Grabbed some of these from my local TRU yesterday... I'm hooked. 











Going back for more this weekend.  This is what I'm buying for the rest of the year.

Not for me, but I don't collect that way.  If someone else does, I think that's for them to decide.

Piss.

I mean, pass. 

Or maybe, I do mean piss.

I never could get into the Clone Wars because to me, it looks like an animated video game sequence.  There's some cool designs and all, but ever since this came into play, collecting hasn't been as fun for me.  I am not dreading the end of the series one bit. 

That being said, most of what I've seen from the 2013 offerings seems like more of the same - heavy on repacks and slight retooling, with a few cool figures here and there.  Cutting corners when they can with the collector line (like not investing in new tooling for Phase 2 clone helmets), and definitely with the kids line in many aspects.

I have bought a little bit less each year anyway, but with life changes (2 kids now), I need to scale back regardless.  Hasbro putting less of an investment to reach collectors like me just makes it easier to spend less on their product.  They really aren't working harder like they used to for our dollars, which doesn't bother me as much as it would have 5-6 years ago.

2 figs and a mini-rig?  $25-$30 ? 

The price is supposed to be $19.99.

Crud, I haven't found squat for Thor around here.  If anyone finds a spare Sif, can you grab her for me?

If I see another, she's yours.  Do you care about card condition?

Found King Loki yesterday at TJ Maxx, and Sif today at Marshalls.  Both on beat up cards, but they'll be opened anyway when my son gets them.

A Cindel w/ Teek and Noah exclusive set would be awesome... with a companion set of the bad aliens w/ witch.  Hasbro would have a very cool set on their hands if they did that.
