I'm still waiting for the Coin Album w/Vader to go on sale locally... Walmart had 'em down to 8.95 last week but they're back up to 9.95 now...

Currently I'm a fan of Diet Coke (Splenda)... tastes the best of all the diet cokes imho.   I do enjoy a Coke Zero/ Vanilla Zero though!   And diet Wild Cherry Pepsi.....

Check out this Adam...

Seen it.  Not buying it. :)  Lucas has changed the story on the "official" color of Han's jacket several times over the past 27 years and they've made a lot of mistakes here and there on what they approve.  I don't disagree that it's the most likely, but I still need to see and hear more than a color number on a licensing sheet given how much variation is out there in the character's costume coloring.   Were these mistakes?   Did nobody really care in the production until the modern Hasbro/Kenner line?   Does blue just sell better?  Nosey people with nothing better to think about this morning want to know!

Adam,
Just curious about your take on the Han Hoth Jacket they had in the LFArchrives at CIV?  That was clearly brown for whatever grains of salt that's worth....

Just curious if there might be room for one more without creating a bye.
If so, I'd love to sign on!

Don't forget those stores where the stockers are cherry picking the cases for themselves-  I've had experiences where the clerk is really friendly and brings me a case from the back but it's already opened and the 1-2 figures I'm actually looking for are gone and once where the it takes an "extra long time" and there's a coupla figures from another wave in the case.

That's the first time I've ever seen a Wookiee focus. Very cool.

Here's one I think you need to try and get a hold of.  ;D



HOLY MOSES! That's PERFECT! Who/What/When/Where/Why/How? I have all but one of the 12"-13" releases and they've always been a HUGE disappointment to me, that is hands down the best i've ever seen...

That's sweet!   Looks like the plushy Collectors Series with a borrowed head?

No, you didn't forget about anything. I suppose to fill in the empty space, one could take some of their extra coins and flip them over and have, for example, an Imperial coin, Rebel Coin, Jedi coin etc...

The Jawa coin is great as a filler, it has a Sandcrawler on the back.

Yeah i thought about that one as well. Unless Hasbro has soemthing else planned I will probably go with Rebel, Galactic, Jedi, Mandalorian, Sandcrawler, and see what else is on the back of the coins or use the Indy coin.

What about the coins from the 2nd Legends wave we're about to vote on?     Shouldn't we be getting 5-6 coins for that?  Or is that already accounted for in the album?  (I haven't found one at 2.98 yet so don't have one)

Going to see Wierd Al on Thursday!

I wish Hasbro would have thought it through and given us more spots for the UGH coins.

Somehow, I think a vast minority will be adding UGH coins to their folders.

Vast.... minority!  Hah!  I love it!    A buddy of mine and I went in together for some cases of Wave IV... this was before they broke down the UGH assortments.   Once revealed, he went in and ordered 1 case of each revision.   I don't care about the UGH's but I'm miffed that there was only ONE McVader included in 5 or 6 cases of Wave IV... I have all the "new" figs from the wave now EXCEPT the one that'll be hardest to find.... so much for case orders.....

1:6 Scale Figures and Collectibles / Re: Sideshow 12" Plo Koon
« on: August 13, 2007, 09:40 AM »
Opened up this badboy last night and am pretty impressed.   The sculpt and details are WAY better than the Hasblo version (and YES I PAID to get that one too).   I'm not sure about the cloak though... I think he looks better with out it and back in the box it goes.   And what is WITH that hood?  You can't POSSIBLY put it over his head... is it just decorative?    Its like the hood was designed with Ki-Adi in mind!   

Oboewan

So... am I the only one who is confused by the hood of the cloak?  Did I end up with a "lemon" of a cloak?


103
I ordered it but I am in total agreement of something new.  I'd take a decent Lando.  I know Sidious is up the pipeline and that should be a good one but OT is my favorite subline and a good Lando is sorely lacking...

I'm with you there... we definitely need a GREAT Chewbacca as well to go with the Han!
I read in the last Hasblo Q&A that they didn't "lose" the 12" license to Sideshow, they "leased" it to them.   I have an easy time seeing Hasblo's hand in the character choices.......

Anyone else had any distribution problems?

Jeff

Not in the sense you are having, Jeff. My local comic shop had some in and a couple guys here let me know they were in... the last report said only one box was in. I called before I headed over and they were out. The manager said he was surprised by how quick they went and was going to talk to the distributor about getting more and would get back to me. I have yet to hear anything back.

Anyone need a set of 101-120?  I've got nine of them........
