30th Anniversary Collection / Re: EE Mandalorian 14 Pack

I wouldn't mind seeing Jango in this set if he was sculpted without his armor (ala Clone #55) just to see something different. Maybe give him a staff to train close combat.

Sideshow had a Q&A where the possibility of Hoth figures were discussed. I know I'd like to see Leia done (I know, I know, another Leia?).

Anyway accessories could include stormtrooper rifle ungloved hands, Bespin boots, oxygen mask and another head with loose braids.

Exclusive version can come with torch and goggles.

Got my 3 to 5 day notice yesterday, could have this by next Thursday :)

94
I just recieved my "processing soon" email for this, to be in the warehouse within the next 25 days, this just a day after I get my "Pre-auth" note for Leia Bousch, to be in the warehouse within 3 to 5 days.

With these on top of the comicon exclusives, things are snowballing.

95
Now where is our Hyperspace ring for the 3 3/4 line!!! heh.

-Sal

Patience! It will be coming soon. Trick is you have to buy another Obi-Wans JSF to get it.

96
I got Holo-Sid ordered. Niether my C-IV or Commando Bundle giftcards worked. When I saw this in person I wasn't blown away by it, but I thought it would make a great accessory to my Darth Maul. I think I'll display him kneeling before it with his ligtsaber ignited in front of him.

Don't trash them! If you're like me you need to rotate older collectibles out to make room for newer ones, and you'll need these boxes to store them in. If you move you'll be kicking yourself, for tossing them, and if, God forbid, you ever have to sell them, the packaging will add to their value.

1:6 Scale Figures and Collectibles / Re: Sideshow 12" Plo Koon

Its like the hood was designed with Ki-Adi in mind!   

Oboewan

One can only hope we'll be seeing Ki in this line. I never got the Hasbro one.

There is no difference between the Sideshow Exclusive figures and the regular editions. The Exclusives usually come with a unique accessory, in the case of Ep IV Obi-Wan, a small holographic Leia statue. The packaging also comes with a gold sticker distinguishing it.

In my opinion, for the most part the exclusive accessories add little to the overall enjoyment of the figures (Bibs special staff? Jabbas glass? Crumbs dragonfly?). Of course there are exceptions, I like to display my Darth Maul with his broken saber halves, and the upcoming Asajj Ventress with the extra head will be like owning two unique figures.

I look forward to the little Holo-Leia, it should pair up nicely with the 1/6 R2 I have.

I got home pretty late last night, but there it was! Plo koon looks amazing in the package, I can't wait to open it. The double blade wrist saber is sweet, I think I'm gonna pose him weilding both weapons.

Okay, it was my turn to have a hard time. I tried for 40 min. to get connected, but to no avail. each time I tried ended up in a failure to connect message. I tried on the phone too but I kept on getting disconnect. All the while my buddy was E-mailing me "Did you get it? Did you get it?". Finally I said "You try." He responded in like 50 seconds that he got it! I sent him my account info, and he got in again and was able to use my rewards as well. I'm trying for 40 and don't even connect and he orders 2 in 3 minutes!

I got my order confirmation e-mail soon after.

Got my shipping notice for the Koon, now the wait.

I understand that this whole situation is ridiculous and frustating, but I reccomend that all those who ordered the figure, and if it's important for them to have the figure, to resume your order with the adjusted price. I say this because if you cancel your order there is no guarantee that they will be available if you finally decide to order them later.

Believe me I'm on your side (having gone to C-IV), HTS made a deal and they should stick with it. Obviously somebody over there screwed up and failed to disqualify the C-IV exclusive from their promo, and that person is in the doghouse. But, really, the company should honor their deal, just as SWS.com, dropped the price on the Lucas Family set after it many preorders were taken.

Hopefully HTS will come to their senses and honor your original deal, and credit your account accordingly,but if you really want the figure I wouldn't hold my breath. Lets face it HTS is not the most organized e-tailer. My account still lists an order as "unshipped" that I recieved months ago. My Kir Kanos comic packs came bent. My buddy ordered 10 DSTs, then was informed he could only order 2 at a time. He ended up completing 5 orders of 2, then the next day they cancelled ALL his orders. He called them and they said he couldn't order so many of the same figure, but they couldn't explain why all the orders were cancelled. Of course now they were out of stock.

Ideally the McLukes will be in stock long enough for the next big HTS promo, but there's no guarantee that they will (then again 501st SS anybody?). I know I've waited too long to order exclusives and had to pay heavily down the road to get what I wanted(at C-IV BTW).

Hey Hasbro! / Re: Lars Family Battle Pack
« on: May 18, 2007, 06:13 PM »
I think the idea plays better as a holiday gift pack ::); We can have Clieg, Shmi, Owen, and Beru each giving C-3PO a piece of covering.

Clieg - POTD Uncle Owen; new head, new paint, resculpted legs(removable), soft goods robe.

Shmi - POTJ (repaint?)

Owen - moisture farmer Luke; new head, new paint

Beru - screen scenes Adi Galia; new head, new paint, longer skirt.

C-3PO - Ep I; resculpted articulated knees

accessories - storage box (Anakin; outland peasant), coverings (Saga C-3PO), Lars garage floor base (new sculpt)

Jon picked up a case of VTAC last night and was kind enough to split it with me. Very considerate, thanks.
