I hope that Leia comes with a Boushh helmet as well, and Han with a Carbonite slab. 

Thanks to Toy Fair we now know the answer...

That Carbonite Slab is great and I am glad both Leia and Vader come with Helmets.   :)

Look for our pics here sometime this week, but we are getting the Star Wars stuff up first.

Man, I hate the idea of starting a new line, but I also hate the idea of not buying this Storm Shadow.   :-\

Oh yeah, I'm all over this.

Since we don't seem to be getting a V-Wing Pilot figure to go with it, I think I'll use my Cloud Car Pilot to fly this ship since he still doesn't have a ship to fly.   :'(

Wow, that is just nuts.  It was only a matter of time for them to try it though.

If I had the cash and the space for it, I'd be tempted.  Luckily for me I have neither.   :P

After seeing the new Toy Fair pics, I am less excited about Jedi Luke, but more excited over CZ-4 and Umpass-Stay.   :)

Yeah, it's small and under scaled, but I still plan to buy it.  Of course, I plan to display it with this Darth Maul:



Yeah, it's still out of scale even for the GH line, but at least it's closer than the 3.75" figures.   :P

Wow, I didn't think it was possible with the new card style, but we are getting some HUGE awesome pack-ins with some of these figures...

- Upass-Stay's Drum
- Luke's Vaporator
- Elis and M'iiyoom's Curved Cantina Section

New sculpts, great pack-ins, 2007 is looking better and better each time we see new stuff!   :)

Man, I hope we get both heads - I love the hood down look, but I'd also grab an opener to display with the "hooded" head too.   ;D

My first thought when I heard about these was also "ugh, more KOTOR crap" - you know, EU junk from video games.

Based on these pics though, I will definitely be grabbing openers for the Lady Imperial (is she Juno or Maris?), Samurai Jedi Dude, and the Battle Damaged Vader.  Very impressive damage, he must take a beating in that game...  :D

The packages have a "Special Offer" sticker on them.  What's that all about? 

Earlier in the thread...

As per our Toy Fair coverage...

2007 is the year of the coin.  Instead of a lame figure you mail-away for coins, I'd assume to complete the booklet, but either way that's cool to me...  At least it's something that eases the $10 pricepoint a bit.

Due to Toy Fair complications, there will be no Q&A Answers today...

All questions that were supposed to be answered today will be held over to the next round and answered on Friday, March 2.

Looks like there will be no Q&A answers in February...  :-\

Did it say what the MSRP was?? 

G.I. JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO sets

(Approximate retail price of $25.00; Ages: 5 & up; Available: Summer 2007)

Sure to delight fans both new and old, 25th Anniversary Figures are all new sculpts and the most detailed and articulated G.I. JOE figures ever! Hasbro kick-offs the anniversary with the release two special-edition sets, each containing five classic G.I. JOE characters from the A REAL AMERICAN HERO line. Characters include G.I. JOE force’s fearless patriots DUKE, SNAKE EYES, GUNG HO, SCARLET and ROAD BLOCK, as well as their slithery adversaries COBRA COMMANDER, DESTRO, STORM SHADOW, BARONESS and a COBRA TROOPER. Each pack also comes with a sound box in the shape of the G.I. JOE logo that plays the beloved theme from the G.I. JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO animated series.


G.I. JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO single packs

(Approximate retail price of $6.00; Ages 5 & up; Available: Fall 2007)

Each of the fifteen 3-3/4-inch figures – in replica G.I. JOE packaging circa 1982 – will feature new sculpts, enhanced articulation, and a base stand featuring the character’s name.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: TRU exclusive Bantha & Rancor?

Quote from: Darth_Anton on February  9, 2007, 12:35 PM
What else can they do?


Just to be clear, I have no problem with the Bantha, I think it's a great toy/sculpt.  My problem lies solely with the $45 price tag.

The Bantha w/Tusken was $30 ten years ago and I'm not seeing why it should be 50% more expensive now... sure there is a bit of inflation, but nothing else has ever been re-released exactly the same with a 50% price jump, has it?

- They dragged the AT-AT back at pretty much the same price-point.
- They dragged the Shuttle Back at pretty much the same price point (compared to KB, not FAO),
- They keep dragging the Falcon back at pretty much the same price-point.
- They keep dragging the Republic Gunship back at pretty much the same price-point.

Other stuff that was brought back with a substantial $10-$15 price increase (like AT-ST and the X-Wing) were all spiffied up with new pack-ins (Paploo/Speederbike and Retooled Luke/Dragonsnake/Swampgrass respectively).


What else can they do?  Give me some extra little pack-ins to make it worth $45, that's what I'm saying.  Tusken Tent, Moisture Vaporator, something.

If it turns out to be $45 for just a Bantha repaint with a Tusken Raider repack, I'm not interested.  If it turns out to be $45 for a Bantha repaint with a Tusken Raider repack with some new pack-in things added, then maybe I'll be interested...
