Pilots #3 = John D. Brannon (Red 4, Battle of Yavin), Jake Farrell (as Green Squadron Commander, Battle of Endor), and Shira Brie (EU Pilot, ?).


Shira Brie actually threw me for a loop until I looked up the name on Wookieepedia.  Apparently that's Lumiya's name before she fell to the Dark Side.

The Legacy Collection / Re: The Return of Saga Legends
« on: December 5, 2008, 10:07 PM »
I'm still not totally crazy about the concept of Saga Legends.  Ideally I would like to see a line with as few reissues as possible.  But some figures that could bear being reissued?

-Clone Pilot - AOTC Evolutions sculpt
-Clone Officer - AOTC blue markings from EPISODE II commemorative tin set (also the Evolutions sculpt)
-Destroyer Droid with shield - 30AC line
-Chewbacca - Early bird - hands down this is one of the best Chewbacca's ever
-Luke Skywalker - VOTC ANH
-Han Solo - VOTC ANH
-Princess Leia - VOTC ANH

WTF?  I didn't open up my Airborne Trooper bust, but that comparison shot is messed up.

All the other receivers have stepped up and the offense looks great.  I never thought that the Giants would win two Superbowls in a row (Historically, they never make the playoffs after winning the Superbowl), but this year it just might happen!

Why do you have to go saying something stupid like that and possibly jinx it all?  The fact that the Giants are doing well is why I keep mum in this thread.  I'm happy that the Giants are putting most of the competition away in the first half of most of the games.  But that Cleveland loss was just a disgrace.

There's no excuse for Plax.  And if teammates were involved in covering things up?  That's even worse.  Teammates are supposed to stick together, but Antonio Pierce should've been trying to police Plax and not cover up for him.  There's also word that Ahmad Bradshaw might be facing charges for being involved in the coverup since he's on parole.  Things get even stickier since there's a rumor circulating in the NY media that teammate Steve Smith might have been held up at gunpoint last week, and that could be why Burress was carrying a gun.  It's still no excuse since NY City has some of the strictest gun laws in the country and you have to have some serious juice in order to get any kind of concealed carry permit for a handgun.

Not much of a sale.  I've been eyeing the Dooku & Asajj statue and I was thoroughly unimpressed with the sale price.  I'm gonna shop around for that piece.

I stand corrected.  Odd though that Hasbro would offer this at the same time as the TRU exclusive model and the V-19 as well.

V-Wing?  Really?  I can't recall having seen a single V-Wing in CW packaging.  I know that we're due to get the TRU exclusive one with a pilot, but not a version in the Starfighter vehicle assortment.

Cracked open the Faie set last night, finally. Great job on both figures. Setting aside the lack of articulation on Vos's legs, his sculpting is superb. I'll agree with everyone else that Faie's helmet is too big, but one really can't export more from a removable helmet.

I've heard Hasbro say on a couple of occassions that they're faced with something of a challenge regarding removable helmets.  Apparently there's something of a disconnect between the design stage and the production stage.  The tolerances are pretty tight to get a removable helmet to sit just right.  And when a prototype makes it to the production stage even a small variation in either the size of the production head or the helmet can lead to the helmets either being loose or tight.  Perhaps this is why the Clone Wars Obi-Wan has that switchable head/helmet instead of a helmet that fits over the head.

Found it this morning at Target as well. Does anyone know if the Droid Tank Repaint is in the same case as this?

It is not.

I say this and then I read the people have found the Tank. However, I'm not convinced that they are in the same case yet as I have seen fresh cases withe two Delta2 fighters and no tanks.


That could just be a case of there being a couple of different case assortments.

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: CW Super Vulture Droid
« on: December 2, 2008, 06:24 PM »
I'm wondering is this might just be a large Vulture droid.  The ones that were in the "Bombad Jedi" episode were fairly large when they were in the walker mode.  Definitely bigger than any of the Vulture droids that were offered in the EPISODE I vehicle line or the ROTS Deluxe figure line.

I wonder if that 1138 droid is a Battle Droid or maybe it's the 4 legged gonk?

The others are kind of predictable. 

Luminara is prominently featured in the episode that debuts this friday. 

I imagine that the Clone Pilot might be Matchstick or one of the other Ghost Squadron pilots.

As for Obi-Wan?  Maybe it's a version with softgoods like the Anakin that's in the B'omarr Monastery battle pack.

Joe Defender / G.I. Joe Toys Thread
« on: December 2, 2008, 01:54 AM »
I've been seeing the Target UBP a fair ammount over the past week or so.  I had fond memories of my old MOBAT, but it really hasn't held up well over time.  The HISS is cool because there's no similar real-world equivalent.  But when I see something like the M1 Abrams or M3 Bradley military toys in the aisle at Target, the MOBAT looks kind of silly in comparison.  Maybe that's why I liked the Mauler tank better when that came out in the Joe line.

Well of the Souls / Re: Hasbro 3.75" - 2008 Wave 3 (TLC)
« on: December 1, 2008, 02:17 PM »
I won't go the eBay route for Vogel.  I got the version from the Battle Pack, so there's no need to buy it at an inflated price in order to get the carded version.  But I may go that way for Elsa as well as the TOD wave.
