Title: Celebration 5 Exclusive Camie & Fixer Comic Pack
Post by: Jeff on November 17, 2009, 10:22 AM
In the latest Q&A @ JTA (http://www.jeditemplewarroom.com/forum/index.php?topic=1928.0), Hasbro has confirmed that the planned Camie & Fixer (SW: Empire - Darklighter) Comic Pack will be coming as a convention exclusive set in 2010.

Since Hasbro has already confirmed a Visionaries Maul/? Comic Pack for SDCC'10 (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=19812.0), where do you guys think this set will land - a second SDCC Comic Pack or will this be a Celebration V* exclusive Comic Pack?  Or maybe a surprise like NYCC or Fan Days in Dallas?

* (assuming of course that LFL gets their act together and actually pulls off C-V next summer  :P)

They could do a second exclusive, maybe shared, like they did at this year's SDCC.  One at HTS and one at ShopStarWars.com or SSW/HTS shared.   Or CV, which would be my guess. 

It's more of a niche pack and probably more desiarable to SW geeks than the Visionaries Maul which might have broader appeal.  I'm just happy to hear we'll get a shot at it. 

Now if they can just figure out a way for me to get the T'ra Saa pack.  Not to mention the currently-shipping stuff that, you know, isn't shipping...

I'll echo E's thoughts on this. Easily a second SDCC exclusive. And yeah, where are those comic packs?

It could be C5, regardless I am happy we are getting it at all. I really want this set and will buy 2-4 of them. I also really want the spring 2010 sets and the Noroghi set as they had some great potential hopefully they will find a way to make it out. These limbo sets would make some great EE exclusives if they are up to it. If Comic Packs became the new norm for convention exclusives I would be very happy. The very nature of them lends itself very well to geeky comic conventions. They would be far better than the mediocre Smiley Luke, Shadow Scout, Shadow Troopers and a Holo Leia.

Sort of. There was a very tiny preview pic (it's the one in the middle on the card back) at Galactic Hunter (http://www.galactichunter.com/photo.asp?image=absolutenm/articlefiles/7932-2.jpg) some months back.

By the look of that tiny picture, it seems that Hasbro originally meant to include these sets early into the run of the red-carded CPs. Honestly, I don't know how Hasbro plans to include these as a convention exclusive and plan for them to do well. ??? Yeah, they might sell, but not many people might buy this.

Waiting to see Camie and Fixer, Tosche Station is almost complete.

Probably Hasbro will release Camie with a soft good skirt, is nearly imposible they depict her legs in one piece like the potf2 line, so is better swivel legs than ball joints.

I am not so sure about that. I will definitely plan on buying 3-4 sets. The plain look of these two will lend themselves perfect for customs Mos Eisley Schmoes. I think a lot of fans will be more receptive to these than a Smiley Luke that no one really wanted and some sort of overdone Shadow Trooper. The whole cut scene old school lore has a nice appeal to it. If it flops and these end up on HST so be it I will just buy more. For whatever strange reason I am excited about this set.

Post by: JediJman on December 3, 2009, 10:32 AM
I'll buy one or two, but not more than that as an exclusive.  It's going to end up being double the price, so not a very appealing set to me anymore if it's $25.   :P

See, for something that obscure and odd, I'd gladly pay 25.00.  But that's me, and I'm a total nutcase for anything 1977 related.

These aren't based off the cut scenes, though. I feel kind of cheated.
Title: Re: ? Convention Exclusive Camie & Fixer Comic Pack
Post by: Jabba the Slug on February 6, 2010, 04:35 AM
This set is obviously coming up as part of CV or SDCC. The Visionaries Darth Maul, too, is obviously coming. This set, though, is dependent on one type of collector: the old school OTC collector. Had it seen retail, it would most likely have failed. And then Hasbro would moan that the CP line was gonna die because the collectors have never been around to support it. Yeah, the collectors never buy Hasbro's products. That's why Hasbro Star Wars has been so succesful for so many years.

Camie comes with a pet, kind of puppy, both figures are meant to fit empire 8 story but they´re also suitable to anh deleted scene.

Nice paint job and sculpt, Camie looks slim and with a decent hairdress depict.

Getting these are a highlight for me.  I've wanted Camie and Fixer for ages, so it's been nice knowing Hasbro's getting them out.  Seeing the picture, they really look sharp too.

I like the attention Hasbro paid to these two with the details.  Camie getting the dog-thing...  Wow.  The first time these were mentioned I was excited, so I can't wait to get this set.  I'll actually get a customizing set or two of these too.  That's a rarity for me with exclusives, but not in this case.
Title: Re: Celebration 5 Exclusive Camie & Fixer Comic Pack
Post by: Darth Broem on February 26, 2010, 02:30 PM
Thakfully they actually look like they do in the cut scenes and not some sort of funky comic coloring.  Then again that is how they look in the comic book to but I think you know what I am getting at.  They are kind of scaring me though with their "very limited" description.  I don't know if they are just saying that so we'll all be frightened into getting it ASAP or not?

