Thanks Jay for the lift across town to the TC JD meeting tonight!! Surprised we beat everybody there since we were from the "other" side of town... It was probably your lead foot! 

BTW, Cool work on your custom crispy Vader. I like what you've done so far!!

Jeff, thanks for helping me score some more E1 Figures that I don't have. Sweet!! And also for going out of the way to bring Paul's figures as well!!

Had a great time hanging with you tonight as well.

I agree with the Imp Dignitaries. They released two of the five, I'd be all for the other three. But that's me. They looked pretty grim and evil.

I'd also put in some Padme figures. Not neccessarily a boring character, but I'd want a Naboo picnic dress one. There's not much action to that scene, unless you call rolling around in the grass with Ani action.

Weird... there are some decent selections in here but for the most part I think this is a bad decision, but that's based on the figures they selected.  Nothing wrong with it if the repacks made better sense. 

...

I think that they could do good with this idea, and I remember some people saying they won't do any sort of HOF assortment.  Wrong!  But it could have been good, unfortunately they missed the boat.

Aren't these all Collection One figures too?

 

I agree with your sentiments, Chewie, and with everone else's. This wave is the "jump the shark" wave of the year. They're re-releasing figures we all could buy last year without much of a probably, and most of the choices of their so-called "Greatest Hits" were peg-warmers. I wonder where Hasbro thinks that these were the greatest of the RotS wave. There were tons a lot better than these. The only ones I can think of that fit with the theme is Vader and the SA clone.

I believe that the #2 Anakin is going to be the Cantina Han of the prequels and may even surpass Mr. Solo's record!! How many reincarnations has it been now for Ani?? At least four within a year?? *shakes head in disappointment* I guess I will be saving some money when this wave hits.

Perhaps this wave should be call Greatest Misses instead.

Hasbro's relasing some of the RotS figs as "Greatest Hits", among them, peg warmer Clone Pilot, Anakin #2, Vader (don't we Vader in TSC already??), Destroyer Droid, Yoda, and others. At least they have the #41 for all you customizers. But there are other figs that I think would be better for their "Greatest Hits."

I guess I have to thank hasbro for re-releasing these 10 or 12 figures. That saves me quite a bit of dough.

See front page for me details.

I collect the cards, too. Most are put in binders now. The only thing is I did a lot of trading to get the ANH ones and I'm still missing some of the orange series and a lot of the stickers. I really havent' been active on the old stuff in a long time, though I did get the Sith sets the past year.

ps, if anybody's interested in trading in some cards, I'm game.

Jay, thanks for the wonderfully done custom piece. The Yoda vs 501st is cool sitting on its display taht you included!

Also was nice to see your SW room! Very nice. Can't wait to see your Gunship custom when your done. That already looks freakin' awesome!!!

Went to a local Target... looks like they had put out 2 boxes of the Hoth wave just before I got there.

I picked up:

Veers (x2)
Snowtrooper (x2)
At-At Driver
Reeikan
Vader

Left R2 and the gonk behind. Got Derlin at a different Target a few days earlier... was the only Hoth guy on the pegs amid the Carkoon wave.
