Did they really put a new head on the 1997 endor trooper?  And where did the TIE with the INCORRECTLY scaled wings come from?

This is so freaking lame I can't believe it.

That really WOULD be the best wave ever - and after showing 500 products that are mostly ****, they have the nerve to make a joke like that?


**** that.

For the most part I'm very disappointed in what Hasbro's shown at Comic-Con.

Republic Commandos - repaints and internet exclusives (probably)
Geonosian Warrios - repaints
Chewbacca with Threepio - repack
Kit Fisto Jedi Starfighter - repaint
Yellow Jedi Starfighter - repaint
Vader's Starfighter - repaint, and made up
Hailfire Droid - repaint
Kit Fisto - repaint

Snowspeeder - repaint with a trick figure to get people to buy ANOTHER snowspeeder

Tin colletions - repacks with an occasional new figure mixed in to take advange of people who want one of every figure

Rebel Fleet trooper EU - repaint of a horrible figure?!  WTF?

Snowtrooper - repack with a removable helmet (nice) with Jango's face (Boooo) - and it doesn't even use the new legs from the SAGA version.

AT-AT Walker - repaint with more Jango-faced-removable-helmet-nonsense

TIE Fighter - repaint, packed with the crappy version of the TIE Pilot

Cody Hologram - recast holo rehashed nonsense

Obi-Wan Hologram - see: Cody Hologram.

Early Bird Kit? - repack
Han in Hoth gear - repack



The only interesting items I've see are:

R5-A1 - kitbashed droid,
Imperial Officers - rehashes
Kir Kanos and Carnor Jax - Internet exclusive and kitbashed
Barc trooper
Han in Stormtrooper disguise - is that as straight up as it looks?
Galactic Marine - kit bashed
Airborn Trooper - kit bashed
Lava Miner - new

Are the battle droids and super battle droids repacks or new?  Probably repacks.
 

I really hope there's more for 2007, because almost all of this is crap made on the cheap, designed to rip off completists and keep army builders building.   

The fact that this image is a joke makes me even more disappointed:





I think I'm going to seriously close up my wallet this year if this is how it's going to be.

Then go buy it, it's already for sale.  You can even get a deal here with some extra stuff ;)

That's infuriating, I paid about $40.00 shipped JUST for the Super exclusive Lucas set and now I can get that plus 7 figures for about 10 bucks more?

I'm getting tired of Hasbro yanking us around with the exclusives and the non predictable availability and the re-releases.

Which sucks, because when new figures come out I love it, but I don't like it when this kind of stuff happens.

I'm starting to seriously contemplate scalling back my collecting, a lot.

It's cool that they're painting up the rest, but it's not cool that I'm going to have two Scorches...

No bones, no fecal material, nothing to show that the Nellie is real.



You can go poking around through his fecal matter if you want to.

I believe.

Oh, I thought you meant Nelly.

Is everyone satsified with the Wedges we have?  I never see him on any wishlists, which is I think is odd.  Maybe it's just me.  I'd like to see both X-Wing and Snowspeeder versions of him, SA, and on a card already.  Good lord.

After the $17 I paid for the last Wedge on a card figure, they'd better not make any more.

Well no, that's probably a real picture of an otter.

This one's definitely fake... notice how the water isn't affected where it breaks the surface like it is in your second picture.

Well after a month or so in 1st and at one point holding a 6 point lead, I thought my team had shaken the bi-polar thing and would be rather consistent, but since the all-star break they've been HORRIBLE (except Andru Jones...).

My pitchers keep getting blown up for 5 and 6 runs... my WHIP has been around 2.00.. my team BA is .12 lower than it was a few weeks ago (losing Alex Rios and Michael Barrett didn't help in that regard).

Just when I started getting hopes of maybe riding this thing out...

Oh, and since that 3 HR game, Teixeria is 2 for 20 with 1 run and 2 RBI...  ::)

How about 50% off for all the people who couldn't get through their lame-ass system this morning.

(Thanks for sharing that though).

He's totally new. The head is ball-jointed, the thighs and knees are articulated, and the right arm is removable. Therefore, this is the ultimate C-3PO! I could go without a new OT C-3PO for the rest of my life now that I have this!

Funny how potentially the worst Threepio to date was the $10.00 VOTC one, and this one is way better for 3 dollars less.

Found my first pair today...

No doubt about it, it's supposed to be Jango's head under there.

So the helmets stay on unless I decide to do 2 dozen headswaps...
