The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: Theft and loss thread
« on: July 8, 2010, 12:31 PM »
It probably varies by state, but I can't imagine most states consider contracting an appropriate occupation for children.  You might double check on CA law, but per this Child Labor Pamphlet children under 16 can't be a "student learner or apprentice" in Occupations involved in the operation of power-driven woodworking machines and Occupations involved in the operations of circular saws, band saws, and guillotine shears .

Not sure what type of work they were doing, but it might not be legal from him to take his son on help on job sites.

Not that you should threaten the contractor, maybe just point out that it would be unfortunate if the state was notified.

I think I'm like a lot of people, when I heard TRU was putting them out, I went to take a look but didn't find anything.  Now that they aren't doing their little sale, there isn't a lot of reason to go back until I know they are out, especially given the their price is likely to be a dollar or two more than Walmart and Target.

I'm glad new figures are coming out, it makes for a much more interesting time to be a fan/collector.  But its pretty much the same reaction as to when Tunghori (sp?) has new figures on eBay.  Interesting, but I'm not going to overpay for something I'll probably see in a few weeks anyway.

Wow, that shakes things up a bit.

My TRU didn't have any of the new figures, but remaining SL and Clone Wars figs they had were about $7.50 (might have been $7.49).  I was hoping to take advantage of the BOGO 50% deal, but they really didn't have anything...

Ah, but you have to get them before they make it big (and earn all their money) so that you get half.  So really Rob you should be trolling college golf tournaments....

Booo.  The new size might be more accurate when R2 is next to Luke, but then again I haven't heard people begging for a more accurately sized R2, they wanted a better sculpt, or a new paint job, but height isn't a problem that I've ever heard mentioned.

Look at the cover dammit!  Tell me that's not all kinds of awesome! Crimson Jack and Han are so bad-ass they don't need any stinkin' space suits to protect them!

Or pants apparently.

The Clone Wars / Re: 2010 Clone Wars Mail-Away - Nahdar Vebb
« on: June 29, 2010, 02:38 PM »
Hopefully someone can answer this question before tomorrow... procrastination FTW!!  :P

When mailing away for multiple figures, can you write only one check and send everything in one envelope? I'm guessing you need different certificates, but I'm not sure about writing a bunch of $7.00 checks or one large check. Any help is appreciated.

I wrote one check for two Qui-Gons, Hasbro cashed it and I'm patiently waiting for the toys.  It shouldn't be a problem to write a single check for multiple entry forms w/certificates.

As for the wait, it can be a bit of a tease when other collectors are getting stuff first, but hey - if someone wants it early THAT bad, they can pay more. 

My real problem is with actual distribution, not when someone finds new figures a few weeks before someone else does.

Agreed.  Especially in today's marketplace of mega-retailers, we "should" be able to find the same products everywhere.  That'll never happen, but its how Target, Walmart and TRU (atleast) should operate.

The Clone Wars / Re: 2010 Clone Wars Mail-Away - Nahdar Vebb
« on: June 29, 2010, 10:57 AM »
I sent in for a Vebb a week or so ago.  I might miss out on him.  Oh well.  He's cool, but I'm sure I'll be able to get him on ebay for about the mail away price in a year or two anyway.

I'm glad that Hasbro is getting a very strong response to their mail away offers.  It shows them that they still have strong collector support, not to mention all the kiddies who sent away too.

As soon as the form comes up for download I'll have to be sure to send the away for Boba Fett though. :)

Hmm, would it be impossible for them to release everything all at once internationally?

They have trouble enough doing that in the US....

Hasbro management has a softspot for those accents (or lack thereof depending on you point of view).

The Legacy collection with the stormtrooper head card had a first day of issue sticker.
