I was expecting clean Stormies. Pass on it now.

Totally!   One of my fondest SW memories is from when my dad took me to see it for the first time during the re-release in 79 (?)- when the stormtroopers broke into the Tantive and Vader came out- it was scary for a 4 yr old!   And I distinctly remember the stormtroopers been shiny white!   Not sandy... what is WITH that?

....lost the damn receipt....

This beast is an exclusive to TRU so the should take it back with no problem. If anything the worst that could happen is they give you a gift card with the amount of the latest sale price.

They have this new policy that they won't take ANYTHING back without a receipt or gift receipt...
it's totally the suck!
Mayble I'll just try another TRU or wait until after X-mas to take it back

Hey everyone!

For those following the current freedom saga, this past weekend saw much happiness for plastic prisoners....

12" Luke w/ Speederbike
12" Leia w/ Speederbike
12" Leia/Boushh w/ Carbonite
ROTS Obi's Figher (the Red one)
ROTS Droid Tri-Fighter
ROTS Greivous Wheelbike
ROTS ARC-170
OTC Red Y-wing (Stupid Non-Canon repaint!!!!)
Clone Wars Hailfire
Clone Wars Geonosian Fighter
SAGA Red Leader X-Wing
SAGA Anakin/Swoop
SAGA Obi-wan's Fighter (Delta-7))
POTJ Cloud City Carbon Freeze Chamber

Passed up:  OTC Falcon Exclusive w/ Figures, SAGA ESB Luke's X-Wing (I may trade/sell this and then get the current Dagobah X-Wing instead) ROTS Republic Gunship (not sure if I need another loose one), , OTC Slave 1 (It just looks so cool in package and I already have a Slave 1 and 300th Fett loose), SAGA Trash Compator sets (look better packaged and flimsy when loose from what I've seen), POTJ Aniversary two-packs (look good in package and doesn't take up space)

Debating: 12" 100th Figure Luke, 12" Jango Fett, 12" Anakin/Vader Ultimate Villain, OTC 12" Figures (repacks... right?)

That's all for now--  I've definitely freed most of my boxed stuff at this point!

Great thread, I like to see the progress!

Re the OTC falcon with the figs on top: I would suggest cutting the figure display from the falcon box- I kept my figures on that because of the unique falcon interior background. But the ship is nice- I really like what they did with the taillights-



I actually managed to pick up one of the $5 sale varieties of the non-figure version so I'm good with that.   I might just say heck with it and put it up on ebay...

The Saga Fett has an action feature.  You press on the missle and he brings his hands up.  There is always glue if you find a pose you really like. :-\

Or just pickup an anniversary Fett.. by FAR the best Fett made yet!

You have more willpower than myself for waiting this long to open them. ;D
I get them home and I have to check them out.  Storm the cardboard Bastille!!

I hear ya... that's the way it is for NEW stuff I get from now on!
Unfortunately- I didn't get a chance to unbox anything last night... tonight though will probably see the ROTS Arc 270, ROTS Gunship, ROTS Greivous on Wheelbike, ROTS Tri-Fighter and the OTC Sandcrawler at the very least. I don't think I can bear to open up the OTC Slave one- that's one of my all time favorite window boxes- nor the Falcon Exclusive with the figures on top.

I finally got my Qui-Gon, looks great. The poncho is hidden behind him though, at first i thought they had sent the wrong one.

LOL!  Same here!  Especially becasue my online order apparently didn't go through properly- had to call customer service and they hooked me up at least.  (Points for SSC customer service!)
I actually had to look online to remind myself what the exclusive was... then I looked really carefully in the packaging and then I saw it  ;D

I'm not sure I like the way he looks in the poncho though.. maybe I'll just need to iron it to get the folds out of it and it'll look better!

Last night's free prisoners-
Plo Koon's Fighter
Clone Wars Anakin's Enhanced Fighter (THE coolest of all the Jedi fighters imho)
ROTS Anakin's starfighter
SAGA Luke's Landspeeder (I like the look of it but miss the flip up hood and pegs for the droids)


What will be next?   Wheel of unboxing, turn turn turn, tell me the cardboard that I should burn!

Woh.  Good luck with that.  You should post some picks of the tattered remains of all your boxes, though that'd probably make me faint.  I'd open the Queen's Starship or the Imperial Shuttle if you have either.  Those are some of my favs. 

There used to be a thread somewhere that showed pics of carded figs being ripped open.  What a horrid thread that was.

The Queen's Ship is already unboxed and the FAO Shuttle is taking up A TON of space in that huge box... it may be next.........

Hey everyone.. not sure where exactly this should've gone but...

It's started.....

I'm freeing all of my boxed vehicles, 12" figures, and various other items from their cardboard prisons.

Last night: Kit Fisto's Ship, Mace's Ship, Obi's ship (ROTS), TIE Interceptor, TIE Bomber, B-Wing, SAGA Green A-Wing, POTJ Snowspeeder with Dak and Luke, and last but not least, Zev's Snowspeeder.

What will be set free tonight..................?


The Force only knows.....

1:6 Scale Figures and Collectibles / SideShow 12" Speculations???
« on: October 25, 2006, 10:58 AM »
As a musician, I've always loved the Modal Nodes and the Max Rebo Band (original not SE) and I remember getting pretty excited about a rumor that Hasblo was going to make a 12" Max Rebo Band set.   Of course, that never came to fruition but how about SideShow doing one?  It'd fit into the whole Jabba's Palace motif they've already got going!   

That'd be sweeeeeeet!

Quote from: Jesse James on October 23, 2006, 11:55 PM
I'm a bit excited about the Starship Battles game...  We actually broke that news here at JD MONTHS and MONTHS before the other sites even were aware there was a ship-based game on the way...  I had some preliminary details on it at the time but it's really cool now seeing the final product in some form.

I'm probably going to TRY getting the Starship game since the rules seemed so dumbed down that games will go super fast, and also I love the space battling a lot...  Pus it's a separate single line unto itself, so I'm sorta able to get in on the ground floor of it. 

I really also liked seeing the way they opened up the game with not just a random MC ship but giving us a Star Defender from the EU to match the Imperial's mighty Executor Class...  It was cool to see because earlier model MC Cruisers couldn't match it...  It's neat seeing them keeping a rebel counter that really does MATCH the Imperial ship. 

Anyway, I'm pretty pumped to actually get into that game...  Like I said, I can't really justify the regular game, right now anyway, so this'll be something nice to tide me over I think.

Glad you're excited about this Jesse!  I think it'll be cool and different enough from the minis game that I'll enjoy it too.   I read through the online rulebook and it seems simpler in some ways but more complex in others.   Tactics are going to be key.   I wish they'd just stuck to OT ships and kept the set to 40 instead of throwing in Prequel ships.   Probably have all the Jedi Fighters plus ARC-170 and some other Clone Wars stuff.

Oh well.. I'm still burning another hole in the wallet....  my girlfriend is gonna go nuts.. I'll just have to get her hooked on it.

Hey everyone!

So- are you all excited about the "new" game/set coming out?   I've already place a pre-order and can't wait to see more details about them as WOTC releases them.   I'm a littled ticked that the set went from 40 ships to 60 but my guess is that WOTC decided that the potential for a follow on for the prequels might not take so they added 20 prequel ships to the initial set.   

I'm just gonna have to wait and see- I expect to like the game as much, if not more, than the minis game.

And as for Bounty Hunters- I REALLY like the set.  I've always been a bigger fan of the "fringe" characters (esp Aliens) than either the Rebs or Imps and the set definitely feeds the fringe hungry mindset I have.    Anyone have an extra Boba Fett for trade?
