the fact that Juliette didn't know what the cloud-monster thing was

Does she really not know what Smokey the Monster was or did she just say she didn't know?  The way she was standing there staring at it makes me think she knows more than she's letting on (just like all them dang Others).

Anyone else feel nothing was accomplished last night. I think that Juliett being left behind was so that she can infiltrate the Lost camp. Sayid is still my favorite character, he doesn't trust anyone, I love it. 

I agree with you about Sayid, he's really grown into a great character.  And also about Juliette, lots of reasons to think the Others "left" her behind so she could infiltrate the losties camp and act as a spy - wouldn't be the first, or even the second, time they tried that.   

As for the McTrooper - relax, it comes two-per-case in the W1R1 assortment. 

Actually, the McQuarrie Trooper is only 1x per case in each of the three cases that he's in:

McQuarrie Stormtrooper:
- 1x per case in Wave 1, Revision 0
- 1x per case in Wave 1, Revision 1
- 1x per case in Wave 2, Revision 1

And does anyone know what the edition size is like on that one?

Limited Edition of 2500

Do we know what the purchase limit is going to be each day on the McExclusives?

From the StarWars.com story:

"For Celebration IV, quantities of the action figures will be limited per person, based on which admission badge is purchased. Those purchasing 4-day badges will be able to purchase four of the droid figure packs, while supplies last. There are four Imperial symbols on the bottom left of the 4-day badge; these symbols will be punched to show the number of action figures purchased. Those with 1-day badges have one Imperial symbol on their badges, and can purchase one figure pack. Badges will be punched at time of purchase."

Very cool. 

Waaaay better than the C-III Vader.  Sign me up for 2 (carded and loose).   

From the HAsbro Q&A at POTF2 (3/30/07):

What will the variation be on the Bantha & Tusken Raider Battle Pack? (POTF2, 3/30/07)

The variation is a change in coloration of all of the Tuskens to a darker reddish brown hue, the idea being that it is another clan. This was actually our intended original version but due to some difficulties in the schedule we decided to split the run using original colors and the new colors.


So... nothing new on the Bantha, just repaints on the Tuskens.    Sounds interesting, but I think I may still just pass on the whole thing.  I guess I'll have to see the pics to see how "different" they end up being...
