All the sports-talk-radio wanks around these parts seem to be stuck on a "Torii Hunter and Kyle Lohse for Soriano" rumor that popped up earlier this week (or maybe last week).
That rumor just won't die around these parts. I find the deal hard to believe as it stands now, but I guess if they added a few more bodies, it might work out...

The Twins are an astounding 15-1 over their last 16 games... I wish we could play the National League teams every week! 
Still, this is just getting irritating... even though we rolled off another win today, we're still 11 games out of first place!
AL Central
54-25 Detroit
50-26 Chicago
42-35 Minnesota
Last 20 Games:
17-3 Detroit
16-4 Chicago
17-3 Minnesota
Incredible! I long for the days our division sucked...

The more I look at this box (with it's Vader head and Mustafar planet), the more I think that I actually would like a series of Revenge of the Sith Kubricks... just one series would cover the higlights quite well.
- Anakin Skywalker
- Obi-Wan Kenobi
- Padme Amidala
- Mace Windu
- Chancellor Palpatine
- Shocktrooper
- Chase "Sith Eyes" Mustafar Anakin/Vader
- Chase 501st Clone Trooper
- Chase Wookiee Warrior

Once again from the GG blog:
Shocktrooper Mini-Bust with Shocktrooper Bust-Up - 3500 pieces
Mara Jade - 2000 pieces
Also of note...
Sounds like they want to try to set up an on-line pre-order for the SDCC stuff (like Sideshow does)... hope it works out better than that Blackhole fiasco or I would hate to be one of the poor shlubs at the GG booth.

We are feverishly working on getting all systems in place (without encountering those pesky errors) to take pre-orders online for our San Diego Convention Exclusives. We hope to have an announcement if this will be possible by next week.

Wow. Sandman reminds me a lot of the sand effects used in "The Mummy" - still very cool though to get a glimpse of him in there. I loved the glimpse of the symbiote suit too - very cool.

From the GG blog today:
Animated Princess Leia Maquette - 8500 pieces
compared to:
Clone Wars Animated Padme - 1000 pieces

From the GG blog:
Chewbacca mini bust - 7000 pieces
I guess I should have no problem tracking down a cheap Chewie to go with my $17.50 Han from Amazon.

I think Hasbro's plan is for every household in America to have 500 Vaders.

Kubricks / Re: Attack of the Kubricks!
« on: June 26, 2006, 11:40 AM »ps. are the chases packed in the figures with the high count? (ie Tie Pilot, DST, & Luke)
Usually, but not always.
For example, in Series 5 Ponda Walrus Man was packed in the DS Gunner box, and the DS Gunner was a 3:12 case ratio. But then, Blue Snags was packed in the Red Snags box, and the Red Snags was only 1:12 case ratio.
edit: Adam beat me.

Kubricks / Re: Attack of the Kubricks!
« on: June 26, 2006, 11:19 AM »
Since the info comes from a Kubrick Bulk/Super-Seller, can we consider this a pretty good idea of the case pack?
4:12 TIE Fighter Pilot
3:12 Luke Skywalker (X-Wing Pilot)
2:12 Death Star Trooper
1:12 Rebel Trooper
1:12 RA-7
1:12 R4-M9
I can't wait for the Master Cases to start showing up so we find out who are the "easy" chases and who are the "hard" chases.

Hey now... technically, Boba Fett is a Clone right?
I see an Anakin Skywalker in that Jedi Temple Battle Pack though... he's not a clone.
