30AC Wave 2 - The Battle of Yavin

[P-Siddy]

but damn I couldn't resist all the Honor Guards and DS troops.

Didn't anyone ever tell you "Resistance is Futile?" 

Congrats on the nice score!

Maybe take those two sets that are missing Padme to customer service, tell they they are missing that figure, and see if they'll sell them even cheaper?

Either way, if you spend $7.00 on a basic figure, then $5.00 for that Battle Pack is a good deal... just for one of those droids if you ask me.  There's a severe lack of Separatist droids at retail anyways and this is a great addition to the line.

Ever notice how the rebel honor guard head looks alot like General Tagg from the DS Briefing set?

When I read that I gabbed both tom make sure they weren't the same head sculpt. They're not. But if they were, I wouldn't have been surpised.

Just wanted to pass along this easy "fix" for anyone annoyed with the wide leg stances for the Rebel Honor guard and DS Trooper:

Boil and freeze. Did this to both and both look much better, especially the Honor guard.

I got the McFett the other day and must say he's pretty cool! I'm surprised at how much articulation the gave him. I figured it'd be about the same as McStormie... Too bad Hasbro didn't do a little resculpting on him instead of just repacking him.

I wish I could just walk into any given store and find the figures I'm looking for...

I'm quite excited about the McFett and DST.

And honestly, the Han Solo is pretty cool...

I found some of this wave at TRU this morning.  I gotta say something about that Luke.  He's pale as a ghost and it looks like they put a poorly painted brown bowl on his head.  At least the couple of examples that I saw. 

The rest of what I saw looked pretty good.

I'll agree with the Luke statement... poorly painted hair...

What's with the DS Trooper. His helmet is so big!  He looks like Dark Helmet.

I see your helmet is as big as mine. Lets see how well you handle it.

[Phrubruh]

By the way, when are we going to get Spaceballs figures? I want ones just like Dark Helmet was playing with.

[Darth Broem]

I thought there was supposed to be a Spaceballs 2 in the works?  But have not heard anything more about it.  Or maybe I was dreaming that?  Anyway, if they were to make a sequel or whatever Brooks had planned for that it would be our best time to get Spaceballs figures.  Yes, a Dark Helmet figure would be great.

Well now I have to start looking for wave 2 eh?  Geez, I still don't have a ParaTrooper yet, sigh.

[Artoo]

A cartoon show is planned for G4 TV sometime this year or next year.

An odd bit of info for anyone who cares, but in looking at some of the sculpting details on the DS Trooper, I discoverd that the "Skirt" is a modified version of Moff Jerjerrods.

The local TRU put out two cases of these yesterday; picked up one of each, plus an extra Fett for a friend of mine.  I have to say that I'm actually pretty happy with the wave as a whole, but I'm disappointed in the quality of the plastic used on the Boba Fett.  It seems as if the entire figure uses the cheap "rubber" plastic and, maybe because of this, the upper and lower torso pieces are way too flexible.  In fact, the upper torso on mine comes off far too easily, causing the little hidden belly blaster door to fall right out.  I tried putting a bit of super glue in the upper slot and reassembled it, but it's still wobbly due to the belt being a separate piece.

Is anyone else having trouble with their Fetts in this manner, or did I just get a ****** one?
