30th Anniversary Collection / Re: TRU Exclusive Clones and Commanders Gift pack

Man, that sucks...  not even a theme really, just a mish-mash of jedi, sith, and clones thrown together.

Add my name to the "pass" list.

Have their exclusives ever been available online?? 

Some people had luck gettting the Disney exlusive Star Tours figures via an phone order number, but they have never been on-line by Disney before.

They say that these figures are Star Wars Weekends exclusive, so it will be interesting to see if they are only sold during the Weekends events or if they will filter out to the other Disney locations as well...

Found his post in the Series 8 thread...

According to the guys at the medicom booth there will be more series.  :) No dates set yet, I think they must have been busy with the box set and 400% releases.

Somebody from here or KW talked to a Medicom employee at one of the shows and he confirmed the SW line was still going.  Am I way off?  I thought for sure I read that recently.  Let me know if I'm wrong.  Thanks!

I believe it was Mondo.  He heard from Medicom at WonderFest I thnk...

30th Anniversary Collection / SDCC McQuarrie Obi-Wan and Yoda
« on: May 15, 2007, 09:13 AM »
OK, let's see where we are at...

Following the news of Yoda and Obi-Wan, that leaves us with just one of the 12 McQuarrie concept carded figures for 2007 to be revealed:

#1 - Stormtrooper (30AC Wave 1)
#2 - Boba Fett (30AC Wave 2)
#3 - Chewbacca (30AC Wave 3)
#4 - Darth Vader (30AC Wave 4)
#5 - Starkiller Hero (30AC Wave 5)
#6 - Snowtrooper (rumored for 30AC Wave 6)
#7 - "Han Solo" (rumored for 30AC Wave 7)
#8 - "Rebel Trooper" (rumored for 30AC Wave 8 )
#9 - C-3PO & R2-D2 (Celebration IV Store)
#10 - Luke Skywalker (HasbroToyShop @ C-IV)
#11 - Obi-Wan Kenobi & Yoda 2-Pack (rumored for a summer convention)
#12 - ?

I guess I'm not sure if Obi-Wan and Yoda are carded together (like 3PO and R2), but all we've heard so far indicate they will be.  I'm starting to wonder if there will be two SDCC figures this year like Celebration IV, one at SWShop and one at Hasbro Toy Shop.  Otherwise, I'm not quite sure where that 12th figure will land...
 
All bitching about exclusives aside for a moment, this is shaping up to be a very cool sub-line. :)

So, 4 hours later I pull up to the pump $3.25. I didn't give them the satisfaction.

That's what you get for taunting me with your $2.99 price earlier...   :P

Will it still be the white "Vintage" paintjob, as scene on the box?

What is shown on the box is not what we are getting.  According to Hasbro it will be the same as the last release, just in a new (crappy, mistake laden) box.

It still doesn't explain the "ejecting wing panels" callout on the box.

It's a mistake.   ::)

I am very disappointed with this one...  The 30AC package both shows and desribes a ship that you're not even getting inside the box.

Extremely lame.  >:(

The latest Hasbro QnA has been posted...

- 30AC Vader's TIE = huge disappointment  :(
- 30AC 4-LOM - all-new and pretty darn cool  :)
- No CIV Hints for You!   :(


Also, a scheduling note:  The formal Q&A sessions will be taking a small hiatus due to Celebration IV and the Memorial Day holiday.  Look for the Q&A sessions to resume on June 8th. 

Don't worry though, there should be quite a bit of Q&A goodness from the Hasbro C-IV panel to tide you over!  :D

Sooo...Luke Exclusive is the Luke from the Vader Battle.  I had always assumed Basic Luke would be that LUke...which means.  Basic Luke must actually be...GIRL LUKE!



Hopefully complete with boobs!

Looks like my pal Scotty deserves a gold star.   ;)

Hasbro Says:
First, the figure is indeed the female Jedi seen in the iconic "Fantastic Five" poster by Ralph McQuarrie. While this character became the inspiration for both Luke and Leia, originally, the character was called neither. We are going with the name "Starkiller Hero" for the package to describe the original inspiration behind the figure rather than the specific character(s) that were subsequently fleshed out. Early line plans (which are always subject to change and are worth the electrons they are printed with) showed Luke as the name but this changed as we got further into it.

Had to go fill up the gas can for the lawnmower this afternoon...  $3.259 per gallon. 

This weekend is the summer fishing opener in Minnesota.  The price has been bouncing around all week at the station nearest my house:

Mon - $3.09
Tues - $3.05
Wed - $3.09
Thur - $3.04
Fri - $3.25

Funny "coincidence" how the night before everyone hits the lakes on Saturday (and most likely needs to fill up both the car and the boat) gas spikes up $0.20 per gallon.  :-X

According to AAA, this weekend should set a new record average high for the Twin Cities...  and Memorial Day is still 2 weeks away. ::)

Niiiiice score!  Did you order from BBTS?

I did not order from them... as stated previously, the whole BBTS pre-order seemed fishy to me because none of the other usual Kubrick sellers (Robby or Spanky) were taking pre-orders for the set.  To be safe, I went to a different source.   ;)

Untrue.  The order I placed for myself/Beth went through at 12:28 CST so a full 13 minutes after that time frame.  The order has a confirmation number as well, so they seem to still be available.

Good to hear, I was worried folks were going to miss out since the e-mail hasn't even been sent yet...

It would appear that the C-IV Exclusives went up for Convention Pre-Order at noon...  though, of course, the site is EXTREMELY SLOW due to the HUGE traffic.   :P

I have also heard that most of the busts are gone already after only 15 minutes.   :o
