RS says the price for the basic figs are $6.99. I hope its a geuss. 

That was the MSRP for the ROTS figures as well. Wal-Mart will most likely force the price down to $5.99 if not lower.

You have to give credit where credit is due and RS does do very nice photospreads for the figures (not to disregard Jared's talent.) The Leia is looking real sharp and will be a most welcome addition.

But, I still think the helmet is too big.

Jesse beat me to the punch as well. It's one thing to shift your focus in an exciting way toward a loved one, be it an opposite number or a child, but another when the other person is giving you an ultimatum. It won't just stop with collecting and it's not accepting who you are (as long as you're reasonable and don't let collecting run your life.)

Over the last two weeks, I've been opening up some of my boxed stuff, and it is pretty fun. I stiff have to find display space though.

It looks like a reader has reported to RS that the "12 pack" is actually just a case/box with 3 of the Twins sets, and an assortment of 6 other ROTS figures, possibly in a stand up retail display box.  So it doesn't sound like it actually is a "multi pack" as was earlier suggested/reported.

This would make the most sense. I find it very hard to believe that anyone can get a product on the shelves before we found out about it.

I picked up the 1933 King Kong yesterday and couldn't wait to watch it. I  think it's the first time I've seen it in more than twenty years.

Was also tempted to pick up the original War of the Worlds, but I have to let my familiy pick up something they know I want for christmas.

Be careful as there are reseals and fraud artists out there, learn what to watch for.

That's the stuff that scares me.  But I don't plan on doing any bidding/buying for a while until I've educated myself a little more.  Nothing would suck more than to win my first vintage auction only to get it home and realize it wasn't what I was expecting.

Yeah, that scares me too, and I hate to be prejudice, but it seems a lot come out of the UK, so I tend to not even look at those auctions on ebay.

Thanks for posting the pictures! I hope Sideshow makes one at least half as good as this one.

My brother and I divied up or toys when we got older. I got Star Wars, the Black Hole, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica and Micronauts. He got Gi-Joe, Transformers and a few straglers like MASK.

This year, I happented to pick a new piece or two from each line I kept, mostly aquired via Star Wars lots though.
