Picked up all six Last Crusade figures today.

I've only opened the Grail Knight, Henry Jones Sr. and Vogel.

I'm not disappointed by any of these figures. Vogel's uniform has a lot of nice details. The Grail Knight is nicely detailed as well. The Henry Jones figure is really nice and comes with a lot of nice accessories. The fact that they even sculpted the umbrella to be a separate piece from the suitcase was a nice touch.

The Legacy Collection / Re: Previews Exclusive Pirate TIE Fighter

Here's my question about this - why could THIS have been the version that just came out at TRU?!?! Why did we need a Clean White TIE, a Dirty White TIE and now a "Pirated" White TIE. It's getting ridiculous AND expensive.

I think this will definitely be available on July 26th, I can't see them NOT making this available. Guess sleeping in front of the WalMart after hitting midnight madness at TRU will be in the cards for me this year. In 2005, it was sleeping in front of the Target to make sure I was first in line to score some Lava Reflection Vaders.

BTW, these are technically 30AC.  They're supposed to be among the last offerings of that line, acting as something of a bridge to the Legacy Collection with the Droid Factory concept.

Nick is 100% correct, the packaging is more akin to the Order-66 sets which closely match the colors and decoration of stuff in the TAC line. Even though these sets feature the "Droid Factory" concept, they do not sport the blue/white packaging that will be on all Legacy Collection items.

Scored the Droid Factory sets and the WalMart 2nd wave of exclusive comic 2-packs this morning on my way to work.

Grabbed five complete sets of the droid factory 2-packs. These all seem really well done. Two of the sets were for a friend, the other three are for me.

Can't wait to get home tonight and assemble a C-3PX!

Picked up a mess of them today at a WalMart on my way to work.

Grabbed sets for myself and my friend, they put out two of those trays in the picture from YakFace, I grabbed all of the Kashyyyk sets (10 in total), one tray's worth of the Lando/Stormtrooper set (5) and three of the Anakin/Dooku set.

These are pretty nice, the real gem is the Kashyyyk set. I will also be checking to see if the purple color matches with the stuff we have for Mace Windu - I'm hoping it does 'cause that's where I was going to put them - in with Mace's squad of clones.

What gets me is that those two clones look like rigid statues on those BARC speeders. It's almost like one of the clones should have a text bubble that reads "Ahhhhh! Why can't I bend my knees and elbow!?!?!?!"

Could the Commander figure be that Commander Fox figure that's in the Target inventory control system?

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Target TFU Battle Rancor

Thanks Chewie - I knew I saw a pic with the Apprentice facing off with more than one Rancor and Shaak Ti. Well, I'm not going to go crazy with four of them to open, but two is a good number.  ;D

I guess I'm going to keep it and open it. They will make an excellent center-piece on the shelf where I display all of the Force Unleashed figures.

Meh, not a big deal.  I want white dress Marion, anything else is gravy.

The White Dress Marion figure is CRUCIAL to me, I really want them to update all of the vintage figures.

I really want a Marion from KotCS. I want her just as much as I want Mac and Oxley. So basically just to cover all of the major characters in the movie.

So what are they planning for the next wave of KotCS figures? I find it hard to believe that any wave of 6 - 8 figures for that movie wouldn't include her.

I like it! Wish the picture as a bit clearer. I also wish we had a good shot of the bottom of the box - a lot of times that gives more information than just looking at the item through the window in the front.

Thanks Dressel... hmmm... not so sure I like that one.

Yeah - this new version just looks odd to me, I'm not quite sure why but I think a lot of it has to do with the light gray legs - the Mygeeto version of this figure just looks better with darker gray legs.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Target TFU Battle Rancor
« on: June 9, 2008, 08:42 PM »
I've picked up three of these, I'm still kinda torn on whether or not I REALLY need/want to have two of them open. I wish I had a better understanding of the role these play in the game. Like if the Secret Apprentice faces off against Shaak Ti backed up by two of these, then having two open would be cool. If he only faces off against a lone Felucian on a Rancor, then having two would be pointless. Minimally, it would be interesting to see if Shaak Ti rides a Rancor as well, so if one day they release a figure of her from the game, I could always put her in the saddle of one.

Best/Worse case scenario is that the three I bought helps us get a repaint of this excellent beasty for Jabba's palace.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: TRU "Hoth Patrol" Battle Pack
« on: June 9, 2008, 08:36 PM »
I picked up a pair of these (one to open and one to keep MIB).

I mostly grabbed it 'cause I only picked up one of the Ultra Edition Wampas from the Saga1 line and if I ever wanted to display separately a Wampa running through my Echo base figures, this was as good a chance as any to score that figure.

Same thing with the Tauntaun, I'm hoping to just customize a Hoth Rebel Soldier to put in the saddle.

The Luke is a throw-away figure here. I wish they had put in the display base pieces from the original figure relase and ultra Wampa, just so I could have a second display of the Luke hanging upside down, but oh well.

The STAP Attack set is by far a better exclusive set when compared to this one, but that's in my opinion. I just got a $10 off $50 at TRU that expires June 30th and I'm currently leaning towards grabbing two more STAP Attacks just 'cause I bring the cost per set down to the regular Target/WalMart battle pack price.

Has anyone seen this set go back up as "In Stock"?

I didn't order one 'cause I want three complete sets of six, so it would be pointless for me to order 3 of the Han set only to still have to track down the remaining 15 sets I need.

I was kinda hoping that WalMart would offer a "Complete Set of Six" option from their website. But they didn't do that with their Comic 2-pack exclusives, so I don't know why I would expect that with these.
