The Prequel Trilogy / Re: Clone Wars Information Needed?
« on: June 4, 2007, 09:49 PM »
Thanks Greg,

I was thinking the same thing about Faie and his troops, but as someone pointed out that the Concept of that Faie was never used in books, comics, etc. Maybe within time something will surface more that will answer these questions. 182nd Legion and 442nd Siege Battalion need more of a story for them. As the 442nd only has the Hasbro back story to go on. Plus even with that I don't know if they were at Cato Neimoidia during the first assault or the second were Plo Koon is shot down. This is why I like canon over EU. It's much easier to follow. The unit of Jag will help though.

Thanks for the help

3 - What color scheme was used by the 182nd Legion? This is the first Republic force sent to Feluica, but was wiped out.

If I remember it correctly, the narrator in Battlefront II only refers to the 182nd by name... Were there any cinematic to that at all? While I totally ignore the game's ******** storyline regarding the 102nd, I thought the idea of Acklay's destroying a clone regiment was a neat thought.


Could be the only thing about them was from the game. Also all searches only had that information about them, maybe they were only part of that game.

I was wondering because Barriss Offee was the first deployed to Feluica, and was captured. That is what I have found, but if so the 182nd would fit into that under the command of Offee. Aayla Secura with the 327th Star Corps was sent to rescue her and her Padiwan. Or from the game it was the 501st before the 327th if you believe that. My take on that is that the 501st was only put together from other units towards the end of the Clone Wars for Anakin during ROTS, so they could have never been on Feluica.

Oh okay, that sound like it could be. There is so much here and there about Jedi leading and this and that it's hard to keep track of who was in cammand of what unit etc. This would be like Ki-Adi-Mundi commanding the 21st Nova Corps (Galactic Marines), where I look at that as a branch (like USMC) of service over a battalion or anything smaller. Thanks

The Prequel Trilogy / Clone Wars Information Needed?
« on: June 3, 2007, 03:27 AM »
I have a few questions about Republic forces during the Clone War. Looking for pictures and/or any information.

1 - What is the 191st Engineering Corps insignia look like, led by Commander Faie? Also any pictures of it anywhere as of Faie without hood and such too?

2 - Was Commander Deviss during the Battle of Orlo still part of 327th Star Corps or did he have his own unit? Wondering if they kept the Gold markings, went with the Red of Deviss's armor, or did they have something different?

3 - What color scheme was used by the 182nd Legion? This is the first Republic force sent to Feluica, but was wiped out.

4 - Is there information of Plo Koon leading forces during any ground battle? I want to give him a battalion or something for him to command. Or does anyone know what unit that Captain 'Jag' Jai'Galaar is from? That is the pilot that shot Koon down over Cato Neimoidia. Also a good picture of Jag's helmet would be awesome. I'll I have found is of the front.

Thank you for any help.

That is an interesting take on this. I understand really work military, but I was going on what we know of the Star Wars world of military. As General Kenobi lead 212th Attach Battalion and such. I was wondering if Plo Koon would have lead such a battalion or something like it during the assault on Cato Neimoidia? Hasbro's take on this is the 442nd Siege Battalion, with the backstory of them assaulting Cato Neimoidia, but I was wondering if there is anything said in comics or books that would have more information on this whole picture mainly from the Republic stand point. Thanks for the help though.

I look at it this way; we're lucky to get ahold of such a code to use in the first place. If you think about it, those codes aren't really meant for us, they're meant for friends and family of Hasbro employees, so in a way, we're abusing a privilege that isn't meant for us in the first place. With all the complaining, there is a chance that these coupon codes might cease now.

Well we don't know if they are e-mailed out to customers or not. I haven't seen any proof one way of the other. It doesn't say anything about employee related use only.

Second I could careless if they don't offer any more coupon codes as I'll never buy again from HTS. Plus it will just hurt them in the long run as many only buy on-line when there are coupon like this offered.

Somebody call the whaaaaaaambulance.  ******* crybabies. 

There was a $10.34 difference on two figures shipped.  Unless you're bulk ordering these things it's not that much of an increase.  I understand the position regarding customer service and fault, but c'mon – that point was made five days ago.  How long are you guys going to bitch about a nominal amount of money?

Yeah!  Let's just keep whining and bitching (because we never make mistakes ourselves) until we get through to them and they understand our pain!  I want my $10.34 baaaaaaaaaack.  Whaaaaaaaaa.   :'(

Again, I think most everyone here is with me on this as it is not the money issue, this is about PRINCIPLE! Yes we all make mistakes, but if you were raise right, you don't make others pay for your mistakes. Again PRINCIPLE! As I don't like dealing we people or companies that don't keep there word or can't own up to their mistakes. This is the problem with the world today and will be the down fall of society in time.

Do you or would teach you children to bend over and take it if someone did them wrong? That is what you are asking us to do. Yes, it might only be max $10 to me or you and thousands to Hasbro, but they are going to get that money back one way or the other. All this would be a tax right off for them, and we continue to buy products they mark up a big margin. So they do not loss anything, if they handle this the way they should.

Do you or would you teach them it is okay to lie, cheat, and steal? Well if you do or would teach then not to keep their word you already started them off to the other stuff. I do not offer my money to any one that would lie, cheat, and steal. The government is bad enough that they force you too, but I do not have to take this crap from a company that does these things.

PS: If there is a big enough stink over this maybe Lucas will pull Hasbro's license, giving some other company with values and honest principles the license to make these Star Wars toys we all love.

