30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 2008 Wave 1 - Revenge of the Sith

Hasbro has indicated in the Q&As that the TFU figures will be on the 30AC style/shaped card and that they would not make a packaging change until the Clone Wars Cartoon stuff...

Hasbro:
"The TAC line look will "carry over" at retail through Spring 2008 to make the look an 18 month segment. We will not make a substantial package change until the Fall when Clone Wars debuts."

With all the characters they could have did why these two? 

Because kids like Anakin/Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi.  End of story.

I hate to break it to you, but there will probably be more Darth Vaders, Luke Skywalkers, and Han Solos next year too...  :P

Man, those wider bubbles sure look empty without the coins.... still, I like what I'm seeing in this wave, especially the panning droid - I love the fact that we finally get the platform.  Guess that makes up for the lack of things with the rest of the wave.

And, I can't tell from the pic, but I REALLY hope that Darth Vader there has the yellowy "sith eyes" since that is one repaint I'd still like to see again on an Anakin/Vader.

So they can sell "Red Hulk" action figures?

A red variant Hulk may not sell now, but put him in the book and BAM!  Instant sales!  :P

Any idea how much a Kubrick retails for in Japan?

On average, when they are new releases, the MSRP is about 924 Yen ($8 US) if you were to buy them in singles in a retail store in Japan (but you can find cheaper prices if you pre-order them or buy in bulk).

However, since we are at least 1 year after the last series, most things that you'd find in a collector/hobby store in Japan would end up costing roughly the same as what you'd pay on eBay.  The higher ratio figures will be cheaper, the rarer figures and chases will cost more.

Are they readily available in stores in Japan?

Like I said above, they are readily available when they are first released, but since Series 7 came out last November, I imagine you'd be hard pressed to find stores that still have a large supply of them.

I wonder where Torre will end up...  certainly somebody will end up signing him someplace.  I could even see the White Sox dumping controversial Ozzie for Torre. 

I also wonder how this will affect the A-Rod situation.  I heard/read something earlier in the week that they Yankees told Boras that if A-Rod opts out, then the Yanks wouldn't be a bidder in Free Acency or soemthing like that... sure would be interesting to see if he opts out where he ends up.  I'd imagine Boston, White Soxx, Detroit, and LA/Anaheim/California (whatever the hell they are called these days) all wouldn't hesitate to lineup to bid on A-Rod.


And, on a WS note - I'm all about the Rockies.  How can you not love a team that is on a streak like they are?  Plus, there is the fact that they ponied up some playoff cash for the widow and kids of the coach who was killed by the stray foul earlier in the year.  Very classy move.

Normally, I'd cheer for the AL, but I hate Cleveland.   >:(

And, on the off chance the Red Sox get past Cleveland, I can't cheer for them since I'm jealous of all the cash they burned to get to the world series.  (lots of irony to me that they essentially are now pretty much the same as the "evil empire" they claimed to hate  :-X) 


So, Go Rockies!  :)


ps.
I really hate Cleveland.   >:(

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that GG will crank out their largest edition size ever for that Aayla mini-bust... 

(is it right to even call it a mini-bust?  :-X)

What exactly are they referring to when they say there are 3 EU figures affected?

I believe they were talking about the recent fan poll and how 3 of the 5 announced winners qualify for EU coins.

EU =
1. Shadow Stormtrooper
3. Covert Ops Clone Trooper
4. Utapau Shadow Trooper

I could see them using the gold EU coin (like the Darktrooper has) for the "winner" of the recent fan poll (Shadow Stormtrooper) and then using a silver one for the other two clones... or something like that.

Maybe the platform is split up among the three figures? 

Obi and Ani each with half the platform and then the Lava Droid with the red lava portion... or something like that?

This is available on Target.com now!

Interesting...

I think I'll just wait for the eventual 30% off clearance before I grab this one though as $21 in -store sounds a lot more appealing to me for a box of repaints than $38 shipped from Target.com! :P

if these go over prettty well, I could see some EE types coming in and making some exclusives the folowing year.

I'm pretty sure you can already start expecting a number of exclusives starting right away for Target, TRU, & Wal-Mart to go along with the movie release.    Hasbro made it happen for TFers, Spiderman3 , RotS, etc.  I have no doubts that it will happen for IJ4 too...
