So basically, even though Hasbro said "We don't have any plans right now for these" when asked about more Greatest Hits waves a month ago in the Q&A, now they announce they are going to foist 20-24 more repacks on us next year? 

When they hinted at having a fan choice for repacks, I assumed it was going to be like the OTC where it would be ONE repack selected by the fans.  But 20-24 of them?  And that's above and beyond the repacks they were already going to give us in the basic 30th Anniv figure line...   Ick. 

Just for fun, I merged every "Rebelscum bitching" thread we've ever had at JD into this one.  Now you can enjoy 220+ pages of various kinds of Rebelscum bitching and bashing over the last 3+ years all in one place! 

Spam e-mail!  Bannings!  Stupid Mods!  Offensive Usernames!  Trolls!  Log-in problems!  Site down times!  Photoshopped GNT!  This thread has got it all... 

If they went from the 2nd pic to the 1st pic, that'd be one of their all time colossal **** ups.

Something else that struck me last night after I shut off the PC...

It's very telling that Hasbro has pics of the first McQuarrie Trooper up, but not the 2007 repaint...

Like Mike said, the pic in the Hasbro update is most obviously not correct - it's just a pic of the first release figure and definitely NOT what we are getting in the first wave (a white/gray version with new deco shield) which is what was in the early leaked pics from GH/RS/JD.

If it can happen for the McQuarrie, it can happen for the Mace too.   Add in what Matt said about the carded figure and I'm definitely expecting the first Mace that was shown and not the one in the Hasbro update... 

Looks like he's at the St. Paul main branch today... they should try to deliver him today at some point.  I don't know if they will leave them at the door though, so I may have to pick them up at the post office tomorrow.

Who wants new Star Wars Series 7 pictures?   


clicky the thumbnails for a better look!

Wow, that picture really shows off Wulff!  Great background choice...   

Picked these up today at my local Wal-Mart ($28.97 each plus tax):



The price seems kind of steep for 4 figures and a tin, but I guess it's only about $6 for each item and the repacks they picked aren't half bad.  Plus, at least Wal-Mart was $1 cheaper than TRU or Target (which list them at $29.99). 

I've already got a bunch of JD stuff to do tonight, but hopefully I can get them open and get some nice loose comparison pictures tomorrow night... 

Hasbro has updated with the official announcement on this wave...

- one interesting new note, confirmation that R2-D2 and the Super Battle Droid do, in fact, combine together...




I still like this R2-D2, even if he is all yellow and scene specific.  I've got dozens of other "netural" R2's, so I have no problem with this one (since this is how I'd probably display it anyway)...  of course, I'd still like a nice neutral "sneak preview sculpt" R2.
