Saga '02-'04 / Re: WHAT KIND OF WAVE WOULD YOU LIKE HASBRO TO DO!!!!
« on: November 6, 2003, 10:23 AM »
Hmmm...

I'd REALLY like to see a ME Cantina Wave:

Chewbacca (nice new neutral pose)
Hem Dazon (Arcona)
Bom Vimadin
Fetipern Trevagg (Gotal)

w/Ultra = Denizens of Cantina 2-pack
Jawa w/Blaster, Little Rat-guy (forgot his name), and Curved Bar Section


And then, I'd like to see a Bespin wave with:

CD-ROM Vader w/Blaster Bolt Deflection
Ice Cream Maker Guy (Then I could say I knew the guy who got him made)
Lobot (neutral pose)

w/Ultra Han Solo and Bespin Toture Rack

(this is in addition to the Leia, Guard, Cloud Car Pilot wave that is rumored for 2004)

From yakface.com:

"I don't remember reading about this one, but I was actually
looking for the second series of clone wars figures from the
cartoon this morning and ran accross a couple of cases of
the series 1 that had all the Arc Troopers repainted in red."

Hi All,

Hasbro just posted pics of the 2nd 2004 wave, Luke, Drink R2, and R1 Astromech:

http://www.hasbro.com/starwars/pl/page.headlines/id.952/dn/default.cfm

AND they announce the full line up for 2004 Wave 3!!!

"And check back next month to see the next Wave of 2004 3 ¾"; figures from Jabba's Palace including Lando Calrissian in Skiff Guard Disguise, Shawda Ubb, J'Quille, Elom, and Holographic Luke Skywalker, as well as the next release of Ultra figures including Jabba the Hutt and a three pack of B'Ommar Monk, Bubo & Wol Cabbashite."

All those new Jabba Aliens! I think I'm gonna pass out...

Also some news about the new Animated Clone Wars figures being Target Exclusives...

Go check it out!

So...do the 'inards' fit inside of it?  I have one on order at Amazon (I hope they don't cancel this on me too!!! :P).

The innards DO fit inside, although the palstic on the TaunTaun is pretty rigid so it is a little tricky to get them in there.  They look much better partially splayed out of the belly.

Also, for those wondering, they did away with the "push-button" on the saddle that would make the Taun-Taun "run" on the older PotF2 versions.
(althought when you look inside the TaunTaun belly, you can see they left the gears on the legs so you can see how the other version works).

So, IMHO, it is MUCH easlier to get this Taun Taun to stand in many different positions without the funky running mechanism.  Also makes the saddle look a bit smoother/cleaner.

Just some random TaunTaun bits for ya!

Jeff

ps.
The weirdness of Leia's face coloring bugged me at first, but now a few days later... not so much.

So whats the price tag so I can compare it up here when they come out?

Same as the other two (Bounty and Imperial)... $19.99 in the USA.

picked me up one of these today!  It is awesome!!!  

I too just found this today at TRU (Roseville MN).  Excellent set for the money.  The Taun-Taun is GREAT!

Leia is the worst of the bunch, but I love Taun-Tauns and droids.

The new Hoth Han looks cool riding this new TaunTaun too!

Jeff

PS.
The TRU SKU from the receipt is 076930267035 for those that are curious about those kinds of things...

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Defender Wish Lists: Mos Eisley Cantina
« on: August 4, 2003, 10:54 AM »
Here's my list:

1. Arcona - Hem Dazon!
2. Gotal - Felktipern Trevagg
3. Lizard Man - Hrcheck Kal Fas
4. Smoking Dude - Dannik Jerriko
5. Horn Head - Bom Vimdin
6. Worm Lady - Dice Ibegon
7. One-Eye - Myo
8. Bug Lady - Wioslea
9. Rat-Man - Reegesk
10.  Bloody Stump Arm Ponda Baba (those little magnets cry out for this!)

Runner Ups include:
11. Baniss Keeg (I customized him with an Ellors Madak)
12. Melas (I customized him with a Ketwol).

