Mr PL, actually, I didn't even realize that I quoted you.  Guess I just came up with the same words on accident, because I don't remember reading that you wrote that.  Sometimes Wookies tend to miss a couple of sentences in a post as big as yours was.

Ok though, deal.  Sell me a new SAGA red Battle Droid for 2 dollars and you have your money.  I'll even pay for shipping.  

I like Jesse's idea about the Hoth Trench.  It's too bad that Hasbro doesn't incorportate more ideas like that and put in new figures instead of boring rehashes.

 

Yep, this is definitely a fun place, special thanks to OCB for inviting me too.  Great to see you too Jedirhino and Lando, I think we might be seeing ajn38 (Darth Homer) around these parts soon, and possibly Nomadjedi too.

 

Yep, nomad's was a heck of a forum for about a year, but only 5-6 of us were really posting there, and once a couple of us got sidetracked for a while, it really died down.  Now there's only about 1-2 posts a month there.  But I'll always stop by there once in a while.

This does seem like a great forum, not too big, not too small, and everyone seems really cool.  My first name by the way is "Justin", you can call me that or by my screen name "CHEWIE", yep I'm the same CHEWIE from nomad's, yakface, and rebelscum.  And my little  " " at the bottom of each post is just my silly signature.  I have one for every site.

 

Jedirhino!!!  Great to see you here!  Did you see my post at nomad's?

I think you are probably right about the sales, if (or when) they realize this Clone pack is a money maker, more could be on the way.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing them too!  Someday I need to get my act together and get my customs up and get a site of my own going.  I've got over a 100 customs now, and I think a lot of them are good enough to show.  I might be too embarrased to show some of my low quality work though...

 

I've got mixed feelings about these upcoming sets, here's my opinions based on the pics:

Gungan Set - I think this is a lame set and is going to bomb at Target.  The accessories are just horrible, and I don't think too many people will justify paying $10.00 for a Gungan Warrior.  Count me in for just one set.

Gamorrean Guard - this set had so much potential, and Hasbro flubbed it up with the crappy Carbonite block.  Yuck... I'm doing ok on my Gamorrean army, so I will probably only get one of these.

Rebel Technician - This could have been a potential goldmine for Hasbro had they just put the POTJ/SAGA head variants on this figure, and/or had the ability to use the body of the POTJ/SAGA Imperial Officer.  Damn!  I still really like this set though, and want to build a small army of them.  I think I will get about 10 sets of these over time.  I really, really like the accessories that come with it.

 

That's a pretty cool pic!  I like how the Ackly is reared up to pounce!

 

I'll come up with a bigger list soon, but for starters, how about:

- Shmi Skywalker
- Cliegg Lars
- Owen Lars
- Beru Whitesun