The Prequel Trilogy / Battalion questions on Cato Neimoidia?
« on: June 1, 2007, 07:41 PM »
I don't know if this has been asked before, but I'm wondering which battalion was during Cato Neimoidia battle? That is where Plo Koon is shot down. Also was there a ground battle fought at Cato Neimoidia? If so, I was wondering if Clone Troopers/Clone Pilots had any certain color pattern or armor to them? Is there any information about this whole part during the Clone Wars? I want to start a new battalion that hasn't been done before. If anyone knows anything was General Plo Koon in charge of this battalion? Thanks for any help on this.

Ok i think Hasbro should have given us free shippingh for their mistake, but i dont see why everyone is so upset. It seems as if the disclaimer was there, we just didnt notice it. Normally i all for us getting stuff cheaper, but there is no reason why it should be less for those of us who did not go to celebration iv.

This isn't about getting the the item cheaper, as least with me. It is about Principle. For one the disclaimer was not posted anywhere in the item discription or posted during checkout. It should have been as well as them making the changes so the code would not work even it you tried. On top of all this they came back after 3-4 days and stated that there was a mistake (theirs), but you (the customer) have to stick it, just in their mumbo jumbo. Great and even good customer service would let this go, and correct the problem the next time. Any other website or store would not put this on the customer as Hasbro is with us. Someone had a good analogy of this with saying:

it's like buying some item and leaving the store and as you are getting in your car the store management stops you and said there is our mistake and you can not have that item for what you have paid.

Everything would be different with me at least, if they would have had everything the way it should have been with the disclaimer posted in item discription & checkout and the code locked out from checkout or at least they should have contacted the customers right away and not after 3-4 days. With the way they are handling this it's all about Principle now.

Maybe they are trying to save face with all the C4 attendees, but I would be more concerned in saving face with customer service as the % of customers that were at C4 are not even close to the % that didn't go. The numbers add up too with 1 bad experience is pass to 10 people which in turn those 10 tell 10 each and so forth. With the web the way it is, I bet you can find somewhere someone posted their unhappy experience with Hasbor about this.

The thing I can't understand is the C4 attendees complaining about the discount that others got on-line. As it was not our fault that we were able to get a better price do to a Hasbro mistake. You wouldn't hear the on-line group complaining if the roll was reversed, just my 2 cents.

This line is hilarious:Offer may expire without notice due to error, fraud or other unforeseen circumstances.
They can make the offer go away whenever it benefits them, but as if you read in there it doesn't say anything about the can go back on this offer once used if it was their error. Only thing they have is this:Offer excludes Star Wars Celebration IV exclusive action figures. But again the offer worked when it shouldn't have and they waited over 4 days to notify me that they made a mistake. How long did they wait to contact you about this BS? I would have different views on this if they would have contacted me right away. Also I wonder if that was put in after all this. Does anyone have the original e-mail they sent stated all this from the "Friends and Family" promotional offer? Frankly they could have changed the offer without us even knowing as this was an offer that was e-mail and then posted on the site. It doesn't take much to change something to cover their ass on a site. Then they can jack you around all they want. This to was an after thought from Hasbro: This item was specifically excluded from the discount program in order to ensure fair and equitable treatment to the consumers who attended the show and paid the full price. Or the offer would have never worked in check out. Plus what about fair and equitable treatment for the one that got screwed on this, because of their mistake?

From Hasbro: dated 5/17/07

1. Shop on www.HasbroToyShop.com and add items to your cart.
2. Enter promo code: FNFSPR7 in the grey box on the payment/shipping page.
3. Click the "Adjust My Price" button to show your savings and then click "Continue" to complete the check out.

25% off and free standard shipping is only valid at the web site toward currently availabe product. Some exclusions apply (such as Star Wars Celebration IV action figures). Discount is pre-tax. Offer expires 5/28/07 at 11:59pm (et). Cannot be combined with other coupons or offers. May not be used to purchase gift cards.

The inability for the IT dept at HTS.com to deactivate the Promo Code option for this/these items, shouldn't be retroactively enforced.

This I see as their fault. If the code works and doesn't apply then it shouldn't have worked for us. It's as if I were to buy anything from say Wal-Mart.com or any other place and then they find out they made a mistake with pricing or promosion they have to eat it. That is good costomer service. Same should apply here as they were not doing their job.

To tell you the truth this is wrong to make the customer pay for this mistake they made. If they don't fix this right with me they can stick they products were the sun don't shine. I don't think I would by another Hasbro product as long as I live. I guess I have been looking for an out from this stuff for a while and they are giving it to me. Hasbro makes so much from all this that they could stick this out if they really cared, but again they could careless about the little guy that keeps them in business. I guess it goes back to all they care about is $$$ and how many can they screw to get it, which is funny for a toy company to do as how many parents want that value stowed upon their kids? I know I don't. I was raised with values were your word is you bond and states the person you are. If you make a mistake you own up to it and you never make someone else pay for your mistake as Hasbro is doing to us. It isn't like they will not get the money some other way. I'm not complaining that I have to pay what everyone else paid at C4. I'm complaining because it's about PRINCIPLE, and their mistake not ours.

Has anyone received an email about this yet? It's only 11 AM Central right now, but I was curious.

Not yet.  The person who reads my reply, if I do get one, probably won't forget it anytime soon.

I wonder the same thing if anyone has been contacted and if so, I as well as other I think would like to see it if possible.
