30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 2007 SDCC Exclusive R2-KT

« on: May 25, 2007, 10:21 PM »

I will gladly pick up two. I love Astromechs and I love the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

I guess I'll use ot for an Ep1 "handmaiden droid" or something...

NFC said that Hasbro has shipped their order to them!

Good to hear! Saves me a trip (or ten) to Target looking for them.

you know there is 5 right? when you add in the titanium multipack $:-\$ .
Can I add that one in since the thread title was 'exclusives' and not 'figure exclusives'??

I guess I wasn't counting that Titanium set because I thought it was a Battlestar Galactica 3-pack, not Star Wars... plus the thread is in the figures section of the forum, so I was only thinking figures in my post.

Your point is true though, there are even more than 5 if you count all the non-Star Wars stuff from Hasbro - BSG titaniums, GI Joe, etc.

And wasn't there supposed to be a McQuarrie Rebel trooper?

Quote from: Mikey D on May 24, 2007, 04:32 PM

I assume you mean a McQuarrie designed RT? I thought so too, Mike. But since there's 12 scheduled McQuarrie coming and we've seen all 12, most likely we misinterpreted and what we assumed was a McQuarrie designed figure is actually the McQuarrie figure himself.

Still one wave out there for late '07 (The AOTC Wave) which I believe is where that figure is slotted

That is correct, there is still one rumored wave left for 2007 and that is where the Concept Rebel Trooper is -

Wave 9 - Attack of the Clones
Clone Trooper
Padme Amidala (Theed Dinner)
Jango Fett with Poncho
Voolvif Monn
Destroyer Droid with Shield
Concept Rebel Soldier

We know it is coming because Hasbro has confirmed a few of the figurs via the Q&A sessions (Droideka, Jango).

Jeff's list from the Obi/Yoda thread:

Guess it needs to be updated now that C-IV has shed some more light...

#1 - Stormtrooper (30AC Wave 1 - RotS)
#2 - Boba Fett (30AC Wave 2 - Yavin)
#3 - Chewbacca (30AC Wave 3 - Tatooine)
#4 - Darth Vader (30AC Wave 4 - Jabba's)
#5 - Starkiller Hero (30AC Wave 5 - EU)
#6 - Snowtrooper (30AC Wave 6 - ESB)
#7 - Han Solo (30AC Wave 7 - Endor)
#8 - "Rebel Trooper" (rumored for 30AC Wave 9 - AotC)
#9 - C-3PO & R2-D2 (Celebration IV Store)
#10 - Luke Skywalker (HasbroToyShop @ C-IV)
#11 - Obi-Wan Kenobi & Yoda 2-Pack (HasbroToyShop @ SDCC07)
#12 - ?

#12 is a toss up - some people say Grievous is #12, some people say Hoth General McQuarrie is #12, some people say it's another exclusive headed our way this summer... only time will tell I guess. Might be a nice question for someone to toss up at the Q&A tomorrow.

I'd go with Warok and Romba as well (but it could be Lumat)

I concur - neither of those Ewoks shown at C-IV look like Wompus (no green hood, no "rock-on-stick" weapon). The Quest for Wompus continues I guess.

Still though, very cool to get two new Ewoks.

3 friggin' exclusives though?

I think the count is up to four based on what is being shown at C-IV...

Shadow Scout with Speeder Bike (?)
501st Legion R2-KT (?)
Concept Grievous (SWShop On-Line Exclusive)
Concept Obi-Wan and Yoda 2-Pack (HasbroToyShop Exclusive)

4 exclusives? Can you say OVERKILL?

Oooh... it's Baron Fel and Derek "Hobbie" Klivian.

I know some were hoping for Wedge, but I'm thrilled to get another Rogue pilot!

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 30AC Wave 8 - Repaint Replacement Wave

« on: May 24, 2007, 02:15 PM »

The early C-IV pics seem to indicate that the Rebel Vanguard really is just a straight repaint of the black Saga06 Endor Trooper mold with the RFT Helmet and Vest slapped on him.

Ick... no improvement there. I was hoping we'd get some new weapons at least, but it doesn't look like it. $:-\$

I'm still digging R2-B1 though. I'd love those little droids, especially with that sculpt.

My hope is that the R2 is made of the R4-G9 mold

Unfortunately, the figure they have on display sure looks like the VOTC sculpt (judging by that removable panel once again). Also looks like some leafy green paint ops on the feet. $:-\$

30th Anniversary Collection / 30AC Wave 7 - Battle of Endor

« on: May 24, 2007, 01:53 PM »

No thread for this one yet? Hmmm...

From the front page:

"Wave 7 also makes an appearance and Endor fanatics should love this. A new A-Wing Pilot (Tycho Celchu) w/removable helmet, an Ewok 2-pack (a dark grey-black Ewok and a lighter brown Ewok, both warriors in the new smaller sculpting style), R2-D2 (Endor Feast) with a net and spit for your new Ewoks to carry him on, Spirit of Anakin Skywalker (with Hayden Christansen's likeness), and Conceptual Art Han Solo (with removable headgear)!"

Endor Feast R2 with net and spit = cool beans. Great piece to complement the Endor 3PO from last year.

Man, I hope one of those Ewoks is Wompus!
