I broke the habit right around AOTC and am glad I did! I do collect Vader's Carded. because he's been on practically every card. I figure if I have one version of a card in the collection do I need 500? a FF vader looks cooler than a FF Malikilli! Plus it's easier and creates a IMHO nicer display to focus on one or 2 characters carded (Vader, Yoda, R2 and you'd pretty much cover every line, from the original 12 to now, except special circumstances, like AOTC preview, ROTS preview, but you coudl get those astromechs... and then ALL loose.

Here is a US link to the shelves: http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10103&storeId=12&langId=-1&productId=11638

Personally I'm going with these in white: http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?topcategoryId=15561&catalogId=10103&storeId=12&productId=60979&langId=-1&categoryId=15645&chosenPartNumber=00093136

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Poster Figures
« on: October 31, 2006, 06:21 AM »
I'd love to see it, preferably single carded, somethign like the McQuarrie signature series figures where they are taking concept figures and making a nice little sub-line. The website says the figure is 2 1/2" wide and woudln't fit ona card but latley the bubbles have been larger, not sure about the 30th cards bubble size, though. We will have a concept Vader, maybe this will be it...that would be a let down, but I hope we get the figure in some form.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Battle of Naboo Wave
« on: October 17, 2006, 06:38 PM »
I got my case form EE last week.

My Reviews:

The Old

E1 Obi-wan: repack...I am not keeping this one, I bought this in april of 1999. Now with cloth cloak, and the 'real hair' ponytail. blah

Vader: Disappointing repack...I bought this figure in a better form about 5 or 6 years ago. The removable hand reveals a long forearm of 'endo-skeleton', (not like the movie) the helmet is more opaque, the little lighting bolt fits badly, the less paque version with painted lighting was way better....It is a step back from the POTJ figure.

Holo Maul: Needed Figure but Disapointing repack, a 1999 figure that does not represent the scene it is meant to be from...also the saber is a brittle plastic, and stuck in the plastic prety good, I thoguht i broke it while removing it. I like holos but they could have at least kit bashed better arms...

The O.K.

Endor Luke: a Good repack. It is the same figure you bought twice in the OTC collection, once as Jedi Luke once as a hologram, this time with a black gloved hand, removable Endor Helmet, removable belt with working holster, and removable poncho...I do not recommend removing the poncho, hard to get back on.

Endor Rebel (Black): A decent kitbash/new figure, and an army bulder but one that is made to look like an individual. But there have been plenty of unique looking Endor rebels to have a unique squad of at least 6 troops, nice to see diversity. The backpack won't go on worth a crap, the helmet and (poor) arms are the same, this figure features a ball jointed head, a working holster (and a fleet trooper pistol) and ball jointed knees. Too bad they left the bad arms....he comes with a pistol and arms designed to hold a rifle...Half-assed-bro doing their typical shoddy work.

The New

Representitive Been: Brand New Sculpt, I always thought his name was Rep, but that was short for Representitive, apparently. An average 'Statue' background figure like many senator/political type figure. looks good though, not really ever  him high on ANYONES lists of new figure to be made...

Naboo Soldier: Brand New, doesn't look as bad as it did in pictures, looks a little too bulky though, good articulation & the second brand new all bland figure I never ever heard anyone clamor for...

Gragra: Everyone likes aliens, detailing and accesories (gorgs and a hatchet are appropriate, like to have seen a piece likd her food stall, similar to how they did the Coruscant bar. the Puppet looking mouth is very poory executed, should have sculpted the head with out it.

Mars Guo & Dud Bolt: the best of the figures...TWO brand new figures, both with removable goggles, ball jointed heads, mars has swivel arms, dud has swivel wrists, and the both come with weapons. Dud's gun has a weird strap, mars is a familair looking gun, anyone know if it is new or not? Personally I'd rather have seen them come with a tool or Pit droid crate rather than guns they can't hold well. they did seem to forget to paint Dud's legs, the belt straps are sculpted on, but the legs are all one color, so he kinda looks like he's wearing speedos. 

Overall, I was pretty disapointed with the figures...

Hasbro is really trying to get me to quit buying things from them...i am buying less and less all the time.

Endor Rebel Trooper (afican american version)

Is there an Africa or America in the SW Universe?  :)

I got notice from EE that my Wave 7 case has shipped...the last 3 cases I pre-ordered from them I ended up cancelling becuase I found the figs locally first. I haven't even heard of them hitting locally yet...

Saga Collection '06 / Re: '06 Holiday Figure
« on: October 7, 2006, 02:23 PM »
They are meant to be creative and obviously have no place in Star Wars canon anyway.

Creativity went out the window last year...the other 3 at least were based on a precedent (previous Lucasfilm Holiday Cards). Last years was a test to see what crap people would buy. This years is even better:

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Have You/Could You Give up the Basic Line?
« on: September 28, 2006, 10:10 PM »
my collecting of the 3 3/4 line is coming to an end.   Not stopping altogether yet- but buying only those characters that haven't been produced before (cantina/ Jabba aliens for example) and the occasional (as mentioned earlier in the thread) remake of an existing figure if the sculpt is a vast improvement.   

This is exactly where I am. After large amount of repaints in the OTC line, I stopped collecting one of every figure loose. Just like I stopped collecting one of every figure carded back during POTJ, it started becoming a space issue. Hundreds of figures carded/boxed vs. hundreds of figures loose. I figured back them if i have a Vader carded, I had a representation of that card type in my collection, and focusung on cards of characters I like (Vader/Yoda) rather than figures like Malikili and ugnaughts, made mor esense to me. The same thing happened with the repaints. Even though the repaints in OTC looked nice, I had jawas, scanning trooper etc, did I need them with painted highlights, too? Did I need 5 packs with 3 figures I have and one repainted? Do I need a vehicle just because it has a new figure? No, No, No...Now it's just new characters and/or nicely done resculpts and some repaints/kit bashes that are "new" characters (i.e Muftak the Jedi, droid 5 pack repaints, etc)

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Luke Snowspeeder Concept...
« on: September 5, 2006, 06:38 PM »
I like that Conquistador helmet packed in with the one on the right hand side, lol.
 ;D

I'd liek to see the body reused for Wedge, Jansen, etc...

27
Yeah, look at the figure now, it won't even stand up.

That's what bases are for.

Figures should be able to stand without having a base. You sound like a Hasbro rep.

That's what bases are for...but what are coins/fact files/slides/ holo pieces for???

I only  wish we were getting stands...


28
Mace's Droid,Kitik,Devil Guy & Kabe & the guy he comes with.The others suck.

"The others" that suck...umm I guess that'd leave Aurra? I never read the comics so I won't buy her, she does look OK in a piratey way, I guess.

Mace's Droid is the only one I'll buy, since he was briefly shown in the Clone Wars toon in the wing of his ship, then soon after blown up...

The others I already have with different paint....thanks for making me buy Ktik at Kmart last year hasbro, with 2 other figures I had and 3 bar sections I already had....you #!%%!...

 

29
I'm not buying these...3 repainted "new" figures and 9 I already have for $75...one big PASS on that....
I'd gladly buy the AT-RT, Clone and droid repaints....I already bought the others once...

I can't remember who said it earlier in this thread, but I wonder what they're going to say (if anything) in the post-SDCC Q&As considering that at least half of their answers so far to things have been "Wait until SDCC."

Well, Doc, they'll be saying "we'll answer that at Toyfare '07", followed by "We'll answer that at C4", followed by "We'll answer that at Nerd Prom '07*"
