The Vintage Collection / Re: Defender Wishlists 2012 Discussion

Are all of the people who wanted Coleman Kcaj OK with Pablo Jill and calling it good or do you really want the holo version?

The purist in me wants two seperate figures.  I have a stronger recollection of seeing the hologram of Coleman Kcaj, but apparently there is a shot of him within the Council chambers.  But the realist in me says that the likelihood of us getting two distinct Ongree Jedi is kind of slim.

I checked my online statement.  I was charged.

I placed my order earlier today, and I was charged immediately.  It would be nice if Brians Toys would at least reach out to their customers to clarify the issue. 

This sort of would not happen with EE.

Scott who takes the spots for Pablo Jill and Jocasta Nu on the AOTC wishlist and R5-X2 on TPM one?

I'm definitely interested, too.  Although I'm not too enthused if one of the AOTC runners-up was a Neimoidian (Gilramos Libkath).  We've just seen a terrible track record of Neimoidians pegwarming at retail over the years.  Part of me was happy to see that Daultay Dofine got made, but I was equally concerned that he would be a pegwarmer.

Droid Factory 2013 / Re: 2013 Droid Factory Wave 2

Based on this Mara Jade Skywalker listing, it seems like Hasbro didn't have her in the pipeline during the last Fan's Choice Figure Poll.  You've got to figure that this wave probably won't be seen until at least March or April of '13.

Darth Vader Bespin?  Hasn't that one been in the works for about 10 years or more?  I'm interested to see how Hasbro is going to present that version of Vader.  The prototype of Bespin Vader that came out year ago showed a blast spark in Vader's hand.  Will this new version do something similar?

Yavin Ceremony Luke?  This seems like a case of trying to fix the 30AC figure.  That headsculpt was just pasty and pale, but the rest of the figure was okay.  Hopefully this new version will address the areas where the 30AC figure fell short.

The A-Wing pilot is kind of interesting.  Part of me wants the Sullustan pilot from the ROTJ deleted scene.  But another part of me wants a human A-Wing pilot on a Vintage card.  Seeing how the Vintage Collection is going on hold for a while, I'd like Hasbro to hold off on the human A-Wing pilot and save that for when the Vintage Collection comes back.  By that train of thought I think it's more likely that we might get that deleted scene Sullustan A-Wing pilot.

Most of all?  I'm hoping that Hasbro might at least have some images or prototypes of this wave to show off at C6.

It's remarkable that K-Mart is taking on some exclusives now.  And in this case they've taken on three that are based around the common theme of the AT-ST hijacking.  Personally, I would have liked to see a ROTJ Chewbacca sculpt packaged with the Ewoks.  That would have made it a comprehensive approach, but that's just splitting hairs.  I think that both the AT-ST Drivers and Ewoks look pretty awesome.

From the SDCC images it looks like these are still a few months off.  The cards in front of the figures said they'll be available in October.  But interestingly there was no price on those tags.

Very glad to see this at long last.  Especially with the clear stand!  That's a feature that the speeder bike was calling out for, and a feature that I've been hoping would be considered for any new Han Solo in the carbonite block.

I'm definitely hoping that Hasbro will put this new tool to good use.  And from my standpoint, I'd be happy to see the Speeder bike re-offered with Luke & Leia in their Endor gear.  Of course, that's with the provision that both figures have appropriate articulation so that they can get on the Speeder bike.  And a Paploo with Speeder bike would be cool, too.

I've gotta say, I like this. This will get the Jocasta Nu monkey off of Hasbro's back, and we get the new figure. Add in the Dooku Lost 20 bust, plus the packaging that looks like the Jedi archives and I'm ok with the $25 price tag.

I'm a little surprised that Hasbro partnered up with Brian's Toys on this. And it makes me think that EE probably passed on this. I have to wonder if Hasbro realizes the kind of reaction this will elicit with collectors. But I'm going to bite the bullet and get my order in pretty soon.

The big challenge with an in-ground pool?  Digging the hole is a simple job. But is your backyard clear of any pipes, cables or the like?  Aside from the permits, this could be one of the more significant considerations.

The best thing I've seen so far is that Mahawnik (sp?), Naboo Pilot, Aurra Sing & Gungan Warrior are all shown on the Vintage figures shelf and Aurra and the Gungan seem to have paint application differences - and the Gungan for sure has a new super-long staff accessory.


Where'd you see those?

Check out the GH Facebook page. They managed to get on the floor early today

Not certain, but I definitely saw them there.  And they were right on a main aisle in the store where I saw them.

I looked for these at two Wal-Marts over the weekend and couldn't find them anywhere.  They should be in the Home section with dishes and such, right?   :P

Try Target.  I found them in the kitchen accessory area, near some stuff like dish drainers.

Managed to score Darth Malgus and The Imperial Navy Commander at a TRU store this afternoon.  AND there must be some kind of promo going on, because they both rang up at $7.00 each.  VERY NICE!
