With the Clone Wars animated line having ended, I am finally getting around to running down some of the realistic-style characters from the original Tartakovsky series. I loved the animated figures for that show but never really got into the more realistic interpretations, although some of them seemed pretty cool.

I finally started building a list this year and between the Legacy Collection BAD line and the TAC line, there's really not all that many to worry about, about 13 total I think?

In the past week or so I have picked up the Quarren Soldier, Mon Calamari Warrior, Snow Bunny Padme and the IG Lancer droid for about $5-$6 or so on average, courtesy of eBay. Not a bad deal to fill in some of these holes.

Got my 18" Gipsy Danger in the mail yesterday. Holy crap. One of the Top 10 toys I have ever bought in my whole life. Six pounds of pure awesome! I love this thing!

Can't wait to see what they have coming up at TF...

Rest in peace, Roy Hinkley.

I think it is a potentially slippery slope when someone starts arbitrarily deciding what IS and ISN'T considered "canon" anymore. There need to be clear lines of demarcation, IMHO. What seems non-contradictory today may not be that way a few years from now. It's an unwieldy burden to manage with all the different media.

You have to start setting boundaries someplace. But even then it's hard. Even if you recognize ONLY the six films, you have to figure out how to reconcile revisionist crap like Geedo shooting first, etc.

I think the whole thing has gotten way out of hand personally, and I welcome the coming cull. That's not to say people still can't enjoy what is already out there floating around, it's just a way for them to open up the narrative for the next batch of films.

lol you beat me!  I was comin here to tell ya!

there is a coupon today for 15% off if you can cancel and reorder:  15FORYOU

Thanks, according to your link though it is unavilable to add to cart now? That was quick!

At any rate, I appreciate the head's up, but I'm not taking any chances, my order was confirmed via email already and I'm very happy with the $105 price tag. I actually took advantage of a recurring Bill Me Later deal to get 6 months with no interest to pay it off which is only available for orders over $99. That made it a lot more palatable.

I looked around last night for info on other upcoming stuff...sounds like the 7" Wave 3 is expected in February. Not sure about that 18" Knifehead though, I think "second quarter" was the estimate BBTS had on their listing.

Bam! Just scored the 18" Gipsy Danger with free shipping off TRU.com! So glad I bookmarked that page when I had a chance. It was actually listed as In Stock this morning so I did not hesitate to pull the trigger this time around.

Now I just hope it arrives in halfway decent shape...I have had same bad shipping experiences with ordering online from them in the past. (Knock on wood, fingers crossed, etc)

I'm glad I waited this out, have not seen the price drop on Amazon or eBay at all to this point...

Dang it, if I have to wait 20+ years for a General Krell, so be it!
