Finished off the revenge set thanks to Target. I think I'm done until 2012 clearances start.

Picked up a red Bib- As far as the dx chases go, he remains somewhat reasonably priced on occasion.

My Saga Tauntauns have been sitting in a bucket for a couple of years. I don't see any reason to replace them, especially at that price.

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: Clone Wars Wave 27 (2012 Wave 2)
« on: October 16, 2011, 09:00 AM »I don't get it. 19 figures in 2012? Seems strange.
I agree- we keep hearing that current media support drives sales of toys to kids and gift givers(whether it is a theatrical release or television show), and here is a television series aimed at kids at the mid-point of the run, and very little product to go with it.
I've been hunting aqua droid, ahsoka, serpias, and others for months, and I have the advantage that I know they were even released, and hit stores several (and sometimes many) times a week. What are the chances of a 9-10 year old actually getting some of these toys, or even knowing they were produced? I wouldn't want to see pegs overflowing with clone wars either, but if anything needed to be put to rest for a bit, it should have been legends/heroes. At least until CW had run its' course on television.
As long as I am taking the opportunity to rant- Lucasfilm could have done a way better job of keeping CW information going to Hasbro in a timely manner. Figure releases aimed at kids a year or more after the episode airs is pretty poor planning, but isn't necessarily the fault of the toy manufacturer. The timing of CW wasn't anything special, it could have been held back a year to synch the merchandise and the media.
(edit- found an Aqua droid this a.m. at Target!)

The Vintage Collection / Re: The 2011 Mail-In Prototype Armor Boba Fett
« on: October 11, 2011, 04:16 PM »
I received mine today as well- despite not being double boxed like the rocket fett, the one I opened appeared to have held up well. The cardboard insert that wraps around the bubble was a good idea-
The gray does seem a bit dark, but I like the look. Nice figure, and I love mail-aways- it sure beats the store distribution system. Thanks Hasbro!

Star Wars Universe / Re: Star Wars on Blu-Ray
« on: October 1, 2011, 10:18 AM »
I like the cleaning up of effects as well, and can live with some additions (ships, windows, stormtroopers). But I do think the originals need to be preserved for posterity. And as long as that is the case, I would like a copy 
After watching more of the interviews and extras on the blu rays, I'm glad I picked them up. Watching the extra scenes embedded in the interviews rather than isolated, I see George's points about why he deleted some (Tosche, Han's chick) in the theatrical release. And watching the sandstorm scenes again, it seems more than a few of us would have been complaining for years about Luke just tossing the X wing ladder aside and taking off-
