So obviously this thing isn't a comic-con exclusive anymore right?

In the photos at SWShop.com,. it still has the SDCC logo on it so the assumption is that it's still a go for this year's con.

I think that is why the shipping date is August (after the con is over).

I didn't play last year but what was wrong with default settings?

You can blame that on me.  The default settings (like % instead of pts) were being used in the "other" JD league (which was full when I created my league), so I changed things up so my league would be different from the other one.

Then, the other league folded and well, we had the settings we have here because nobody asked me to change them until after the draft.


Well, those [default] categories were used in the original (now defunct league) started by Dressel.  When I created my league, the other one was still in existance. 

I thought I would change the settings a bit to differentiate the two leagues so they weren't just carbon copies of each other.   Hence, the switch to points made (not %) and the split between O-Reb and D-Reb. 

When the first league folded, leaving this league the only league, my settings (points made) were never changed to match Dressel's (%).

I can assure you that I have not monkeyed with the settings since the original post. 

One of these years we will have to learn to have everyone actually read the rules before the draft so this stuff doesn't always pop up.   :-X   :P

Did y'all catch this disturbing tidbit:

First in a potential new series of Expanded Universe action figures

Groan. :-\


I think they put that in there to attract the same people who buy up the Issue #1 of a new Comic Book series - you know, the people who think the "first one" of a line will be worth more.  After all, they had this line in the SWShop "Covert Ops Clone Trooper" pre-order:

"Debuts a new line of troopers being released by Hasbro in the coming months"

And I don't think that one went anywhere since it's 8 months later and there hasn't been another word about it...  :P

Awesome! 

All the hard work, blood, sweat, and tears I have poured into this contest will get me something at least...

Thanks for the head's up, Jay.

"This StarWarsShop exclusive figure includes a chrome-plated figure stand and StarWarsShop.com-branded star case. Limited quantities available. Limit of 5 figures per customer"

I just put in my order for 5 of them.   :)

Yeah, but I think that is because we are so used to see him with his mouth open.  Pretty much every other Bossk they have ever made (Unleashed, Kubrick, Hasbro figures, etc) shows off some teeth.

I think the mouth just looks strange without the teeth.  Reminds me of the vintage Bossk head...

I would guess next month might be one of the runners up from last vote:

Someone make a mental note for future topics - Imperials, Vong, Vehicles...

Or, maybe something completely different!   ;)

I think that's a case of bad, bad, figure posing. 

He looks much better if you put him in the pose he was supposed to be in...

I just wish these exclusives didn't cost so friggin' much.   >:(

I mean, no matter if I grab them from SWShop or a member here who is nice enough to offer extras to the rest of us, the cost is crazy!

$30 - 2x 2006 SDCC SWShop Exclusive Shadow Stormtroopers (loose and carded)
$30 - 2x 2006 SDCC Hasbro Exclusive 501st Stormtrooper (loose and carded)
~$10 - Shipping

I'm looking at $70 for four exclusive figures!   ::)

So, if this is true then there will be an exclusive at the Hasbro booth (this one) and then another at the SWShop booth (Shadow Stormtrooper)?  That seems strange...

So, last year, I finished in the bottom 25% (I think I was 9/10 or maybe even last, I managed to block it out). 

This year, I'm sitting at #9 (of 12), which keeps me out of the bottom 25%.

I guess I'll consider this year a "success" because I wasn't quite as crappy as last year!   :)

I also had luck with a Target red-shirt today.  He looked up the DPCI for the exclusives and brought out 1 each of the Demise of Grievous and Skirmish in the Senate

He said since they had a "street date" of 4/30 he could only bring out 1 of each, but 1 of each is better than zero of each.   ;)
