Other Collectibles / Re: WOTC Star Wars Miniatures
« on: July 17, 2007, 01:27 PM »
Lately, I have seen the 'new' set Rebels and Imperials 'boosters' at Wal Mart stores in the SW isle.
Info only- for those that didn't know this is a 'refresher set' that includes 2 Mini's per 'booster' and retail was $5+. This set is meant to give folks a chance at figs missed from other sets..there are 24 total different pieces to get(12 are VR or R's).

They are very small on cardback with a 'Vader Helmet' blister hiding the 2 random included pieces.
I noticed them last week-my shocker was that they are at WM- a store I haven't seen mini's since ROTS.

DS

Are the mins in this just repacks from Rebel Storm or from some other sets as well?

Frankly, you'd think people would be better off buying 7 minis in a Rebel Storm booster from a comic store for $14

I shelled out $100 for my set of five.  Am I dissapointed with the set?  Absolutely not.  Am I upset at how much I paid for them?  Absolutely.  I was suprised to find that the bubbles for these are twice as big as a normal TAC fig, but I guess that explains why they ship in a case of ten and I guess that's why I'm a sucker for buying them.  The bases are really cool and they sure look like they connect with each other, but I dare not open them for the price I paid.

ahhhh exclusivity...  :-\

The bases not connecting was something I was told by Hasbro at CIV... looking at mine it does indeed look like there's a tab to connect.   It would have been cool if each base was different and "continued" the tune when connected to one of the others.   That'd really be the only reason for me to get them.  As a loose collector, I've already got a 2 sets of the band- the original (yeah.. I picked up 6 of em) and the Cantina Tin.   

As for Excusivity... i'm "almost" to the point of tearing open my Max Rebo Band Kubricks I picked up at CIV..

Hey everyone!   A friend of mine just got back from Disney World and actually was able to pick up a Doikk Na'ts for me.   For $16 this is a total rip off.   Granted, we all knew these were repacks of the cantina tin, that the bases didn't interlock and that they all played the same Cantina tune.   I thought it would be cool to add some actual music to my Cantina dianoga and figured I get one of these.   I'm so pissed that there's is that there's like 10seconds of music.
I figured they'd at least put the whole song in there but no... Hasblo are cheapskates!   :o

I'd also expect a Jango in there based on Rav's bio... probably a repack/repaint though  -  but they "could" surprise us!

Just completed a great minis trade with Darth Slothus- Got my Aurra Sing Very Rare mini from the new Alliance and Empire set in record time and in great condition!  Thanks for the trade and setting my Feedback thread up!

Well.. I just saw Transformers and there was a blurb in the ads about a Harry Potter game for the Wii where you use the controllers to wave your wand around and stuff so I'd imagine signs are good for a SW Saber game!

Any extras of a Maul around  ::)

I've got an extra for you so long as you aren't looking for Mint in Mint Package.  The packaging is good to very good and the batteries have of course run out.   Let me know if you're still looking for one!

I think Yoda is the only one whose actually color is represented on the card art.  The rest are all off, not just Hermi

Kubricks / Re: Kubrick Newbies - Questions and Advice

We can get them at Toys R Us here, although their stocking seems to be a bit erratic at times. If you end up wanting someone here to get some for you and ship them out, I would be willing. They run just under $7.00 after tax. You could probably get 3-4 in a letter post size box-

They're also great for the WOTC Star Wars Miniatures!

Its like the hood was designed with Ki-Adi in mind!   

Oboewan

One can only hope we'll be seeing Ki in this line. I never got the Hasbro one.

It's so freakin' long if you put it on his head it sticks straight up for 4 inches!

Don't trash them! If you're like me you need to rotate older collectibles out to make room for newer ones, and you'll need these boxes to store them in. If you move you'll be kicking yourself, for tossing them, and if, God forbid, you ever have to sell them, the packaging will add to their value.

Trashing them is NOT an option I'm looking into at this time.....I think the only one I ditched was the Jabba box and I'm keeping the Throne room in the mailer box in an tiny outdoor "shed" as an experiment for possible future storage.  It's just not the best place to put things of any value.   I suppose I can use rubbermaid type bins to store stuff in there as well.    I'm just plain running out of room in the condo and have no clue what to do with the boxes at this point.   I guess I'll stick em in one of my closets for the time being- provided I can make some room.

Any other thoughts?
