I saw this guy along with Luke and the gungan. I left the store empty handed but smiling.

« on: November 1, 2006, 10:17 PM »I understand what you are saying here but the math is pretty funny. If it has 2 droids then I'll buy 2 BPs ( = 4 droids). Otherwise I stick to one (= 1 droid).
Like I said, I understand what you are saying but it did make me laugh thinking about the irony.

It sounds funny too. That is some of my prime ilogical logic.

Precisely. If they needed to spell, communicate or present their material well so it would sell they would have gone out of business a while back. Lucky for them that kids will get toys with or w/o that nice windows and spelling is not a kid's priority. Also some collectors will buy anything, so that ensures further profit.

The problem is that people (including Hasbro) cannot tell the difference between new and improved.
If something is new, like Snow Padme, then it never existed before or this particular sculpt of that figure never existed.
If you repaint or glue legs from one guy to another then it is improved (well whether that improves the figure is questionable) but never new.
Hasbro dicks us around with their "new" labels which only mean improved. Hasbro cannot get me to buy a battle pack for just one new figure, mostly b/c I know they will eventually repaint/rehash/repack it and I will be able to get it without buying the rest of the crap. Still I buy improved/repainted ships b/c I am a vehicle nut.

I wish that it has two as well but I doubt it. I guess I am not a optimist. 
However, comparing it to the Senate BP (repaints/repacks and a pod) is unfair even in Hasbro's eyes. This set has two new figures (assuming that R2 and 3PO are repacks-pretty safe assumption there). These are new molds and questionable as their arituclation may be, they are still new. So the rules on production cost and what not are not the same for the Senate BP and this one. Also many of the recent BPs (or upcoming) feature several repacks with the rest being rehashes or repaints.
Objectively I just do not see Hasbro being that nice. But if it has 2 droids then I will buy 2 BPs. Otherwise I stick to the one.

I was thinking about this and the dirty troopers. I have to admit that if I had to walk out into that hallway of the Tantive IV, I would have probably crapped my armor too. I mean, that was an intense and deadly moment in Star Wars history and perhaps Hasbro is making sure we all know that.

I know. But recent pics from the other BPs show the figures closer together in profile than this particular BP. The Tantive IV one shows a stormy behind Vader but he does not appear to be so far that you can barely see him. I honestly wish that it had two but the way Hasbro has been screwing with us lately, I really doubt.
But I will happily eat crow over this.

It has to be one. If the second droid in the background is real then the size of the box for this BP is as wide as the AT-AT box is tall.

I have to agree Hasbro is putting out a lot of crap lately. It is like a seasonal ****storm.

I thought it was only one chameleon droid. The second seems to be in the cardboard background but I might still get this set.
