I can't find the Attack on Hoth set dangit. Time to hit the internet I suppose.

The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: "Vintage" Collection Wave 5 (2011 Wave 1)
« on: November 14, 2010, 09:29 AM »
Luke - Love the cardback and actually think the figure appears to be decent.
Utapau Clone - My favorite of the clonetroopers color schemes. I will nab it primarily for the cardback this time.
Han Solo - Figure is awful in so many ways. I will buy one for the cardback because I love just about every OT figure on these types of cards. I do apologize to the collecting community but it will be done for this purpose only.
Gree - Terrible choice for the photo in my opinion. I may buy him because my son poured him in some sort of sticky goo as punishment from the Jedi for trying to kill Yoda. My son holds quite the grudge against Gree for his Order 66 actions. Seriously. LOL
R5-D4 - Strickly buying this one for the cardback. I loved the last version they made of him.

Yeah, the Lando Skiff really needs an SA resculpt to keep up with all the other Jabba Skiff aliens now. I also wish they would make a new Han Solo out of carbonite. Then again with all the crummy Solo heads from Death Star Escape and the upcoming Yavin celebration maybe that's not a good idea right now?

I actually like 3-D but it does not have to be with EVERY movie of course. I really hope they don't go with the Batman has to face 3 villians at the same time crap. We'll see.

They are just cutting corners. Apparently with head sculpts to. I am not really bothered by them not using the closed shirt (though it would have been a nice touch). I did not think they would bother with it honestly. However, the fact that they have a nice one from the VOTC pisses me off. Use THAT one instead of this cartoonish junk.

« on: October 15, 2010, 11:47 AM »I'm gonna have to try some Targets today - my local Target has 10/17 in the hand-scanners when you ask someone to look up the item by DPCI #.
The employee I asked on Sunday was downright rude about it too.
When they are rude like that I just keep on bugging them about stuff. "Where's the toilet paper at? Do you know where I can find some toenail clippers? Where? Oh....okay." Yeah, I'm odd.

I did resist a strange urge to buy a UGH Anakin. I just don't want to go down that road again

I have just about given up hope on getting this set. To bad as I would have bought it.

I have found the wave at 4 different stores here the past few days. Mainly at Wal-Mart, Target, and TRU. Big surprise right?

The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: TVC will fail...
« on: September 29, 2010, 09:03 AM »
If it tanks then it tanks. I think that has more to do with the overall interest in the 6 movies than anything else. The line of figures has been out there since 1996 - 99 if you want to begin with TPM. That's a pretty good run considering nowadays that toys last maybe 1 year unless they are successful like Cars. The 3D films will get things going again in 2012.
I think this is the best they could do during the down years. Although some all new figures would have helped these first two waves. I can't really count Dak since that's the same orange pilot we've gotten for awhile now. Plus, that Han Solo Hoth figure is sort of new but not really.

TV-9D9 / Re: The death or disappearance of Ahsoka?
« on: September 23, 2010, 05:59 PM »
At some point I would like to see Anakin start to "turn" a bit away from the Jedi. I kind of wonder if they will have something with Ahsoka that he blames the Jedi for somehow. Maybe they "prevent" him from helping her somehow? I don't know. Just tossing it out there. I hope she figures into the overall saga some way but of course not the main reason that he turns. I want to see some more reasons that Anakin turns from the Jedi other than him wanting to save his wife from death. Not that it isn't a good reason but to kill lots of innocent Jedi and such maybe we'll get a bit more oomph to it from this series???

« on: September 23, 2010, 05:52 PM »The real mystery is how they can give K-3PO a figure this good, but for Goldenrod, we get crapped on.
No kidding Chewie. Although my son and I do have fun with the current C-3PO dismantling him and stuff.\, but he needs a ultra accurate sculpt someday. This would have been a nice way to have put out a Torryn Farr IMO. Although I would rather have her carded someday.

The Clone Wars / Re: RC Hailfire Droid
« on: September 16, 2010, 11:58 AM »
Well my 5 year old (soon to be 6) is now wanting this. LOL! I do like it personally. I just did not want to shell out $60 for it since I have the other non-remote control version. That and I shelled out $100 for the big AT-AT. He's got a good chance of getting this because A) he wants it really bad B) he's got plenty of family members willing to get him a "big unique item" that he'll love and C) AOTC is his favorite Star Wars movie because of the Arena and Jedi/Clones vs. Droids/Seperatist action. I really don't see tons of these hanging out in the stores though. Granted I have not really been looking for it. Anyway, it sounds like it will be in our house at the latest by X-mas.

The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: Realistic/Movie Style Clone Wars figures
« on: September 16, 2010, 09:18 AM »Whew, sounds like we can put this rumor to rest...for awhile at least, courtesy of Sandtroopers' QA:
"Likewise, some fans have asked for Vintage-style versions of more modern characters and that too is an avenue that we have chosen not go down. Instead, we'll stick to the separate realistic and animated lines for now, each universe to itself."
Right on Hasbro!
Personally I like that decision, but I am surprised they don't take the opportunity to make some realistic Clone Wars figures. I would think the dollar signs would be dancing in their heads with the chance to put Anakin and Kenobi in yet another form to the masses.
