I think it would be better to not release two large vehicles at the same time.

David, do you really think the AT-ST would be considered a large vehicle?  I figure it's more along the AT-TP size.

What you call being a party pooper, I call being a realist.

You know the whole reason I started doing the Q & A Compendium, was that so I could do this sort of thing.

Poop on people's parties?

It's the long piece that's missing, but ironically, part of me does not want to fix it since it's been that way for longer than I can remember.   :D

Sweet looking figure, but very pricey.

I hope so.  The top floor of the Death Star really needs some work.  The gun was broken years ago and so id the mechanism to make it pop off the turret.  There's also some discoloration on the top floor...must have happened while in storage.   :-\

Still, it's going to look pretty cool in my "vintage section".   ;D

Although we may see a new, larger AT-AT.  It will still be horribly underscaled.

Not exactly a new acqusition, but UPS finally delivered all my vintage playsets/vehicles from my parents' house!  The collection includes:

-Death Star Playset
-Land of the Jawas playset (Base and Escape Pod)
-Rebel Command Center Playset Base
-Dagobah Playset
-Turret and Probot Playset
-Droid Factory
-AT-AT
-Snowspeeder
-Landspeeder
-Speeder Bike
-Imperial Cruiser (Imperial Troop transport minus the electronics)
-CAP-2
-MTV-7
-Tauntaun
-AST-5
-Vehicle Maintenance Energizer
-Darth Vader's TIE Fighter

There's also a few old manuals, a sticker sheet for the snowspeeder and a bunch of ESB and ROTJ figure cards.  Most of this isn't in the best of shape (lots of dust from the basement, bad stickers and deteriorated foam), but they should look pretty damn good once cleaned up a bit.  Although well played with, I took very good care of my toys as a kid.

I'll have to have my parents look around for some of the cardboard backs for the Land of the Jawas and Rebel Command Center playsets...they were not with the bulk of my stuff.  There's also the Sears exclusive Cloud City playset somewhere...but that may have been thrown out since it was made out of cardboard.

I never expected the Front Page to be updated daily, but after reading this thread, I was wondering how things like Toy Fair or San Diego Comic Con would be covered in the future...if at all.

Welcome to our merry band of rogues.   :D

What Star Wars items are you focusing you collection on?  Vintage? Modern items? Jedi? Sith? Any specific character?

The Vintage Collection / Re: Willrow Hood
« on: January 6, 2009, 07:31 PM »
Agreed that Willrow should be one per case.  I also expect him to warm, but on the bright side, Yarna was sitting quite a bit but is long gone now following the Christmas rush.  Lots of kids must have got six boobied hideous action figures for gifts. 

I wonder if I could make Willrow the last SW action figure I buy? 

You should come down to Colorado Springs Brent...Yarna is Legacy's Moff Jerjerrod here.

What about the Twilight?  Based on the projected 4 to 5 seasons of the show, its probably going to get a lot of screen time, I could see them releasing one of these.  It'd probably have to be in the $50-$75 price range.  I'd expect a cockpit for 2-4 figures, plus the docking bay at the back, and maybe a speeder that pops out the bottom or something.  I think this would sell a lot better to the kiddies than either the Sandcrawler or Jabba's sailbarge.

I didn't count the Twilight since I was focusing on Legacy vehicles not Clone Wars.  But then the AT-TE is a CLone Wars collection item so my bad on that.

I still don't think you'll see a sailbarge....you cannot compare Jabba's Sail Barge popularity and recognition to the Millenium Falcon's.  Sorry guys.

Nick,

Best Buy has had instruments for a while...I purchased a keyboard from them about 6 years ago...long before Guitar Hero was popular.

I received Rock Band 2 as an early birthday present today since it was a day off.  What a fun game!   :D

I've played drums for years, but it was fun playing the guitar!

I just really don't get Sci-Fi's reasoning behind cancelling this series.  Other than Sanctuary and Eureka they're really not leaving themselves with much.

   E...

I think that's a little more accurate...with 10 weeks of BSG thrown in.  :D
