These will just be re-shipments right? It's not like they're changing the packaging up or anything are they?

Well - the guy who wrote that article seems to have the same theory as I do...
For me, it was seeing Alice Eve in the Blue Starfleet Uniform with the same haircut as Sally Kellerman from "Where No Man Has Gone Before"...

Exactly - they actually wrote a really great novel that tells about what happened to Khan and his followers after the Enterprise left them on Ceti Alpha Five.
Khans "wrath" and need for revenge was based solely on the fact that Kirk left them there and "never bothered to check on our progress" as Khan states in the movie.
If Ceti Alpha VI had NEVER exploded, Khan and his people would have worked hard to live a meager existence, free to govern themselves and Khan NEVER would have been angry at Kirk for anything.
My vote is that the bad guy is Gary Mitchell and the blond being played by Alice Eve is Dr. Elizabeth Dehner - so this movie is a re-imagining of the "Where No Man Has Gone Before" events from the original series.

The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: $5 Vintage Collection @ Five Below
« on: November 30, 2012, 05:04 PM »Pete - do you know if the Wedges were the original carded version? I would love to get one or two of those for my carded collection if you happen to see more. Like others, I would absolutely love to scrounge up a few more Gammoreans as well!
What do you consider to be the original? I know there was something about the back being changed at one point, so I'm not sure, I don't follow variations that closely.... (sorry) - if you can show me pics as examples, I can tell you since I did pick one of the Wedge's up and look at it.

Picked up four Gamorrean Guards and a Weequay Skiff Master at Five Below last night on the way home.
The thing I was most amused about was the fact that the case my store got was the one that had Wedge in it - so in addition to all of the other ROTJ figures on the pegs, there were like 6 Wedge figures there too.

Galactic Hunter is speculating that these have been held back until the Spring, but Diddly says he saw these the other day...
Is GH just wildly speculating?

Got my four Republic Attack Dropships from Target & my three 104th Battalion "Wolf Pack" Clone Troopers gift sets from HTS today.
And with that, I am officially closing the book on the Clone Wars collection for 2012.
All I need now is to snag two Vintage Endor AT-ATs from Toys R Us and I'm done for the year

I can't take the credit for that - I got a text from Captain_Piet - he let me know - so he's the one everyone should be thanking...
I also just got my shipping notification from Target.com too - so my Republic Attack Dropships are gonna be here by mid-week next week. Nice!

Movie Heroes / Saga Legends '12-? / Re: Disney Exclusive Build-A-Droid Factory
« on: November 20, 2012, 10:26 AM »What's the total number of droids and the total price?
Well - I have 100 droids in my Wave 1 set - one set of 50 to keep carded and one set of 50 to have open. In each set of 50 there is 2x of each of the different dome.
I also scored some "spare" droids - one for the Naboo Fighter - a White w/Yellow R2 and a pair of droids to give a body to the dome that's coming with the Yoda Jedi Scout Fighter Mini-rig that's coming next year - so that's another three droids, plus I think I have one more coming for use in the TRU Vintage Y-Wing - probably an R5 - it's sad, it's been so long since I thought about these parts and being so busy at work, I'm not even sure what's coming anymore....
When the box comes, I'll snap a few more pictures and post them here.
As far as cost - just the cost of the droids it's been roughly $1225.
That doesn't include the cost of the trip I made in May, the $$$ for shipping that I've given my friend who helped me get the rest AND the extra $$$ I gave my friend for his trouble/effort - which was a bargain compared to having to make several more trips to the park like he did

Movie Heroes / Saga Legends '12-? / Re: 2012 Movie Heroes Class II Vehicles
« on: November 20, 2012, 10:19 AM »Yep, I'm a sucker who plunked down the cash and bought myself a 2012 Class II Wave 2 case from EE. At least I got free shipping... and yes, another Anakin Starfighter for Toys for Tots!
Look at it this way - the Clone Tank, while it is a repaint, if you don't want it, I'm sure there's someone out there who does.
I needed one of each of these vehicles MIB and one of the Naboo Fighter and Tank to open - so I plunked down the money for TWO cases from EE.
I ended up opening the spare Anakin JSF and getting a spare Realistic Clone Wars Anakin figure to pilot it - and I had a spare 2011 Vintage ROTJ R2-D2 that fit perfectly in the droid socket.
So for me the only Anakin JSF that's going to Toys for Tots is the one from my Mando Shuttle - why do I get the feeling that A LOT of boys who benefit from Toys for Tots are gonna get that ship this year LOL...

The Clone Wars / Re: CW Mandalorian Troop Shuttle
« on: November 20, 2012, 10:13 AM »
So I got my 2nd one that I ordered from ToysRUs.com as a back-up - arrived in great shape, so I'm just gonna keep it - as is - in the double-pack with Anakin's ship, just so I have a sample of how MOST people got their hands on this ship here in the US. So now I have one open, one in the special-value-double-pack and the one that I got from ToyWiz for WAY too much money, so I think I'm sufficiently covered when it comes to this vehicle now...

I just ordered four Class 1 Republic Attack Dropships from Target.com - glad to have this ship done and out of the way! All I need now are the big vintage vehicle exclusives from Toys R Us and to grab that fourth wave of Movie Heroes that's out in Asia (if it ever hits here)...

SO jealous of you Greg - I had wanted like you have four to open, I have my MIB one, but at this point, I'll be happy with just ONE open...

Mine had them in when I was there in the morning before work, I was hesitant like you and decided to pass. While at work, I changed my mind and went back after I got out of the office - unfortunately, they totally sold out in just one day.
Oh well - I didn't "need" it - so I guess that's what the universe was confirming for me...
