Great for Hasbro, bad for completists and collectors who have been diagnosed with OCD.
I think this will cure me of my OCD.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Wanna waste 30 bucks?

Hey DD, I have to appologize for not being more tactfull with my statement. I certainly agree with your perspective on the matter though and in now way meant to bust your chops personally. My comment is more directed at those who think by getting stuff early, at any cost, is somehow a superior feat, but there is no way you could get that out of my general blanket statement.

What do you guys think about the sculpts. It looks to me, via the Maul, that some will have action poses. I actually would prefer more static neutral poses as they would be more movie accurate, even on characters who never showed up as Holos. But that's me.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: "Evolutions" assortment...
« on: October 31, 2005, 09:32 AM »Just saw the update on the main page of pics of the variant set. Good lord, that Sandtrooper is an amazing paint job. He practically looks like a different figure. He must be thirsty, too.
Right on. This set is going to break me as this qualify's for mass purchase to me. No more than ten, but that's still 200 bucks. The only saving grace is that I'm not Rob.

I picked up Batman Begins as well. I missed out on the Deluxe Editon last week and was finally able to track it down, with comic, at boarders on sale.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: TRU Exclusive Holographic Emperor
« on: October 31, 2005, 01:56 AM »I think this one ranks up there with the Lava Vader as worst exclusive ever.
How come?Unlike a lot of those others (Lava figures etc.) it's not just some crappy paintjob Hasbro cooked up to jack up the price. It's a representation of something that actually appears onscreen in the film.
True, he's already been done in EpI Holo Sidious and SWShop ESB Emperor, but neither one was what you'd call widely and readily available. Sure, this newest one has a promo attached, but something tells me he won't be half as hard to get ahold of as the first two.
I guess I just don't like the sculpt it's based off of. That's all.

Fun artical, but my "too good to be true" senses are tingling.

« on: October 29, 2005, 12:35 PM »We make fun of it now but those things will end being as collectible as the coins, freeze frames and commtech chips.
Yeah, but when you got a Luke Freeze frame figure, you got a Luke Freeze frame with it. This is just going to get more people into buying SW who could care less about the hobby, only re-sale to the morons who will have to have all 6 Leia Boushh holo varients.

« on: October 29, 2005, 12:26 PM »Sheesh. Someone will pay it for sure.
Some on did over on 'scum - a whole set. And they're happy they did it.
Unless money is of no concern, it's a real waste.

The figure is one of the ugliest figures ever made.
And yet, it sells out and will go for premium on the secondary market.

That was one of those strong rumors I've heard for years around town. It's a shame people feel compelled to keep things like that a secrete.

Picked up 2 Holo Emperors today. I think everything in the case was banged up, so I'll have to upgrade.
