The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: Clone Wars or The Force Unleashed?
« on: January 4, 2008, 01:37 AM »
From a collecting standpoint I'm looking forward to both equally.  I think that's just part of my completist nature.

As for the media associated with those projects?  I would have to say Clone Wars.  And that's entirely based on the television series.  I'm excited about everything I've seen regarding The Force Unleashed, but as I don't own a PS3 or X-Box 360 I'm at a disadvantage because I won't be able to play the game.  If either of those gaming consoles should come down in price again, my stance on TFU might change.

Good to know the price is still at that point.  But a lot can happen between now and the launch of the Clone Wars line.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Target TFU Battle Rancor

Rancors also showed up on Rakata in the Knights Of The Old Republic game.  However I don't think they were indigenous to that planet either.

But regarding the Felucians, I found this image of one at Wookieepedia:

The Mygeeto BP is obvious who is in it. Ki-Adi-Mundi, Bacara, 2 Galactic Marines.

Do we really need more Galactic Marines already?

Well, if it has a softgoods kama like the upcoming Commander Keller or the VTAC Snowtrooper figures, I'd be in for this set.  Because the current kama on the Galactic Marine severely impacts the figure's posability.  Just do a side-by-side of the VTAC Snowtrooper with the Galactic Marine.  It's really a no-brainer move.

Hmmm.  The Hoth set is certainly intriguing.  Especially if Hasbro decides to use the artwork from The Incredible Cross Sections as the basis for the troopers in that set.  But what kind of value would we get for this price point?  In a best case scenario, I would hope for 2 speeder bikes with riders and a VTAC Snowtrooper in this particular pack.

As for the Mygeeto set?  I'm fairly confident that we would get Ki-Adi Mundi in this set along with some Galactic Marines.  But the question marks for me are 2 possible figures for this set:  Commander Bacara and the Tri-Droid or Octuptarra Droid.

Commander Bacara is in SERIOUS need of resculpting.  It was a sub-par figure in 2005, and every other Clone Commander with that helmet that Hasbro has shipped has been equally sub-par.  I would very much like to see the SA Clone or Evolutions Clone retooled into a new Commander Bacara.  Doing that for this battle pack would be an excellent selling point with a collector base that's become rather smart and equally critical on articulation and sculpting.

As for the Tri-Droid or Octuptarra Droid?  It would be a logical inclusion in a Mygeeto battle pack, especially to depict this particular battle.  We don't see that many other droids in our brief glimpse into that battle.  But does Hasbro include a new figure like the Tri-Droid in this battle pack, and potentially impact sales of the basic figure?  I think that's another interesting question.

There's been a lot of confusion regarding Shaak Ti.  Especially since the deleted scene from The Invisible Hand in the REVENGE OF THE SITH DVD shows Grievous killing her.  Since that scene was cut it isn't considered to be part of the canon.

Then there's her possible death scene in the Jedi Temple.  I've seen a still of that, with Anakin entering her chambers while she's seated, and he's preparing to kill her.  That didn't make the DVD.  But I think it might have made it into the novelization of REVENGE OF THE SITH, however I will have to check on that.  But I know for certain that she was in the Jedi Temple at the time of Order 66 in the novelization.   

Also, you can see Shaak Ti in the Council chambers in the movie.  However, it's only as a hologram as Yoda meets with the High Council from Kashyyyk.

Was the last Dengar really that bad?

I think it's pretty top-notch.

Agreed.  The one bounty hunter from the Executor scene that really needs revision is Zuckuss.  We've only had the vintage figure from back in the day and the POTF2 figure.  That one is woefully inadequate when lined up with the modern bounty hunters.

Really?  That runs counter to the info that was pulled from the Target computer system.  Although I haven't tried running that DCPI at a store yet.

Shaak Ti is listed as one of the characters on the game's website.

The Legacy Collection / Re: New Evolution Sets

Saw two of the reissue sets tonight.  It was the Sith set and the Clone to Stormtrooper set.  And those were all the grey variants.  Strange.

I was really impressed with my Obi-Wan when I got around to opening it a couple of days ago.  I don't think I've ever seen as good of a likeness of Alec Guiness.  I just wish I could display it!  As it is I have to wait another year until I get moved and am able to get my collecting room up and fully displayed.

Question for others who have bought this set:  was there any kind of a packet with the antennae for the 2 Clone Troopers?  I wasn't able to find them in my ARC-170 Battle Pack.

If you have yet to buy this book but you've been deterred by the price, then you may be in luck!  I found the Vault today at a Barnes & Noble store for 50% off.  That's a lot of money when the book sells for $85!  Plus if you have a member rewards card at B&N, you get another 10% off.  I didn't have that and the book cost me about $46.
