Malak's jawpiece is removable.  Later on at C4 Hasbro took that off and had Malak holding it.  It looks pretty creepy for him to be holding the collar and to see most of his jaw missing, but it does serve to make him seem that much more menacing.

Oooh oooh!!!!   So Revan can use his removable hand magnet to rip Malak's jawpiece off!   What ultimate playability!!!!!!

1:6 Scale Figures and Collectibles / Sideshow 12"- what to do?
« on: June 13, 2007, 12:57 PM »
Ok.. so you freed them from the boxes, played around with various poses, alternate hands, saber hilts etc... and have them on display.    What are doing in terms of the boxes?   They're too pretty to just trash, and provide the perfect home for those accessories you AREN'T displaying.   I'm an opener mainly cause I like 'em that way, but also for conserving space but I can't just get rid of these great boxes!

Opened up this badboy last night and am pretty impressed.   The sculpt and details are WAY better than the Hasblo version (and YES I PAID to get that one too).   I'm not sure about the cloak though... I think he looks better with out it and back in the box it goes.   And what is WITH that hood?  You can't POSSIBLY put it over his head... is it just decorative?    Its like the hood was designed with Ki-Adi in mind!

I'm normally a Marvel/DC collector, but I stumbled onto the Playskool Star Wars Jedi Force figures and I want them.  I don't care about the package, but the figure must be mint and complete.

Robert,
I've got most of the original figures/vehicles up to Luke/Landspeeder and am looking for a new home for them.   Let me know if we can work something out!

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Recent 30AC Purchases
« on: June 13, 2007, 10:54 AM »
Wow! I just couldn't believe it! I stopped by my home Target on my way home and saw a Biggs Pilot on the pegs as well as a few legends figures (Yoda/Vader). I took both to the scanner and only the Biggs showed up as being in the back. I asked if they could check for me and the employee brought out not just a case, but a few separate figures including a McFett! The case was a wave 3 and I was able to snag a McChewie, Biggs Acadamy, Jawa, Luke, and Stormtrooper.

This is my first purchase at my home Target in a while! Looks like they are out there!

Mine's in the bedroom as well.  When the girlfriend and I started looking for a place to buy, my only requirement was a second room that the toys and maybe my computer could go in.

She fell in love with the loft that we have now, despite there only being one larger main room, and one bedroom.  So the toys are in the bedroom.

And after 3 and a half years, I'm ready for them to be out of the bedroom - but we're going to live in this place for at least another year, probably more like 3 more years.  Even with the 12' ceilings I'm running out of room - mainly because of 3 enormous windows consuming most of one wall, and the bedroom and bathroom doors taking up  a lot of another.

Windows are overrated- just put some shelving units in front of them!   You don't want the sunlight to come in anyways!   As for me, I have a 2 br condo and as you might suspect have the second (smaller) bedroom dedicated to my disease.   Initially, I was going to designate the master br for my Star Wars room but thought better of it.   My ROTS figures are pegged to the top of the wall and go around the entire room.   I have a detolf as the centerpiece of the room topped by my LEGO Death Star, 4 long stand alone shelves along one wall, a Lawyers bookcase, 2 regular bookcase (brown and white) and another glass display case that's like the detolf.  My walk in closet is filled with boxes, more boxes and even more boxes.   My room has my complete set of carded POTJ figures on the wall, and the top of my dresser will eventually be the home of my LEGO Star Destroyer.   I'm actually in the process of deboxing/decarding stuff and have decided to verify that I have 1 loose figure of everything up to OTC and then will sell whatever carded figures are left (EP1, POTF2, POTJ, SAGA).  I have one huge display case in the living room and there is quite a bit of spillage out of the SW Room.  My FX Sabers are on the wall in the hall just outsite the room (and I still have 4 to put up once I get the Yoda).   I still haven't fully integrated the stash from CIV yet and there is SW stuff EVERYWHERE currently.    It's getting to feel like I live at my GF townhouse and use my condo to store my Star Wars stuff  ::)

That stinks.  I just saw that Han is sold out now.  I bet a bunch of sideshow gift cards were used.

I hope maybe the first Anakin gets put up... I didn't get him due to there being a better, darker Anakin/Vader but I'd get him with my gift card!

I'm tempted to pick up this Obi-Wan... it's freaking beautiful. Is there any major difference between Sideshow Exclusives and the regular releases?

Generally just an accessory... not sure what it is with Ben- he's got a training remote and a holographic Leia.  I'd guess the Leia is the exclusive but...

I saw one of those carded for oh 200$ at C4 ::) :P

In case you're not referring to the Blackhole, that's what I paid at CIV for the Max Rebo set.... I'm such a fool!

Oboewan


Nah you're not a fool, they've really gone up in price and is the most desirable of the SW box sets. I'm the fool because I sold mine last year for $160 shipped, lol...

And here I am about to free my blue Ortolan, Kitonak, and whatever the hell Sy is from the box! ;D

Incredible as it sounds-I just got to work, tried the number and GOT THROUGH!!  Crap, it took the girl less than 15 seconds to place my order.  I just gave her my name, verified my address and my order number starts with a P.

Keep trying!! (and good luck!!)

Sweet!  I emailed customer service and they suggested calling the store.  I emailed back that all I'd been doing for the past 30 minutes WAS calling the store line and getting busy signals.   I has JUST gotten a response from them to call another number when I got through on the phone.   I gave them my email address, name and phone number and they told me I'd get an email by the end of the day with my order number.

Yay!

Here is the phone number 1-800-474-3746

I gotta get back to work - hope he is still available later on  :-\

Been trying to get through on the phone for 15 minutes now... no luck
