Does anyone have a spare Luke? 

Gramps sent my stuff up, but his eyes are failing and I didn't have a Luke in there.  Have a spare Yoda, Han and regular Leia.

Maul variant is official now, so two variants in the Sith set.

Picked up six of them from Suncoast today.  Got them all except Dooku.   I got two Vaders unfortunately they're both the regular one.  I did get the Maul variant, woohoo.

I grabbed a few today, got two Stormies, a Dooku and Sidious.

The Sidious I'll customize some and use that hood on the SAGA Emperor, and possibly the Stormtrooper helmets on some CT Stormtroopers, though the helmets are a little big perhaps.

So how does one go about getting Emperor and Dooku besides buying more of those damn boxes that you can barely see in to ???

I think its hard to see into the series 2 boxes than series 1.  It's that damn plastic.  The way I got Emperor was I could see his hands in the box, the duplicate Vader was a guess hoping it was Dooku.

I got Maul and Vader thinking they were Dooku and Emperor :p

These suckers are nice quality though and the chase aspect is fun as well.  Their ratios are wonky methinks however.  And based on what Series 1 sets are going for, perhaps the best thing is just to buy a complete opened set instead of risking duplicates

I've got an extra 3PO that I'll toss into your package Hemish!  Which is gonna go out... next week, hopefully...   :-[

I haven't bitten the bullet on Series 2 yet, but I'll probably just roll with the complete set off eBay idea, since I've seen the first series (with Chase) go for a little cheaper there.  Of course, being the cooler bad guys this time around will probably make them a little more expensive.

And I'm still waiting to hear from SWS.com on that Stormtrooper (x9) order that I placed a few months back, so I could get all 8 different configurations of it.  Haven't heard a peep about it, and seeing as how this Series it out now, they need to get their butts on the ball and start shipping those things out!

The weapons are molded in-hand to these figures, correct?

Just sorta curious since I'd like that long rifle the Stormtrooper has but don't want to get into these...  It's a customizing thing.

One guy used a Stormie already on a VOTC Stormie body, and the combined two look nice.  Especially the way the hand rests on the belt.  Very realistic.

The site has said shipping December 30th for quite a long time, so presumably we'll all get shipping notices today or relatively soon. 

Entertainment Earth is even more frustrating.  These are out at retail and EE is still listing them as January 2005.  Quite annoying really.  Not that I'm concerned about getting them, since I ordered a case, I shouldn't be missing anything, but I'd like to have them ::)  Particularly so I know whether I have the chase pieces or not.

I'll check in with Hemish, and if he wants to buy those first two off you Steve, I could just pick them up from you sometime next week and toss them in the package I'm already sending him Down Under...  Sound like a plan guys?
