Saga '02-'04 / Re: New Hoth 4-pack!
« on: September 9, 2003, 09:27 PM »picked me up one of these today! It is awesome!!!
I too just found this today at TRU (Roseville MN). Excellent set for the money. The Taun-Taun is GREAT!
Leia is the worst of the bunch, but I love Taun-Tauns and droids.
The new Hoth Han looks cool riding this new TaunTaun too!

The TRU SKU from the receipt is 076930267035 for those that are curious about those kinds of things...

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Anyone preorder the wave 13 case from NFC?
« on: July 28, 2003, 01:58 PM »
Hi All,
I just heard that Hasbro cancelled wave 13 so NewForce isn't gonna get anymore of that exact case.
A replacement case with "most" of the same figures will be offered in Sept/Oct timeframe.
I'd be careful though, because with Hasbro "most" could mean only threee of the figures!
I guess this is one of those few times when pre-ordering blows up in your face!
Glad I picked up a Wat Tambor at Target when I saw him...

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Jedi Points? Your Prediction
« on: July 18, 2003, 03:23 PM »The verdict
Sounds like it is an auction!
We are still finalizing what will be auctioned on the site, but we will have hard-to-find items like Jorg Sacul, Toy Fair Darth Vader and the R2-D2 Astromech Droid. The promotion is scheduled to run for a three-month trial period. We will then evaluate the program for the future; however, this may be the only opportunity to ever use your Jedi Master Points, so don’t save them up for something in the future! The total number of auctions will also be limited, so bid early. As more details about the promotion are finalized, we will post on the website, so check back here.
How are they going to keep track of the points?
What if jerks out there bid 1,000,000 points, "win" the auction, but don't have the points to send in? Will they just get a mean note from Hasbro or will the Big H have to go through the list of bidders until someone actually sends the points in?
OR, will we have to send in our points first so they can be counted and then be eligible to vote in the auctions?
I'll be waiting to see how this potential fiasco turns out...

Hi,
Yesterday, I saw this news at NewForce that they received a limited amount of Waves 13 AND 15 on Tuesday Jul-01 (very limited):
"Star Wars wave 13 and 15 update
July 1, 2003 | 9:17 PM | newforce
Today we received a very, very small quantity of wave 13 and 15 cases...we will start shipping out preorders as they were submitted (FIFO, except where we tried to combine a seperate wave 13 and 15 preorder to save shipping...)...We hope to receive more product or allocations from Hasbro next week, and will update here (our email update list is temp out of commission)...all preorders that can be filled, have processed at this point..."
Then today, I received a UPS ship notification e-mail today!
The orders are being filled FIFO, so depending on when you pre-order, it may not be much longer wait!

Clone Wars '03-'05 / Re: Clone Wars toys are OUT!!!
« on: June 18, 2003, 11:19 AM »Also today I was at a Target store and I asked about the Star Wars toys. I was told that they are in the back for a promotional type event. I think we will be seeing some adverftisements in the very near future.
The Hunt is on my friends, the hunt is on.
Hi,
I live in MN and have friends at Target's main offices and Distribution Center.
I can confirm that Target does have some promo events (weekly Ad) planned for Clone Wars this summer and that most Target stores already have Clone Wars product (basic figures and 3 vehicles: Gunship, Starfighter, AAT) in the back room...

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Nice Images of Figures & More
« on: June 10, 2003, 08:45 PM »Sorry I was told not to scan in the catalog and post the images.
But apparently EE has no problem releasing the source pictures!
If you head over to GalacticHunter.com, they have posted the high-res photos EE used to create the catalog (with EE's permission).
Head on over there to check them out:

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Luke and Darth: A New Hope...What are they?
« on: June 9, 2003, 11:36 AM »
Well,
Apparently, my theory on the collection 1 to 2 swap was bass-ackwards wrong!
The new EE catalog is shipping with pictures, and it appears the pictures they are using for Luke and Vader are the T-16 CommTech Luke (w/ New Lightsaber) and the MotDS Vader.
So, I thought what I thought and argued for it until I saw proof otherwise, and this would appear to be the proof I sought.
So, for now, I guess they are scheduled to be boring re-pack figures... CommTech Luke and MotDS Vader.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Luke and Darth: A New Hope...What are they?
« on: May 22, 2003, 03:31 PM »When this first came up I thought they were just the ROTJ Vader and Luke on new cards, I'm sticking by that until I see more proof, but this was just the second confirmation
I would have to agree with you.
The Jedi Duel Vader and Jedi Luke due this summer are planned as the last wave of Collection 1 before it switches to "Clone Wars".
So, when I initially read of the "re-issue" Luke and Vader being in future Collection 2 Saga cases, I just assumed that these were the Jedi Duel figures re-carded onto Collection 2 cards in order to pump out more of the figures to the market.
That way, they don't have to include the "collection 1" Luke and Vader in the future collection 1 "clone wars" assortment cases to mix up retailers. They just move them to Collection 2 and move on.
Probably their way of insuring that whole "everyone who wants one gets one" for Luke and Vader since so many fans are crying out for a new Jedi Luke!
So, until I read proof otherwise, I'll just assume it's the Jedi Duel Vader and Luke we already know about...

Original Trilogy Collection / Re: Defender Wish Lists: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
« on: May 6, 2003, 04:17 PM »
Here's my choices:
10. Admiral Ozzel – “He is as clumsy as he is stupid”
9. Captain Needa – “Apology accepted, Captain Needa” *urk*
8. Major Bren Derlin – Cheers denzien AND hoth good guy in one.
7. Toryn Farr – We need more ladies in the SW universe and comm officer Farr is a good place to start!
6. Cloud Car Pilot – maybe if they make the figure, they’ll have to finally make the darn vehicle!
5. Zev Senesca with removable helmet – He rescued Han and Luke, and hey, Jek got a figure so it’s not impossible!
4. Wes Janson with removable helmet – MORE rebel pilots please! I’d love a good removable helmet, generic snowspeeder-pilot gear figure to use for snow-speeder pilot customs!
3. “Generic Bespin Background character” – Hmmm... which one should I choose, so many running around the halls of Bespin. If only there was one background character that stood out. Maybe running with an appliance? Hmmm... um... how about: Ice-Cream Maker Guy! (great OCB, now you’ve got me wanting one too)
2. NEW Princess Leia in Bespin Gown – we need to replace that Leia-2pack version!
1. NEW un-buff Dagobah Luke Skywalker w/cloth Yoda bag and crates. It’d be nice if he came with a swamp base/stand that allows him to do hand-stands!

Hi JediMAC and OCB,
Thanks for the welcome to JediDefender.
I've been lurking around here for a bit, but a e-mail note from an on-line friend recently convinved me to start posting...
As for the TIE, I think it is pretty much the same mold as before, but with the back end of the cockpit re-sculped to get rid of the battery compartment.
Oh, and the pilot is pretty much the same one fom the Bomber and the Iterceptor.
