What do you mean as up in age...?    

Plastic surgery, not always a bad thing.

LOL!

Not in a bad way. I just meant many women let themselves go after a certain amount of time. Demi hasn't slipped yet  ;)

I know a lot of that is due in part to her having money... personal trainer... some "cosmetic surgery"  ;D... but damn she's still"all good baby... baby"  ;)

To think she's with someone FIVE years younger than I am!!!

LOL

He's cool but the face looks a little too animated for my liking. Still a nice addition to the collection.

Vader on the other hand...

I got to see this guy at Hasbro in March and thought it was cool then... Now that I own it on the otherhand...

Very 1/2... attempt on Hasbro's part.

He has the lame flowing cape from the Bespin Vader which I can not stand. His belt buckle is on backwards... I mean Hasbro how many Vaders have you done now and you can't remember which way it goes....

His hand is NOT removable... Uhhh... Yeah....
And as with 99% of the action features this one s*cks!

A huge let down on Vader... and one of my favorite evil men of all time.  :(

Top 5 hottie huh...

OK... (no particular order)

1 Demi Moore

You go Ashton!!! A lady as up in age that looks as good as Demi deserves the credit she gets. She's always been  hottie to me though.



2 Rose McGowan

Mmmm... good!  ;)



3 Alyssa Milano

Who's your dad- err I mean... Who's the boss?



4 Gwen Stefani

My blonde pick... Not into blondes as you can see... but Gwen... Ahhh... Gwen



5 My wifey

Corny? Maybe to some but she's my hottie that I share life with and am very happy to do so... (Don't mind the geek in the pic  ;D)

Saga '02-'04 / Re: New Target Accessory Sets
« on: July 7, 2003, 11:48 AM »
I agree on the taking just the accessories to the FC.
I mean package them in a generic white box and voila'...

The figs could easily be skipped on because none of them were worth their weight in plastic IMO.

Also these could be used as part of a Jedi Master points promo. As of now there is a "specific" figure that is due to be used for a Jedi Master points promo. I have tried everything I can to get it out of my source but to no avail... [yet anyway  ;)
So in essence give people a few choice and make these one!!!

That'd make too much sense though Hasbro  ;)

OCB the Cantina sets are definitely sitting around waiting to be picked up on... Though production was halted during the process. So there are units that will hit, which is due to be the Euro market (another Eopie/Qui Gon horror), there is not as many as Hasbro planned on from what I hear.

I think the Cantina sets will be harder to get but not impossible. I think those that work the hobby will get them, but those that sit around and wait for everything to just fall on their lap will miss the boat...

Keep in mind many online retailers have orders in... some may get them others won't... but as long as they hit Europe we should be better off than nothing...

To be honest though you're not missing a whole lot on these ;)

Of course with Hasbro anything is "subject to change" and these could easily be back to being US exclusives... but this is the word as of now.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Saga A-wing
« on: July 7, 2003, 10:27 AM »
The pilot is pretty cool but nothing more than a rehash and head swap with repainting. I'd at least liked to have a new head... but ahhh I'm still liking this piece a lot.

The Y-Wing that is "due" to come out will just be in a  different squadron color (i.e. red, blue...). I haven't heard much about it yet, just that it has been on internal Hasbro lists.

There are a few goodies on internal lists right now... thing is will they see the light of day...

Newbies / Re: Hello To All
« on: July 7, 2003, 10:23 AM »
Thanks for the welcomes so far!

Seems like a place to do just that DSJ...
Some may also remember my earlier stints on Yakface as "Sidster", on the Jawa as the same, and recently on the Trade Federation as just... well... "Jimmy"....

I've been a pretty active member of the community for a while now and hopefully have been able to share some good stuff.

I know some liked that Playmates Bespin Luke article on TF... which honestly I was very happy to share with everyone.


Thanks again

Just wanted to let all know Adam (BDW) is a great trader/seller.

I recently nabbed all four army builders sets from him for a great price. The scenes are a little fuller and I'm a little happier!

Saga '02-'04 / Target Saga A-Wing
« on: July 6, 2003, 09:30 PM »
I recently nabbed one of these puppies from Singapore and got it in this week.

I got to say this is a pretty nice piece. Even though it wasn't in the movie I find it far better than the A-Wings first incarnation.

Hasbro did an incredible job on the paint aps for this piece, and shows to me what they are capable of.
Of course these types of things are just money pieces for Hasbro since every single thing is rehashed, but that aside it's worth the moolah.

I don't have a TIE Fighter yet, but from what I've seen this one will knock that one out the box.

Hopefully this won't be another Target nightmare ala' Skiff and Y-Wing. Although with another Y-Wing due to come out some people might be a little happier in the future... Well, that is if you don't mind it in a different color...  ;)

Gentle Giant / Re: Vader mini bust
« on: July 6, 2003, 09:22 PM »
Definitely insane to say the least.
I tried as did my wife to get the CC though we both received the "Yoou have too many revolving accounts" denial.

Funny we own a house, two cars, a number of cc's and just refinanced... OH well...

The 7500 points is absurd IMHO. I mean the way I see it is that bust costs you $7500!!! Uh... yeah...  ::)

Again... Could be legit... but it is easily faked.

The tape on anything Hasbro uses is easily removable with no sign of tampering at all. It can also be purchased at any office supply store... let alone the fact that if done correctly it can be resealed with the same tape itself.

Anyone that has been in the game long enough knows that this kind of stuff happens all the time, and can be done very easily.

Aside from that many packages ranging from 12" to playsets to vehicles have come out of freshly cracked cases w/ two layers of tape. So basically that could be done and in a sense no one could argue that it's 100% fake.

I have many 12" with two layers of tape one on top of the other all of which came from freshly opened cases.

Power of the Force 2 / Re: Carded Spirit of Obi Wan
« on: July 6, 2003, 06:56 PM »
Actually there was a carded protoype of this figure...
Thought the proto card was far from any other Hasbro carded figure.

If I can find pics of it on some of my saved disks I'll post it here.

The proto though was a pretty rare piece itself... a lot more rare than some protos out there.

Actually went a checked Gus' site (which was far quicker) and found pics from Ed Albano on there. Not sure if Ed still owns the piece or not but here it is...

Obi Wan Spirit proto carded

Could be legit... though it is easily faked.

I have an Emperor 12" boxed that has a "Glow in the Dark Lighsaber included" stick attached that came from an old Hasbro source of mine. So in essence Hasbro does foul up at times... We all know that much.

So hard to say for sure... but most signs point to this being a switch...

Saga '02-'04 / Re: New Target Accessory Sets
« on: July 6, 2003, 05:44 PM »
As of now these are on an indefinite hold for Big H.
Now have been produced past the prototype stage, unlike the Cantina sets that have been produced in decent numbers all packaged and all.

I'd rather see some these accessories thrown in with regular issue figs, or even vehicles. Nothing really got me excited on these... and I think IMO that these would've warmed pegs even more than the previous four.

I do think though we'll see either the sets in the future... or at least many of the accessories.
