What a wonderful suprise it was on Wednesday morning to walk into the Gator Hole Plaza Wal-Mart in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and find the Yavin wave. Now, you are absolutley not going to belive this...what I saw sitting on the pegs was almost providencial...the entire wave in litteral droves! There were about ten pegs full, so I assume that they fresh of the truck.
Anyway, here are my impressions of the this wave, figure by figure....
General Jan Doddona: I don't particuarly care for his pose, or his treanch coat for that matter, so that's why when I first found him (a whole two weeks ago, sitting alone on the pegs) I pulled his arms out (easily, almost as easy as some of 21st Paratroopers) but was disapointed to find that they did not reconnect as easily as some people would have you belive. Anyhoo, other than that he's a decent figure, tommorow I'll finish the customizing job.
Captain Antilles: I LOVE this figure! Great command building fodder, he also has some nice articulation (though limited). I have some ideas for his helmet though...maybe a Seperatist militiamen or something. I bought three of this particular figure.
TIE Fighter pilot: A nice figure...he's mainly going to fill the ranks of my Imperial Pilots. One thing about him that I'm not sure about is his height. Kinda short IMO...
I purchased two
Dutch Vander: Despite popular opinion, I don't think he is the ''be all end all'' figure, however, he'll look good next to the other rebels, and should fit nicely with my Y-Wing. Baised on that I bought one.
So there you have it's a nice wave with good armybuilders, and luckly I got my fill. Strange thing is that I found this wave twice in this quantity, and within twentey miles of each other. However, Myrtle Beach has been notoriously good to me, be it from finding Motti in 2000 to finding all the early 2003's in March. Luck I guess...
