Done.   8)

No, they didn't come from retail - I got all 4 of the UGH cases (which I pre-ordered from New Force) in the mail today.  ;)

Took me a while, but I traced the origin of the pic (had to dig deep in my japanese sources ;)) -

Lots of other images from the Parco show there for those interested in more than just Star Wars stuff from Medicom. ;)


Here is the text that goes with the pic:

KUBRICK STAR WARS (TM) SERIES (NOT FINAL PRODUCT)
STARWARSシリーズはメディコムに欠かせないカテゴリに成長した。KUBRICKなどの新製品がずらり並ぶ。

Or, in english:

KUBRICK STAR WARS (TM) SERIES (NOT FINAL PRODUCT)
As for the STARWARS series, it grew in the category which it is essential to business. The new product of KUBRICK and the like lines up in a row.

Yeah, I know - not much help.   :P

tell me about the figues on the right- the blue stormie and black guard ...are they new wondercon carded exclusives or chase for the first 2 waves? or neither?

Those are the Shadow Guard and Uzay Bluestar.  Based on what was said at the Parco show, both are slated as convention exclusive carded releases later this year or next... no official announcements yet on when/where.


Looking at that pic, it seems like a conglomeration of things -



From left to right:
- the first 5 figures are from Series 8 (Maul, Anakin, Amidala, Qui-Gon, 3PO)
- above those five is the Maul/Sith Speeder Box Set
- the next two figures are from Series 9 (Clone, Jango #1)
- the next 4 figures are from the AotC 5-Pack Box Set  (AotC 3PO, Jango #2, Red Clone, Arena Padme)
- the last two are the upcoming convention carded exclusives (Shadow Guadr and Uzay Bluestar)

That means we are still missing pics for:
- 1 from Series 8 (Battle Droid)
- 4 from Series 9 (Obi-Wan, Dooku, Anakin, Yoda)
- 1 from the AotC Box Set (Super Battle Droid)

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 30AC Wave 4 - Jabba's Palace
« on: August 8, 2007, 01:13 PM »
I got a shipping notice from NewForce last night.  A portion of my wave 4 cases are en route and should be here on Friday.  It looks like I got 4 out of the 5 cases I ordered - I think it's the basic wave 4 case and three of the UGH assortment cases.   ;D 

I can't wait to crack open those Cantina dude/dudettes and try out the curved bar pieces.   :)

As for the pre-recorded message from Hank Aaron - class act all the way.

I agree, that was the only good thing about it.  I managed to click to the game just in time to see the HR, dumb luck I guess.  I still hate the way Bonds got to the record, but at least he won't hold the record for long... as long as A-rod stays healthy that is.  ;)

If Barry sticks around to hit another 150 HRs, then I might forgive the "cream and clear" years.  :-X

Just a reminder, all posts on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows belong in the other thread:


I've started a thread in which to discuss Deathly Hallows once you are done reading...don't post any reactions, comments or anything else here as I don't want to see something wrecked ala the season ending episode of Lost

If you post spoilers here you're ass is grass :)

Other Collectibles / Re: Playskool Galactic Heroes Thread
« on: August 5, 2007, 08:08 PM »
I received 3 of the 4 packs from the latest wave of Galactic Heroes (missed the preorder for Death Star Trooper/Imperial Officer) via BBTS today, so hopefully these will be showing up at retail soon. 

Well, it's about 3-4 weeks later and still no sign of those new GH figures near me.  I'm starting to wish I had pre-ordered them too...  :-\


I know I won't be paying $25 for a 10 pack of figures just to get two that I don't have.

I will...  ::)

Are Star Tours figures eligible? I'll have to redo my list if so.

I will send Hasbro a question and see if they can clarify that for you.  I will post if/when I get an answer back from them...

9145
Anakin and Palps are two that I never was able to get, so that's why I voted for them

Remember, Hasbro has already said that the Evolutions figures are ineligible because the Evolution sets are coming back again in 2008.  Might want to edit your list...  ;)

Some figures will not be eligible because tooling is not available at the time due to their use in upcoming products. This includes any figures from the previous (2005) Evolution packs among others that may not be available.

JediDefender Forum Members are invited over to the 2008 Saga Legends "Fan's Choice" Poll thread to post a list of the "top 10" figures they would most like to see Hasbro re-release in the Legends line.  Please read the whole post to be sure the figures you are voting for are eligible.

As stated in the poll thread, for the sake of making things easy for the staff, please post ONLY "top 10" lists in that thread.  Any discussion of lists or campaigning for certain figures should take place in this existing discussion thread.

