30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Cloned Out?
« on: May 19, 2007, 01:58 PM »
I think a shift towards Imperial and Rebel army builders would be a good thing at this point.  Hasbro has all but exhausted the ROTS era Clone Troopers, and spacing those out from here might be a good thing.  We all know this, and it's especially obvious if you've ever seen the ROTS Clone family photo that RS put together.  There are also some AOTC Clones that could stand to be done like the Evolutions Clone Trooper.  So here's what I think we should probably get in terms of the more popular army builders:

CLONE TROOPERS - AOTC
Clone Trooper - Evolutions - Clean
Clone Trooper Sergeant - Evolutions repaint
Clone Trooper Lieutenant - 30AC tin re-release
Clone Trooper Captain - Evolutions repaint
Clone Trooper Commander - Evolutions - clean version plus electrobinoculars
Clone Trooper - red Kamino training fatigues - NEW
Clone Trooper - blue Kamino training fatigues - NEW


REBEL ALLIANCE
Fleet Trooper - new sculpt, SA
Rebel Pilot - generic
Rebel hangar crew
Hoth Rebel Trooper
Echo base Rebel Trooper
Rebel Fleet Officer - ROTJ, Madine style uniform
Rebel Endor Commando - SA, similar to Sideshow Endor Rebels


IMPERIALS
Stormtrooper Officer - Imperial Officers with black tunics
Imperial Officer - Grey/olive tunic
Imperial Security Bureau Officer - white tunic, black trousers
Space Stormtrooper - from Falcon's approach to the Death Star
Death Squad Commander - Vintage figure redone
TIE Fighter Pilot - update on the OTC TIE Pilot, SA
TIE Fighter Pilot - Black Squadron with grey helmet markings
Bridge technician - grey jumpsuit & black cap
AT-ST Driver - SA, removable helmet, etc

Even at $6.98 I passed.

Bought a case of the new Vintage figures.

That is actually VERY cool.  I might have to seek out the Canadian versions.

The Bullpen / Marvel Legends

Finally saw Quicksilver in person today.  This is one of the few figures in the current HML wave that I was looking forward to.  It's okay, but it seems to be kind of generic as far as ML figures go.  It was not worth the $12 that the store I was at was charging.

Other Toy Lines / Re: Transformers

I was pretty surprised to find a lot of the movie transformers at a couple of stores today.  Even Optimus Prime!  Sure, that was at a mom & pop store, but this is one of the premiere pieces in the line.  I thought there was a street date in the first week of June?

Managed to do some army building with KayBee's $5.00 per figure sale today.  Scored 3 x Rebel Honor Guards and 2 x Death Star Troopers.

The only attractive figure in this set to me is the Elite Corps Clone Trooper.  And considering the fact that I passed on picking up 4 of them last night I probably won't be picking up this set. 

As for that silver Sandtrooper?  Totally out of place.  What were you thinking Hasbro?

30th Anniversary Collection / SDCC Obi-Wan and Yoda
« on: May 15, 2007, 11:55 AM »
Sounds like the Yoda & Obi-Wan are bound for SDCC.  That's the logical move, since that's the one summer show that Hasbro attends like clockwork.

Wow.  That took a while.

Well that's a letdown.  But I have to wonder if it might have been some kind of a trial balloon to see if the interest was there in the collecting community.

If you think that an antenna for local stations is an expense that you think is out of reach, check out Antennas Direct.

The Bust Ups should be very easy to get at C4.  But for some strange reason they only had 100 sets of the Bust Ups 2-pack up for preorder.  Which is quite bizarre since there was no limited edition size announced for those at all.  But the Yoda & R2 maquette is going to be a little more difficult to get.

That went a lot better than some of the sales that happened before GG redesigned their site.  I got my orders in for all 3 mini-busts plus the bust ups.  But I wish I had known to order the Yoda & R2 maquette first though.  I didn't know that the pre-order numbers on that were limited to 100 pieces.  Oh well.  At least I'll have another shot at those down the road in Baltimore.
