Leia, well...  I'm shocked anyone's actually happy with the POTJ figure and its massively odd crotch. 

Well, I guess I'm just that oddball that spends remarkably little time looking at the crotch of an action figure, female or not. :-X

Too busy looking at the chests?

I dunno - I wasn't sold on Bossk at first, but after grabbing one, he might be my favorite of the wave.

And the Han IMO is far superior to any Hoth Han we've gotten so far.

Leia and Luke, not a huge need, but (as I ramble on and on about) since I hope they make all of them, I'm perfectly okay with them mixing in some less exciting figures in with the troops and more exciting ones.

For what it's worth Brent, the Gree for Neyo thing is Gree and Malak for Neyo - and yeah, it's still a long shot finding someone with an extra Neyo who wants the deal but it doesn't hurt to try.  The edition size on Neyo is 1500.  800 at Blister, 200 raffled, and 500 in the 5-pack.

I'm mostly hoping to win the raffles for Neyo.  Hopefully it all goes well one more time.

As for London and Bly, I've got two people, one in Spain and one in Belgium who insist that they're going to get an extra Bly, and they want to trade for Cody.  So I'm hoping to land a pair of Cody's as well.


Rough stuff trying to assemble a set of these.




As for the Royal Guards - looks like they did that anticipating that some people will want 2 Reds.  I'll be happy with 1 of each, and at 3333 and 6667, I don't think either will be too hard to come by.  The shop I've been buying from refuses to guarantee orders, but insists that they've never been unable to fill a pre-order.

Wait a second Brent... I've sent you FOUR birthday cards.

Are you telling me that none of them have gotten there yet!?


Damn customs!   >:(

It's a mixed bag.  On one hand I'm happy about it because I have some Gentle Giant trading power now. 

On the other hand, I feel rotten about having two of each of these, and not selling them at cost to someone who's looking for them.

But I'll be damned if I'm paying $250 or $350 for Neyo.  And I want one.

It's been a month of Gentle Giant madness here...  First the 3 busts from C-IV came in the mail.  Then Zuckuss, Jango, and Obi-Wan arrived on consecutive Wednesdays at my local shop.

Then today I find out I won the raffles for Malak and Gree busts.


So, if anyone manages to pick up an extra Neyo and wants to trade - both can be had for a lone Neyo.

If that doesn't work, I'm going to be looking to trade Gree for Bacara or Bly, and Malak for Mara Jade.


Just throwing it out there.

Oil to Run Out Sooner Than Expected

And you're looking at WWIII if we don't have something in place by the time it gets really dire.

Exactly.

We've now been conditioned to be happy with $3.00 gas.



A few years ago when it hit $2.00, I thought to myself, this is just a big scam so that when it goes back down and settles at $1.50, we'll all be happy, even if it's 50% more than the $1.00 we were used to.

Then when it hit $3.00 last summer, I thought, we're going to be thrilled when it goes back down and settles at $2.00 a gallon - what a scam.

I don't think that's the case anymore.  I think it's as simple as keeping prices as high as possible in relation to public outcry and the level of attention they're drawing from lawmakers.

I hope I live to see the day when most people drive cars that run on something else.

Well, thanks to a push from a fellow collector (thanks BrentS), I just pre-ordered this Wave from NFC.  This is my first case purchase and I'm having a bit of sticker shock, but I know that this is for the best as I want everything from this wave.  Considering that this Wave also comes packed with the Wave 4 Concept Vader and a Stormtrooper, it made pre-ordering it a no brainer.  And thankfully this won't ship until Sept/Oct, so I'll have enough time to save my pennies...

I just did this as well - also my first case order.  I decided that from now on when a case assortment has all new stuff in it, I'm doing it this way.  And I know it looks like a big chunk of change, but it's a hair over $7.00 per figure, even with shipping.  It costs LESS doing it this way than it would buying them in stores. 

If this experience goes well for me, I'll definitely be ordering from them for all assortments that have new figures only.

I plan to replace half of my VOTC Army with these guys.

Perhaps a few Sandtroopers (Evo, Tin and Saga) with them as well.

I'll probably stop at 12 though.

Paul, if you do this - let me know.  Maybe we could work out a deal or trade for your old ones?  I like the VOTC version just fine.

I hope they're not animated - I'm not buying any more animated style things.



Or maybe I should hope they're animated, so I can save a small fortune.

At last, my bedroom is the farm I always knew it could be.

Your bedroom ain't jack until Hasbro makes a pack-in dehumidifier.

Nope.  I want the moisture vaporators.



I don't even know what that thing does.  I'm assuming it was on Owen's farm.



They are supposed to suck up moisture from the air and condense it into water.

Sort of the crop of the moisture farm I guess.

I will buy Stormtroopers as I find them though.  But with around 80 or 90 already, it's no big deal either way on those.
