I noticed a variation on the Hoth battle pack. General Veers, in the first pack I bought, has an extra black stripe of paint on his left hip joint when compared to the first release with the At-At. Matt C and I were hanging out yesterday and found more Hoth packs, but these Veers' did not have the extra black paint. Has anyone else noticed? Anyone know anything about this?

I made an unusual find and purchase today, an AT-RT at Target.

Count me in on resculpts too...  Figures like Boussh Leia are the kinda things that make me giddy because I think their previous versions are so terrible.  My resculpt list, just off the top of my head, would be like this:

-Nein Numb (reuse Ten's head and make a new hat)
-SA Endor Han Solo (I'd like a removable softgoods coat, but a coat ala Agen Kolar's robe...  Now that'd make EVERYONE happy on that figure I think)
-SA Bespin Luke...  Can't stand the Saga figure at all.  Too pre-posed, not to mention the feature.
-SA Hoth Han Solo...  Terrible figure overall IMO.  Give him a removable hat, a removable hood (or softgoods) and I'm game for that figure.
-Hoth Leia
-SA Hoth Luke (I'd like to see the Saga sculpt sligthly improved upon to include a working holster, maybe damaged and undamaged heads)
-Hoth Rebel Footsoldier (I want this more than the tan-vest Vintage figure personally)
-SA Qui-Gon
-SA Obi-Wan E1
-SA Scout Trooper (New bike, to-scale, would be nice.  Something that's nicely done like Stass Allie's BARC is)
-SA Death Star Trooper (re-use the head/helmet of the POTF2 one even)
-X-Wing Luke (still haven't done this figure justice)
-Snowspeeder Luke
-"Imperial Officer"...  True grey-tuniced Officer.  I'd like Veers w/removable armor, helmet, and hat to be the base for this figure really.
-Red Leader (pack-in blows)
-Klaatu, Nikto, and Barada...  Given the Cantina wave last year, I know these 3 can be done ala their vintage figures and look 100x better than the 3-pack figures looked.
-C-3PO (multiple points of articulation utilizing the articulation socket style that the ROTS figure has...  It can be done)
-ANH Ben (VOTC sorta bites).
-ESB Boba Fett (utilizing VOTC Fett as a basis but with some new "tweaks").
-Bespin Guard (dunno where they got the open jacket from).
-SA Bespin Han (why not?  I like the POTJ figure, and I'd say to even re-use the torso, upper-arms, and headsculpt, but some new lower arms, more articulation, and new articulated legs would be welcome).
-SA Endor Rebel Soldier (same as Hoth Trooper, I'd like a new figure).
-SA Rebel Fleet Trooper (Same as Hoth and Endor).
-Imperial "Technician"...  That POTF2 sculpt is beat.
-AT-ST Driver (see above).
-ANH Luke (VOTC bites).
-Wicket (how about one that's properly sized).
-R2 w/pop-up saber (just a compartment for a hilt, no gimmick).
-R5-D4 (duh).
-Han Stormtrooper
-Luke Stormtrooper
-Chewie w/Chains (VOTC Chewie, just with a removable dog collar...  I'd be content with that).
-SA Snowtrooper

And that's just off the top of my head, and just classic stuff save for E1 Obi and QGJ.  There's a lot of sub-par figures out there that don't "fit" quite as well next to some of the stellar home-runs we got like VOTC Han or the VOTC Stormtrooper.

That's an awsome list! I've been wanting to do this, but haven't had the time.

At least I got both my cases ordered(one received so far) through two different store managers. Stores may vary however

I'm sure I've missed something in the conversation here, but are you saying that by using the AIM number, you were able to have them order and hold cases specifically for you?

I'm pretty excited, I'm getting ready to take my 5 year old daughter to see John Williams tonight at the Hollywood bowl. She knows all the music, so I can't wait to see her reactions. She gets quite enthusiastic.

I'm carring the numbers with me. They don't work on the scanners, I think Star Wars is locked out, at least around here. I've been asking employees to look up numbers and the only thing showing up, beside collection one stuff, is the TIEs.

The in responce to Black Dog65, Target shouldn't have diffent DCPI's for the final 12, so I would treat the RS report as highly suspect. However, Target raising the price on all figures could happen anyway.

I wish I was board, maybe I'd cut back then. I think there's too much to keep an eye for to be board and the figures just keep getting better.
