With the help of Darth Slothus, I picked up two K-Mart JTA sets. Whew! I can stop whining about that one now.

Nice to see that the deluxe figures are getting restocked, these are so much better than the EPI and EP2 deluxes that were mostly pegwarmers.

Even though the first wave (sans Grievous) was pretty much crap all the way around, the following two waves have been much better in terms of quality (for the most part) .

Thank you, I don't think enough people give this years deluxe line credit. Out of 15 offerings (including the clone variations) only 3-4 have sat. That's pretty good sales and popularity.

Since the solid case of clone is starting to ship w/o the varient, any spectulation on how that one is going to be handled now?

I recieved my 10 loose Black clone Pilots from the Armybuilder e-bay guy. They're in great shape and it was good deal, less than retail.

Well, we've been there and done that before, haven't we? The modern SW line has been around for 10 years now, and I think we've seen it all before. Sure other lines always get in the way, but the other lines tend to come and go, especially the movie related ones.

I think, as always, there's going to be some worry. After all, after 10 years, retail still has little clue to the fact that second to Hot Wheels guys, we are there every day looking specifically for new product and would continue to make purchases so long as they have new product on the shelf. But instead, once product starts to sit, it stays there proventing product that will move to come in and sell. Until new prodcut starts to just sit when it first arrives, the line will continue, it's just a matter of cutting through all the fat and red tape to make sure we don't miss anything.

These things look very cool, but since they are slightly out of scale with the 3 3/4", I can pass. I'll just play with Matt's.

I bought one more clone evolutions pack today.

Hey Rob, still no Sith Evolution set, huh?
