We went to a place called St. Elmo's I think it was...  It was nice.  It was where Lucas ate dinner Saturday evening I guess...  Found out while talking to the waiter that he had a room booked for himself, McCallum, and a bunch of names I didn't recognize, haha.

Best moment for me was being one of the last to get into McCallum's spectacular, and only after I went to catch it on a whim thinking I was too late.  Of course, a tie for best moment came prior to that at the Hasbro thing, but besides that bit of ego-boosting I went by myself to the McCallum thing...

I walked to the disgustingly long line, and just as I started to wait, it started to move at record pace, and I was one of the last 20 or so to get in to the last show he was attending.  To top it off my buddy Scott and his wife Nikki were in PERFECT seats in the back and had an open one they could give me.  So I had a great seat in the back to see the whole thing...  The footage, the music, and just having my senses on overload was great. 

Twas a good day.  Then I went out and paid $100+ for 2 steak dinners.  hah!  But man, they were good dinners.

I needed more time with people more than at C3...  The gf and I were sick Saturday night so we didn't get time in with people that night.  Just crashed at the hotel...  I could've stood hanging with the PA guys more, and of course the JD and FFURG guys I missed getting to see more than I did.  FFURG I only got to hang with at the show.   

Still, it was a blast, just felt like I could've delegated time a little more efficiently.  Being my first time at a con like that though, I feel I did fairly well too.

In my neck of the woods, the B-Wing (and the Leia w/bike) were 2 items that saw clearance at Target stores...  Most stores got about a half dozen B-Wings in, though one had a stack I recall, and I don't recall any of them moving fast here.

They sold, but only after about $10 mark-downs.  I got a 2nd one for trading at the time I recall.

Hah, I'd take that Delva figure...  That's definitely a weird one.  She'd probably be somewhat a statue, but that'd be alright.

I've yet to pick the set up Jason, but nice review all the same.  One's in the mail to me so hopefully soon!

The point about Anakin's head seems to be a major agreement about the set frommost who own it.  I think I'll find the head passable, however a replacement using SC Anakin may be in order?   

The accessories disappoint me some as well...  Just hearing that they skimped a little.  The Clone set seems similar as well, in that they didn't arm them to the teeth (and I'm sorta disappointed in the new Clone rifle due to it being a completely unique sculpt to the acceptable one that already existed, but I digress).

I'd probably be a bit more critical on lacking areas of articulation like E2's lack of ankle joints.  To me they can do it, so they should do it.  Hell, I'd even be happy if they just used the mold on SC Ani's feet to save a dime.  They'd work fine.  Still, it'd probably be a minor gripe to me since they at least have the knees done and that's much more important (look at Kit Fisto ROTS for an example of the ankles being something I consider an acceptable loss!).

Nice review man, good pics too.

Thanks Anton...

Madine was underrated by many.  I know when clearances arrived I was looking for him just for simple headswaps.  He had a lotta look-a-likes behind him so some good generic headcasts and you've got some good Rebel Spec. Forces officers to chill with Madine.

The guy had some of the best arm articulation of any figure though at the time...  The irony that it was used on Madine is just too funny though.  Especially when Lando was released right with him and really a "main" character like Lando (who had a gun accessory too) is the one you'd think would get that kind of extra attention, haha.

He's a cool figure though...  One of the ones that made OTC special to me.  Some nicer leg articulation would've rocked though now that we see what ROTS has done.  Just knee ball/sockets, but as it stands he's got arm articulation that should be the bare minimum in this line I believe.

When Madine can hold a gun better than any Rebel Soldier figure to-date, I think we have a MAJOR problem.    Hasbro needs to get off the pot on this one and resculpt all 3 styles of Rebel Trooper methinks!

Dr. P (or anyone), can you do me a favor and take some measurements of the JSF for me?  Any of them would be fine of course.

Wing-tip to Wing-tip, nose to tail, and if you can get a "height" measurement I'd appreciate it but it'd be a bit more difficult to get accurately I know.

Thanks!

Not to mention that ESPN's filled with A-holes itself...  I've despised their coverage.  I'd sooner read about it in the paper than listen to Al Morganty.