I have customs of these two already, but I'd buy Hasbro's versions if they made them...

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Anyone preorder the wave 13 case from NFC?
« on: July 28, 2003, 01:58 PM »
Hi All,

I just heard that Hasbro cancelled wave 13 so NewForce isn't gonna get anymore of that exact case.

A replacement case with "most" of the same figures will be offered in Sept/Oct timeframe.

I'd be careful though, because with Hasbro "most" could mean only threee of the figures!

I guess this is one of those few times when pre-ordering blows up in your face!

Glad I picked up a Wat Tambor at Target when I saw him...

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Jedi Points? Your Prediction

The verdict

Sounds like it is an auction!

We are still finalizing what will be auctioned on the site, but we will have hard-to-find items like Jorg Sacul, Toy Fair Darth Vader and the R2-D2 Astromech Droid. The promotion is scheduled to run for a three-month trial period. We will then evaluate the program for the future; however, this may be the only opportunity to ever use your Jedi Master Points, so don’t save them up for something in the future! The total number of auctions will also be limited, so bid early. As more details about the promotion are finalized, we will post on the website, so check back here.

How are they going to keep track of the points?

What if jerks out there bid 1,000,000 points, "win" the auction, but don't have the points to send in?  Will they just get a mean note from Hasbro or will the Big H have to go through the list of bidders until someone actually sends the points in?

OR, will we have to send in our points first so they can be counted and then be eligible to vote in the auctions?

I'll be waiting to see how this potential fiasco turns out...

Hi,

Yesterday, I saw this news at NewForce that they received a limited amount of Waves 13 AND 15 on Tuesday Jul-01 (very limited):

"Star Wars wave 13 and 15 update
July 1, 2003 | 9:17 PM | newforce

Today we received a very, very small quantity of wave 13 and 15 cases...we will start shipping out preorders as they were submitted (FIFO, except where we tried to combine a seperate wave 13 and 15 preorder to save shipping...)...We hope to receive more product or allocations from Hasbro next week, and will update here (our email update list is temp out of commission)...all preorders that can be filled, have processed at this point..."

Then today, I received a UPS ship notification e-mail today!

The orders are being filled FIFO, so depending on when you pre-order, it may not be much longer wait!

Great, yay, woo-woo.  Oh yippee, go Target.  Figures.  No Targets in Canada :'(

I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Morgbug,

When are you just going to give up and join us down here in Minnesota?

It's so close to Canada and it's chocked full o' Targets!

You know you want to!

Clone Wars '03-'05 / Re: Clone Wars toys are OUT!!!

Also today I was at a Target store and I asked about the Star Wars toys. I was told that they are in the back for a promotional type event. I think we will be seeing some adverftisements in the very near future.

The Hunt is on my friends, the hunt is on.


Hi,

I live in MN and have friends at Target's main offices and Distribution Center.  

I can confirm that Target does have some promo events (weekly Ad) planned for Clone Wars this summer and that most Target stores already have Clone Wars product (basic figures and 3 vehicles: Gunship, Starfighter, AAT) in the back room...

Sorry I was told not to scan in the catalog and post the images. :(



But apparently EE has no problem releasing the source pictures!

If you head over to GalacticHunter.com, they have posted the high-res photos EE used to create the catalog (with EE's permission).

Head on over there to check them out:

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Luke and Darth: A New Hope...What are they?
« on: June 9, 2003, 11:36 AM »
Well,

Apparently, my theory on the collection 1 to 2 swap was bass-ackwards wrong!  :'(

The new EE catalog is shipping with pictures, and it appears the pictures they are using for Luke and Vader are the T-16 CommTech Luke (w/ New Lightsaber) and the MotDS Vader.

So, I thought what I thought and argued for it until I saw proof otherwise, and this would appear to be the proof I sought.

So, for now, I guess they are scheduled to be boring re-pack figures... CommTech Luke and MotDS Vader.

(See Boba Binks thread on the new EE catalog for more info):
