I always thought that Jango's skin tone was natural, not a tan...

Well, Temuera Morrison is from New Zealand and he's Maori - so yes, his skin tone is natural and not a tan.

But Jango Fett and the clones that ended up as Biker Scouts?  Who the hell knows?

It's hard to keep your tan wearning biker scout armor all day long.

I did not realize all DS gunners were turning into "Sith" with Red Eyes...will not bother me though, since they will never have their helmets off to reveal the "Clone trooper" head.

That's how I'm going to look at it too.  If they wanted to do various heads, I'd be cool with it - but if they want to put Jango's head on everything, they'll never see daylight at my collection.

He also has two chins, for twice the ass-kicking power. I got to write a databank entry in the prequal Trilogy forum on him.

Isn't that second chin just the helmet strap?

It was pretty rare... I have a couple loose and am glad I got them when I did.  Here's some on ebay...

ASCENSION GUN AMIDALA

 :)

What a rip off.  I got real lucky and found that entire wave at Target on clearance (even though they were brand new, they got caught up in the rest of the E1 clearance sales) for $2.50 each.  I never saw them anywhere else.

Not really...

It wasn't a politcs thread, it was a current events thread.



Last time I checked, King George calls it that Global War on Terror (or is it the global war on radical extremists...?)

You can't get much more related to the war than that.

Are the hobo names still in our future?  I'm anxious to read installment 5 of 70.

I was already pretty sure I wouldn't buy it - but that pack-in is so lame that the clearance price that it would take for me to buy one is getting lower and lower.

I'm thinking $20 or $30 tops, and you can bet that visor would never be raised.

Rebelscum requires it.  500 posts and that's it.  The issue started when they converted their old software to the new software - the old War and Politics (somethingl ike 10,000 posts at the time) wouldn't open.  They blamed it on the new software and started us a new thread from scratch.

And that's been the rule ever since.

The software CAN handle bigger threads - ours in the local DFW section went well over 500 without incident, but for some reason they still insist on making part 3, part 4, part 9 of certain threads.

Baffling.

Yeah, I learned my lesson on stuff like this when I shelled out $155.00 for an EXCLUSIVE and LIMITED TO 5,000 Imperial Shuttle that later ended up at kbkids for $60.00.

I just can't believe our software doesn't require us to make a 'part 2' thread when we get to 500 posts on a topic.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy that i didnt need to buy this thing. Now i have to reconsider for a figure.  :-[

If you do, you'll just be encouraging more of these dirty tactics to sell you the same vehicle twice.

I'm passing unless it can be had for less than half the price at some point. 


And I really, really hope that's not supposed to be a Jango-face under there.

I'm only speculating.  It also seems to me that every time they put a new pack-in into the line, that's when the price of a figure jumps a dollar or more.  Commtech Chips, These Holograms, Flashback cards... etc...   Which makes me wonder if the price increases are to offset the costs of making the pack-ins, or if the pack-ins are used as an inexpensive way to legitimize raising the price.

I'm guessing the second.
