BY the way, with the "gape" in his stance...he can actually ride  a Taun Taun very nicely...I'll post pics tomorrow.  If I can find my speeder bikes, I'll post those too Jesse..

2 Krogers within 15 minutes of the house...I think we need Eggs.....or Milk.....I'll post here if it was successful.



***UPDATE*****

Kroger here didn't have a thing.

I got mine after what can only be described as a hell-ish experience.

I do have a theory on the figures.  I think the relaunch will be the original line...IN order of their release, but with new (hopefully VOTC-esque) sculpts.  I know it won't happen, but that is my wish.  The art for the Death Star Trooper makes me want to break out my vintage ones and have them take on all the New stuff.

I also ordered a couple online just to make up for the few I couldn't find for buddies.  I plan to use the packing receipt for them, but I also have printed my e-receipt/confirmation as well.  I am sure they are aware of Online Sales and will have a way for this to work...

ah the intricacies of the Imperial Navy Uniform.

My 3 color's I was contemplating were all in Tunic Form.  Gray, Green and Black.

We've definately seen the Black Tunic (DS Detention Block) the Gray/Green debate is where #2 and #3 come in.  I am going to look for the photo of the guy behind a control panel who looks VERY Green (albiet Olive) but not the ambiguous Feldgrau of the German WWII Tunics (I've seen originals that ranged from Slate Gray to Sage Green to even Brown due to the low quality/late war materials).

I always assumed the higher ranks in the Imperial Army kind of had that "Liberty" with their uniforms that Rank has had in it various Military figures in History (Custer, Pieper, Monty, Any Southern Officer of the ACW, Any General of a South American Banana Republic, Patton, Bradley).  Most German Generals wore the Riding Boots as a sign that they were "Old Guard"...

I'd just like to have enough on screen evidence to justify the big H making us variations.

I didn't even count the Jump Suit with Helmet Combo from ROTJ cuz I didn't even notice it.  I just assumed they were just like the regular DST.

So for argument sake the variations seen include:

With Helmet:

Black Tunic, Jodphurs and Riding Boots
Black Tunic, Baggie Pants Jack Boots (or am I just making that up in my mind?)
Gray/Green Tunic, Jodphurs and Riding Boots
Black Jump Suit and Jack Boots

I would tend to agree with your supposition that the Gray tuniced DST is of the officer class (regardless of missing rank tabs).   I'll have to watch the movies over the next few days (like I needed an excuse) and see what I can pick out.


As far as those that we see armed, it does appear that most have the Rebel Fleet trooper type Blaster Pistol as oppossed to the Stormtrooper Blaster (E-11).

I guess I need to actually use that Hyperspace account I have and check these things out...I thought it was all about EPIII stuff.

Where in Photoreceptor do I go? 

Since the Prequels pretty much have shut me out of OT figures, I will probably pick up a Tarkin, Bail Organa, Captain Antilles and possibly some Alien Senators.

The Mon Calamari would make a good Mon Remonda Crewman....

I'm at best a neophyte to customizing (I am the proverbial NOOB who can't even manage a boil and pop head swap).  BUt I have decided with a lack of stuff out to spend money on, I'd start up customizing and ACUTUALLY FINISH  a custom.  I will post it here...maybe even do the whole WIP thing....my first lofty goal is to take a Micro-man and cover him with parts of Saga Snowtrooper but I have to baby step my way there....

I was thinking the same thing....but I thought it would be very audacious to reply to myself...

Oh and I need to add Leia Boushh to the ROTJ major Character List....