They most likely have a small run like 15k similar to the Disney pack. This is one time I do believe them on the run being small. Just look at the EU wave. I defiantly want about 4 of these sets so hopefully it will not be too crazy to get a hold of.

I just hope it's not one of those things were if you can't be there the moment it opens I'm screwed.  Chances are I will probably be at work when this thing comes up.  That's kind of what I'm dreading. 
Title: Re: Celebration 5 Exclusive Camie & Fixer Comic Pack
Post by: Jesse James on February 27, 2010, 12:01 AM
Hasbro was very specific to say that there would be plenty to go around, but that waiting for sales/clearance probably wouldn't be wise.  So I don't think the item will be limited to where you have trouble getting it, but also don't expect to wait a year and get it for half price somewhere either.

I'm not sure if that's a compliment or a judgement.   ;) I do know, however, without checking any kind of wiki, that Declan Mohalland playd the fat Jabba that was cut.

Even if it is 15k, 15k isn't as "limited" as it used to be.  Considering how much work it will be to get this set, a lot of collectors probably won't even be at CV (me, for example) and a lot of the people who go to the Celebrations aren't collectors.  Given the obscurity of the characters, this might actually be not too much of a stretch to track it down shortly after the show.

...failing that, loose figures from eBay via China at six bucks a whack.

I ordered 4 sets (the max) of the Cammie sets from HTS but used the COMIC2010 coupon code and saved $6. I might order more for customs we shall see....

I already have the Vintage BH pack, it's great for those who do not have it yet.

She has a cat because there are no trees or fire hydrants on Tatooine for dogs to pee on, but there is plenty of sand on Tatooine thus an endless supply of kitty litter.

Post by: Jesse James on August 18, 2010, 11:32 PM
Camie and Fixer arrived tonight...  My road work is, i think, mostly done and so the Fed Ex guy came in late...

Very cool figures.  I like that they're not necessarilly aimed at the comic and more at the films.  I'm a little disappointed that Fixer's coat is sculpted to his torso, not separate.  They're both nicely articulated figures though, and Camie's especially detailed.  her hands are very plain, not sculpted aggressively but rather to hold the pet she has.  The Fixer figure is really nice though, I like them equally. 

Having to get them and pay shipping atop the price they cost KIND of bites, but I'm happy just to get them.  If comics keep coming out with good stuff, at relatively good prices, but only online (and thus you eat shipping), I'm happy to see them come out at a trickle.

The elaborate packaging is completely unnecessary to me though.  I'd 100% be happy if they ditched that stuff to save a couple bucks on the set's prices.  It's not like this stuff is really commemorating anything special.  It felt almost goofy with the Maul/Owen set even.

Both Owen/Maul and Camie/Fixer made me wish for Biggs from the comic before he goes away to the Academy, and the "in between" Obi-Wan from the Maul/Owen set that has him looking older but in his ROTS robes.

Got mine (and my bounty hunters) yesterday.  They came in this ridiculously huge box two times too big for what was inside.  Love the figures, though.  For someone with high nostalgia right now for that period of the OT, they're fun.

For me, all that stuff is going into the recycle bin and the two figures are going on a shelf. I believe the packaging is most of the cost.

Post by: Pete_Fett on August 19, 2010, 04:21 PM
I agree - I think the overblown packaging for the Maul/Owen and Cammie/Fixer sets borders on the ridiculous.

I didn't feel that these were over-priced though considering that they were exclusive comic packs as opposed to mass released ones.

I keep a lot of my packaging for the stuff I open and right now the Maul/Owen box is keeping the cardbacks from all of the comic packs I opened during the entire run of that sub-line. I'm gonna use the Cammie/Fixer box to store the comics. I figured that's as good a use as any for the boxes.

Title: Re: Celebration 5 Exclusive Camie & Fixer Comic Pack
Post by: Jesse James on August 19, 2010, 11:06 PM
Oh I agree, they're not badly priced...  But if those boxes inflated them at all I'd love to see that savings in a price reduction. :)  The packages are gorgeous and cool designs though.  Be neat if they were maybe done for more iconic packs of some sort.

Camie and Fixer though?  Or Maul and Owen from Visionaries?  They're really kind of out-of-place in some way. 
Title: Re: Celebration 5 Exclusive Camie & Fixer Comic Pack
Post by: Diddly on August 22, 2010, 02:32 AM
Got my set today, along with the CV Bounty Hunters. I thought the set was priced very fair, considering that retail Comic Packs were only 12 cents cheaper. But I do agree on the packaging. Does it look nice? Oh yeah. But it's completely unnecessary. I mean most people are going to be opening this set, so I really don't get the point. I'll probably keep it around for something (I like Pete's idea of keeping the comics in there) but I would have just rather gotten the set in normal packaging.
