I did not realize all DS gunners were turning into "Sith" with Red Eyes...will not bother me though, since they will never have their helmets off to reveal the "Clone trooper" head.

That's how I'm going to look at it too.  If they wanted to do various heads, I'd be cool with it - but if they want to put Jango's head on everything, they'll never see daylight at my collection.

He also has two chins, for twice the ass-kicking power. I got to write a databank entry in the prequal Trilogy forum on him.

Isn't that second chin just the helmet strap?

Not really...

It wasn't a politcs thread, it was a current events thread.

Last time I checked, King George calls it that Global War on Terror (or is it the global war on radical extremists...?)

You can't get much more related to the war than that.

...and for the record, I didn't report that one.

Rebelscum requires it.  500 posts and that's it.  The issue started when they converted their old software to the new software - the old War and Politics (somethingl ike 10,000 posts at the time) wouldn't open.  They blamed it on the new software and started us a new thread from scratch.

And that's been the rule ever since.

The software CAN handle bigger threads - ours in the local DFW section went well over 500 without incident, but for some reason they still insist on making part 3, part 4, part 9 of certain threads.

Baffling.

I just can't believe our software doesn't require us to make a 'part 2' thread when we get to 500 posts on a topic.

I'm only speculating.  It also seems to me that every time they put a new pack-in into the line, that's when the price of a figure jumps a dollar or more.  Commtech Chips, These Holograms, Flashback cards... etc...   Which makes me wonder if the price increases are to offset the costs of making the pack-ins, or if the pack-ins are used as an inexpensive way to legitimize raising the price.

I'm guessing the second.

I for one wish they'd stick to one type longer - at very least keep them black.

My walls looks more like a rainbow than a toy collection with the Orange, purple, green, yellow, red, darker green, blue, gold, white, and now black cards...
