LOL at Jesse's team being in the "Metropolitan" division. 
They got the West names right (Pacific/Central), but the East? How do they use the "Atlantic" division name for the group with no former Atlantic division teams in it (and only 2 of the 8 teams actually on the Atlantic
)?

The Bullpen / Re: Marvel Universe
« on: July 18, 2013, 02:17 PM »IS THAT DEVIL DINOSAUR AND MOONBOY?!?!
Had those been announced previously? I don't pay much attention to this line but those are must-haves for me as the comic was one of my favorite things growing up.
Any info would be appreciated, thanks!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it sounds like they are just customs that Hasbro made to fill out the display.

I’ve been decrying the fact the of all the Marvel toys we’ve gotten over the years we have never gotten a Devil Dinosaur. Or Moon Boy (less concerned). So this got me excited. Until I inquired and was told that the DD and Moon Boy in the case are just customs. Bummed.
Another site (can't find the link) said that the dino was a repainted/tweaked Hasbro Jurassic Park dino I guess...

Will somebody hurry up and take a picture of the back of the Ewok box already?!? Be nice to get some names for those little fuzzballs...
And $20 seems like a good price for this considering the last few carded ewoks were singles for $10.

The Black Series 3.75" Figures / Re: Amazon Droid Factory Multi-Pack
« on: July 18, 2013, 01:04 PM »
I hope someone asks Hasbro for the 'real' details about this set.
- some places are saying it's a 6-pack, but there are 7 figures shown - Sandtrooper, Battle Droid, TIE Pilot, Geonosian, Clone Trooper
- does it come with the tan BD shown or the Red one that was announced for the Droid Factory line?
- does it come with the orange Sandie shown or the black pauldron one that was announced for the Droid Factory line?
Would be nice to have those details settled... if it is the Red BD and Black Sandtrooper, I'll probably wait for an Amazon sale into the $40-45ish range and then grab one. If it's more tan BD and orange sandies, I'll probably just go the ebay route to pick up the two BADs and 212th Clone and ignore the others.

Oooh - maybe they'll have new ponchos this time around! Would that make it better? Or maybe floppy hats too. Yeah, new hats. Golden.

« on: July 18, 2013, 12:56 PM »The clones looked pathetic though... easy pass. My 6 year old son even said they looked "silly."
The real question is, what did your son think about the Clone's helmet?

The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: Amazon Vintage Slave I w/Carbonite Block
« on: July 18, 2013, 12:45 PM »I'll hold out and hope for a sale/promotion to bring it closer to the $65-75ish range.
Well that didn't take long.
I can handle $69.99 for this. Thinking about pre-ordering but if the price dropped $30 so fast... maybe I should wait it out to $50? Hmmm...

The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: Toys R Us Vintage Bigg's X-Wing Fighter
« on: July 18, 2013, 12:34 PM »Is the "new" ship just a retool? I thought they'd made an all new X-Wing and it was a little smaller than before? I could be wrong...
I think the general consensus was the Trench Run X-Wing had the old (floppy) wings with a newly tooled fuselage that included - fold out torpedo launcher, front hatch for landing gear, storage compartment, slightly shorter length, new cockpit panel, and the targeting computer. Lots of tweaks and slightly smaller. Here's a good overview at JTA.
I always kinda regretted not getting the Trench Run set to get that Red 5 X-Wing but $100+ was just too much since I only wanted the Xwing. I'll probably pick this one up now that I know it's the trench run x-wing, but I'll probably wait until TRU has a BOGO sale going on in order to save some cash off that $60 price. Agree with everyone one else that if it came with Biggs/Astromech $60 would be a lot easier to take.

« on: July 17, 2013, 09:57 PM »God I hope they dont' make me buy a multi-pack to get Rex/Mace, and inevitably would include Ani, Obi, and Ahsoka... Yikes.
You know that's exactly what's going to happen now... maybe they'll toss in Mace's BAD and it'll be the next $60 Amazon 6-pack.

The Black Series 3.75" Figures / Re: Amazon Droid Factory Multi-Pack
« on: July 17, 2013, 09:53 PM »So now we know the value of 6 figures that are all essentially repaints and pack-in pieces... $60.
True, but if they had been in the basic line, they'd be $10 each anyway.
Wait for a nice Amazon sale to pick it up for $40 and it's like buying 4 and getting the two BADs for free.

Just because Rex/Mace/etc weren't there for the pictures taken on Tuesday doesn't necessarily mean they won't be there at all this weekend. Maybe they just hadn't unpacked that box yet... or maybe they got re-assigned to some multi-pack that will be revealed on Friday or whatever. Wait and see...
