30AC Star Wars Comic Packs

That WM exclusive clone set is looking really nice, I find myself having to resist wanting to put a squad of each of these together.

[David]

Yeah, the clones are a very nice set. I also might get the babies for my photonovel.

[CHEWIE]

Picked up Wave 4 at Target today, WOOT!

[Darth Broem]

Oddly enough I want all 3 of the Wal-Mart packs.  Who is getting the Crimson Empire set.  I thought that was going to some retailer.  Maybe Target?

[Darth_Anton]

I thought everyone was getting Crimson Empire. In fact, I thought it was supposed to be in wave 4.

Saw Wave 4 yesterday...I laughed out loud at how rediculously bad the Swan/Kofi Annan pack was.  Bultar looked rediculous and the other dude looks like Jitsu from He-Man.  I did pick up Hobbie/Baron, mainly to Hobbie in with my ROTJ pilots (he's just off screen )  Baron is OK but I agree that his chest box is way too big.  Anakin/Sith Droid looked alright but I have really no desire for most Prequel EU, let alone OT EU

That's exactly why I'm looking forward to that pack.  I'm trying to track down every Rebel Pilot.

It's funny how all those oranges match a lot better than the gray-green Imperial uniforms which tend to change shade with every figure. Change over time I can understand, but even the Luke & female Imp comic pack has mismatched shades within the same set, which seems more than a little ridiculous.

Though I guess it's a lot easier matching to a simple primary orange than it is to something the color of my late grandparents' kitchen appliances. Hello avocado.

[Oboewan]

I just wish they'd stop using comic adaptations of the movies for these "EU" packs and stick with the actually expanded universe story lines.

Sorry about that.  I meant which retailer was getting Crimson Empire.  Or is every retailer getting it for the most part?

By everyone, I meant retailer, so... yes, every retailer is supposed to be getting it.

I agree the Koffi/Swan is pretty bad. If they would have given Bultar some sort of articulation in the legs it might have helped. Heck the comic they come with was a better value to me.

As for the Hobbie/Baron pack: Hobbie's alright, more of the same from Hasbro as far as X-wing pilots go and the Baron is a glorified POTF2 figure. The saving grace for him is that his TIE gear can be given to the TSC DSG for a SA TIE Pilot with removable TIE gear.

Unfortunately the pictures aren't coming through, but I'd love to see them. Sounds like a great idea.

[Nicklab]

Wow, that looks really good.  It could really make for a good TIE Pilot.  It works with the Clone, but I have to wonder if Hasbro did produce this kind of a kitbashed figure, would they stay with the Clone or maybe add in some kind of a generic pilot face sculpt.

[JediJman]

Nice combination Jay - that SA TIE pilot looks awesome.  Now I'm gonna have to get extras of these...
