Went to TRU this weekend early in the morning looking for new Skylander figures for my kids, no luck.  I did, however, find the Evazan wave.  Picked up a red bandana Kithaba & Nom Anor.  The best part was that they had the buy one get one 50% off deal.  I think it's the first time in like 6 months that TRU had anything "new." 

I agree that the soft goods on both the ROTS version and the VC version suck.  That's THE major flaw with the VC version, IMO, which prevents it from being a definitive version.  That is why I thought to myself, why even bother amassing an army of the VC version if it isn't that much more superior to the ROTS version.  And like you said, the VC version is a pretty penny. 

Scored an Imperial Navy Commander yesterday morning at Target.  Really surprised to find anything other than TPM figures at Target.  Malgus & Vader were gone, but the rest of the wave was there.

I picked up an Ultra Ewok w/attack glider recently for like $10.  Fits well with all my other ewoks, IMO.

Gotta love the articulation on Lumat...

No Ree Yees love? 

You know, I'm actually pleased with the Star Tours version (which is simply the POTF2 version with newer paint apps).  But yeah, I do have a soft spot for Ree Yees, I just don't like to show it.

Wow, so much has changed and Hasbro actually gave us a fair share of nice resculpts.  On that note, I wouldn't mind seeing them follow suit by giving us resculpts of the following:

ANH
1. Ceremonial Leia (the last one we got was like, what, 1998?)
2. Lars Power Droid
3. Uncle Owen
4. Aunt Beru

ESB
1. Yoda (an OT version is LONG overdue)
2. Leia Bespin Escape

ROTJ
1. Emperor with throne
2. Sim Aloo
3. Mon Mothma
4. Yak Face
5. EV-9D9
6. 8D8
7. Sy Snootles (original)

I still think that it's inexcusable on Hasbro's part to have left Nien Nunb's lower mouth unpainted.  Even the vintage Kenner figure from 1983 was painted!  No excuse.
