Saga '02-'04 / Re:THIRD Imperial Officer head variant is a go!

The officer with the tunic is sure to be on the way eventually.  Do you think that Hasbro would pass on the opportunity to make more money from army builders?

Hmmm, iconic scenes from TESB?

-The Spirit of Obi-Wan speaking to Luke on Hoth
-Leia kissing Han goodbye in the Carbon Freeze Chamber
-Vader revealing himself to be Anakin Skywalker to Luke
-Yoda meeting and beating R2-D2 "Mine!  Mine! Mine!"
-Chewie fixing Threepio in the detention cell

And that's really scraping the bottom, IMO.

Saga '02-'04 / Re:New Anakin, Boba Fett and R2 Pics

300th Fett and Jango have that articulation also.  Plus, I figured out what the thing under R2 is...it's a string lanyard.  It holds the string that runs through R2's body (that you can see coming out of the top of his dome).  There's most likely another at the other end of the string for R2's flying action feature.

Never saw it at retail.  Got  2 of mine on the secondary market, and won one from Brians Toys.  Opened one, got one MOMC, and another autographed by David Prowse and Ray Park.

Happy to be here.  I collect 98% modern, and select vintage pieces.

If that was indeed the case, then these pieces would most likely have shipped earlier in 2002.  You recall that the Silver Anniversary pieces all had a seal on them with "1977-2002".  And all three packs were classic scenes from A New Hope.   Hence, 2002 was the Silver Anniversary year for A New Hope.  Not a difficult concept to grasp.

The article might just be making the point of try to pick up the 25th anniversary pieces now.  They won't be around for much longer ( they've gone a clearance some time ago at target and tru).

One little blurb from a writer at Lee's does not equal an upcoming release.  We would have heard something by now for a 2002 release.  As for 2003, it seems unlikely that any kind of anniversary piece would be issued for the 23rd anniversary of the release of The Empire Strikes Back.

Just wanted to stop in and say hello.  I'm Nicklab, and I'm from the NY tri-state area.  I started collecting when A New Hope was released, and got back into the swing of things when The Phantom Menace was released.

I'm an administrator of a collecting site for New Jersey Collectors.  It's the New Jersey Star Wars Collector's Club.  Check out our site, and if you're a local, feel free to sign up: http://www.thejawa.net/njswcc/index.php.

Sounds like editorial speculation from the writer at Lee's.  The 25th anniversary for Empire isn't for another 2 years (2005).  If there is any kind of Anniversary pack coming out, I might think it'd be a ROTJ 20th Anniversary set (1983-2003).

The beardless Endor Trooper has finally started showing up in decent numbers around here.  Nice difference between him and the original.  I share the curious sentiments about how this concept will work with the upcoming Imperial Officer and Rebel Trooper-Tantive IV Defender resculpts.

Episode 1 / Re:R2-B1 & TC-14

I completely missed these at retail.  Never saw them in the first run, and never saw them on clearance.  I heard about them showing up in one store locally, and that was it.
