Saga Collection '06 / Re: Ultimate Galactic Hunt Figures (aka Bounty Hunt Chase Figures)
« on: January 8, 2006, 10:24 PM »
A guy on my local collecting forum posted a quote from another website, which had some rumored info about this Bounty Hunt...
Apparently the hunt will be involved with the new VOTC figs. While the figs themselves will be shipped everywhere (like regular cases), certain figs will have some special type of Proof of Purchase on it. This is the Bounty Hunt. get enough of the special POPs and you can mail them in for a George Lucas in Stormtrooper Disguise figure.
If this is what the Bounty Hunt is, I'll breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, this is still a rumor.

Yeah, I'm assuming that the totals for 2006 will be lower this year, especially for people like me who mainly buy Hasbro figures, thanks to all the repacks/repaints we'll be getting.
BTW, where's this years new thread?

I thought ROTS toys were released on April 2nd... 
Anyway, looks like none of the TRUs in Texas are closing. They should go ahead and do away with them though, they never have anything good.

Simpsons, Family Guy, King of the Hill (I think it's ending though

Animation Domination indeed.

I'll add to the Hasbro stupidity comments, if indeed these chase figures are new figs. Repacks/Repaints would still anger me, though I'd be slightly less annoyed. If it's a hologram or a silver/gold figure? That's A-okay with me, as I pass on all of those.
Either way, things don't sound good right now. I can't wait to hear the backlash and/or Hasbro's bonehead response at the next Q&A...

Revenge of the Sith / Re: "Evolutions" assortment...
« on: January 6, 2006, 12:19 AM »
Actually, Jesse, just Dallas. In Austin, I saw 2 Sith sets once (snagged one), and no Anakin sets (got one with the Target DCPI). Yellow Clone sets hit a Wal-Mart in large numbers one day, but were quickly bought. I have yet to see a White Clone set. And we currently have bare pegs everywhere.
I'd say Dallas and Los Angeles are the best places for figures in the US.
