Uh, Really?

Oh, of course not. JOKING 

I haven't even seen this thing since it first hit weeks ago. I'm not wasting time or gas looking for something I don't even plan to keep. That's twisted.

Crap, I haven't even sent away for this yet...still missing a UPC. Probably too late already. 

The prices for these things on eBay are REDONKULOUS.

It's fun being caught up and all, but I'm about ready to start spending money on some new toys again.

Anyone have a guess as to when we'll see this wave on shelves? At SDCC they indicated September, so I am hoping that is accurate. I am thinking October is probably more likely, but that would be a bummer, becasue I would hate to see them try and squish waves 4 and 5 into Nov/Dec. Too much of a glut during the holiday season, which is the worst time to be on the Hunt.

Nice pics on the front page. Alan looks pretty tight!

You know what REALLY stinks about this? It's that EVERY WalMart will have those p.o.s. DVD 2-packs with the episodes from the Malevolence episode arc from CW Season 1 - you know - the ones NO ONE wants!

 

LOL, I admit being on the fence about these, but will probably pass. What's asinine to me is that they should have those things out right NOW, to capitalize on the show premier in 2 weeks, but nary a sign. They've been out in Canada for weeks now. WTF?

I have thankfully been off the hunt for most of the past 2 weeks, but may check around tonight a bit. I haven't seen jabba outside of the one store here a few weeks back. VERY hit or miss.

I should probably stay away from this thread too, because I shudder to think what my annual budget is. Thousands I would estimate.

I don't really have a budget per se, I just try to buy everything as soon as I see it on the shelves. Around here if you blink it could be gone and never seen again. Sometimes it can be a real pain to juggle the $$$, but I can usually find a way to make it work. Just this past week I had to dump most of my TVC Wave 1 figures just so I could scrape up the cash to buy the new TCW Slave 1.

I really wanted to get all the new vintage stuff, even the vehicles, but the cost, and moreso the space considerations, dictate otherwise.

On the plus side, my REAL vintage collection is nearly complete, so I won't have to siphon money off for that much longer.

That's funny you should ask...those 2 packs they put out are literally the ONLY Clone Wars items, outside of repacked figures, I have never had any interest in purchasing. I buy plenty of other repacked items, like the Holocron Heist BP or the K-Mart exclusive Commando Clone set, but usually there is something special like a new diorama or battle card or some such thing to justify its inclusion in my collection.

Those 2 packs just never did anything for me though. I liked the exclusive ones Walmart had and bought those of course, but other than that, I just have zero interest.

As far as Euro exclusives, the only other TCW one I have of note is the "Legends of the Clone Wars" Multi-pack. (Another repack, but well-packaged and impossible to find on ebay, etc)

I'll try to snap some photos if possible...I just rearranged my whole collection the past few days so it is easy to find.

Saw this wave on the pegs this morning at TRU, along with the Legacy of the Darkside 2-packs and the Rise of Boba Fett UBP. (Yep, major new swag all of a sudden)

I hate to say it, but I had to hop off the TVC bandwagon. I even went home and gathered up most of my Wave 1 figs and returned them to TRU. It was a hard call, I really like most of the figures and the whole vintage homage, but frankly I had to draw the line someplace. Space is becoming a serious consideration, not to mention the looming spectre of The Wife.

Good looking wave though, I may consider picking up a few openers here and there, if only for the UPC's.
