I believe I stopped at 3. Quite enough for me considering the several Evos and 3 POTJs I have.

I can't believe this. Another variant in this wave? Dud Bolt has straight ears or one ear flopping....
I would get the one I don't want.

I hate to suggest spending $20 on a 3 3/4, but you should grab one. He's an awesome figure. Just be careful not to break his little arm cable.

Pod Racers, Luke and black Rebel Trooper came from Amazon today. Already got the black one from KB online, but I took my chances because Amazon pictured the white one on their site. I might pull the neck out and pop the bearded Saga trooper head on it, if I can find out for sure whether it'll fit, first. All I need from the wave is that white guy, now...

I don't know exactly what the others go for, but checking closed eBay auctions is about as accurate a gauge as any. I hate to even look at what the Stormtrooper sells for... You know, you might also be able to find someone who'll sell you an Early Bird Chewie pretty cheap, since the sets clearanced out real low. That's a wonderful fig, being the VOTC body and a new head (closed mouth, combed back hair). ROTS Chewie is horrendous. The articulation stinks, and the stance is lame.

$15.50 shipped sounds like a good deal for Chewie. It's roughly retail + shipping. I don't think you'll find a better price, certainly not by "tonight/tommorrow". 
If there's any figure worth $15.50 shipped, it's the amazing VOTC Chewbacca!

Yeah, that was it, Neal. I'll e-mail it, Ruiner.

Yeah, they got rid of it. Somebody felt the need to post a pornographic photoshop of Myatt.

The troopers are a really sad offering, and reiterate just how split Hasbro's quality still is. They'll do stuff like VOTC and Evolutions (and raise the price point for these "special" figures), but skimp hard in other places. Reusing the outdated parts from the Saga figure was a really cheap move; those arms are immobile and worthless (especially with the jacket stifling them). And the legs on this guy are a reminder of how amazingly talented this company is at rendering ball joints almost useless. How a figure with ball knees and ankles could be so awkward to pose is beyond me, but it is. It's the same situation as VTSC Luke; the legs somehow manage to have limited poseability even with ball joints. I think it's the configuration of the hips/thighs? They seem to be skewed out in such a way that posing the knees makes the figure stand funny. And this was a particularly cheapass move considering they're already scoring multiple sales on this fig with the white and black heads.
Between this monkey business and the damned paint error variant BS they keep pulling (eg Endor Threepio, Gragra) I'm getting discouraged about collecting this junk.

Has anyone popped the Saga trooper's head into the neck of the new trooper? Does it fit?
