Rebelscum's got a picture of the upcoming "Snail" Droid Tank, and the giant Octuparra droid.  The Octuparra droid is compared with a battery, and it's a massive looking toy.  It's all leg of course, but still it looks pretty damn big for a $25 vehicle.

The Snail Droid SHOULD be to-scale.  It's not a big vehicle by the stills in ROTS I've looked at, but it is tough to tell if the toy is very large or not.  Looks to have a single mobile tread too.  That's pretty neat if it's the case and not roller wheels underneath with a static tread.  It's tough to tell by the photos though, just how large it is, or how mobile that tread may be.

I have 4 Titanium figures I'd like to sell:

-IG-88, $8
-Clone Trooper 501st, $8
-Luke Skywalker Snowspeeder, $8
-C-3PO, $8

What I'd like to do is sell them as a lot though, for $30 + shipping...  Anyone interested in all 4 Titanium figures?  They are in their display cases, and were all carefully handled/complete. 

Just let me know.

Looking at some of those new pics, it's clear we're getting a new video game Kyle Katarn.  Super articulated, and I'm guessing with his Jedi Knight gear for the most part (judging by the shoulder pad).  However, did anyone see the diagram of a trooper?

Looked like a Darktrooper to me...  Anyone else have an opinion on this?  Could it be a 2-pack, or part of an EU wave?

I'm giddy, as I really, really, really have wanted new versions of both since the originals.  Both originals were ok at the time, but man nice articulation and sculpting going on with that Kyle, and a new Darktrooper could just simply be amazing.

Way to go for whoever did the scanning.  I've enjoyed looking at this stuff all day now.

Kyle Katarn (not a Jedi Katarn either).


Some kinda trooper (very Darktrooper-ish), listed as a "Purge Trooper", which isn't familiar to me.


EDIT:  The Trooper could also be an updated Heir to the Empire Trilogy Spacetrooper...  Just comparing it to the original, it really could be either I think. 

I've got a lot of parts lying about, and some I only need a leg or two to complete...  That's a rough feeling.

So I'm hoping someone has some of the parts I want, and they don't...  Likewise I'm hoping I have some parts people need to help them create a droid!  So without further delay, check out the list below, which I used Curto's photo guide at Scum to help visually aid people in knowing which part I need or have:

I'd like to complete anything I can, and I'm close on a couple of those droids.  Thanks for looking, and if you're able to help I appreciate it a lot!  PM me with anything you've got or if you need a part too, and we can trade or work out something...  If you only need one part, don't worry about trades so much too, I'm pretty easy-going on letting a single part go unless it's particularly tough to find.  

I'm also buying parts if a trade can't be worked out, as I really would like to complete some of these, and sometimes getting a tough part to find is worth a trade or purchase even if I don't need it for my own droids.

Drop me a PM if you're interested!

Also a brief note...  I've gotten a couple PM's over time that are asking for an almost complete figure from me...  

If you're asking for an almost complete figure from me, I realize (because I'm not totally out of it yet) that you're nowhere near completing said droid and just want to avoid buying figures, unless you're trading me an almost complete droid I consider "equal" in return I probably can't help you.  Sorry for the change in my trading.  I just figure I want to complete droids too, if I can, a part or two at a time.  So I can't justify giving up almost complete droids for nothing, basically.  Thanks for your understanding!

I just wanted to vent that the AMC channel is really lame anymore...

You used to be able to count on good horror flicks on AMC at Halloween time, and it's now Ocotober 31st and they're airing the lame assed remake of House on Haunted Hill, and a sequal I didn't even know existed. 

I want a Vincent Price/Christopher Lee/Peter Cushing marathon god dammit!   

They're suckin' hard, and have become simply lame.  Boo AMC...  Your movies are neither classic, nor very American.  Piss on you...  Boo.

As per our front page, we got a boxed shot of the new B'Omarr Monestary Assault battlepack...

As per Hasbro's news that they'd be cutting back on figures in packs, there is a Droid Pilot missing from one of the STAP's it seems.  That's incredibly silly to me, and I honestly think the savings they're maybe getting by cutting figures from these packs is likely negligible...  I get it if it's new stuff like the "Scramble on Yavin" pack, but when it's all retooled or duplicate crap, it's lame that they eliminate it.

Regardless, here's the pic...  Clicky to check it out!

I love dining out, and Pittsburgh has a ton of great places to eat...  Primanti's is sort of the city's trademark place, but it's nothing elegant...  Just an experience you should try.

My personal favorite place is Hoffstot's Cafe in Oakmont, Pennsylvania...  Oakmont is where the U.S. Open was held last year and has a pretty (obviously) well known country club at it.  Oakmont as a town is nice, with cobblestone streets and old shops/buildings.  Hoffstot's has a variety of foods and really does everything well from Italian to salads to steaks.  I love a good Filet Mignon there, and their Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake is fantastic...  Their Pecan Balls with Amoretto Chocolate sauce are insanely delicious too, and I've not had a better cup of regular coffee in my life.  The bar area makes some of the best drinks around too, and watching the Steeler game having a beer there is a fun time too.

So what's your place?  What does your city have to offer?  Maybe it would be a good thing to know for people who travel to various cities...  I've found places on my own usually in other cities I've been to, but knowing what the locals love sometimes pushes me to go to their place if I'm in their town.
