Yeah, I noticed the numbers were different. I understand them packing some double because they are popular. But you might be right, Jeff. Some kind of UGH promotion? Will be interesting to see. A question for Hasbro at ToyFair?
But I am definitely psyched about some of these!
EPIV GRAND MOFF TARKIN
EPVI NIKTO SKIFF GUARD
EP1 JAR JAR
EPV PRINCESS LEIA
LANDO CALRISSIAN (I wonder if these is the Skiff one or Empire?)
EPVI ORRIMAARKO
SW PRINCESS LEIA (Is this ANH?)
EPV LUKE
VC58 AAYLA SECURA
VC56 KITHABA
VC57 DR. CORNELIUS EVAZAN
SW VC72 NABOO PILOT W/DUSTER
SW VC71 MAWHONIC
SW VC73 AURRA SING
SW VC28 REBEL PILOT WEDGE
SW VC74 GUNGAN WARRIOR

Sounds like "Death Race" or "Gamer" or some movie like that.

Hell, I think the Elan Sleazebaggano was worse. They made a drug dealer into a figure along with said drug to be sold as an accessory.

Yeah, I don't collect chases, but there were so many better choices... I wonder if all the recent disasters effected this wave in getting it out on time, hence the dud chases.
And, of course, I want the Dignitary, and they partner him up with a chase.

The Original Trilogy / Re: Long construction of the first Death Star
« on: January 27, 2012, 03:38 PM »One thing in engineering is the first one is the hardest to build, the others get simpler each time since all the bugs are worked out (Geonosians?).
Is this reference to the second Death Star? I thought I read somewhere that it had been under construction a long time before ANH as a back-up to the original, but the wookieepedia does say it was built after the destruction of the first one.
I would think, in my opinion and not going on material, that they worked on the second in tandem or shortly after completion of the first since I find it hard to believe that in 3 years they had one mostly completed (not sure the percentage). If the first one took approximately 18 years to build, I find it hard to believe the Empire could build the second just as fast... maybe 15 years, but not 5, like you might guess with how the incomplete second one looked in Jedi.
I think the second was built in a completely separate location, secret even to the personnel of the first, so if one was compromised by spies, then the Empire would still have others ready to go.

One thing in engineering is the first one is the hardest to build, the others get simpler each time since all the bugs are worked out (Geonosians? ).
As for keeping it hidden, I'd say it's something Justin mentioned. I also think that it would be something like Kamino, which was 'deleted' from records so no one had any idea it existed. Or it was built in some part of the Outer Worlds that haven't been thoroughly scoured so that some cartographer would know of it... or it's all one big government conspiracy: The Truth is Out There! Deny Everything!
