Kmart B-Wing ?  I'm perfectly fine with the 4-5 POTJ versions I have, but I do dig that box (if this is true)  Odd how K-Mart continues to get non sucky exclusives...

Well here it is in all of its unglorified glory.  This is a 10x20 climate controlled storage unit I've had for a few years and it looks nowhere near that big - maybe half the size (I'm terrible at taking photos) but thought it's time to share with you my fine collection of boxes.  There's actually a few hundred boxes in there, but ya just a quit snap as I was helping a local find a Transformer that's 2' 1/2" tall and it took us a good 45 mins to find.  I had an avalanche of SW LEGO stuff in the background and the Terrordrome is sitting there in need of a good cleaning.  Will try and take more photos later if I ever find time.  Very sloppy and unorganized in there right now because I'm in a state of chaos.  This is everything SW Hasbro carded/boxed toys from 01-10 (except for a few CW figs) minus some of those stupid lines + my TF/Joe collection.  Can't see it all though, can you?



**Time for an update......  06/16/11
Purchased my first home a few months ago so I was finally able to pull everything out of storage and...well move it into my house.  Obviously haven't had time to set much up, but gives you a better idea of what's going on.  I quit buying carded SW figs right about the time they took a price hike and the distribution problems began and I plan on selling most of my SW stuff in the coming months, starting here at JD.

Saw these this morning at Target where they keep all the baseball cards and stuff.  This is not my auction, and I didn't pay attention to the price at the store..I guess they'd be kinda neat if you're into rubber bands?

Title says it all.  I think this is the first mail away that my MN buds can't help me with.

Got a $10 off any $50 purchase coupon from TRU today - too bad it expires on 07/25 though.  Hopefully I can find some new TF goodies to spend it on.   

Caught ROTJ on Spike this evening (again) and it had me wondering.  Luke got shocked by the Emperor's lightning for a minute or two and was completely fine afterwards, but Vader only got the treatment for a few seconds or so as he tossed the old man and he kicked the bucket soon after.  Granted he just got his hand chopped off and is more "robot" than man, but.....

Sounds like we may not be getting a dias for Jabba according to Yak's qna.    At least Oola is new though...It will be interesting to see what this is priced at, but I would have paid a decent amount of change for an updated throne/dias.

Q2) Rumors are swirling of a new Oola being offered as a pack in for the new Jabba the Hutt battle pack, I for one surely welcome the idea. Hypothetically, if that is the case, would/could she be in a reclining sculpt similar to the recent Slave Leia or do you plan on offering a fully ambulatory sculpt? If not, what if you had a the reclining version as the battle pack pack-in and then offered a fully articulated one in the basic "Vintage" line later down the road as you'd already have a completed sculpt for the head, arms and torso? Also regarding the Jabba Battle Pack, would it be out of the question to throw in one or two of those court denizens from the 2004 Ultra/Deluxe Saga pack namely Bubo and/or Wol Cabasshitte? Jabba needs his buddies!

A2: You are right in that a new Oola is coming with Jabba. However, this was an expensive pack for us to produce so we concentrated on a new nicely articulated Oola, but no secondary sculpts or other accessories could be put in. We know you'll enjoy the end result - we think it's fantastic and well worth the wait.

Patiently awaiting until August to see if there's anything I want to bite on....I assume this line will continue full boar until the next movie hits theatres.  Hope we get a vinty/upgrade bone here or there until then.
