The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: Clone Wars Preview Figure - Captain Rex
« on: August 24, 2008, 03:38 PM »
They sent me an email (after I sent one first of course) that mine was shipped on july 21st BUT then I got another email the next day saying it was sent on August 20th (the day they sent the second email). In the end I am royally pissed off with hasbro. This long of a wait without even getting the letter which states the delay is pure BS not to mention two emails which contradict eachother.

I was able to get the grey clone,jodo, and dooku.\

Grey clone= Looks awsome but again the only thing I hate is the fact that the #41 body still cannot sit. I also noticed the grey straps that are supposed to go around the shoulders does not on mine. 4/5

Dooku= Its a holo figure with great articulation..even though it is not needed. I didnt want to buy him but figured that I wanted the droid so I might as well. Besides buying it in the states was already saving me $4 anyways. 4/5

Jodo Kast= BS figure. The arms are loose as hell because of the action feature and then head is just as bad. Add to the fact that the pose they have him in warps his legs a little making it hard to stand. Only thing this figure has going is great paint apps. 2/5

my half build a droid looks cool so far but the arm is crap because of the articulation they choose. It is not SA and I dont see why they couldnt have just used 4-loms arms instead.

Went to Fan Expo last night and I was able to find :

General Mcquarrie, Concept snowy, Zev Senesca, one of those tiny $6 Vader Bust ups(the vader I got was different from the one on the packaging...rare varient maybe?) Clone Wars volume 1 graphic novel, some saga ak Med Beq figure and I was able to meet Jeremy Bulloch In which I got a autograph and a picture. Yesterday was tons of fun but once again SW product was harder to comeby then previous years.

Hey, wonder what everyone thought about the scene where Asoka was bragging to the troops and artooie had a chat with another droid, was that R2-KT?  It would be very Lucas to slip something like that in.  I hadn't seen anyone else mention that, didn't know if anyone else caught it.

I noticed the R2-KT when I watched it online last night, I thought that was a very nice tribute.  :)

Oh, did I say online!  :-X

Downloading the flick now.  ;D


for a second there I thought it was a screener..but alas it is not. Quality is not good enough for me to download. Ill just wait till a screener dvd is available.

Sales tax in NY varies by county, but I think in Erie county (where Buffalo is located) its 9%.


Cool thanks a lot :)

its a little off topic but since I am going to Buffalo this friday and we will be doing some shopping I was wondering how much Sales Tax is there. Im exchanging $100(more like $94 US) and I am wondering how much more I will need  to cover tax. Thanks.

someone over on sandtroopers found the 212th battalion BP already. Looks like the August 22 release date was the real one. But damn this just means I have one more thing to cross my fingers for this Friday :-X

Just a question though...whats so different between these and the single release(besides it being a multi pack i know) I am refering to quality. Cause I found a battle droid for $12 at a comic shop yet I always see people online talk about how they had to pay $50+ a figure.

There is no difference in quality between the Kubrick figures in the basic series and the box sets.

The difference in price is related to how rare a figure is.  A battle droid is cheaper ($8-12) because it is part of a standard series, so it's easier to find.  It is the rare chase figures and the exclusive carded figures and/or exclusive box sets that tend to go for the higher prices.

damn and I thought I found a killer deal lol. Either way thanks for the info!

I don't know how many theaters around you guys were showing it, but I think part of the small weekend take was that a lot of theaters aren't showing it

I thought two of them in my area was but I found out yesterday that although one place had posters and signs everywhere.. they never even got it. And the theatre that does have it only has 4 movie times for it.The only other theatre I know thats playing it is in the next little city and I know that one is going all out as my buddy was telling me.

Just going on the reaction of the crowd in the theater I was in (200 5-9 year olds and their fathers), I was really surprised by the low box office numbers.

Same thing happened when I watched it. The theatre had about half capacity all being parents and their younglings yet it was surprisingly quite as all the kids just couldnt get their eyes off the screen.

They have something called a customer satsifaction case.  It has multiples of all 18.  The first McDonald's I went to was very accommodating.  The manager went back, grabbed the case, and pulled all 18 toys for me - 15 minutes of work for her that she did not have to do.  I was able to buy all of them a la carte.



No they dont...Its called on the days we do brower(restock) we get all the toys seperated in their own case. usually 2/3 different types in a box. So that BS of we only have so and so is a lie. They are all in the back room however we do usually have strict rules about which are allowed to open but if a customer insists we simply go to the back with manager permision and take a knife to each box to make a big enough hole to grab 1 of each toy. We may have had those cases way back when but no longer. Each box just has a nubmer on them in which we have to follow order.

I wonder what they're implying with "generously proportioned physique"?  He's not fat, right?  His clothes are a little baggy...


maybe they are refering to the fact that his sculpt can then be reused to make other figures?
