Other Collectibles / Re: Unleashed figures
« on: February 23, 2007, 12:11 PM »
I found and picked up the Shadow Trooper and both Anakin and Obi-Wan last night.

The store had 5 cases and at first the Toy lady wasn't gonn let me have them, but when she saw how big they were and how little space she had, she let me have all I wanted.

There are 2 troopers and 1 each Anakin and Obi-wan per case. The boxes have dividers so the figures don't rub each other and are reinforced at the corners. There's also a cardboard piece above and below the figs, probably to protect them from damage. Each tube has a layer of plastic wrap surrounding it, to protect it from scratches, that's not immediately noticeble, and easy to pull off. They definitely had collectors in mind when the thought of these.

I was never really into Unleashed during the Cardback years, but I really like the way they're presented in the tubes. As a result these are my first Anakin and Obi-Wans. The shadow Trooper is pretty awesome, my only complaint is they chose not to pose the blaster trails in any way but just secured them to the bottom, which makes the scene a little odd.

Any way, good stuff, go get 'em! :D

While up in NorCal Jon picked me up a Pearl Harbor edition P-40 Tomahawk (21st C), and trucked back down to the AV. This model has been on my list for 3 years, so I really appreciate the favor.

123
A buddy of mine picked up 4 sets, two each from different stores. The first 2 he opened up had only dark-haired RFTs, the second 2 had only brown haired ones. I picked up 2 sets last night from a totally different store. One BP has 1 of each trooper the other has both dark hair.

If getting both troopers is important to you, inspect the package at the store.

124
Thanks, that looks cool. Now I'm even more looking forward to getting this.

125
Okay, okay, I'll stop trying to be funny.

126
Got the Dejarik Chess set ordered. Anybody know where I can get the rules to play?

127
I'm sure they'll have some available for non-attendees, just like Sith Apprentice. I was able to snag one of those.

128
At least one should be a 12" figure or accessory. If so it'll probably be a modification of something they've released or shipped already (ala Sith Apprentice). Maybe General Solo or Endor Luke. EII Anakin and Obi-Wan are just as likely, or Maybe a Black rebel commando. Hey they could even offer us the Dejarik Table with translucent figures.

I'd be really impressed (and happy) if the have a whole new character to offer.

I HAVE JABBA!

Jabba and his environment showed up late in the afternoon.

I have to say I seriously underestimated the size of his dias, and how heavy it is.

Jabba is feather-light but has a real detailed sculpt. The paint applications are so good, I have to say Hasbro would never have been able to pull it off.

I finally got my shipping notice. I'm not surprised it took so long, as I waited 'til the last minute to order.

Does Vintage still count? I picked up 4 Hans and a Greedo for a buck apiece at Palmdale SWM.

The Super Wal-Mart is finally clearancing their Vintage figures for a buck. They only had Greedos and Hans, and after I left they only had Greedos.

134
Just got 2 emails from SS. One for the TRE and one for Jabba. Says warehouse arrival in 3 to 5 days.

What are the chances they'll do a 1:6 scale Rancor?

1:6 Scale Figures and Collectibles / Re: Sideshow 12" Darth Maul
« on: January 29, 2007, 11:13 AM »
I got my probe droids Friday, and I think thier great but I wonder if they were worth the price. They're very detailed but also small, and all three are exactly the same, which makes me believe I'd be happy with one, if it came with the Darth Maul. I guess SS chose to sell it seperately because Maul was already up to it's ears in accessories.
