Uh, maybe not.  I believe my fantasy season just went in the crapper something fierce  Holy snotballs. :o

Wow, what a horrible sounding injury.   :-\

It's definitely time to get out when 1 more routine hit may permanently cripple you...

Why so much hate for Jango?

I don't think it is hate for Jango personally - just the fact that he's just another 2006 repack and NOT the brand new vOTC-esque SA sculpt that everyone was secretly hoping for...  :-\

I will say though that I don't remember seeing the Gray Grunts in the movie. Does anyone know what scene these are in?

The easiest place to spot them is when Yoda is getting ready to leave for Kashyyyk.  The gray grunts are all over the place there...

I'm afraid that this wave will not hit the midwest.

Just drive north a few hours - it's been appearing pretty regularily at Target here in MN.   :)

Granted, the 501st Clones are the first to go, but the Astromech and Holo-Jedi have been spotted around town a number of times and the Wookiee is getting more common.  I think by the time Christmas rolls around, these will start appearing in greater numbers. 

There are three different case assortments shipping right now for Wave 6 of Collection 2, and the 501st Clone trooper is at 2x per case in each of the 3 case packs.

I had a chance before bed last night to check out my Gray Clone Evo sets that arrived in the mail.  I must say I am quite pleased with these Clone Evo sets (the first version and this alternate).

I like the weathering (the red "dust" is a bit much on the clones) and I really like the sculpt.  I bought two sets, so I think I'll set these guys up on the shelf in each of the versions - 1x Ep2 Trooper & 1x Ep2 Pilot and 1x Ep 3 Gray Officer & 1x Ep3 Gray Grunt.

I really wish these sets would continue.  I'd love to see more Clones get cranked out this way... I've seen so many possible clone sets in all our various Evolutions threads:

Ep2 - Clone Captain (Red)
Ep3 - Shocktrooper
Ep4 - Sandtrooper (Black Pauldron/CLEAN - no battle damage, no mud)

Ep2 - Clone Trooper (White/Clean)
Ep3 - Galactic Marine
Ep5 - Snowtrooper

Ep2 - Clone Officer (Green)
Ep3 - BARC Trooper
Ep6 - Scout Trooper

Ep2 - Clone Officer (Blue)
Ep3 - 501st Trooper
Ep4 - Stormtrooper


The possibilities are endless...

So, I got my order in the mail yesterday... but I didn't have a chance to open them because I went straight from work to the Hockey Game (Wild v. Phoenix). 

So, I got home from the game and took a brief look at them before heading to bed.  I have to admit that once I had them in my hand, they don't suck quite as bad as I first thought.  Don't get me wrong, I am still not thrilled about owning a purple kitty-cat deco, ugly silver Clone Trooper but it's not as bad as it could be. 

I guess that at this point, I should just be happy that I was lucky enough to grab one for my collection and just move on...  :-\

Went to the game last night to see the Wild get whipped on by Phoenix (who had 3 goals on 6 shots in the first 9 minutes :().

It was funny to see 99 all dressed up in a suit behind the bench... he even got a big cheer when they announced him - of course former gopher Keith Ballard got an even louder cheer when they announced him.   ;)

So, for the record, I've now seen two games:

vs. Vancouver - LOSS
vs. Phoenix - LOSS

I'm 0-2 so far this year.   :'(

The 3PO is an abomination!  I'm already running from this stinker (except for the Commando)

I agree that if they try to sell that figure with only the Battle Droid head, it is doomed as a stinker.   :(

If they include extra stuff (the 3PO head at a minimum), it might do OK with kids I guess since R2 wil be available in the wave before (and probably still on the pegs) and the RotS 3PO seems to have sold well. 

In fact, I'd even buy an opener if they go so far to include the extra battle droid parts.  I always meant to (but never got around to) buy an extra of the Saga Deluxe version so that I could to display in both the "swapped" and "correct" modes for 3PO and the Droid.

So wait a second, were there republic Commandos in the actual movie? Or are they just using this as an excuse to get the figure out there?

I'd say it's the second part...

I do not believe that there were Republic Commandos "on-screen" in AotC, but in the Republic Commando video game, there is quite a bit of pounding on Geonosians.  I'm guessing there is enough of a tie that way so they could slip this EU figure into the regular assortments.


I have to admit that I'd love for there to be a running change on "Scorch" so we can get the rest of the squad too - bring on Sev, Fixer, and Boss!  ;)

Ok, what is this wave, 7 figures?  That kind of concerns me.  I guess the ratio might be something like this?

Sora Bulq - x 3
Commando - x 3
Sun Fac - x 2
C3PO - x 1
Poggle - x 1
Yoda - x 1
Jango Fett - x 1

At least, that's how I'd do it.

Sure that looks good, but let me translate into "Hasbro" for you:

1x Sora Bulq
1x Republic Commando
1x Sun Fac
1x Poggle
2x C3PO
3x Yoda
3x Jango Fett

Ah,... that's more like Hasbro's idea of a good case assortment.  :-X

Or maybe we will luck out and they will add a Hoth Vader or Carkoon Fett in the place of that extra 3PO and Jango?   :P

You should ask Jedijaybird to send you a pic of his custom of this... it is way sweet. Saw it in person.

I agree, Jayson's set is fantastic!

Any chance for a "Morgbug" sandwich?
- It'd have to use day-old bread and be filled with some stinky cheese and canadian bacon!

Or what about the "JediMAC" sandwich?
- It'd be filled with those classic california ingredients and a little hot sauce for flaming those trolls!

Wow!



Hasbro has the Geo wave up now!

Check it Out!

It looks something like this:

Sora Bulq = *new*
Sun Fac = *new*
Scorch (Republic Commando) = *new*
C-3PO = Saga Deluxe Repack (no extra 3-PO head included?  ???)
Poggle the lesser = Saga Screen Scene repack
Jango Fett = Saga Kanimo Escape repack
Yoda = RotS repack (minus cloak)


Glad to see the rumor list we saw earlier panned out for the most part, but we seem to be missing a Clone Trooper. :(

- 80.0 GB hard drive (7200 rpm)

....Hard Drive is getting full.....

Forgive my stoopid question, and no offense intended, but how you even fill up 80 gigs?

It looks something like this (estimates):

Video Games (~20-25GB):
Everquest (and a pile of expansions)
EQ2
Star Wars Galaxies (and 3 expansions)
City of Heroes (and City of Villians expansion)
World of Warcraft
KotOR 1 & 2
Battlefront 1 & 2
and many, many, many other VGs that I am too lazy to un-install and then re-install when I want to play them  ::)

iTunes (~21GB):
- ALL of my CDs (over 3000 songs)
- ALL of my wife's CDs (over 1000 songs)

Digital Photos (~3GB)
(again, too lazy to burn them to CDs since my wife does a lot of scrapbooking stuff with them)

All sorts of Software (~10-12 GB)
- Full Adobe plus Adobe Reader
- Photoshop
- MS Office (Word/Excel/PowerPoint/Access)
- Digital Camera software
- all sorts of other crap I have "accumulated" over the 4 years  ::)

I know there is other stuff I am forgetting, but I know there is easily close to 50GB in music and video games alone...  :-[
