Yep, we help each other out.  ;)
So I snagged the two Senate guards and the other Zam from two cases put out at a Wal-Mart that has been crazy packed with figures in two separate areas, yet they put out more. Uh, OK?
With General Lando wave and new Clone Wars Ahsoka and Anakin wave now shipping, keep 'em coming. Although, I figure Target has to get in the act here.

It's a nice sturdy vehicle, it is.
Think we'll ever get a red repaint?

I see a lot of AATs and Hyenas (which I've yet to pick up). Swamp Speeder is surprisingly plentiful too.
Only seen Plo Koon's fighter in one store and left it several times, but don't regret it, yet.
Got Xanadu Blood and Droid Gunship via HTS and have yet to see them in a store.

its his collection, why question it?

I wasn't questioning it. It was a declarative statement, clearly not interrogatory.

Interrogatory or declarative, it still came off as though you were trying to stir **** up. It's his collection, he enjoys it, and that's all that needs to be understood.

Wow, you're quite the Jedi Master as you can tell tone and intent from just a couple words.
Wait, I'm getting something, could it be by using profanity that you are trying to stir something up? Huh!
I've dropped it. Why don't you?

But why not make the cooler, niche figures now before some move to realistic where they stand NO chance of getting done?
Let's be honest, Hasbro mismanages the hell out of Star Wars.

I thought they hinted months ago in a q&a repsonse that there wouldn't be  a whole lot of new Clone Wars offerings in 2011.

I don't recall that, but DePriest just said as much in that snippet interview running over at Sandtroopers. He indicated they want to focus the line a little more and not delve into the background characters as much. He really seemed down on Duchess Satine's chances of ever getting made.

I guess they'd rather just do core, essential characters like El-Les (1 appearance to date ) and the Aqua Droid (1 appearance to date).

Yeah, I think there was a dramatic disparity in the attention given to TVC versus TCW. Aside from the Deluxe sets, there was 0 new product shown for TCW that hadn't already leaked weeks before. Makes me wonder if the line isn't in trouble somewhat this year...

How could the line be in trouble with a show on the air?

Snagged these today in KC. DCPI is 087-06-0044

Awesome...saw reports at RS and Sandtroopers these were starting to hit. Were they on the pegs or did you have to use the DCPI mind trick?

Back on the Hunt!

This is In Stock and available to order now from Hasbro Toy Shop!  ;D

I ordered one immediately, came to $34.71 with tax, shipping, etc. Wish I had a valid promo code but oh well.

I'm paying $10 over MSRP, but I just don't feel like waiting til late spring on this thing. Considering I bought the Droid Gunship and Tri-Fighter back in December and they have yet to show up at retail, I think it's a good call.

Even better if the thing actually shows up in pristine shape - I won't even have to exchange it.

How deep are your pockets?

Why this line isn't integrated with vintage or whatever the current line is, I just don't understand.

What's been "corrected" about Jango Fett? I thought color was still purple.

I am hoping this would come with a figure included as well then, ala the Turbo Tank. That would be a nice throw-in, especially something unique.

"Attack based playset" - hmmm. Maybe Hasbro is warming up to the idea?

Well, we're going to need a unique-deco pilot, right?

They can't wipe out gift card balances and not pay them back. Get 'em guys!

It's the right move. They can get repaints out of it too, which we should soon start to see for the AT-TE and Turbo Tank, great vehicles both. This should be a worthy successor.
