Saga Collection '06 / Re: Wal-Mart Value Two Packs @ $9.98
« on: January 27, 2007, 06:06 PM »
Saw some today on an endcap. The only interesting set was the Utapau Clone/Death Star Gunner. I saw a few sets with both variations of the Endor Rebel but they were either packed with Palpatine or any of the various Vaders.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: The "Final 22"
« on: January 27, 2007, 05:59 PM »
I found two Final 22 figures today, the Green AOTC Clone and the Imperial R5-D4 repaint. I picked up the droid since I only had enough for one figure (and I got a Green Clone with those EE packs). Pretty sad that some of you are already caught up but down in Texas we haven't gotten anything.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 2007: Best year for Luke, ever?

Luke is a moneymaker, plain and simple. Back when the ROTS line came out I remember little kids digging through pegs looking for Luke figures, and they seemed bummed when I told them that none were made. I have no problem with this amount of Lukes, especially since most, if not all, of them are fantastic.

Still haven't seen anything new. Every store I go to has either bare pegs or Endor wave figures.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 30AC "Vintage" Figures Thread
« on: January 25, 2007, 08:57 PM »
Is anyone else a little concerned on the Hoth Stormtrooper?   :-\  The more I look at that photo the more that leg pose is bugging the **** out of me...  I can deal with the skirt...  I can even fix that I think.  That leg pose is really starting to frighten me though as possibly a killer to this figure...  It is a little irking to think that the worst figure in the group might be the army builder, and that Hasbro might STILL be giving us pre-posed Snowtroopers.  Hmmm...

I'm really REALLY hoping it's just a trick of the way the figure is angled in the photo and things.

The more I look at it, the more I see it too. I'm sure the skirt will be fixed (as soft good accessories usually are, they always look bad on prototypes), but the leg stance does look a bit spread out. And it IS scary, as well. ALL the past Vintage figures have been sculpted in a neutral stance (except for C-3PO, but I don't count him as a Vintage figure :P), and it would certainly suck to see Hasbro start preposing them. And the Snowtrooper is a figure we've all wanted an SA version of for a good long while.

I suppose we'll have to wait for Toy Fair (or a Hasbro Q&A) to find out for sure.

Sign me up for one of each and as many Snowtroopers as I can get my hands on! Luke, Leia, and Han are great, and a breath of fresh air after all the crappy versions of each we've had to buy over the years. IG-88 and Bossk are cool and will mix in fine with the other Bounty Hunters.

Another fantastic wave. I'll be picking up one of everything. Any word on if Boba is a simple VOTC repaint or does he have any new parts?

OH MY GOD.

These are PHENOMINAL. I want every one of them. But I'll probably pass on Vader and Luke until we get more details about articulation, accessories, etc.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Target Exclusive Order 66 2-Packs
« on: January 24, 2007, 07:15 PM »
Hmm, horrible Jedi figures (that I've already been forced to buy to get other cool items) combined with some repainted clones. I'm only buying AOTC era clones from now on (or new ROTS clones that were actually in the film) so these are big passes for me.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Top 5 Hotties
« on: January 23, 2007, 08:24 PM »
Wait... so Kevin calls me a prevert for thinking a singer two months older than me is hot (and I'm 17), but he, or anybody else, says nothing about grown men drooling about an underage girl and her role role as a 10 year old? Something's odd about that.

I am ALL OVER this set. Wow. I LOVE them! I want several of the Obi-Wan/ARC sets just to replace the crappy ARC Trooper sculpt from the Clone Wars line.

I see that case also includes 2x #38 Bespin Vader. As if Wal-Mart needs MORE of those.

The Vintage Collection / Re: Hasbro Weekly Q and A
« on: January 16, 2007, 06:29 PM »
Hasbro has informed us that due to their busy schedules as they get ready for Toy Fair 2007 and the launch of the 30th Anniversary collection, they will be reducing the Q&A sessions to an "every other week" schedule.

So, there will be no answers this week.  The answers to the questions that we submitted on 1/12 will instead be available on 1/26.

Hmm, that sounds really suspicious. Are they going to go back to the weekly format once Toy Fair/Launch of TAC is over with? If not, I''m thinking that this Q&A could be on its last leg, which I believe a few people around here were predicting a few weeks ago.

Iced over here in Central Texas. Sleet and ice are everywhere. It even snowed for about 30-45 minutes this morning. We've been between 28-30 degrees C since Sunday night. Since anything under 70 degrees is considered cold here, town has basically shut down. No school today, and a very high chance that there won't be any tomorrow either!
