I decided to order, too. NYC doesn't get anything. That said, I'll have 3 CW, EU soldier I don't need.

I thought Sir Paul was off for most of "Hey Jude." As they showed the crowd (usually the Americans), they didn't seem too enthralled to hear a legend. I'm sure their parents would have been more ecstatic than they. Plus, they didn't even seem to know the words. I guess they needed the Spice Girls in order for it to be classic for them.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: TSC Recent Acquisitions
« on: July 29, 2012, 10:50 AM »The DS gunner in the TSC line was one of my favs in both presentation and design. Throwing it, or the Imperial Engineer from the Legacy line, on a Vintage card would have been the cat's ass.

« on: July 24, 2012, 05:02 PM »It's not army builder heavy save for the Republic Trooper... Which kinda blows as I'd like a little squad of him at least, but if they're online only it hardly would make this wave any different than anything else.
If it is indeed an online thing, it might be easier for me to buy a case and get rid of the CW realistic ones and I'll remember you for the Republic Trooper.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Everything eBay! Scams, questions, etc...
« on: July 23, 2012, 12:09 PM »I had a similar experience with a Kube chase - can't remember which one. I recall watching the bids pass my minimum, then was shocked to see the email confirming that I won. I ended up buying it though because it was still a good price.
Yes, but just think: you could have gotten it for an even better price. Of course, it only matters to the buyer whether the price is right or not..

I always thought about this with the Death Star closing down on Yavin. Why didn't George ever fix that? (To suspend the disbelief: the SW universe has a different concept of time.)

Quite frankly, I want all of the 3 remaining dignitaries made.

And I hope they don't make them too much better to make the other guys outdated.
But I don't think I could choose a 1 and done figure. I do want Naboo Meadow Picnic Padme and I think I would be happy never to pick up another prequel figure after that. There are too many OT ones though.

Yeah, there were two versions... one in her red uniform and another in white training gear and unmasked.

The one thing I wish Hasbro would do for the BADs is organize it. Have 4-6 figures from one movie/cartoon/book with the BAD being from that respective source.

Discover the Force / Movie Heroes / Re: TRU 2012 Speederbiker with Scout Trooper
« on: July 17, 2012, 02:38 PM »The Snowspeeder was the last time I was this excited about a new vehicle I think. Whoever all designed and sculpted this, they deserve a pat on the back from collectors.
I agree. They get enough flak from us for distribution and other woes, so it's good that Hasbro gets some positive feedback. I'm actually loving the Battle of Endor love they are giving us this year.
