Hmmm,

I agree it's a bit on the slow side of Hasbro...  This is me thinking for the well-being of completist carded guys...  I don't personally care about the random packing of these but I do feel for you who DO care. 

I will say that I like the idea of mini-holo figures.  I've supported that idea since, about 5 years ago a buddy of mine cast a mini Vader for me and other customizing buds and the figure is a must-have for with Veers.  Other mini-holo's are cool then in my book and could be useful to openers like myself.

How hard would it have been to just pack specific holos with specific figures though, and simply not doing a holo for some figures and repacking one of the other "main character" holos for with those odd background guys.  IE: pack Fett with a mini fett, but pack Barada with a mini fett as well, and pack Veers with a mini Vader, and Vader w/ mini Vader...  You get the idea.

Though, a mini holo Veers and Derlin wouldn't be bad IMO since I'd dig an Imp Officer mini holo for dioramas, and a Hoth Rebel mini holo like he's "reporting in" to the command center or some stuff.  Yeah I'm thinking too much.

Cool review Dave and makes me look forward to the DVD more...  I saw some people at another site gloating how they already had their bootlegs and were happy but I just can't see how the bootleg "satisfies" these people.  I dunno.  LFL does good with the extras generallly...  Granted I'd have appreciated a couple more deleted scenes or some such, but I guess it's fodder for later releases or other ****.

Cool man, great work!

Pens finally won one, but goaltending wasn't good still.  Atlanta's was just worse.  It's been a disappointing season in PIttsburgh so far but hopefully the win helps turn some things around.  Without solid goaltending we're in for many ass whippings though so I'd be looking to deal someone for a goalie asap.

I'm not a Trekkie but I figured he was gay for whatever reason and never really considered why, just thought he was.

There was this bit on Stern one morning where they prank called him pretending to be Ricardo Monteban (sp), and it was an instant classic. 

Good for Mr. Sulu...  Finally got past that Starfleet "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy.  Now I just hope he doesn't get the demotion he always fought against on the set of the ST films!   one of the greatest stories of delusion in history.

Could my signature be used for much longer?  We shall see....  We shall see...

Sounds like a WHOLE lotta new **** in that wave but no repacks.  Odd, isn't it?

That's a new one to me Jim, and actually anything out on display in the store that is obviously for sale should be able to be sold to you.  There are overrides and such, and they should've gotten a management member (The main guy ain't there all the time but there are managers for all shifts at any given store so they should've gotten someone).

I think they jerked you around basically and that sucks ass man.

There's no excuse for the treatment and they owe you in my opinion.  My suggestion is raise hell with their district manger.  It's always worked for me to make my complaint known to every level I can get ahold of.  The district #'s usually posted at customer service or Lay-Away...  I forget.

Anyway, that does suck man.  I DID run into figures not being in the system tonight.  I got a couple of the final figures (R4 and Wookiee) and they weren't in the system so the kid rang a Blue Senate Guard I bought through 3 times.  Not clearing out their inventory tracking system but that's sorta-kinda not skin off my ass...  It is because it means an R4 and Wookiee are still in their system that shouldn't be but whatever.

Good thread to bump... 

Where the hell's John anyway?  It's his thread.

Oh my...
