30th Anniversary Collection / Re: TRU Jedi Starfighter with Hyperspace Ring

« on: October 8, 2007, 01:09 PM »

Sure, a mass retail release of just the Hyperspace Ring may not go over well with the general public, but that does not change the fact that I would still buy it for $20.

Despite your "Debbie Downer", realistic view of things trying to squish my dreams, I will continue to hope that they find a way to release the rings separately, because I really don't like the idea (whether practical for Hasbro or not) of rebuying all the JSFs just to get the rings. $:-\$

My problem with the set isn't that the Hyperspace Ring adds $15 to the price of the Starfighter, it's the fact that I have to spend an extra $20 to get another Ep2 Obi-Wan JSF.

If they were to pack just that Hyperspace Ring alone in the "starfighter/assult" vehicles line, I'd buy it for $20. I'm kind of hoping they go that route evenually, so I think I'll skip this set (barring clearance deals, of course).

Yeah, I'm assuming at the very least the Rancor will have the same body.

I can see them maybe springing for a new Rancor Head sculpt, but definitely not a whole new Rancor. $:-\$

As others have pointed out, the RVT is also missing his coin.

It is most likely an early carded sample and as such, may not be the actual finished product.

This wave seems to be a little light in the accessories department.

This wave is the perfect example of why Hasbro needs to consider the "build-a-something" concept.

I know that I sure would be a lot more excited about the repaints in this wave if we were getting a "Build A L8-L9" or "Build A HK-47" piece with each of these repaint figures.

Of course, then everyone would bitch that they have to buy "all these figures that suck" to get all the parts...

Amazon.ca: $36.98 & Amazon.com: $53.55.

I'll have to pick this up, looks interesting & way bloody cheaper than what Amazon.com wants.

You may want to re-check that Canuckia Price there Dale...

I noticed in the paper this AM that SW figures are on sale for $5.99 at K-Mart this week.

The ad also mentions that "all Star Wars toys on sale", so it might be worth checking out, if you've got a K-Mart near-by that is...

But the other thing that was REALLY annoying? Apparently one forum user at Jedi Insider, Rebelscum and Sandtroopers wound up having the EXACT SAME QUESTION submitted by ALL THREE SITES. The wording in the question is pretty much identical from all three of those sites.

In choosing the 3 JD questions for this week, I noticed that same guy had posted his question here too...

Dear Hasbro,

I love what you've done with Clone Troopers and Stormtroopers. All the articulation you can ask for (well, except for Commander Baccura/Commander Cody). I have several shelves in my home dedicated to Clones and their Jedi Generals. As well as Stormtroopers snapped at attention for Darth Vader and the Emperor.

So don't you think it's time you start putting a little more attention on our rebel freinds? I'd love to have a squad of Rebel Commandos that could stand at attention for General Madine or crouch behind fallen logs. I'd love to have Hoth Soldiers who could toss a grenade, crawl on their belly in a sniper position, or look through a pair of macrobinoculars.

For years now we've been able to put our Clones/Storms in most any position we'd like.....so please give us the same option for our beloved Rebels.....please

Good thing we actually pay a little attention to the questions that get asked before blindly sending them off or you may have seen it pop up again next week...

I've heard about a lot of delayed/missed orders from EE this year. Normally they aren't that bad.

I guess their move to Texas had a bigger effect on their business than folks were expecting...
