I have serious doubts I will ever find this at retail.  So, anyone got one that I could buy?  Please?  :)

Personally I think it's more the retailers (buyer's) fault than Hasbro.  I think these stores order too damn much of the same cases of figures.  Then they come to the conclusion that "Star Wars toys don't sell well."  Well yeah when you order too much of the same product.  There really is no reason to have 25 pegs full of the same case of figures.  

Kaybee was doing great in this regard when Ep2 came out here.  They had a lot of pegs but not nearly as much as Wal-Mart and Toys R Us.  Kaybee was able to sell through their quantities and actually ordered the next wave or two instead of the initial waves again and again.  Eventually a slow down got them.   Now they have the same figures but at least they have a Buy one Get one Free deal going where they are trying to get rid of old stock.  

Wal-Mart and Toys R US and Target here have let the quanities stay there.   Get rid of that old stock and get new in there.   Don't buy so many damn cases of the same figures over and over.  It's not rocket science!

Nah, I'm not that bothered by it.  I just thought the clean one looked a bit better than the dirty version.  I remember not being able to locate one.  Then again I don't think I did a massive search for it either.  Just a hole in the collection that kind of nags at me every once in awhile :)

No, I'm not going to pay for the service.  Sorry George.  I will throw my money to you when Ep3  comes out and when I buy the figures and DVD, etc.  I just don't feel like paying money for something I will undoubtedly get on a DVD in the future.  If it's not release on the DVD oh well my loss.  I just think it's a massive ripoff no matter how they try and spin it.

Power of the Jedi / Biker Scout - Clean Version
« on: June 2, 2003, 01:03 PM »
I forgot about this version.  I really wanted the clean version but settled for the common "dirty" one instead.  Since that was the only one I could find at retail.  Did you folks find these in good quantities in your area?  The "clean" one I mean.

I just took at look at the picture.  Oh man that is poor!  LOL!  The bounty hunter set looks like gold compared to this.  Oh well, Hasbro is kind of strange.  They get a good idea but drop then drop the ball.  This is looking like the Cantina Sets.  The cantina sets were a good idea but then they put Greedo, Hammerhead, and Ponda Baba in the first way.  Oh man (shakes head and chuckles a bit).  At least the Imperial and Hoth pack are a bit better.

Yeah you could have the Reek standing over the dead Nexu in triumph.

The Prequel Trilogy / Re: Tarkin
« on: June 2, 2003, 12:38 PM »
So, do you think Tarkin will be in the film but just have that one line.  Or do you think they will actually have him as sort of a main character?  Or have in the film at all?  I hope he is in it someway.

Hmmmm, the Toy Gods are angry lately.  I wonder if they have something to do with the weak distribution?   We need to all play with our loose figures and toys more often.

I was trying to use a Star Wars character name for my username on another site.  After trying over 10 different ones I realized that would never work.  I got lazy and stuck Darth in front of a nickname that people had been calling me at the time.   The letter B is for my first name Brian.  The Roem is the first 4 letters of my very long last name.  I used to have the nickname "Romeo."  So, I thought it would may be better to use Darth Romeo instead.  I thought about it and decided that it may just be a source for trouble instead :) So, Darth Broem was born and Darth Romeo was never meant to be.

I would not mind owning a vintage prototype of anything really.  However, I don't have the money to spend on it and would not have the slightest idea how to determine if it's legit.  So, most likely I will never own one.  Plus, I really just want to have the finished product.

Don't worry too much about Chewie.  Lucas will probably have Chewy reading a newspaper on a toilet inside the Falcon.  Someone will make a noise in the Falcon causing Chewy to look up and roar a wookie howl and that will be the end of the cameo.   People will laugh and say "Wow!  What a cool and funny cameo by Chewbacca.  That was badass!!!"  Expect a 5 page interview about it in the Star Wars Insider 3 months before Ep3 opens.

The Original Trilogy / Re: Where'd the AT-AT go?
« on: May 28, 2003, 04:00 PM »
Well, with the Republicans in control I can see them blowing up some Redwoods

You dirty Democrat.  Why I ought to......

Just joking :)  

I think the guys commanding the AT-AT's new the power of the Ewoks and took off.  They knew they'd be slaughtered by the hijinx of the Ewoks.  Why be humiliated in death.

The Prequel Trilogy / Re: Is Mace Windu a "bad egg"...?
« on: May 28, 2003, 03:49 PM »
Well I think the bad egg is going to be Jocasta Nu.  That's right the lippy littly librarian lady is the bad egg.  I think she's had a thing for Ct Dooku.  He can get her to do anything he wants including updating the Jedi Archives.  Even old librarian lady's fall for the bad boys.  Yep, Dooku had her erase Kamino from the files and told her to keep quiet about it for certain favors of the heart.  Nu is the one that will bring the Jedi order down eventually.  Pawns they are all pawns in the Star Wars universe :)

I mainly split it up between here and Rebelscum.  It got to the point at Scum where I just quit posting.  Which is probably a good idea.  I just checked back and there is still major squabbling going on.  It is entertaining though :)
