30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Hasbro 30AC Overload Already?
« on: October 19, 2007, 02:38 PM »
Lots of different product, but I'm rarely finding product I actually want.  All I am mostly interested in for the rest of the year are the McQuarrie's and R4-I9, that is it.  I finally got a McVader and had to end up getting a UGH Chewie as I never saw a regular one (which I would have preferred).  I lucked out with McStormie and McFett getting them through HTS.  The ONLY McQuarrie figure I have found at retail was UGH Chewbacca.  I am loving the pegwarming DST's as I may be able to get more should they ever go on clearance (I already have 6).

So yes there seems to be an overload of product coming out, but there seems to be a definite shortage of the product I am hunting for.

Really tough custom here (ha ha).  Saw someone do a custom jedi luke using the new farm boy luke head and was really impressed, so I thought I would give Stormtrooper Luke a go.  Yeah, he's a little tall for a Luke Stormtrooper, but I am happy.  Now I just need an good Han head!



I thought I had also posted my pilot luke here, but I guess I didn't, not much of a custom, but the shot came out really cool - no photoshop effects here - except for the lightsaber.

Why would you try to use anything other than the Comic Pack Han/Luke heads?  We already know they fit on those bodies, and under those helmets nicely.

Found 2 more at lunch today - I'm at 26.

My preferences are VTSC Pilot Luke and VOTC Han, but would be fine with the comic pack heads - I'm just not willing to pay $20 to get 2 heads!  Any customizers out there have a bag of extra heads?  My main concern is getting the head on the peg, not too worried about the helmet fit on the actual head.

I managed to get the McYoda/Obiwan pack on Monday morning, just about one of the last to get in before they sold out.  That gets me nearly complete on the McQuarrie's, now I'm only missing Chewie!

20
I passed on all the sets in 2005 and only regretted missing the Anakin/Vader set, so I'll grab that one when it shows up again.  Of the new ones the Fett pack looks great, the other are too EU for me (yes, I do realize one of the 'Fett's' is EU).

21
I just picked up 2 from HTS, with my McYoda order.  Now I just need to find compatible Luke and Han heads...

22
I could only come up with 15, with the list provided.

#07 Han Solo (Stormtrooper Repaint) EPIV
#10 Zuckuss (Resculpt) EPV
#08 Hoth Soldier (Super Articulated Resculpt) EPV
#10 Imperial Officer (Black Tunic Repaint) EPIV
#07 Captain Needa EPV
#03 Sim Aloo EPVI
#08 Emperor Palpatine (Office Duel SA) EPIII
#07 Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ultimate) EPII
#01 Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder Resculpt) EPV
#05 B-Wing Pilot (Resculpt) EPVI
#09 Hoth Rebel Soldier (Echo Base) EPV
#06 General Grievous (SA) EPIII
#02 2-1B EPIII
#04 Emperor Palpatine (Senate Duel) EPIII
#01 Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ultimate) EPI

You can get your fill now over at hts.com, Last time I checked they still had over 1200 in stock.

As much as having all the old vintage done this way would be cool, it would be a financial disaster for Hasbro.  They need to have at least 2 more waves of this line to get all the essential characters done.

Characters I feel really should be done before line is ended:

Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight Outfit)
The Emperor
Emperor's Royal Guard
Hoth Luke
Hoth Leia
Bespin Han
4-LOM
Zuckuss
Dengar
Leia (Boushh Disguise)
Jawa
Lando Calrissian (Skiff Guard Disguise)

That is 12 and makes us good for at least another 2 years.

Beyond that the choices for me get tougher.  But I can see the following having legitimate bids:

Amanaman
Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot
AT-AT Driver
Rebel Soldier (Hoth Battle Gear)
Rebel Commander
Admiral Ackbar
Chief Chirpa
Rebel Commando
AT-ST Driver

I'm just not a fan of this figure, and I really want a good jedi luke!  Maybe we will get a really good VOTC one next year.

They REALLY need to do the Emperor & Royal Guard for this line.  Every Emperor in the modern line has been a disaster in my opinion (I tolerate the cinema scene one because of the awesome chair).  Jedi Luke, Hoth Leia would also seem to be an obvious choices.  How about this:

The Emperor (JEDI)
Royal Guard (JEDI)
Jedi Luke (JEDI)
Hoth Leia (ESB)
Hoth Luke (ESB)

On second thought that would be 2 Lukes (scratch to Hoth one).

I managed to get 2 McBoba's, 2 McStormies and 4 DST's from HTS today.

28
McBoba and McStormie were in stock for only a couple of minutes.  DST lasted for about an hour, there were at least 60 in stock.  The GM's sold out in an hour and a half.

I managed to get  2 mcstormies, 2 mcbobas and 4 dst's

29
Mostly retail, but when I see a fair deal online I'll go for it.

I like the new look of the cards, but they seem to be much smaller.  Maybe that is just a design effect.
