Other Collectibles / Re: Playskool Galactic Heroes Thread

Based on what we know about next year (Clone Wars cartoon, TFU), I'm not surprised everything is on an upswing. 

With the two big multi-media pushes (TFU in Spring, CW in Fall), next year is shaping up to be huge for almost every toy sub-line in the SW family, GH stuff included apparently.

Other Collectibles / Re: SW FLYPAPER !!! ?????

Yes, Flypaper is Hasbro's line of big-ass wall stickers for kids. 

Like Silver Clones said, they have done them for Spider-Man and TFers (check the toy aisle next time you hit Target and you'll see them).  No surprise they will do them for Clone Wars.  Most likely the "light-up" ones will feature Jedi with sabers or something...

Weren't these up on EE.com? They're gone as well.

They are still up using the direct link at Big Bad Toy Store, but they don't show up in a search of the site.


I think there was perhaps another mystery two-pack they had listed in the first assortment, for a total of six two-packs.  Thought we might speculate as to who the characters were.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the other two that were in wave 1, but weren't shown yet.  :-[

I think it's a safe bet that one of those includes Marian, so here's my guesses:

 - German Indy w/Bazooka and "Fancy Suit" Belloq
 - Marian and Toht

Well of the Souls / Re: Hasbro 3.75" Figures - 2008 Wave 1

Interesting... seems like most all of them have pulled the Hasbro listings. 

I guess Hasbro must not have liked the early start to the pre-sells.   :-\

Well of the Souls / Hasbro Indy Adventure Heroes
« on: December 14, 2007, 03:17 PM »
Since it was hard to separate out the AH talk from the other SDCC and speculation threads, I thought I'd start this one fresh -

Wave 1:





We also know based on the SDCC pics that RotLA Marion is coming eventually too...




This line is an easy choice for me - the boys love the GH figures, so I er, we will definitely pick these up... :)

Site Feedback, Suggestions, and Help / Re: Indiana Jones section?
« on: December 14, 2007, 01:28 PM »
The last time I asked them about it, they said that they wanted to wait on rolling out an Indy specific Q&A until after the Indy IV hype machine starts up after Toy Fair.  I will double check with them to see if that is still the plan.

In the meantime, they said they did not mind the occasional Indy question in the Q&A since the development teams are the same...

And a bootleg of the new trailer.  Look at it before it gets removed

Wow.   :o

I always thought Jack Nicholson was a pretty good "wacky" Joker, but Heath seems to have captured the "creepy as hell" Joker perfectly. 

Any word when/where this preview will hit theaters?

The Legacy Collection / Re: New Evolution Sets

Any Rogue Squadron Pilot from the comics, which is where I think they're leaning.

Yeah, based on the choices in the first sets in 2008 (NJO Luke, Bane, Nihilus, Mandalore, etc), I could definitely see them tossing more EU figures in there.

I'd be thrilled with an ANH Pilot / ESB Pilot / RotJ Pilot pack, but I'd be willing to sub any one of those slots for a Rogue Squadron Pilot.  :)

  = 

Most of the figures so far have looked fantastic, but I think I'm still going to just stick to the GLC stuff so I don't break the budget.   :-\

Joe Defender / G.I. Joe Toys Thread

That sucks ass. :(

Instead of a cool, stand alone issue with a sweet shot of the Rattler pwning the Skystriker (the plane Ace actually came with), they go for an issue with a bad view of the rattler shooting a lame stealth jet during a lame storyline.

Vs.

Oh well, I guess I don't have to be worried about being sucked in after all...  ::)

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: AFA and HasbroToyShop

How could it be less than AFA/100 Mint when it comes directly from the manufacter?

Because the 9-year old Asian kid packing the boxes at the factory dinged the corners when they packed the case?

Just poking around there (a search under AFA), it looks like they AFA'd (is that what we're calling it now?) a pile of their 2007 San Diego Exclusives - R2-KT, Concept Obi-Wan/Yoda, Destro (gold and silver head), Legends She-Hulk and Legends Stan Lee.

It seems to just be the SDCC stuff for now... but it does make you wonder how far they will take it.  I can't blame them though, getting $75 for a $7 figure is a good deal for them if there are suckers out there to buy them.   :P
