Saga Collection '06 / Re: Battle of Carkoon Wave

I'm supprised no new images have surfaced yet, we will probably see these by December, I remember people were finding the '04 SAGA in December of '03, it is already October, I'd think we'd have at least seen those same loose shots in better quality appear somewhere.

Yeah, it is a bit surprising that those shots haven't popped up again in a nagazine or anything.   :-\

Like you guys, I'd like a better look at that Boushh and Han to see what the articulation is like.  I'd also like to see how "different" Barada and Chewie will be since it sounds like the Fett in this wave is just a re-pack with nothing new...

Revenge of the Sith / Re: Target's "Attack on Coruscant" Clone 5-pack

One costs$19.99 and it's a blue Bacarra with 4 grey painted clonetoopers.  The 4 are from the Deluxe Clonetrooper with Jetpack.  Obviously without the Jetpacks. 

 ???

I thought that the 4 Gray Clones were #6s (with Quick Draw Action). 

Where did you hear they were Deluxe Clones? 

edit - nm.  I see the guy at scum also posted in the forums over there...

"So I just openned them up and to let everyone know the grey troopers are repaints of the Jet Pack trooper right down to the mounting hole in the back and lack of peg holes in the feet."

Very interesting....

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: What do you buy at the Movie Snack Counter?
« on: October 3, 2005, 05:17 PM »
It's weird -

During the summer, for those big blockbuster type movies - Revenge of the Sith, Batman Begins, etc - the Mrs. and I almost always get a medium tub of popcorn (no fake buttery topping) and a medium drink (pink lemonade) to share.  The exceptions being if we have just had dinner before the show.

Yet, when we go to movies in the winter - Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc - we usually just skip the snacks all together.   

Maybe there is something about the summertime that makes us crave the popcorn while the wintry days of Minnesota cause us to forego the movie treats?   :-\

Revenge of the Sith / Re: ROTS variation/error thread
« on: October 3, 2005, 04:21 PM »
Sounds like a treasure trove of variants have been found with Bly so far...

I've seen reports of Bly with:
- Yellow Shoulder Rings and Yellow Ankle Rings
- Yellow Shoulder Rings and White Ankle Rings
- White Shoulder Rings and White Ankle Rings

Sounds like it might even be possible to see them with mixed yellow/white shoulder parts due to the way that the change was implemented...  :-\

The Prequel Trilogy / Re: 41st Elite (Legion or Corps?)
« on: October 3, 2005, 03:33 PM »
Well, I'd guess that Commander Gree is the leader of the 41st Elite, which is part of the 9th Assault Corps.

At the time of the Battle of Kashyyyk, the 9th Assault Corps was under the Command of General Luminara Unduli, but then maybe Luminara assigned Gree and his 41st Elite to protect Yoda during the battle of Kashyyyk or something.

Wasn't Luminara there on Kashyyk with Yoda?  They are both Jedi, so they both probably got to boss around Gree.

I see that one of the local MN scalpers has this set on eBay...  >:(

Guess it's time to start pestering the nice ladies at the Target Service Desk to see if I can nab one to bolster the Clone Army.   ;)

I couldn't be happier with the way things have shaken out so far this season. :)

You mean how the schedules worked out and you get to play 4 games against the hopeless NCF North this year?

The NFC North is bad, bad, bad.  Three teams with one win and the Packers (0-3) play tonight to try to join them.   :(

Daunte Culpepper - 2 more INT.

At this pace, he'll throw 40 INTs this year... will Blanda's record 42 INTs in one year be in danger?   :P

Guess we'll all have to keep watching.


The Vikings suck.  They knocked Vick out of the game and STILL couldn't stop the Falcons from running all over them.  Sure, the Vikes have 5 injured Defensive players, but come on - even Matt Schaub got off a few long runs on them.  He had almost as many yards as Vick on the same number of carries...  :-\

The Offensive line was horrible (again).  What happened to the team that showed up against NO last week?  Too bad they were replaced once again by the team that played against Cincinatti 2 weeks ago.   :(

Guess no one else is ballsy enough to make some predictions... lame Canadians all claim to love the sport but are afraid to make any brash predictions.  ::)  :P

I'm getting pretty excited for this week... should be fun to have the NHL back!

Time to see how I did...

Jeff's Picks for 2005:


AL East - Boston
AL Central - Minnesota  8)
AL West - California (I refuse to call them LA or even Anaheim  :P)
Wild Card - New York

NL East - Atlanta
NL Central - St. Louis
NL West - San Diego
Wild Card - Florida

Well, in the AL my Twins failed me and I mixed up the order on the Red Sox and Yanks (but they did make it a close race).  Not too shabby.  Over in the NL, the fish let me down, letting the Astros sneak in there instead.  Eh, 75% isn't too bad.   :)


My playoff picks...

New York over California
Boston over Chicago

St. Louis over San Diego
Atlanta over Houston

Boston over New York
St. Louis over Atlanta

St. Louis over Boston - time for the Red Birds to avenge last year...

So, after a few days to digest the price, and even though it's not really in my price range, I'm going to do it.

I've heard that StarWarsShop may be getting in a few of them to sell, you might want to keep an eye out to see if they can do better than the European prices (although the shipping might kill you).   :-\

Kubricks / Series 5
« on: October 3, 2005, 11:39 AM »
I'm going to stick with my earlier guess for the chases this time around...


Quote from: Jeff on August 29, 2005, 03:03 PM
These are my guesses for the chases on Series 5...

Dagobah/Dirty R2-D2 Chase (from the Yoda Box)
Blue Snag (from the Red Snag Box)
Boushh (from the Slave Leia Box)

I don't really mind when they throw out a brand new figure as the chase - it kinda makes it more fun for me.  I'd rather pay the cash for a new figure than a variant I guess.

Original Trilogy Collection / Re: Carded Wedge, finally!

Quote from: Darth_Anton on October  3, 2005, 09:43 AM
I am so stoked that he includes the propper helmet now!

ditto!  And, I'm still glad that this figure got changed from that original plan of just re-releasing the first PotF2 Wedge. 

I'd love to see a 2006 Internet Figure for Biggs using the same set-up - Dutch Vandar Body w/Biggs head and removable helmet!   :)

Revenge of the Sith / Re: #65 Tactical Ops Trooper (501st)
« on: October 3, 2005, 10:59 AM »
Hasbro must have heard that all the fans aren't planning on buying as many of these as the once thought...

I was checking EE this morning to look for new stuff and I noticed that they made a few changes to the case assortments for wave 6. 

Most notably, the wave 1, revision 0 case no longer will have 3x #65 501st Clone.  Instead there will be 1x #18 C-3PO and 2x #65.   That seems like a really strange substitution... take out a clone, add a 3PO?  :-\

Also, the revision 1 case which had 2x #65 and a bunch of repacks was CANCELLED.   :-\

And I take it that the Collection 2 "find" that GH posted a few days ago is looking like BS more and more? Has anyone actually found these?

It's looking more and more like that was a fraudulent report, especially since he said they were 3x per case in the case he found.  A quick look at EE this morning shows that Hasbro CHANGED the case assortment - the 501st is not at 3-per-case in ANY of the case assortments now...
