Hell, a 2 star for AOTC but 3.5 for TPM?  Is he on crack?

I guess I am too, as IMO TPM is far superior to AOTC.


Same here, as much as a I hated the kid that played Ani I still find it  better then AOTC. I wouldnt say its far superior but it is better by just a little bit :P

So according to Yakface, TRU is now back to $6.99 for basic figure prices.

Canada is of course just destroying the competition... ::)

We're on the board with 3 now... much rejoicing.

I was so shocked when I watched that. I really thought we would end up with nothing at the rate we were going lol.

While i like the action and battle scenes for the style and look of it. there isn't much of a feeling of danger. I've been rewatching the cartoon network volume 1 this morning and this current series could of used a few touches of the first clonewars animation. One is the dialogue is minimal and works very well. second they do have a feeling of danger with durge and ventress and both characters push obi and anakin to a point of defeat before being defeated themselfs. The movie could of used another darkside disciple that could of been killed. i know in the comics dooku had ventress, skorr, vos for awhile, and sora bulq.


Sadly that sense of danger will never strike us though because we all know how the story ends ::) However for ashoka that sense of danger can still be there as with Rex(did he just replace alpha arc?). The movie IMO was great, from beginning to end I was entertained and heck I want more. What we need now is more new jedi characters so that sense of danger and suspense as you were tlaking about can still be there. cause as it is right now the only danger that can happen to sky guy is getting his robo claw cut off every now and then.

thanks  ifett, I completly forgot about that otheR Site.

some of the pictures with the clones are just making this thing so much more tempting especially after watching the movie :-\ but I must resist temptation. I just gotta keep telling myself its $100 I can spend on other stuff.

Other Collectibles / Re: Clone Wars Happy Meal Toys
« on: August 15, 2008, 08:52 PM »
I can't decide if these are just really really bad or if they are the worst happy meal premiums ever.  Pass.

They are not the worst. Trust me. The pirates stuff was horrible (dead mans chest) the micky d I worked at still had a box, no other stores would take it and no kids wanted it. We tried to give it away at a birthday party and the next week we found the majority of the kids brought them back to trade for other toys lol. Besides these seem to have a lot more detail then most of the toys we used to get.

I am pretty surprised to find that no movie theatre near my home has a midnight viewing for clone wars. Even moreso surprised that a bunch of theatres had displays of clone wars yet only 3 of them are actually going to play it. I am watching it tommorow at 6pm which is only the 3rd showing on that day at the theatre I am going to. and I thought Hasbro was the only SW company screwing us canucks over ::)

The Legacy Collection / Re: Recent Legacy Purchases
« on: August 14, 2008, 06:14 PM »
 I found one more animated clone trooper and the Rebel evo V2 set. I was also able to get the last Legacy book, finally it has been a while since I read a book too.


And for fun I bought my first lotery ticket today and I won $6  ;D I was a little annoyed that I had to show ID.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Indiana Jones 4 - The Movie

They got lucky with Indy IV being so great (at least in my opinion), so I think they need to quit now.

Lucky?  C'mon!  They're amazingly talented guys who have shaped modern cinema for the last 30 years!   

Three words: THE PHANTOM MENACE.

....was a great movie, nuff said ::)

The Original Trilogy / Re: Are Stormtroopers Clones?
« on: August 14, 2008, 10:59 AM »
I wish I had kept that article dated 1978 that explicitly stated that Stormtroopers were clones.

The card back of the POTF stormtrooper suggest that they may be clones too.

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: Clone Wars 2008 Wave 3
« on: August 13, 2008, 08:23 PM »
I plan on getting all in this wave except for dooku and the IG droid. The droid does not interest me at all and I have a feeling they will probably make another better dooku later on, this one just looks to wierd. Does anyone know if those blaster on the destroyer are removable? If so sign me up for 2 please ;D

Any one want to take a picture of the ATTE beside vehicles such as the BMF and ATAT. I still havent seen one loose and I am wondering what the scale is (numbers dnt help me lol). Although I doubt I will buy this at full price and I patiently waiting for a clearance sale on it. Besdes with how fast the clone wars figures went on sale at TRU i have a feeling they will do the same with the TE to boost sales a bit.

The Vintage Collection / Re: Big Items of the Future!
« on: August 12, 2008, 10:56 PM »
I'm sure with the success of the Falcon and the AT-TE Hasbro is looking at making more large scale items which is great.

For the TPM anniversary, I could see them re-releasing the Queen's Starship...hopefully a bit retooled, but even if they did a straight re-release, I think it would do well.  That was one of the toughest to get items from the Episode 1 line if I recall.

An MTT would also be a good idea, but we'd probably end up with the air taxi.   :D

I wouldnt say it was that rare. My uncle got it for me at an outlet store that buys stuff from the mass retailers that doesnt sell. he got it for me at $60 while just last year I saw it several times at a couple of cons going for no more then $30-40. Im not saying its easy to find now but in terms of what I have been seeing this doesnt fetch much of an after market price. If hasbro does release a big vehicle for the TPM ani I just hope it is something that has not been done before.

Got $40 back from TRU(Canada) due to a price adjustment( they reduced their figures down to %5.97 till saterday)
Was also able to get 1 more anime clone trooper
On the side note TRU had about 20 B-wings on the shelves at $40 a piece. With how neatly they were stacked it makes me wonder if they have even sold any lol.



edit*

My sister just called from buffalo. She was able to pick up a Wave 2 Obi in clone gear for me :) and a Holo GG figure. She also said she is gonna go back to WM tommorow to pick up a 501st clone for me :) no luck on the rebel evo set though.