Also, once again for the sake of making things easy, please limit your lists to TEN figures.  Ten figures, that's it - we don't care about any "runner-ups" or "honorable mentions".  If you vote for more than 10, the extras will be deleted.

Thanks, have fun voting, and good luck to your choices. :)


*And remember, don't bother voting for Evolutions figures.  Hasbro has already said that they are ineligible because the Evolution sets are coming back again in 2008.  ;)

We want your votes! Hasbro is looking for a final wave of 5-6 figures that will round out the Saga Legends line, and which will be on shelf approximately March 2008.  JediDefender Forum Members are welcome to post in this thread a list of the "top 10" figures they would most like to see Hasbro re-release.

Your "top 10" lists must be posted by 11:59PM (Pacific) on Thursday, August 16th.  

On Friday, August 17th, the lists posted here will be compiled by the JD staff and the "top 10" choices from the JediDefender Forum Members will be forwarded to Hasbro!  The following Monday, August 20th, the lists from the various participating fansites will be combined together (with each website getting an equal voice) to generate one final "Top 20" list which will then be posted by Hasbro for netwide fan voting through the end of August.


Rules/Clarifications:

- Ineligible Figures:  Any figures that have been used for exclusives or mainline sets from March 2007 or later (or previous exclusives whose retailer is still stocking them). This means that figures from sets such as the McQuarrie convention exclusives, Order 66 2-packs, Tusken Raiders, Mandalorian packs, Battlefront II packs, AT-RT Patrol, 181st Tie Interceptor Pilot, ARC-170 Battle Pack, Lucas Family pack, Stealth Scout Trooper, Felucia Battle Pack, Ambush on Ilum Battle Pack, Clone Attack on Coruscant Battle Pack, the Hunt for Grievous Battle Pack, Kir Kanos/Carnor Jax comic pack, 2007 vintage assortment, and other upcoming sets are ineligible. Some figures will not be eligible because tooling is not available at the time due to their use in upcoming products. This includes any figures from the previous (2005) Evolution packs among others that may not be available.

- Eligible Figures:  All other 3-3/4" figures that were either released as basic figures, Vintage figures, vehicle drivers, or released as part of a multi-figure set prior to March 2007. Exclusives and other sets whose figure are eligible for consideration include Republic Commandos, Death Star Briefing Room, the Saga Tins, Zev Senesca, the figures from the Toys R 'Us AT-AT, and the like. Pretty much all other figures are fair game!

- Votes for Ineligible Figures will be removed by staff when compiling the final list.

- For ease of compiling the lists, PLEASE POST ONLY "TOP 10" LISTS IN THIS THREAD.  All discussion of the poll and lists should be posted in the existing 2008 Saga Legends "Fan's Choice" Discussion thread. 

- Also for ease of compiling the lists, please limit your lists to TEN figures.  Ten figures, that's it - we don't care about any "runner-ups" or "honorable mentions".  If you vote for more than 10, the extras will be deleted.


Thanks for reading and enjoy!  :)

The Vintage Collection / Re: Hasbro Weekly Q and A
« on: August 3, 2007, 03:28 PM »
The latest Hasbro QnA has been posted.

- We need Chewie's family!
- We need removable hats on our Imperials!
- Can we get some "progress reports" on upcoming figures?


* I'd really like to see Chewie's family someday, so I'm glad that they are "not out of the realm of possibility someday." :)

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 30AC Star Wars Comic Packs
« on: August 2, 2007, 03:16 PM »
I picked up Wave 3 at Target today.  :)

I have to say that my least favorite set is Luke/Mara.  Mara is a horrible figure.  :(

Her neck paint does not go all the way up, so with her hood off, you see the ugly black ball around the base of her head because her neck is so long to accomodate the hood thingy.  Plus, her head is really wobbly and has trouble staying on (at least on my figure).  Also, her holster is HUGE, it looks like a purse or something.   She does have nice articulation though (ball shoulders and knees, swivel elbows and wrists).  If you get her in the right pose, she's passable.  Not nearly as good as I was hoping though.


Leia/Vader is fine... nothing great, but nothing that bad either.   :P


My favorite of the 3 is definitely the Hett/Dark Woman set.  Less articulation on Dark Woman than Mara, but the pose/sculpt/neck is so much better.  And Hett rocks - ball shoulders and knees, swivel elbows and wrists.  Plus the twin sabers, one of which converts to gaffi stick are very cool, not to mention the mask/helmet.  Fantastic set for $10.  :)
