Wow, thanks...those are incredible!

I wonder how many figures they will ultimately release, I would like to get in on these but have limited space.

Saw some shots of The Comedian from Toy Fair, comes with shotgun and backpack flame thrower, looked predictably awesome. I believe he was mentioned as slated for a September release.

Makes me wonder who will come out in that July slot...

I actually wish they had done something akin to the Assemblers idea for the Clone Wars line somewhere along the way. So instead of 18 crappy figures last year we could have made 36 or something. Clone and droids seem like good candidates for part swapping.

Nope, but I did buy Heavy Metal on Blu-Ray for $10. What can I say? Good nyborg.

Yeah, they really need to look at moving their factory operations out of China and into a burgeoning industrial hub like Vietnam. There's no reason to keep getting jacked up every year like it is an extortion racket.

Dr P, I applaud your excellent rant. You sold me. I haven't seen these yet but I feel relieved now.

They were on last week's episode actually, pictured next to Rex, but in darkness so hard to make out the coloration.

I still wish someone could somehow confirm if any of these figures were made in US packaging or not. I still think these could really be hard to come by on the aftermarket otherwise.

A lot of people are speculating that the animated Rex and the BD pictured with the Mission Series figures at Toy Fair were just place holders and different versions will be released eventually. Guess we'll have to wait and see...

Damn, now I'm back to thinking hard about jumping in on this line, a good sale would be a nice entry point. Off to K-Mart I go...

It's supposed to be Yoda's Gunship from Attack Of The Clones.

Thank you!

This will be a pass for me as well...the others I have are still serviceable.

The Clone Wars / Re: Recent Clone Wars Finds/Purchases

I snagged a Republic Assault Submarine Class I set at Ross this morning for $8.  ;D

Ever since I saw a similar report over at JTA, I have been stalking these, and it finally paid off.

Oddly, it was there all by itself, no other Class I sets anywhere to be found.

I stopped by 2 other Ross' while I was out but they had nothing, so pretty hit or miss I guess.

Saw these all today for the first time at Walmart. Ugh. Boggles my mind they can crank this stuff out but can't spare any resources for the Clone Wars.

What is the source material for this version of the Gunship? What specifically is this design based on?

At the end? Yeah, weird-o-rama. I was really pulling for the Rick/Tyreese bromance to blossom tonight, guess it was not to be.

The first 6 minutes were complete awesomeness. Epic chaos. And then later I was glad to see them all realize that bringing Merle back into the group was just not possible. That's the kind of weak crap lesser shows would throw together just for the contrived drama. Welcome to your new spin-off show "Walking Dixons"...

Not sure I am getting what's up between Glenn and Maggie. Just general PTSD tension? Seems like he was more pissed at Rick, which again seems kind of misplaced.

Those 2 white dudes with Tyreese and his lady look like some prime walkerbait.

Crazy-ass Rick though, what can you say...let's hope this does not last long because I was just getting used to born-again badass Rick.

Best hour I spend in front of the TV all week!

The Clone Wars / Re: The Future of the Clone Wars Toy Line?

Found it...this was what I was thinking of Pete, from Hasbro's 2013 Product Information:

STAR WARSŪSAGA LEGENDS 3.75-INCH ACTION FIGURES
(Approximate retail price: $5.99; Ages: 4 & up; Available: Fall 2013)
These STAR WARS 3.75-inch action figures include the same high quality design kids have been enjoying for years, but now at a new lower price. The line includes characters from the STAR WARS movies as well as the STAR WARS: The Clone Wars animated series. Each sold separately.

So, who knows really? Sounds like they are kind of all over the place with their info right now...
