Also in my defense, this was the lowest ratings World Series in the history of MLB on television. 

Yeah, with two upper-midwest teams I guess I expected the low ratings.   Without a team from either coast, it was going to be hard to generate any kind of ratings.

I wonder what the worst possible WS match-up would be for national ratings?

When teams are from the same region (on the coasts), you know that people will watch for the uniqueness of seeing NY vs. NY or Oakland vs. San Fran.  But other "super-regional" series seem like they'd do awful ratings wise...

Would folks on the East Coast stay up late for Twins vs. Brewers?
Would folks west of the Mississippi care about Tampa Bay vs. Marlins?

 

The poster figure 4-packs popped up as a rumor right before SDCC this year in one of the Rebelscum 411 Reports:

These action figure four packs will feature 8 x 11" movie poster replicas, and will include a special base to showcase the figures and posters. Currently we can expect six of these poster packs in 2007, but if the line is successful, we will likely see more. Don 't hold your breath for new sculpts though…

But at SDCC 2006, Hasbro said the Poster 4-pack idea was dropped because they chose to go with the Tin 4-pack idea instead for the 30th Anniversary (and this was confirmed in the Q&A from GH this past week).

Still a chance the Poster Figure 4-Packs could come back in the future, but for now they are dead...

This give-away is now closed!

We should have a winner drawn in the next few days!   

Considering the facts that:

1 - The title of the thread is Target  "Ambush On Ilum" Battle Pack.

-and-

2 - We reported a few weeks back that it is listed as a specific item in the Target computer for $19.99 (DPCI # 087-06-0835) and Target only does that for exclusive battle packs (like the Skirmish BP and the Mace Squad BP).

I'd say, yeah, there's a pretty good chance it is a Target exclusive here in the USA.   

I'm glad to see something new and substantial in this set. 

I don't need another R2 and 3PO, but I'll still gladly buy this one for Padme and the other droid(s).   

The Hasbro Q&A for JD from 10/20 has been posted.

- More 7" Unleashed in 2007?
- Willl we see the Imp army builders from the 30th Anniversary Tins again?
- Comic Packs Wave 2?

How many people have 6 Cantina Band Members in their collection? 

I've consided it too, but I haven't yet pulled the trigger.  It would be cool to have one posed with each style instrument...
