He's coming in a monstrous modular bespin playset. There's a landing dock, dining room, two pieces of duel scenery, freezing chamber and torture room.

Figs include Luke, Leia, Lando, Han, Boba Fett, Vader and a Stormie.

Just watched the big unveiling at brickfest via streaming video. September-ish release, shop@home only, $100.
Also he added this later:

Well, I guess I'll describe it in as much detail as I can since my gaming companions for the evening seem to be stumped on how to get wilco working.

The components (in the order of unveiling):
1. Dining room. White interior, table, couple of chairs. Has only one wall I think, in addition to the floor. Floor and wall are both about 16 x 16 studs in size. The door slides up and down, and can be raised and lowered by turning a nearby knob.

2. Dark room. Couldn't see this one very well. I thought it was the room where Han was tortured and Chewie was held, but later, I think he used the same module to show the "Luke being flung out the window by Vader" action. It launches luke through a TIE Fighter windscreen and halfway across the room.

3. Landing dock. Sort of blah. It's got a bunch of those huge bricks with round corners like from the girlie faerie sets whose name I forget. Not much detail. That I could see, anyway.

4. Freezing chamber. Didn't get a good look at it, sorry, but I imagine there's some sort of dunking mechanism.

5. Bridge thingy where vader and luke duel. Looks good. Very good. No discernabled functions. Has a hand rail similar to Brucey Wan's, but it's much smaller.
Check it out HERE.

Thanks to Kris Van de Sande for the news.

This is great! $100 for a huge Cloud City playset, and minifigs galore. And we're finally getting a Brown Lando! I can't wait to get this! ;D

Saga '02-'04 / Best of the Best
« on: August 3, 2003, 04:02 PM »
I saw this thread over at RS, and decided to post it here.

In your opinion, what is the best modern figure (POTF2 - Saga) of each main character that Hasbro has made?

Here's my list:

Luke - I've always been a sucker for the POTF2 Bespin Luke, but I also like the POTJ Pilot version.
Leia - The POTF2 New Likeness Leia, (the new Saga Repack Leia).
Han - Commtech Han.
C-3PO - Removeable Limbs 3PO.
R2-D2 - Commtech R2.
Chewbacca - Saga Cloud City Chewie.
Lando - POTJ Bespin Escape.
Darth Vader - Vader included with the Saga TRU 4-pack.
Palpatine - I like most of the Emperor figures, but I have 3 favorites - Chancellor, POTF2 FF, and EP1 Sidious.
Darth Maul - Original EP1 Maul.
Count Dooku - 4/23 Version.
Yoda - 4/23 Version.
Mace Windu - Tie between EP1 fig, and Total Control fig.
Boba Fett - 300th.
Jango Fett - Kamino Escape.
Obi-Wan - POTJ Old Obi.
Padme - Droid Factory Chase.
Battle Droid - 4/23 White and Red.
Clonetrooper - Red Version.
Stormtrooper - Commtech version.

Saga '02-'04 / Best Website to buy figs?
« on: June 10, 2003, 01:25 PM »
I'm starting to get sick of the retailers not ordering new figs and Hasbro not shipping the figs, so I've decided to buy the 2003 figs (along with Ephant and the POTJ repacks) from an online store.

But there are so many stores to choose from!

My question is which is the best online store to buy the new figs? I'm looking for a site with many positive reviews, and fair prices (on the product, shipping, etc.).

Thanks in advance. ;)
