Sidious was one of the main figures I have been waiting on since ROTS.  I like the headsculpt but unfortunately the clothing really looks bad IMO.  But I love the cardback and will just have to "deal" with it until they release another version in 2017.

The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: Boba Fett Mail-Away Offer?

That is the beauty of it for Hasbro.  They can say if you want it to be pristine we will 'have to" raise the price.  So, the next mail away after that Clone Wars Brianiac looking figure you can bet we'll see a higher price.  I thought maybe they would give us the clamshell like the Lucas Trooper...nope.

Great limit Jabba The Hutt but clearance the Dewback and AT-ST.  Gotta love Wally World!

Well again I always thought it was actually a smart move by Hasbro to make the animated style of figures for the cartoon series.  Mainly for the kids of course.  If they would not have then you would have had people begging for the cartoon style.   I just assumed they would also make "realistic" versions of the main figures because they would see dollar signs with that.  It sounds like they are finally going down that road.  This way they can make both camps happy.  Yay.

I hope the cardbacks go longer than 2 years myself but that's because I'm old.  They really did need to give Luke a different picture on the cardback but sort of figured they would use the old one.  I thought they were going to give Yoda the ROTS cardback since clearly they are going for that with the figure.  Or even AOTC. 

At any rate there are some solid figures in the wave.  I don't think it's the greatest wave ever but that Gamorrean Guard has to be one of the better figures they have ever made.  They have done some nice Jabba's Palace/Skiff figures over the years now.  Ephant Mon, Hermi Odle, Gam Guard, and some others.

The least one that I can find so far is Luke Bespin.  Although I can obviously find him it just seems like he is selling good between the 3 main stores I look at.  But sure 4-LOM, Dengar, Cloud Car Pilot, AT-AT Driver, C-3PO all seem to sit the most. 

Kind of early for pegwarming status though.  Maybe after next month we'll know for sure.  AT $8 a pop they should be sitting right?  ::)

Yep, he'll keep hanging on to things here and there and send out a few at a time.  He purposely holds back on this stuff to build up the hype and wait for a sufficient enough percentage of people out there to own a certain type of player.   It always strikes me funny because he's always trying to be technologically ahead of the "rest of the crowd" but always lags way behind the rest to actually put his films on it.

The only thing that kind of surprised me was that they did not show the entire ROTJ wave carded.  They only showed the Endor Soldier.  I guess I know what the cards will look like from 1983 but you know what I mean. 

264
 It's a nice set I suppose but these are going to rot on the shelves I think.  They should have broken them up and sold them individually in my opinion.  The only set that really kind of pulls me is the Bespin set because of the Wing Guard, but not enough to drop the amount of money they want for all 9 figures. 

Anyway, it's a pass for me but at the same kind of a nice vintage nod that we were not expecting. 

265
Yeah, I wish they would have added the astromech droid again.  Oh well.

266
I'm actually pretty happy to see these.  Especially Grizz and they grey Y-Wing Pilot. I can always add a TIE Fighter pilot to the mix.  The astromech droids are always welcome. 

I am sure we'll see Battle over the Death Star and Battle on Hoth sets at some point  ;)

267
I really like the Anakin and Padme peasant figures. I may pick up Mace and Kit Fisto.  I really want Jango Fett from this wave.  I don't know why they even bothered with the Royal Guard but he looks good.  I am just plain tired of the Super Battle Droid but it seems to sell well.  I kind of thought maybe they would add a clonetrooper instead of the Royal Guard but whatever.

 I think it will be mostly what they showed at the SDCC with a few more things like the AOTC wave like Scott said.  I am hoping for some sneak peak stuff from the ANH wave but I don't expect it.  I suppose they may show carded figures from the ROTJ wave? 

I am just not getting my hopes up as far as new reveals go.  It will primarily just be showcasing stuff that is out now or in the very new future we have already heard about or seen. 

But hey if they want to announce they are making a Sail Barge feel free to do so Hasbro  ;D

12" Figures / Re: 12" Scale Yoda Hut... Holy Crap.
« on: July 31, 2010, 10:56 AM »
The hut is beautiful.  I don't really know how to afford it but I ordered it anyway.

Well...the nitpickers would be mad if it did not say Darth Vader.  Let's face it...he is Darth Vader at that point during the film.
