I will have a few extra figures from this wave from an online order.

Up for sale/trade are:
1x Battle-Damaged Darth Vader
1x Rahm Kota
2x Emperor’s Shadow Guard

In trade, I will take 1 for 1 either Kashyyyk troopers (the new one from this year) or the new SA 501st trooper (no Jango head, non removable helmet version).

If you wish to buy these they are $6.50 each plus exact shipping to you. I take Paypal in US funds only or a U.S. Post Office money order. (No cash or checks).

I expect to receive this order within two weeks.

If interested in either a trade or purchase please respond to either this thread or PM me.

Thanks for looking!

I can't recall if this has been covered before, but I'd personally like to see the TX-130 Saber class fighter tank made.

There are three known color schemes to this that would work to your favor Hasbro since there is an opportunity for reissues with different paint jobs. First there is the one with red markings (Republic era), then a more generic all grey one (transitional/Empire era), then the more advanced one with blue markings (Empire era and later video games).

This could fit at the least 3 clones. So that means more figure sales as well. There isn't many "working" parts other than the turret and the "wings" to the side. Even there, you, Hasbro,  could cheap out and mold them in the attack position (fixed so that the side "wings" wouldn't swivel).

It's certainly something in the $20 price range which fits your business model for vehciles/ships.

I've been taking some measurements based off the size as posted on starwars.com's databank. The toy in scale with an AOTC clone would be:

16.75 in long
6.25 in wide and
a little over 4 inches tall
(It's quite a flattish ship, though it does hover above the ground)

This is very doable I would think for starfighter scale.

Though when I drew out the dimensions it seems to me to be too skinny width wise.

So something a little more squarish width and length would work. I'm thinking 12in long by 8 in wide, and keeping the 4in height.

That's definitely in size with the starfighters and not much out of scale. Considering the slim height of this, it would be easy to put several on a store shelf and they won't take up much room on the shelf as well as a person's private collection.

Also, it would only fit 3 clones inside, however you could mold pegs on the outside of the tank to allow for 4 more clones to "ride," 2 on each side. Though please put the pegs in somewhat conspicuous areas so they don't detract from the look of the vehicle.

Again, with no less than three paint schemes, this could be a winner for you.

Also, it's been in several games and novels, so it truly has merit:
Star Wars: The Clone Wars game (First appearance)
Star Wars Republic: The Siege of Saleucami novel
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith novel
Star Wars: Battlefront game (Hey, if you can make a Rebel Vanguard figure, then why not this vehicle?)
Star Wars: Battlefront II game
Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron game

It's very much an action oriented vehicle.
And dare I say it, you could adapt it to the G.I.Joe line as well!

So what do you say Hasbro?

I need your Battle Droids!
Do you have unwanted Battle Droids? Do you prefer the sleek thin styling of the current version of Battle Droid and not the older Episode I style?Did you find the ROTS Battle Droid underwhelming and no longer want it? Then let me make a deal with you.
While I'm technically out of the army building biz for new figures, I still feel I'm lacking for Battle Droids to fight against my clones. So, if you've been on the fence about selling your old Battle Droids, here's an opportunity to finally get rid of them.
As a special thank you, since I plan on using these in a few of my large dioramas, your name/screen name would be included on a placard of contirbutors to the diorama (with your permission of course).
Your battle droids will have a good home with me!

Have any Episode I Battle droids?
I'm looking to buy any of the following versions of EpI Battle Droids:
Clean (EPI line)
Dirty (EPI line)
Shot (EPI line)
Sliced (EPI line)


I'm also looking to buy these other versions of Battle Droids:
Security Battle Droid (POTJ line)
Battle Droid Boomer Damage (POTJ line)
Battle Droid (ROTS)

Let me know by PM if you have any to sell and how much.

Thanks,
-Sal

I had a dream last night that the prequels were quite a bit different.

The Phantom Menace went along as normal until near the very end. Instead of Obi-wan killing Maul, before Obi got the chance Palpatine summoned Maul through the Force. Begrudgingly Maul did so, leaving Obi hanging in the pit. The rest of the movie plays out pretty much as it did with a few changes. The talk at Qui-gon’s funeral changes to which Sith did Obi face as opposed to kill. Obi is still granted Knight hood (instead of for killing a Sith it is for standing him down-even though Maul escapes). We see a shrouded figure on Kamino making a deal-presumably Sifo-Dyas-but looks like Palpatine in the robes we’ve become accustomed to seeing him in as the Emperor. In a scene VERY much like the end of AOTC, we see Maul meet with Sidious on Coruscant in the same building. (It’s the same scene, but instead of Dooku it’s Maul and instead of being the beginning of the clone wars the conversation becomes something on the order of Sidious saying their plans are in motion.

