Clone Wars '03-'05 / BEST SAE-SAE TIIN YET
« on: December 10, 2003, 11:21 PM »
Yep, I think that this is by far the best Sae Sae Tiin figure that Hasbro has produced.  I didn't really feel that way until I opened him, here's why I like him so much:

- all of his guantlets are removable
- his headgreat is removable
- his cloth skirt looks cool, but plastic might have been better
- he can hold his lightsaber with both hands
- he has articulated wrists AND elbows
- he looks pissed off
- his broken off horn looks very cool
- his lightsaber blade is removable
- he does NOT look like an EU figure at all with his extra gear removed

Yep, this is a must have guys!  Definitely pick this guy up, he's worth it.

 :P

Clone Wars '03-'05 / Re: Clone 3-pk ...does it suffice?

Yeah, I can't pass these up; just about anytime I see a set of them I nab 'em.  They are just too cool.  Especially if you can find them at Target for $9.99.  TRU is ok too at $10.99, but KB is pretty high at $14.99, but I did get a green pack there because it's the only place I have seen one at.

Overall I still think these are cool, and blend in well with the new SUPER-CLONE.  I do think I need to do a little customizing on their helmets though, to add the blue-gray detail on them on the back-side of the helmets.  That shouldn't be too difficult, just a little time consuming that's all.

I just order two of them from ohmygodcheapfiguresonline.com.  I would like to get about 15-20 of them altogether.  They look very, very cool.  But I don't need over 100 of them like I have with the Commtech Stormtrooper.

Saga '02-'04 / TIME FOR A CLEARANCE
« on: December 4, 2003, 12:09 AM »
Which items in your areas REALLY need to be clearanced?  Got some realistic pricepoints that people would actually PAY for the dust ridden Star Wars items at certain retail establishments?  And pricepoints that the retailers would actually CONSIDER reducing the stuff to?

Here's a few retailers; with a list of the "junk" they have sitting around, and what they need to reduce the prices to:



WALMART

Cantina Sets - reduce them to $3 or less; get rid of them!



KMART

Saga 2002 Figures - reduce them all by 50%



KAY-BEE

Saga 4-pks - reduce to $4.99 they WILL sell at that price

Lightsaber Bundle pks - reduce to $9.99 like TRU did



TRU

Saga Gunship - reduce to $29.99 like the CW version (or less)

Screen Scenes - reduce to $12.99 to get them moving faster

Saga 2002 Deluxes - reduce to $2 each get rid of them!

12" Figures - reduce down to $4.97 (won't even sell at $9.97)

AOTC POTJ Preview Figures - reduce to $1.97



TARGET

Ta-Da!  They don't need to reduce ANYTHING in my area; just maybe have a 50% off sale one week on their Clone Wars figures to make room for newer stuff more often.



Thoughts?  Ideas?

Saga '02-'04 / Re: SAGA Drying Up Again?
« on: December 3, 2003, 11:59 PM »
I've totally lucked out on my SAGA finds lately, so I won't be complaining one bit about it for a while.

My gripe though is the overproduction of CW Anakin/Yoda wave.  As if there weren't enough of these pegwarming pieces of junk, they release this wave again with the red ARC Trooper.  I have no problem with red ARC Troopers being released, but they should have released it in a different wave, not a reissue wave of that junk.

 :P

Clone Wars '03-'05 / Re: IG-88 Then and Now...
« on: December 3, 2003, 02:44 AM »
Yep, I think that the IG looking droids in the CW cartoons are very cool, making IG88 even more of a kickass character.

 :P

Clone Wars '03-'05 / Re: Durge on Speederbike
« on: December 3, 2003, 02:41 AM »
Yep, I couldn't agree with you more Lando.  When you're right, you're right.  And, you, you're always right!

I've ended up getting 2 of the swoop Durges and 1 of the regular version.  The swoop version is 10X better, plus the swoop is great.

 :P

Clone Wars '03-'05 / Re: Clone 3-pk ...does it suffice?
« on: December 3, 2003, 02:39 AM »
Chewie, I have noticed a lot of Separatist Droid Army 3-packs surfacing by me, but I haven't seen a single Clone Trooper 3-pack since they first came out.

Hmmm... it would make a lot of sense if they would release more Clone pks (especially the all white ones), and a few more Jedi Army 3-pks would be nice to see once in a while!

 :P

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Burger King Glasses Figures!!!!!!
« on: December 2, 2003, 01:29 AM »
If they want to repack a Darth Maul figure, it should at least be a decent version like the MOTD version or the cloth goods sculpt.  NOT THAT WASTE OF PLASTIC!

Anyway, these are a cool novelty item to say the least.

Thanks for the info STAN, and here's to hoping that they might throw in that black Bespin Guard you had mentioned!  That would be very cool.

 :P

A lot of the changes could be very cool, but I see no reason to add different music, add Natalie Portman and Hayden Christianson to ROTJ, have Yoda react to Alderaan,  or have Jango's voice added in for all the Stormtroopers, no need to add Jar Jar and Watto to the end of ROTJ, no need in having R2D2 hover down the stairs, and no reason to redo Jabba from ROTJ.  I hope all of those are just bogus.

Most of the other stuff seems pretty cool though; especially making some of the battles appear more epic with more troops and ships.

The Original Trilogy / Re: The incompetence of the Empire
« on: November 30, 2003, 05:04 PM »
Incompetent?  Let's see...

ANH - the Stormtrooper who hits his head on the doorway in the Death Star

ESB - the Imperials only deactivating the Falcon's hyperdrive; why not just make it so the ship can't even leave the landing pad?

ROTJ - why only have ONE legion of the Emperor's best troops on Endor, why not have TEN legions?

 :P

Whoa, I found 3 more of the all-WHITE Clone 3-pks yesterday at a Target.  It looks like they are shipping again, this time with Durge Swoops.  Anyone else find more of these shipping?

Saga '02-'04 / Worst Pegwarmers in your area
« on: November 30, 2003, 04:56 PM »
In the St. Louis area, I would have to say that the top 5 pegwarmers are:

- CW Anakin
- CW Yoda
- SAGA Watto
- SAGA Lott Dodd
- SAGA Pilot Jango Fett

Are areas around the country similar to this?  Or are different figures creating problems?

 :P

« on: November 28, 2003, 11:53 PM »
If it comes with ladders and crates from the Yavin Hangar I'll probably buy two of the damn things.  I already have 3 of the bigger X-Wings already, what's two more...  ::)

Saga '02-'04 / Re: BAIL ORGANA WAVE = A+ rating!
« on: November 25, 2003, 12:16 AM »
Yep, that Obi Wan is fantastic.  I'm thinking about doing a right hand swap with a Rebel Fleet Trooper if I find a second Obi Wan anytime soon. :)

 :P
