I had heard that EE might be leaking out the identity of a few more figures leading up to Comic Con. 

Really, where did you hear that? 

July's just a few weeks away, and at least one more figure will probably be revealed before the show. 

 

If you count, there are now 8 figures on each different movie card.

By my count it's:

8 - Star Wars (Han, Leia, Luke, Ben, X-Wing Luke, Tusken, Greedo, Lucas)
9 - Empire Strikes Bank (Vader, Yoda, Lando, 3PO, Bossk, Hoth Han, IG-88, Snowtrooper, Bespin Luke)
7 - Return of the Jedi (Chewie, R2, Fett, Stormtrooper, Scout, Endor Han, Endor Leia)

Maybe people count different in Texas? 

So yeah, I agree that 5 or 6 games below .500 (and 10+ games out of first) in late May is no big deal... 

See?  Just two weeks later and our two most-discussed teams are back over .500:  32-31 

As DR pointed out, this is the span where Liriano became a stud and the Twins rolled off 19 wins in 20 games.  I don't think that's in the cards for us this year, but at least I'm in the AL Central so I don't have to give up hope yet. 

The Braves are sucking so, so bad this year.

Indeed.  They appear to be just what my team needed to get the bats going again. 

The Winner is...

Congratulations to Oboewan and thanks to all those who entered!

Got a box o' goodies from Matt today!  Thanks again! 

- Are there any plans for Comic Packs based on the Shadows of the Empire comics?

Take a look back through the Q&A archive and you will see that they have hinted the answer is maybe... not in '07, but possibly '08.

From Hasbro...
- Possibly, but our preference would be to go back and re-do (with current sculpting/articulation) some of those original Shadows figures first.
- ([Bothan] Koth [Melan] is a good one if we ever do more Shadows of the Empire figures).

What influenced your decision to repack ROTS #2: Anakin Skywalker in the Saga Legends line rather than the far superior Evolutions Anakin?

Hasbro has said that it was simply a matter of which molds were available at the factory that the Legends figures were being made.  Whether you buy that excuse or not is separate issue.

WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE HOOD-UP HEADSCULPT THAT LUCASFILM DIDN'T APPROVE?

From Hasbro:
Lucasfilm did not think the aesthetics of the hood-up head sculpt were right for the product, so they asked us to pull it out. Given that it was too late to resculpt the accessory, we pulled it from the product rather than rework it and delay Vintage more than it had already been delayed.

Basically, LFL thought that it just wasn't "right" for this vintage figure.  Hasbro has hinted at times (like C-IV) that we may see that head (or something very similar) in a future re-release of the figure eventually. 

This give-away is now closed.  We should have a winner drawn in a few days...