With Maul ALIVE, the “Phantom Menace” name makes much more sense. Between this time and AOTC, he wreaks havoc throughout the Republic killing Jedi at every turn.

Fast forward to AOTC. It starts the same, but instead of Zam Wessel trying to take out Padme, it is Jango directly. Same chase scene but it’s now Jango. The scene in the Outlander change however. Jango does not get his arm cut off, instead he fires off a couple of shots with his pistols and dashes out of the club. Obi and Ani give chase, but lose him immediately outside of the club. However now Obi looks up and sees Maul (where it would have been Jango instead). Maul’s horns a longer now, kind of like we saw him in the graphic novel (I forget the name of it off hand though). With the memory of his dead master flashing back in his mind, Obi takes off to get Maul while Ani is told to go back to the council to tell them of the bounty hunter. Obi chases Maul down and catches up to him. It is on Coruscant that they have the fierce climatic fight. Much more action and force usage as they are both 10 years older and wiser in the force. Eventually Obi gets the upper hand and slices Maul in half. Meanwhile Ani is explaining to the council what happened when they all feel a tremor in the force, that being Maul being killed by Obi-wan. Obi and Ani start their investigation of the bounty hunter much as they did in the real movie. Same Dex Diner scene, Padawan scenes, etc. Now we see a scene of Palpatine meeting with Dooku in his Chancellors office. As Dooku is about to leave, Mace some of the other council and some Senators arrive. Mace gives a very concerned stern look at Dooku as he leaves. From here the rest of the movie plays out as it did.

Unfortunately this is where my dream ended and I didn’t get to ROTS. Still, I think I like this version MUCH better than what was played out on screen. This dream was so real that when I woke up my heart was racing. I wish you all could have had the same dream. I think you would have liked seeing this alternate version.

Again, it’s just a dream, not something I deliberately thought up or wrote as a fanfic, so please don’t pick it apart. Not all angles were covered in the dream, as again, it was just a dream.

Jango
Voolvif Monn
Droideka

I need the following in trade (one for one figs) or will take $7 each plus exact shipping:
McRebel Trooper
Training Clone
Hawkbat clone
7th fleet clone

-Sal

I have many coins to trade. I count these as $1 per coin except the McQ coins which I count as $2. Considering figs cost $7, I'll trade coins as such.

Currently I'm looking for the following figures in trade for coins:
48: Darth Vader (Hologram)
49: Clone Trooper (7th Legion Trooper)
(X2) 50: Clone Trooper (Hawkbat Battalion)
(X6) 52: Naboo Soldier (Royal Naboo Army) 1 is now pending
(X4) 55: Clone Trooper (Training Fatigues)
(X1) 60: McQuarrie Signature Series - Concept Rebel Trooper
Darktrooper

Here are the coins I have available:
(X20)-02: Galactic Marine
(X2)-03: Mustafar Lava Miner 1 is now pending
(X13)-07: Airborne Trooper
(X2)-08: Super Battle Droid
(X14)-10: Rebel Honor Guard (Yavin)
(X7)-13: Death Star Trooper
(X2)-18: Luke Skywalker (Moisture Farmer) 1 is now pending
(X14)-20: Imperial Stormtrooper (Galactic Empire)
(X1)-28: McQuarrie Signature Series: Concept Darth Vader
(X5)-42: McQuarrie Signature Series: Concept Snowtrooper
(X1)-47: McQuarrie Signature Series: Concept Han Solo  Pending
(X1)-49: Clone Trooper (7th Legion Trooper) Pending
(X1)-52: Naboo Soldier (Royal Naboo Army)
(X1)-53: Rebel Vanguard Trooper (Star Wars: Battlefront)  Pending
(X4)-EPI
(X32)-EPII
(X10)-EPIII
(X2)-EPIV
(X1)-EPV

With exception to the Holo Vader, Darktrooper and McRebel, the other figures I need, I only need the figures and their accessories. So if you want the coins from those figs, then just knock off $1 in trade (meaning I "pay" $6 instead of $7 for the fig since you're getting the $1 worth from the coin.)

The Holo Vader, Darktrooper and McRebel, I need mint on card.

For those who might only want the Anakin from the comic pack, I found the Anakin/Assasin comic set tonight.

I bought four sets and don't want three of the Anakin's. If anyone needs them and wants to make a trade or buy them from me, let me know. Post here or PM me.

Thanks,
