« on: October 3, 2011, 10:36 PM »40?! Why on Earth would you order that many? And how did you nab 200 UPCs? Wow.
$$$ Mando Army for hire. I am keeping 2. I buy a lot of figures for my collection and customs. 54 are EP2 Clones alone with 40 from Sandtroopers. Quite easily.
Here is the shot of the rear of the figure, he is very nice. I really like this one, one of the better Mail Aways.

I picked up and extra Fi-ek-sirk-birk-girk and a AT-RT Driver at the 2 for $10.99 sale price at TRU. so I can further back the findings that it does include Vintage.

Shadows of the Dark Side / Re: SDCC/TRU Star Wars: Republic Commando Figure Set

I picked this set up this past weekend and I have very mixed feelings about it. I honestly lean towards the 2006 set more because of the more bulky armor and the black lining around the visors.
Did Scorch have black armor or gray? I am not digging the black armor. I am not sure what set to get rid of.

I picked up some stuff at TRU
Y-Wing
Republic Commandos (I think I like the 2006 set better)
They also had the TFU set but only 1 that my buddy found behind some stuff.

« on: July 23, 2011, 10:37 PM »Best Luke ever. ROTJ Luke is finally finish.
Not so fast, they need to make the Final Duel again with the flap down with the new mold. The 2010 version was a FAIL. They also need to do Sailbarge Deck Battle with blasted hand.
Almost finished, almost...
(I like the new headsculpt too!)

Discover the Force / Movie Heroes / Re: Vintage Walmart Wave

WORD on the pods no getting made, have no room or desire for them. As for them being a WM exclusive I have a WM that I can hit before work so it will hopefully not be too bad to find these. For those who do not have WM's near you I will try to help those I can.
I hope we see a new SA Tarpels, Panaka, JJ and Naboo soldier at some point in 12'. It will be nice to get some EP1 figures back in my collection, I ditched most of them for their "datedness".

Thanks for the review! It's a shame they did not improve the biggest flaw of the toy. I think the scale is fine it was always the landing gear that bothered me, oh well. I plan on picking two up, maybe more if I can transfer the new cockpit into the older versions to upgrade them. I tried looking for his puppy on Friday but to no avail.

The Vintage Collection / Re: Vintage Wave 12 ROTJ Deleted Scenes
« on: July 23, 2011, 01:03 PM »Based on what we saw this week, is this the only OT wave we will see next year? And to purists it is really an EU wave.
This news and the fact they showed ZERO new GI Joe means, my toy collecting may finally have come to an end.
I do not think that's the case is a sign of the times both in terms of the state of the line and the economy. Retailers and Manufacturers are cutting back and being more reserved. I talk to my CEO (We are a 4 Billion company WW) all the time and he clearly states that with everything going, inflation, the uncertainty and what's on the horizon everyone (consumers, retail and manufacturers) feel/are paralyzed confidence wise. While I was a bit disappointed at the SDCC Slide show and the delayed waves the more I think about it it's not surprising they are being more cautious. The state of Joe was already struggling but I am surprised nothing new was shown.
Remember Dr. Evezan and supposedly Tarkin, and the "strongly" rumored Luke Hoth are coming in 12 so there should some OT stuff. I can see it being a heavier PT year.
