Celebration IV: Los Angeles / Re: Official C4 non-attendees beg for exclusive thread

« on: May 26, 2007, 04:12 AM »

I'd like to get Luke & the Droids. A member is possibly getting Luke for me...we'll see. I'd also love some of the coins they're handing out; the 30th one and the vintage style ones!

I went all the way to Denver and Indy for the first two Celebrations....I can't believe this one's right in my backyard, and I'm not going. And it's the 30th. God...

Anyway, have fun!

Weird how that works, huh? I somehow missed Denver (I live in Denver for those who don't know that) but made it to C3 in Indy and am here in LA for CIV.

I have no one to blame but myself. I skipped CIII because I was pissed about the original OT not getting a DVD release and the doubling of the fan club price. After souring on it, I never really worked up enough interest to save money and plan to go to this one. Of course I knew I'd regret it this time....

Nikto! Klaatu! Bararda!

We need an updated Walrusman bad! Basic or "Vintage", I want a Ponda Baba that's as amazing as Bossk! (Not to mention a decent Evazan...)

None of this really surprises me, I've heard from retail workers countless times that "the line has been discontinued" rather than them actually getting me my **** from the stockroom or at least checking for it.

You know, I think I've actually heard that garbage once or twice. At very least retail employees have said something to the effect that they don't think they're going to carry Star Wars stuff anymore. What a joke.

I tried yesterday with the DCPI and after several minutes "conferring" in the back, he politely told me that "Lucasarts" won't allow them to be sold until the 27th. Really? I had no idea a video game developer had any say over selling of Hasbro toys

Funny, but somehow I didn't even see your reply there, D., and was just re-editing my prior post to point exactly that out. I do need an opener for nothing more than the damned coin. Phhtth.

So don't sweat doing that comparison after all, but thanks for the offer (and reply).

I sure wish I'd gotten the thing on clearance for two bucks. ******' ****** repacks. I should keep the album and return the figure for my $10 since it has the UPC on it. LOL

I opened my Vader to pillage the coin. I'll dig out my ROTS Vader tomorrow and make a close comparison and let you know. You might have to shoot me a PM to remind me to do it!

On another note, I mailed away my pops Saturday. Did I miss it? When were we supposed to get the coins mailed to us? Anyone know?

DS

6-8 weeks from receipt of your order.

That's what it says on the order form.

Any army builders have an extra POP? I'm not getting the Snowtrooper, but I'd like the coin set.

I was just curious, when are these "supposed" to hit? I've heard May 27th, or I've also heard June 2nd. I was just curious when I should head out looking for these, although I know there have been some reports already of finding them at TRU or at Target (via DCPI).

I have no idea. When I called on the 16th, Target told me that was the street date. That's why I was able to talk them into bringing a case out when I got there. But other people keep saying their Targets are telling them other dates and that some are refusing to put them out before June 2nd or 3rd. I have no idea if there's a manufacturer-imposed street date or if Targets just make up their own random dates.

The poseability of the IG droid is incredible! The improved height a plus! The only thing I don't understand is the holster on his back-it has a hole in the bottom but fits no gun that he carries? Hmmmmm

I don't know what that thing's for either, but I guess we could throw an extra gun from some other fig in there. Love the butcher knife, though, and its prominent display over the shoulder.
