I agree with OCB: Grand Moff Tarkin.  Either Tarkin or Garindan.

I have the flip-flops.

Repeat:

I have the flip-flops.

Initial impressions soon to follow.

How long do you give it before your flip-flops smell like foot cheese?

I'd like to know the contents of Senator Yarua's knapsack....what exactly does he carry?

Why did I select my avatar?  To pay homage to the man who once ruled the world of Jango memorabilia with an iron-clad bounty hunter fist (as pictured).  I salute him.

Star Wars: TPM

Just yesterday, Cory said:

"Lets keep in mind, I don't own "Episode 1" either."

Ah, but at one time, he did...

Cool Edit Pro and Sound Forge are both great programs that feature excellent hiss/noise reduction tools.

Yeah, I originally wasn't planning on buying the VOTC Stormtrooper, but it looks so great, I have to pick up at least one.  However, as amazing as the Stormie looks, the 100% markup price is still very discouraging (especially for army builders).

It's a shame Hasbro won't be using ROTJ-specific cardbacks (which featured pics of the characters from ROTJ) for Chewie and Fett.  VOTC Chewie looks great.  It looks like the best Chewie figure yet.  The VOTC Stormie looks great, too.  However, I'm not very impressed with VOTC Fett.  I know the figure is loaded with articulation, but it just doesn't look as detailed as I was expecting (especially at the 100% markup price point).  His proportions seem a bit off for some reason and his wrist gadgets seem a bit oversized.  He also seems to be missing a neck.  VOTC R2 is nothing special (IMO).

Sorry Force Guy, but this isn't how we greet new members here at JD.  "Issues" from other forums stay at other forums.  Fresh starts for everyone here at JD (please)...

Fahrenheit 9/11 took in another $7.2 million this past weekend, bringing its total gross to about $94 million.  Not bad.

And like Ben mentioned earlier, even the inside bubble was smashed up.  The "star case" was smashed in on the top and the bottom, and the inside bubble is crushed too.  I guess its ok, it will make it easier to go ahead and open these up (I had been debating), but I think I would say too that if you want a nice, MOC set, you might want to think twice about Amazon.

Actually, the Han I found at retail wasn't MOC.  It doesn't matter to me since I'm an opener, but I couldn't help but notice that both the card AND bubble were not mint.  There was a ding along the side of the card and the bubble was scuffed up.  It's clear that Hasbro didn't take any measures to ensure that 'mint' condition figures were getting sealed up in these special clamshells.  A protector case doesn't do any good if there's a 'damaged' product inside.

I was wondering if any of you (who collect loose) have been tempted to leave them carded...or to pick up extras of any in particular?

I've been tempted, but no, I haven't picked up any extras to keep carded. I have to admit that C-3PO, Fett, Cloud Car Pilot, Dagobah Luke, Yoda, & Bespin Luke (which I haven't seen in person) look awesome carded.

They're really cool figures but I still don't know how much that translates to 10 dollars cool for the average shopper.

Exactly.  The 100% markup rate of $10 retail is hard to swallow, especially when Hasbro has a history of making 'ultimate' figures like the super poseable Clone Trooper or Ephant Mon available for $5 retail.

I found VOTC figures at TRU yesterday morning.  They had all of them except for Luke.  I picked up (and opened) one VOTC Han.  All I can say about Han is believe the hype.   :P
