I like the scowl for fighting since the ROTS Dooku has a more passive face...

The cool thing about both Dooku's is to me the Evolutions Dooku makes your best "basic" Dooku.  If you want Dooku fighting in the hangar with Yoda or fighting Anakin on the Invisible hand, or EU fights or whatnot...  He's great to display in any of these ways.

The great thing though is that ROTS Dooku is really nice to own as well because he's got the arms removable at the right place for Anakin's taste of dark side aboard the invisible hand... 

ROTS Dooku has noticeably weaker leg articulation (he's not got ball/socket knees but rather hinged knees with swiveling boot tops), and his arms look a little odd with the cut at the forearm.  I prefer displaying that one on his knees waiting for his fate then.

That's just me though...  I have the Evo one duking it out with Anakin right now but stuff's gonna go in storage here shortly while I build stuff around my display area(s).

EE's still got individual sets, I think you'd have been further ahead to follow the link on our front page out there Clone Commander.

They're definitely fun sets though...  Worth owning.  If you have a local collecting group, let me HIGHLY suggest you get involved with them.  Ordering in bulk on items like these makes it REALLY affordable for you.  I got my sets in a case our local group ordered, now they're talking about ordering the new all white case for more and pulling me in on a set again.  That'll build up the troops for me a good bit.  I love the early war Clones design maybe even more than the ROTS...  Hopefully Hasbro puts a basic CW SA Clone out on pegs again.  No reason not to really.

Hmmm, not sure if Thomas was handling this stuff or not but he's been MIA for a bit.  Hopefully he sees this thread though and can answer the ? for you on this one. 

I'm not a Variation fan myself unless it's a big intentional thing...  This almost sounds more an error on a variation. 

I was out tonight and saw nada but know they're in my area.  I know I'd like some Wookiee Heavy Gunner sets, and really I could care who he's packed in with because I just need that damn heavy gunner.

The Tact. Ops would be nice to find for just one more but the Wookiee is who I'm now on a massive hunt for.

It's way underscaled.  Dimensions posted for it online before it shipped were either wrong totally or were for the packaging as opposed to the model itself, but the model is I think either 1/32 scale or so from what I've heard of those who bought and built it.

I had a story on the front page when it first surfaced because I did measurements on the given dimensions online for the model and compared them with the actual dimensions of the vehicle (if it existed of course) and it matched to almost exactly 1/18 scale or, more or less, Star Wars 3.75" figure scale...  SW figures "scale" varies because nobody's keeping track at Hasbro. 

But yeah, the Corp. Alliance tank is way undersized, believe me I was hoping beyond hope it was what I thought at first.  Unfortunately it's nowhere close.  It's actually closer to the SW Miniatures Battles game if I'm not mistaken, but maybe a bit large for that.

And today's the day folks...

Did any of you read the SW.com databank entry we reported on the front page the other day?

Lots of new tank units.  I wish they'd do a databank entry that covered all the Force Commander and Galactic Battlegrounds units and folded them into the vehicles database the site has going. 

Be cool if they included the ground units from Rogue Squadron series too because the Rebels were fielding a few slow hover tanks, looked old and cool.  I'm wondering if there's names even for those though.

Good stuff though, and right now I'm wishing I had a new computer. 

Share your reviews on this one if you get it, I'm curious to hear people's thoughts.

By the way, thanks for the positive marks guys...

Yeah, the Evolutions sets were novels...  Really they and VOTC were.  The positive was that I can cheat a little by giving the same blanket opinion on certain aspects (packaging, etc.), so I try to cut my workload down that way.

I'm all about the actual review though...  I like to take a close look at this stuff, not just breeze over it and give opinions without substantiation to why I feel the way I do...  I own it, I opened it, I review it by actually messing with the item.  I have my pattern and routine down with these now, but yeah reviewing 3 figure boxed sets really kinda got long-winded.    Especially on sets like the Sith Lords where they're all 3 substantially unique from one another.  The Clones were the easiest because from AOTC to ANH they don't change a TON.  When you talk about armor sculpt, it's the same on all 3 in quality, so you can't get as long-winded.

The Sith Lords and Anakin though...  Man I was really burnt out, haha.  I'm glad I'm done, and if Evo sets come up in the future I"ll be a bit selective what I do.  I wanted this series covered though because I have a love for this whole concept so I wanted to really get my opinion out on them.  They're just great product.  Same with VOTC, and also the basic line I try to get my strongest opinions out...  Positive or negative.  That's why I don't mix in much that I'm "indifferent" towards because it just doesn't make for good reading.  They only sneak in for diversity's sake. 

Thanks for reading guys, there's good stuff there so try to find a set if you don't own it.  Same with the other 2 (3 technically) sets.
