Original Trilogy Collection / Re: Silver Sandtrooper!
« on: July 26, 2004, 04:31 PM »
Thanks to the awesome 
tech at the SWShop.com site, sometimes the Sandy will show up Out of Stock until the enter payment phase of the order, when he suddenly shows up.
This is similar to when some people were ordering the Kermit despite the site claiming it was out of stock.
Great Job StarWarsShop.com!

Silver Sandtrooper is on-line now for Hyperspace Members.
Can't wait to see how this one turns out regarding Figure Shipments (crushed or not crushed?).
How they handle this will determine if I bother with the Holo-Emperor or not...

Stay on topic please.For a Mod, I'd think you know better. This Thread is for discussing avatars, not your personal life. Please consult the official thread thread to find the official thread on what you did over the weekend.

I read that they aer testing Giambi for all sorts of stuff to figure out why he's sick:
HIV, Cancer, weird parasites, etc.
I don't think they have ANY idea why he's sick... unless they are just coving up his BALCO crash? Strange...

ps.
My Boy Milty had a no-no going into the 8th this weekend and the Phillies almost blew it for him

Eh, I'm growing tired of being "not Virex" already.

What the?!?
You have got to be kidding me on that Y-Wing figure pack-in!
That's the same stupid pilot that came with the TRU X-Wing, with a different helmet color!

Original Trilogy Collection / Re: Silver Vader Part 2!
« on: July 26, 2004, 09:40 AM »
This has been confirmed by the Official Site as a TRU exclusive...
"Another "Silver Saga 2004" figure -- Darth Vader -- will be available later this year through Toys R Us. "
I would image it will be the same deal as all the rest of the TRU Silver Figures...

Original Trilogy Collection / Re: Interesting notes about the VOTC cards
« on: July 26, 2004, 09:37 AM »So these cards aren't even original cards scanned and manipulated, the entire card has most likely been scratch built using pieces from the vintage cards. Most interesting....
Yep. Hasbro admitted this during the preview of vOTC Ben:
"Without access to the original package artwork, Hasbro’s package designers had to recreate it from scratch. To help Hasbro achieve a near-exact replica, Lucasfilm dug deep into their archives to find the original, Kenner-exclusive character photographs as well as the original Luke & Leia logo.
Using these images and an actual original package, Hasbro’s designers went to work to match the package details stroke-for-stroke:"
This is why we are seeing minor variations in the pictures and the type-set used in the RotJ logo. These are NOT exactly the same, just really, really good dupes

Original Trilogy Collection / Re: No! I changed my mind!
« on: July 24, 2004, 11:10 PM »I think we'll see VOTC Han for cheaper someday, somehow. I think we'll see most, if not all the VOTC released again someday, but again this all boils down to Hasbro... Some of their decisions are so clearly perplexing to us, and cannot really be explained ANY which way, that it's just so hard to predict anymore.
I like to THINK the Stormtrooper will see a wide release... I hope it does, really. Like Jeff said above though... It could just be too logical a choice for it to ACTUALLY happen, haha.
They may eventually get re-released, but not anytime soon...
From JediMAC's Q&A with Hasbro
What else... They said NO WAY IN HELL will any of the 4" VOTC figures get re-released later on in the standard ($5) carded line. I expected a negative answer to that, but not such an adamant one. I told them that was totally unfair to deny collectors the greatest army-building figure of all-time, in the new Stormtrooper (looks GREAT). They replied "We're not denying anyone. The collectors can army-build all they want with that one." Yeah. Ok.
