From yesterday, but Hasbro updates with information the Clone to Storm/Sandtrooper Evolutions set.  When I saw the headline of "Evolution Continues..." I was really hoping it was beyond the 3 sets (plus variant) that we already knew about ;).

I got some clone Evo sets this morning.  All excited about it I opened them up when I got off work and was shocked at what I found.  Both sets had the EPII clone with a ****ed up arm.

Both arms are left arms on both figures.  So the elbow in the right hand is on the front instead of the back.  So basically they can hold a gun and point it backwards at the same time.

All I have to say is what the **** Hasbro???

I'm going to keep them until I find two others and then replace them, I am so pist off.


Is this s common error or was I the only one to get stock with the crap case.

And you're sure someone didn't get into those sets and do that, then return them?

That is possible but then that person would have 2 AOTC clones with 2 right arms each.

That is equally bad.

Lando,

I have 1 Anakin set so I'm looking for multiple Clone sets (obviously), at least 2 Sith sets, and 1 more Anakin set.  Yeah, got my work cut out for me.

Hasbro made great sets with these, and I even like the packaging enough that I'm not tossing it for certain.  It's great.  Then they don't seemingly get them to retail in any quantity at all.  Unbelievable.  I can't imagine they would not push these at least as hard as the VOTC were, but so far they seem just like a real bitch to track down.  I'm workin' on it though out here but retail's dead once again.  WM's are empty and only Target's seemingly stocking much right now.  Go figure.

I had to order my Clone sets from dnstoys.com, but they're not in yet.

Gatillo, man that sucks about your Clones.  I am very sorry to hear that.   :(

I take a small level of comfort in that these are pilot clones and it I put them in gunships then the arm thing does not matter.

I'll keep an eye out. I haven't seen any evolution sets for a couple weeks, Anakin or otherwise, but when they show up again (if you haven't found them yourself) I'll grab what I can.

I personally ordered the clone evolution case from EE. Who knows when the **** that's coming in though.

One of our local TRU's put out 20 clones and 20 Anakin Evolutions i.e. 10 cases. The Anakins are still there, but the Clones sold out by the afternoon.  Guess I'll have to watch em hit ebay now.  Hopefully some collectors got em!

I cannot post the link because this is from an endorsed section in our local collecting forum and you have to have access to get into that part, but the posts go to support what I've said:

there were probably 20 of anakin and 20 of the clones. I did not stash any. There is one on hold that I thought I needed but don't. It is held under Broc. if anyone wants it.

greedo out.

It was at the Murray TRu not Orem.

A big HUGE thanks to Ryan (Sith Lord Chaos) as he got me some Evo sets to get me at least caught up for my minimum wants for now. ;)

I'll get my duplicates as I find them but I totally appreciate the help keeping an eye out for me like that Lando, it's definitely appreciated!  I've had such bad luck on these.

The report you just made though Blackdog, about ALL those sets, that's promising.  Maybe these are just slow to get pushed out the door and have only been at a trickle?  VOTC was like that as I recall, then the deluge came.

No problem Jesse.  8)

I'm hoping the deluge is coming, because I haven't seen a trace of these since the initial Anakin set that I found. I'm really excited for the Clone set, but I have to say that I'm really looking forward to the Sith set. Sure Dooku is a little unnecessary, but the Maul and Emperor figures really look great. I'm planning on getting a second just so I can make a relaxed face Emperor to sit on the throne from the Final Duel cinema scene.

The toughest one to find around here has been the Sith set - I found ONE a few weeks back and am still looking for one for a friend.

I've come across the clone pack several times and so far haven't been able to restrain myself.
