Titanium Series, Action Fleet and Micro Machines / Re: Titanium Series 3.75" Forged Figures
« on: January 12, 2007, 04:11 PM »
We asked about the Titanium 3.75" figures for this week's Q&A, so hopefully that will shed a little light later today...

edit:
And now we've got our answers for today:

Quote
3. What does the future hold for the Titanium Series 3.75" Forged Figure line? It seems like the major retailers are clearing out the figures and ending support for the line, but there are a pile of 10-12 previously announced figures that have yet to be released. Is this line really being cancelled or will it be making a comeback this summer?

**We would love to continue to support the Forged Figure line and we will continue to support the line through Spring of 2007. Unfortunately there was not enough demand for this figure line which has resulted in a lack of retail support for the figures by our retail partners. My advice, buy them now because they will not be around for long.

Sounds like this line is indeed on it's last legs.

Wow, it's finally cold today!

Was $2.03 this morning, now $1.99!!!  :o

This is in the Twin Cities.

Shocked me to see the pumps hit $1.999.  I filled up the other day as soon as I saw it below $2 and then I stopped this AM and topped off again in case it goes back up over the weekend now that the cold is here...  :P

Deanpaul was kind enough to forward some pictures and video he shot of the Nikko R2 units at CES!

Go check them out!   :)

Man, if I had a need for a projector, that R2 unit sure would be tempting...  :)

Oh and I thnk non-Clone weaponry would've been cool too since Hasbro's Officer pistol has made it into the EU as "official" even, and who doesn't want more E-11's really?

Well, you're in luck - it looks like the final production set now comes with E-11s and not the Clone blasters.   :)

Too bad they couldn't change Wulff's pants though...  :-\

The Hall call arrives for Gwynn, Ripken

- I know, I know.  It's a big "no duh" moment as it's not a surprise to anyone that they got in on the first try.  Nice to see that they both got about as close as you can get to a unanimous pick (97.5% or higher for both) for the Hall.

- Again, another non-surprise, Big Mac got less than 25%.   :o

- Goose Gossage got 71.2%, maybe next year will be his year.  :-\

Yeah, it's the same sculpt as the Windu Battle Pack clone, but he looks so much nicer in "Utapau Orange".   :)


clicky for larger image

I'm in for 2007, anyone else?

I'll be keeping track agin in '07.  :)

As far as "large purchases" go, I have to say my largest in 2006 was my Series 7 Master Case Order from Robby.

Sure, I ended up the majority of the cases to the local guys, but there is nothing like getting a call from your Credit Card company asking to validate a $2k charge from Japan.  :P

I ordered a case of Wave 2 from New Force Comics - just $79.94 shipped (works out to $6.66 per figure).

Can't beat that price.  It's basically the same as Target, but shipped right to your door!  ;)

« on: January 8, 2007, 02:51 PM »
Hasbro said a few times that Artoo-Potatoo would see "limited release" due to diminished retailer support, but they never really said what that meant.  I never saw one at retail and ordered mine through HasbroToyShop to be safe.  I guess it's possible that K-Mart asked for it and more were made or something?

As for TRU/Superstore finds, they don't really count because Canada does strange stuff.  You can't get all the basic figure waves, but you can get limited release potato heads?   Crazy Canada... ::)

so far, I haven't seen the #41 mold...but I'm sure it will show up in some form later in the year.

Your selective memory must be trying to block it out...  for sure the #41 will be back in the Saga Legends line:

2007 Saga Legends Clone Trooper (original RotS #41 repack)
2007 Saga Legends Shocktrooper (from Battle Pack, uses the #41 sculpt)
2007 Saga Legends 501st Clone Trooper (new repaint that uses the #41 sculpt)
