Only 4 Super/Very Rares left needed ;) for complete set.

Tell me you need Bastila, Luke, Jacen, and Darth Malak and have extras of Darths Bane, Nihilus, Vader and Exar Kun and you've made my freaking solar year!

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 'Scum's 2007 report... Oh my!

I like the idea of a SA Bossk as well. I dunno why, but I have always liked this character. Plus it may mean a SA version of my favorite bounty hunter, Zuckuss. I just hope I can get a re-release of the SA Boba Fett. I missed out on that one and would really like to have a couple.

I have nothing against the idea of an SA Bossk.. what I AM against is having to pay $13 for him!

I can't believe all the "positives" I've been reading about the EU attention - I'm just a little ticked off with this whole "EU thing" they're pushing.  Great stuff for EU Fans?  I think NOT!!!!
Resculpts of MOVIE figures does not really satisfy any EU cravings- there are SOOOO many NEW characters they could do that would be awesome and might even encourage non-EU fans to go out read the EU books/comics.   Give us some Tallon Kaarde, Booster or Mirax Terrick, Winter, Vergere.. much needed and long awaited resculpts of Thrawn and Mara Jade... not "concept art" renditions of characters that were in the movies!   And touting the "EU 2-packs" with MOVIE characters?  Come ON Habro!   If you're going to sell us "EU"  SELL US EU!!!!!

And VTSC BOSSK?   ... what rock did they pull THAT idea from?  I can understand the Leia since they just did the matchin Han (we'll be able to recreate the bunker scene with fully articulated poses!)  but BOSSK?   I love bounty hunters but I seriously don't think we need another version of him (SAGA was just great) and ESPECIALLY not for a goram $12.99!

At LEAST there'll be a few new tatooine aliens to use with the Cantina or Jabbas' Palace!

NOT a big buying year for Oboewan..... errr.. at least on the 3.75" line.

Hey everyone!

This is the LAST figure I need to complete my loose Vintage set.   I have a Droids pop-up R2 but it doesn't quite close off the collection.  Please let me know if you have for sale/trade.

Thanks,

Oboewan

I don't know.. I really like the figure.. don't get me wrong but the dang right forearm continues to pop off whenever I try to pose at all... even when I first tried to get the Gaffi stick in his right hand... pop!  off comes the forearm.

Maybe I should try switching them around and see if the reverese forearm stays attached better.

Sigh...

I managed to score one of these off of eBay and it showed up today.  I really like not only the likeness and etail of the figure but the packaging!  The magnets that close the box are a nice touch!

Yeah.. the magnets are a great idea... I don't like the "tabs" you need to pull out and re-insert though....  one of mine is already looking to tear after 2 open/close actions.

Sigh....

Thanks, I was going to order it online and the total price came to $335.

I guess I'll have to wait and take a road trip to my nearest IKEA store....

Oh yeah.. IKEA is the way to go.... 60 bucks for something like that if I recollect

I thought the clustering might be good.... I bought 20 Cases for my local collecting group and was getting 4 of them....   1 guy got 3 cases and got a complete set.   I opened 1 case and it had Malak, Basilla, Jacen and Luke.... I openeded the 2nd case.....  Malak, Basilla, Jacen, Luke....  EXACT same rares...I was like... ok... 2 out of 4 the same.. I can deal.    Opened the 3rd case... Yoda/HK/Jaina/Ulic with at least a diffrent rare set.   I was able to trade a set of 8 rares with one of my buddies and now I have all the rares....  just 4 VR's left to go.   I dump the boosters from case #4 on the table and grab one at random.... Jacen Solo!   I couldn't believe it!   Based on the evidence from everyone elses cases, I was SURE this was another repeat cluster.   I couldn't bring myself to open it right then... 3 of the EXACT same cases?  no freakin way!   So... after Four cases... or .. 1 case cluster and 3 of another, I'm still 4 VR's off... Darth's Vader, Nihilus, Bane and Exar Kun.     I DON'T like this distribution.....

Vintage Kenner / Re: Beginning a Darth Vader focus
« on: June 7, 2006, 12:11 PM »
Hey everyone!

I'm turning over a new leaf in terms of completism with the modern line-  no more repacks/repaints for me... just honest to Force new figures that haven't been made or new sculpts that are vast improvements over existing versions (like VTSC Biker Scout).   In terms of Vintage- I have every figure loose except for POTF R2-D2 Pop-Up lightsaber and I think my Vintage focus will stay with the loose philosophy.   I'm in the process of picking up vehicles and playsets that I don't yet have but once I get those and the R2, my vintage "hunting" will largely be over.

Happy Collecting!

I really REALLY hope that my pre-order of these gets here on Friday... got a DCSWCC picnic on Saturday and would love to have them in to distribute to the folks that went in on the order with me.  But you just can't control UPS!

LEGO / Re: Recent Acquisitions

I recently acquired the new Slave I. Now I need to get the rest of the 06 sets...

The new Slave 1 is awesome!  I finally built mine and it fits nicely on the Cloud City Landing Platform.  Picked up the Sail Barge and Star Destroyer at the LEGO store... wish I'd waited and got em at TRU though- have coupons!

I was really expecting the probe droids to be the exclusive extra but i gues not. Not sure what they will do for it now. 29.99 seems a bit much for the probe droids, but i know i will order them anyway.

What if, with the new Inclusive Edition, SSC will stop making the Exclusive Editions with pack ins.. and offer them as a separate purchase.. like with the Probes?
