No purchases, but I did spot the 3 new Target 3-packs out on the pegs today. The Bossk/IG-88 set looked kinda cool, but overall meh. Do not recall having seen these before...

So they finally address the distribution problem, and the solution is to reship them all in 2012?
How does that get rid of the 10 million clones and sandtroopers clogging the pegs?
Case assortment needs to be part of the fix as well.

Some of that stuff looked amazing, esp the Wampa shots. Hell yeah.
But why do those cut scenes LOOK so bad? It's like they filmed them all through a dirty shotglass on the worst quality film they could find.
I don't see why they can't use all the amazing technology that gives Bruce Willis the appearance of hair in his movies to actually make these resemble something other than a 1970's public school filmstrip.

Does anyone know what time the Hasbro Slide Show presentation starts? I was thinking 11am but I can't recall if that is EST or PST time...
I actually took time off work to watch this. Yes, I am a huge nerd.

Yeah, the new scenes look incredible, the visuals in this show are just amazing.
I asked the question on the Blog Cast last night if this battle was supposed to replace the Tartakovsky continuity but I was of course ignored.

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: Clone Wars General Battle Pack Thread
« on: July 22, 2011, 08:30 AM »
So several reports are popping up around the 'net of the new wave of BP's being spotted at Target for $19.99. The reports are somewhat light on details though, so it's uncertain which BP's are being found, whether it is the set of 4 or full set of 6. (The extra 2 being those crappy repacks, Zillo Beast and Droid Capture)
People also neglect to mention whether these BP's are being found AFTER Target has done their reset, BEFORE the reset, or in the midst of the reset. The whole reset thing seems to be the key to them putting the new toys out.
I stopped in a Target yesterday that was just starting their reset and they said it would take days to finish.
If anyone spots these out and about, hopefully you can pass along the new DPCI. Thanks!

Yeah, and they stubbornly refuse to clearance their clearly stagnant exclusive battlepacks. (Hostage Crisis, etc)
Why are they still clinging to those things at full price?

Followed the live blog of the Clone Wars TV presentation that just wrapped. Not a whole lot of interest there.
Some tidbits for the upcoming season:
Boba and Bossk will be back, along with Dengar.
Confirmed "Captain Ackbar" will be making an appearance, along with some kind of shark-Separatist villain.
Talked about some 4 armed Jedi General, Krell (sp?) Adi Gallia will be back too.
Said Pre and the Death Watch will be back, confirmed Katee's appearance, did not deny Lux would be a possible love interest for Ahsoka.
Also confirmed Nightsisters and Savage will be back, along with Asajj.
Filoni has written 8 different possible endings for Ahsoka, ultimate decision will come down from St George.
No new trailer shown.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: The Spider-Man Movie Series
« on: July 21, 2011, 03:17 PM »The same contract stipulation exists with Fox having the rights to the Fantastic Four. I know that they have to have another movie by a certain date or the rights revert back to Marvel on that franchise as well, which is why Fox has a FF reboot planned for 2013. (which I suppose allows them to retain the rights)
This is the best news I have heard all day. As a DIEHARD FF comic collector, I am more than ready to replace my memory of that dreadful franchise with something all new. I mean, I literally do not think they could possibly do any worse.
Replace all the actors, creative team, everything. And note to whoever takes that mess over:
1) Galactus is not a cloud
2) Alicia Masters is white
