Well of the Souls / IJ speculation
« on: November 9, 2007, 06:33 PM »
From today's Q&A:

3. You mentioned in a previous Q&A session that there will be 30 figures in the Indy line next year. Are Indy figures in 2009 a certainty or is it more of a "wait and see" type of thing and see how 2008 goes first? We're just curious if this is going to be a toy line with legs under it like Star Wars has been, or if it will be much more subdued in character choices/variety.

**We are actively planning and producing for a multi-year run. IJ is something we are committed to and hopefully fans are excited about it as we are.


It sounds like Hasbro is wanting to do everything possible to milk this thing for a few years.   ;)

The Vintage Collection / Re: Hasbro Weekly Q and A
« on: November 9, 2007, 06:22 PM »
The latest Hasbro QnA has been posted.

1.  Most obscure figure? 
2.  AotC Clone Pilot Repack - 2002 or Evo version?
3.  Indy toys in 2009?

** Also, due to the Thanksgiving Holiday, the Q&A Sessions will be taking a hiatus.  The next batch of answers should be available on Friday, December 7th.

While they will be a TRU exclusive in the UK, they were not sure where they would show up in the USA...  edit:  I see that RS is saying they will be a K-Mart exclusive here in the USA this fall.

It looks like Hasbro has confirmed these will hit K-Mart for the Christmas season...

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Clone Wars Preview Figure - Captain Rex
« on: November 9, 2007, 02:43 PM »
OK, one of the things that popped up during the JD downtime was a SSG story on a possible preview figure for the 2008 Clone Wars line...



Thoughts?

Looks like you can buy any 4 Saga Legends figures or 30AC figures and use the UPCs... here's hoping it's something that is worth army building as I have a LOT of UPCs from the last 12 months.  ;)

30th Anniversary Collection / The 2008 Repacks - it's like 2007, but now with Stands!
« on: November 9, 2007, 02:31 PM »
OK, so the rumors are finally officially confirmed - a large number of the 2007 figures will be re-released in 2008 with stands instead of coins.  I guess at this point in Hasbro's history, I really shouldn't be surprised by this, but it still blows my mind. 

Wave 8/9 will get here in Nov/Dec, then in January many of the same figures (Droideka, Fatigues Clone, Vanguard, Hakbat Clone, etc) will show up again with stands instead of coins.  I guess I'd understand if they repacked older figures with stands like they did in 2006 (or in Legends), but grabbing wave 7/8/9 figures that are only a month or two old and recarding them already?  Can you say OVERKILL?   ::)

Again, I know I shouldn't be surprised based on Hasbro's history, but it still makes me wonder sometimes...  and it makes me very glad I finally killed my whole "carded collecting" thing.   ;)

Anyone else finding this?  If so, do you know if the variation exists across all four colors of Clone Officers?

Yeah, a lot of folks have been finding the "moving dots" on all 4 of the Officers.  RS had reported a while back that Hasbro made the change at the request of LFL so the figure was more screen accurate...

"Another change that was made to the Clone Trooper Officers are the location of the dots on the chest armor. The dots were originally higher up on the left side of the chest armor, and Lucasfilm asked that they be lowered to be more film-accurate."

I really don't want to see 3-4 of my starters go down to injury again, that was way not cool.    >:(

Two weeks later and I've already got my first IR addition...  ::)  >:(

And now, here we are 3 weeks later and I've just had my third player hit the IR list. (Havlat, Semin, Murray). ::) 

Semin is technically off the IR, but he's still listed as DTD, so he's still no help to me yet.  For some reason though, I'm not expecting to get a lot of sympathy from you guys about it though...   :-X

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Previews Exclusive Battlefront 2 Multipacks
« on: November 2, 2007, 12:44 AM »
I've recieved a few e-mails from folks who say that their pre-orders for these box sets have been filled and it looks like they are in-stock at EE as well.

So if you have these pre-ordered someplace, it might be a good idea to start watching for them.

Any word on the pre-order status from your contacts?  Is the 23rd of the month the usual update day from Medicom?  Since 10/23 has come and gone without any mention of things, I'm assuming there is nothing.

The 23rd is the day that Medicom updates their site, but that is usually separate from retailers.

As for the Japanese stores, both Medicom On-line shop and Amazon Japan are still saying it's boxes of 12, not boxes of 24.  Still no word from HLJ, Robby, or Spanky that I am aware of though...

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Black Friday Cluster F... It's Coming!
« on: November 1, 2007, 10:29 PM »
Once again, it is proven that living in MN must rule...  :D

I pretty much go to Target every year on Black Friday.  We usually get there within 30min of opening, and we usually never have any trouble buying what we want.  Maybe it's the fact that there are so many Targets that folks are more spread out or something.  Anyway, I'll be there to buy my ultimate battle packs, my cheap DVDs, and whatever other goodies they use to tempt me.

30th Anniversary Collection / General Battle Packs Discussion

The only ones I consistently see now are the Tantive and Dagobah packs, which are both nice, but have seemed to hang around for awhile now.  Anyone else seeing anything new from this line lately?

I've been seeing a lot of the first two repackaged sets (Jedi Vs Sith, Jedi vs. Sidious) sell through Target and TRU, so I was expecting this next wave any day now...

In fact, while it's not at retail, HasbroToyShop has the next wave of new and repackaged ones in-stock -

- Betrayal on Bespin
- Droid Factory Capture
- Clone Attack on Coruscant

Thanks for the head's up Brian.  I can cross those off my list now without having to scour Wal-Mart for them.  :)
