They won't be worth anything unless you get them graded by the AFA Jeff.

Thanks for ruin[er]ing my dreams...  :'(

Oh well, on to the next morey making scheme.   :D

I'm going to hoard all the 2007 UGH figures I can!!  I'm going to put them all in Star Cases and then put them into storage!!

Then, in 15 years I'll sell them off and use the HUGE sums of cash I'll get to put my kids through college!! 

After all, take a look at the ridiculously high prices the 2006 UGHs are fetching on eBay!  Nearly $7 each with shipping!!   :o

Hey Hasbro! / Re: Lars Family Battle Pack
« on: February 21, 2007, 04:58 PM »
Maybe not a Battle Pack, but it would make a nice 7-Pack like the exclusive Bounty Hunters, Commandos, or DS Officer sets we've seen...

Lars Family Moisture Farm:
 - Cliegg Lars (AotC)
 - Owen Lars (AotC)
 - Beru Whitesun (AotC)
 - Anakin Skywalker (Evolutions Ep2)
 - Padme (Lars' Homestead version)
 - C-3PO (AotC repaint)
 - R2-D2 (RotS preview droid repaint)

3 new figures (Owen, Beru, Cliegg), 2 repacks (Anakin, Padme), and 2 repaints (3PO, R2).  A nice blend of brand new, kind of new, and old figures.

Most retail buyers would not.

Nor would most care... exccept maybe Target - they seem to really have a thing for RotS Clones.   :P

The Vintage Collection / Re: Target DPCI #s
« on: February 20, 2007, 05:14 PM »
Very good news!  What target did you try this at?  The Knollwood store always has higher prices on the basic figs - I'm curious to try the DPCIs there and see if they're the same...  :-\

The #s were tried at two different Targets in MN, Oakdale and North Saint Paul (I'm an East-sider  ;)),

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: BREAKING NEWS: Britney Spears not a virgin!!
« on: February 20, 2007, 04:24 PM »
So with the loss of Anna Nicole and the crazy hi-jinks of the weekend, is Britney now officially the new national train-wreck?

I bet her first move after rehab is to marry an 85yr old man and then relocate to the Bahamas...  :-X

Yeah, Mace was shown at Toy Fair:



And yeah, like Nick said, all the info I've heard says he will show up as StarWarsShop exclusive...

I'll definitely grab this set.

I like that the RFTs have different heads.  Even though he "sucks", it's still nice to have a bit more variety in the RFT corps on my shelf.   :P

I like the Stormies too, very happy that Hasbro got that fix in on time - the dirty ones would have sucked hard.   >:(

I went to TRU yesterday over lunch and all I found were a TON of empty pegs and a store full of whiny kids (Thanks Presidents Day  ::)).

About all they had were some tins (Ep 4,5,6), a few vehicles (2x Vader TIE, 1x Obi-Wan JSF), and a bunch of mini-unleashed junk.  Ah well, at least I tried to find a deal...  :-\

Logan:


Liam:


Uploaded these for another post, but I thought I'd share with everyone here...


Man, these last few months have been crazy.  :D

The dudes are doing extremely well.  We've moved into the "eating baby foods" phase and have even dipped into "people food" a time or two (a french fry here, a spoon of ice cream there).  No crawling yet, but that's OK as I am not too anxious for both of them to be mobile just yet.  Hard enough taking care of them both at the same time without them moving around on their own...  :P

I still can't believe it's been 7.5 months.  Time has just whipped by - Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's.  Just crazy how far they have come - looking at my two 20 lb boys, I have a hard time remembering that these are the same guys as the premie 6 lb babies I brought home from the Hospital all swaddled up in blankets.

Are they identical? 

Nope, not identical...

Logan (the Older Brother):


Liam (the Younger Brother... just by a minute though):



And, they are quite a handful... but I'm sure you've had a lot of the same with your twins.   :)

What else...I live in the Twin Cities, Minnesota and am a relatively new father of Twins!  (my very own Luke and Leia I suppose ;D)  Looking forward to scoping out the site and getting to know some of you. 

Welcome!  Hope you enjoy your stay!


You aren't the only Minnesota guy who just had twins. Our fearless leader Jeff (who's also a mod on here so you'll see him on here a lot) just had twin boys last year (July?).


Yes, 'tis true.  I am a fellow Minnesotan who is also a relatively new father of twins.   :o 

My twins (2 boys) are 7.5 months old, born last summer (July).  We'll have to share "twins war stories" if you can make it out to one of our MN group meetings.     :)

 If you have questions, just let someone know and we'll do our best to point ya in the right direction!

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Waves 5-9
« on: February 20, 2007, 09:57 AM »
I'm sure Hermie Odle, 3PO and MacQuarrie Vader are part of wave 4

Yeah, when I updated the JD basic figure list yesterday (using info I got from a differnt source than R2-Dtoys), that source had them in the Jabba Wave 4.


I'm sure there's a few more surprises in store for us with waves 5, 6 and 7 since they seem incomplete.

I don't know about that... Hasbro keeps saying that there will be 60 basic figures/coins and that is how many we've seen so far.

1 figure  -  Preview Vader with Coin Folder
8 figures - Wave 1: ROTS
6 figures - Wave 2: ANH, Yavin
8 figures - Wave 3: ANH, Tatooine
7 figures - Wave 4: RotJ, Jabba's
7 figures - Wave 5: EU
5 figures - Wave 6: ESB
5 figures - Wave 7: RotJ, Endor
6 figures - Wave 8: AotC
7 figures - Wave 9: Force Unleashed

Add them up and you get to 60 figures even... yeah, the later waves seem light, but I would guess that is to accomodate re-shipping the earlier wave figures in the same case.

« on: February 19, 2007, 04:21 PM »
didn't Hasbro in one of the Q and A's mention that we'd be getting a new Qui-Gon Jinn this year? 

Yeah... in one of the Q&A sessions (with Yakface in September, I think) they said we'd get a super-articulated Qui-Gon sometime in 2007.

No sign of him in the basic figure line that I can see... there's not even a TPM wave in 2007 (2x ANH, 1x ESB, 2x Jedi, 1x AotC, 1x RotS, 1x EU, 1x FU).  I guess he either slipped to 2008 or there must still be a few surprises in store for us...
