Got a check in the mail from JJ today.  Thanks again for the prompt payment! 

Cause that looks a lot like the same repainted removable helmet AT-TE tank gunner from EIII #38 that we got twice already. 

When the Saga Legends stuff was originally announced, Dan Curto said and Hasbro later confirmed later that the 501st Trooper in the Saga Legends assortment will be the ROTS #41 sculpt with 501st colors (basically Appo minus the Pauldron, plus the Antenna).

From Rebelscum:

501st Clone Trooper (originally MIA)
Speaking of clones from Revenge of the Sith...remember when the Tactical Ops Trooper was shown at Comic-Con 2005, and it sported the Super-Articulated body, but the actual figure ended up being a repainted AT-TE Tank Gunner? This happened because of the tooling available at the time, but isn't it time we saw this SA figure?

Well guess what? We're going to. Look for the SA body repainted in 501st colors at long last! So while technically this is a new figure, somehow I don't think anyone will mind. (and if you do, then you can blame me, because I asked for this one.)
Packed with Episode III coin.

The pic that EE has for Wave 2 might just be a photoshop job as that 501st in that wave is supposed to have the #41 body...

I've decided that we will keep the booth and offer it up to Kris or someone else to use.

Wow.  I don't have a lot to do with the UGP anymore, but I have to say that is a terrible idea. 

A lot of fan groups are competing for those free booths.  They took the time to put together an application and send it in to GenCon.  If you get one of the free booths and then turn around and offer it to another group, that is pretty lame IMHO. 

I am pretty sure that LFL and GenCon set up the booth approval process for a reason and that reason wasn't to decide which groups get to give their booths away.   If you don't end up needing your booth, you should probably let LFL/GenCon know so they can give it to another Fan Club who took the time to go through the approval process instead of you just giving it to whoever you feel like.

In your application, you submitted the names of people who wished to use the booth for a specific purpose... think LFL/GenCon is going to be happy with those people to see a totally different group in your booth, especailly if it is a group that they never approved to be there, especailly when there are other fan groups they turned down so you could be there?

Just something to think about...

Yeah Anton, I think you're probably right.  I wouldn't be surprised to see figure swapping as people swap out the new Clones for old Clones, especially with a fresh supply of old clones re-shipping in the Legends waves.

A little birdie tells me these may be at Target before the end of the month... don't forget to check those DPCIs (087-06-0886).

Until they get here, here are a few high-res images to tide you over.

Dagnabit, I might finally have to break down and get HBO... 

Interesting episode last night, but a little slow I thought...  I guess I just wished there was more Six/Sharon/Baltar and Lee/Starbuck and less Helo/Crazy Doctor.   

Next week looks interesting though... more action anyway.
