The Original Trilogy / Re: Classic Trilogy "Ultimate Edition" In The Works?
« on: December 30, 2003, 11:33 AM »
Jar Jar Binks in my opinion is the best New Trilogy Character alongside Qui-Gon. Out of the new Trilogy I do not like the character of Jango Fett.

There is truth to the Original SE Trilogy getting some updated material. At C2 I was talking with some guys from ILM and they told me back than that they were already making some visual updates to the original films. They said there were some things that would help tie up all six movies, visual enhancements such as computer dispalys, ect. From what I have been told and from now what I have been hearing that this updated version of the Original Trilogy is George Lucas's last attempt to get the film finished the way it was susposed to be.

I do not think that there will be major changes to the films, just minor things to make all of the films look consistant.

Take this with a grain of salt but from what I have been told the SE Trilogy comes out on DVD in 2004, E3 in 2005 (DVD probably by Christmas), and a Star Wars Saga Gift Set in 2006/2007.

I do not think that the changes will be as drastic as the SE changes. But there are changes being made. What they exactly are nobody can say except the artists at ILM.

We will just have to wait and see.

Toy Reviews / R1-G4 - Tatooine Transaction
« on: December 30, 2003, 11:06 AM »
Picked this figure up at Wal-Mart.

Accessories = None

Detail / Sculpt = Nicely done by Hasbro. The weathering looks great.
This figure is fairly big for a Star Wars figure. Lots of detail for such a minor character.

Articulation = two small grabber arms move in and out of the front. I was disapointed that the head of this droid does not turn. It is mainly a large piece of solid plastic that looks good.

Over All = I really like this figure for what it is. Due to the lack of articulation and an accessory I will have to give this really nice looking droid a A

Picked this figure up at Wal-Mart.

Accessories = Stand, Drink Tray, Drink Dispenser Arm.

Detail / Sculpt = Nice little R2 with removable Drink Dispenser items so he can be a normal R2-D2.

Articulation = It is R2 with the middle leg, turning head, feet, ect.

Over All = A nicely done R2-D2. I give this figure a A+

I ordered some figs from them. Then I received an e-mail about a week later saying that they were out of the figures I ordered so they refunded my money to my paypal account.

Saga '02-'04 / Target = Marked Down Prices
« on: December 24, 2003, 09:35 AM »
I just got back from four different Target stores this morning here in Indy.
They have marked down the Star Wars toys. *Not all have the same items marked down but I believe in time they all will.

Action Figures = $3.35 each including the Ani-Clone Wars

Multipacks = $6.35 each

Ultra Deluxe Figures = $7.35 each

Screen Scenes = $9.35 each

Vehicles *Not including Anakin's Starfighter = $9.35 each
Anakin's Starfighter is $21.97

Generic Lightsaber = $3.35 each

Electronic Lightsabers = $9.35 each


When I went out today I was hoping to find the Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, and R4 figs since they are poping up at Target Stores. My search was a failure. I hope after the Holiday they will be out on the pegs with the mark down prices.

Keep your eyes open at Target for these great prices on Star Wars toys.
Happy Hunting!

Celebration III: Indianapolis / Celebration 3 is heating up.
« on: December 19, 2003, 09:26 AM »
The Force.net and Rebelscum seem to already be talking about Celebration 3. So far the talk is that C3 will once again be held in Indianapolis, IN (where I am currently living, probably not by the time C3 is in town) near the end of April 2005.

If this talk is all true and on target it is great news. I hear the next Star Wars Insider will officially announce the mentioned C3 news.

I guess it is time to start getting things together here on my side and contact my contacts to helpout once again at C3.

So what are your thoughts on C3 once again being held in Indy?

Just got back from the 11am showing. It is a wonderful movie. Many things are cut from the book but I hear they are put back in for the extended DVD, over an hour of footage. :)

I recomend this movie. The Trilogy is now complete. Can't wait to see how Peter Jackson translates "The Hobbit" after he finishes the remake of "King Kong."

« on: December 16, 2003, 09:50 PM »
It is funny. I was talking to a buddy of mine just the other day about this item. I said I bet Hasbro would do something like take an X-Wing Luke and put on the Y-Wing pilot head or something. If this image is true... man.

I hope at least this X-Wing comes with an R5-unit.

Toy Reviews / 12" Garindan
« on: December 16, 2003, 08:15 PM »
They other day I was lucky to score the new 12" Garindan doll.

Face Sculpt = A+
I really like this character. Under the cape and hood the head sculpt is wrapped in what looks like a baggy leather pullover fetish mask with ties at the top and the long snoot sewed in. On top of that is the eye protection. Lots of detail went into this thing.
*The head is all sculpted.

Outfit = A
The outfit is all black. A nice coat / shirt type top and pants with the common black boots. Sculpted gloved hands and he also has the common Imperial Officer Belt. Then on top of it all is the hooded cape.

Accessories = B
All that he comes with is the Gernade looking Imperial Comlink.

Overall Grade = A+
I have to say that this is one of the very best of the 12" dolls that have been made in the past few years. I really like how the details in this type of doll is becoming top priority.
Out of the three in this wave: Garindan, Obi-Wan, and Jawa 2-pack Garindan is worth picking up.
I have not seen the Jawa 2-pack yet. The Obi-Wan is Obi-Wan maybe with a new head sculpt. I am not sure though. I did not have a previous Obi-Wan to look at when I was at the store.

Anyways, I think people will be happy with this doll.
I will probably pick up the Jawa 2-pack when I see it but not Obi-Wan.

« on: December 16, 2003, 08:03 PM »
Anyone still looking for the 12" Biker Scout or any other doll from this wave? Tonight I picked up the Ewok 2-pack for Stan.
My TRU has just stocked many from this wave: Yoda, Biker Scout, Luke, and the other day I picked up the new Garindan.

Let me know if you need any help. I will be more than happy to help you out.

You can PM or E-Mail Me.
