we still need the Jawas to show up and those could be a few weeks away too. 

GG has updated their blog to indicate the Jawas are shipping to retailers this week...

you know they can't tool new components outside of logs!

Are we sure those logs are even new tools?   The logs are new to SW sure, but if we went digging through other lines of Hasbro toys, I bet we could find those logs are actually from another line...

Hall of Justice / Re: DC Universe Classics Wave 3

It looks like Mattel has officially announced Series 3 of DCU Classics on the Fwoosh, which will be shown in the Dec 12 ToyFare.

Sinestro
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)

Cool.  ;D

Since DCD is doing a new Sinestro Corps version, I'm hoping that the Mattel version is the classic black/blue outfit so I can retire this old DCD monstrosity...



As for Hal, I will buy him no matter which/what version he is... :)

RE: the coming Han/Luke Stormtrooper Comic Packs re-release

We/they/whatever posted exactly what Hasbro said-- "no blue deco."   It might mean movie versions, or it might mean red-eyed versions without the blue. 

I guess the answer is "red-eyed versions without the blue":

From R'scum's Q&A today:

"The intent of the comic 2-packs is to be true comic versions of those characters, as if those versions of the characters "stepped off the page" and were in the real world. To this extent, the red visors, Chewie colors, and R2-D2 colors are an essential part of that comic artwork. Those details will not change on re-release. "

Rather than jumping through hoops and buying two more comic packs AND two 30AC #20 Stormtroopers for the black-lens helmets, I think I'll just wait for the actual Movie Versions to get carded in the future...  ;)

The Vintage Collection / Re: Hasbro Weekly Q and A
« on: October 12, 2007, 09:44 PM »
The latest Hasbro QnA has been posted.

- SA Bespin Han in 2008?  No.  :(
- SA Snowtrooper Officer?
- Plants and Tree pack-ins?


On a side note, I find it funny that Hasbro says "Plants aren't high on the list" when talking about pack-in accessories and then the Endor Batttle Pack has a few logs in it.  I guess logs are cooler than plants...  :P

While anything is possible, I wouldn't put too much stock in that Hasbro Database at this point. 

There are a LOT of other cancelled 3.75" Titanium figures that can still be found on that Hasbro Database (like Mikey pointed out) - Tusken, Han, Orange Utapau, Snowtrooper and more.

It could be coming or it could just be just another Titanium that they never released...  ???

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...  ::)  >:(

Wave 4 reports have been coming in from Target, TRU, and Wal-Mart since the weekend, so they all appear to be getting them now...

The only odd part is that reports of the Blonde Imp Officer, who is supposed to be in those wave 4 cases, are few and far between.  Most folks are finding more of the first version brownish haired Imp Officer from Wave 3 instead.  Blondie must not have been ready when they first started filling the cases...

No matter who the manager is, the Yankees still come into next year the favorite to win the World Series.

I won't make them my favorite in 2008, but they are in the top five for sure... 

Once they sign Torii Hunter and then trade for Santana, then I'll let you call them the favorites.   :-X

Got my wave 5 case today - but it was a revision case. 

I got my second Wave 5 case from NewForce today, and it was a Wave 5, Rev 3 case.

The first Wave 5 case that I got from them (back in mid-September), was the original case Wave 5 case.  Hasbro must have had to fill the second half of NewForce's order with the revisions I guess...  better this than nothing for most folks though I suppose.  :-\

and where did you get Shaak Ti from? I thought Anakin knocked her off when he attacked the Jedi Temple?

Shaak Ti is going to be in Force Unleashed, so hopefully there will be a new figure of her from the game...

Yeah, you can read about how Shaak Ti ties into the game's story at the game's Official Site.  Here's a snippit:

"Shaak Ti was later able to escape Order 66, despite being in the Jedi Temple at the time of Darth Vader's attack. She fled Coruscant and traveled from world to world until finally landing on Felucia. Along the way, Shaak Ti found an orphaned Maris Brood and immediately sensed through the Force that Brood was a lost soul living on the edge of the dark side. Once on Felucia, Shaak Ti trained Maris Brood and the local Force-sensitive Felucians for an inevitable confrontation with the Dark Lord of the Sith."

Maybe its just a hidden user. 

Yes, certain users can choose to remain hidden... though "hidden" users remain visible to staff members.

Mainly we use it as a deterrent to the trolls/spammers of the world - they may think they are in the clear, but there may be a staff member lurking!   :D

At the start, you could pre-order them for around $62 (US), but that did not include shipping...

HLJ has the 400% Luke and Han Stormtroopers listed for pre-order!  :o   :o

Early bird special for both: 7,238 yen. Approx $62.18 US each.

I think with the shipping to the USA, the end price was closer to $80-90 each depending on how you had them shipped here.
