Now, don't hold your breath because these dates have been wrong plenty of times before, just thought I'd let you all know in case anyone was champing at the bit to pick up this exclusive box of rehashes.
I'm not holding my breath because they are rehashes.

Wow! Sorry to check into this thread so late, but that stormie is amazing. I'm not so much into large scale stuff, but I make exceptions for Stormtroopers.
Now to talk to (beg) my wife....

I'm not much of a 12" collector, but I am a sucker for detail and if these are as good as they sound, it might just get me back into the 12" game.

I think you can cross off the SA Obi Wan in ROTS as #55 is perfect.
Great list BTW.

Has anyone figured out which case rotations contain which re-paints?
I just found a wave 6 case that had two each of 54-56, but no repaints, it was W6R2.
There is a case with black clone pilots and one without, both have the other re-paints (although the one without will sometimes have the white #6 in place of the red one) and no Sentry. Anyone catch the Rotaion numbers?

Revenge of the Sith / Re: 2005 RotS Figures Release List
« on: August 11, 2005, 11:35 AM »Again, not a find so to speak but found this over at Galatic Hunter in their forums and thought I would share. Not wanting to make a new thread I thought it fit best here.
Anyway, I do not read or speak German (French and Norwegian) and though Norwegian is similiar . . . I don't want to try a translation.
If this is true, sounds like Hasbro is getting it right by putting 2 each of the Commanders and 3 each of the 501st. Then again, I don't believe case assortments too much until I find them on the floor. I would say that the Nov. date in Germany could mean a Sept. release here, or it could mean a release date near the DVD release! I don't want to wait that LONG!!!!
Case Assortment,
From, http://www.4-inches.de/inhalt/home.htm
Go under the 8.8.2005 Holiday Update and then scroll down about 1/2 way for the info.
Basic Figures Assortment
851737 Collection 1 Wave 7 - November 2005
2x Commander Gree
2x Commander Bly
2x Neimodian Commander
2x Wookie Commander [eigentlich Commando]
2x Grievous Body Guard 2
1x Passel Argente
1x Shu-Mai (Seperatist) [eigentlich Cat Miin (Shu Mai’s Aide)]
851745 Collection 2 Wave 6 - November 2005
3x R2 P17 Astromech Droid [eigentlich R4-P17]
3x Special Ops Clone Trooper [auch Tactical Operations Clone Trooper (501st)]
2x Ayla Secura Hologramm
2x Wookie Heavy Gunner
2x Plo Koon Hologramm
Keep in mind that case assortments and release dates in Europe are different than here in the U.S. I highly doubt this will be true here. We're going to get the new 12 in 3 or 4 waves and will start seeing them in about two months.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Are You a Star Wars Packrat?
« on: August 11, 2005, 11:10 AM »
Here's the kicker for me, I collect both loose and carded and have not thrown any packages away since before '95. I'm just like mosnab as well in that I hate waste and unnessesary items taking up space, but SW is the exception to that rule. I know psycologically, it goes back to when I was 7 and tried to keep all of my original vintage packaging like the Deathstar playset and the MF, but my parents wouldn't have it and threw the boxes away.
Just yesterday I was re-arranging stuff in my garrage and found an area in the rafters to store the empty boxes (neatly packed in larger cardboard boxes,) but one of these days I think I'm going to get rid of it all.

I've always been fasinated with Norman Rockwell and think he is one of my favorates. One my favorate paintings is of a man looking at a Jackson Pollick painting.
Contemporary wise, Alex Ross just blows me away. The Kingdom Come novel is just a masterpiece.
On a side note, I'm a Salvadore Dhali fan as well an nearly owned two original sketches. When I move into my current home, the previous occupants were in care of the sketches (owned by the woman who owned the house who had passed away, the occupants were relatives taking care of her) and were leaving a lot of stuff behind. I had asked the wife about them and not having any clue about them she said, sure you can have 'em. Unfortunately, her husdband wasn't as dim and nearly killed her when she ran it by him.

I'm going to have to take a middle of the road stance. It's a nice sculpt, but the articulation is just okay. For the character, it's well done, but just not all that exciting for me.
