Wow, long time no see!
I had to catch up on about 14 pages since my self-imposed exile. My family and I had a big Kubrick bash last night, and thanks to Jeff I was able to crack into the mastercases completely blind on the chases! I pulled all the foil bags out of the boxes before we got started, so the kids and wife didn't even know who the regular ones were.
My senate guards were in box # 2 (referencing Simon's opened MC pic). But we didn't find them until we opened up the other 2 regular boxes first. Oh well, time to start a Royal Guard academy!
I ended up with Yakfaces in both my MC's. He was my # 1 "want" in kubrick-land, so that was way cool. My 9 year old daughter found it (on about the 60th bag we opened).
I find myself agreeing with a bunch of what I read. I hope we are not headed to the prequel land soon, but it certainly seems inevitable that we will get there.
The snowtrooper being in a box set stinks. I want at least 4, and that is not likely to happen. Hopefully he will make a re-appearance in a regular assortment at 4:12 along with Luke and leia hoth, bespin leia (chase), mucky R2, lobot, and 2-1B.
And not getting 2 gamorrean guards because I got yaks? While I stare at 8 jell-o versions of a guy that is 95% obi wan ghost re-released? Well, it tempered my excitement a bit. Like Brent said, I don't want to see Medicom going down the Hasbro road.
Anyway- great pics guys. Now I need to find someone willing to trade a pasty anakin and gam guard for a yakface and blue anakin
