Revenge of the Sith / Re: Wal-Mart "Early Bird" Exclusive
« on: April 29, 2006, 05:50 PM »
I sent away for one never got it.
Called Hasbro shipped to a different address and I still never got it. I bought it last week at a toy show for $20. Chewie was the only reason to get it. I love the 70's slick hairdew on him.....

I only saw 2 sets once at Walmart, these were really in and out. So do not feel bad you missed them.
That would have been a great greatest hits repack.

I have seen these on ebay go as low as 22 with shipping included. I was just at a Toy show last weekend. One dealer was charging 12 each which was not bad at all. Keep your eyes peeled.

Chewie,

You are not being picky. I agree the old arc sculpts are buzz killers.
If they were SA I would easily buy 2-3

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Ordering TSC Figures by the Case?
« on: April 29, 2006, 02:15 PM »
EE IS WAY BEHIND ON THEIR SHIPMENTS. THEY DID NOT EVEN RECEIVE THEIR WAVE 3 IN YET. STORES IN CHICAGOLAND ARE USALLY EMPTY WITH SOME SCRAPS. ORDERING BY THE CASE IS A GOOD IDEA. I WAS STARTING TO DO THAT BUT THEN I FIND THEM IN STORES AND HAVE TO CANCEL. ITS A TOUGH CALL.
I HAD THIS EXPERIENCE WITH THE WAVE 4 AND VSTC.

I WILL HAVE TO CHECK OUT NEW FORCE ITS SOUNDS GREAT.

ITS A COOL SET, I AM ALWAYS DONE WITH MORE FIGURES, BUT I WAS UNAWARE OF FAT TWILEKS BROADS.
SHAME THE BLACK STORMTROOPERS WERE NOT SHIPPING EARLIER TO COMBINE IT WITH THIS SET.

I KNOW ITS MEAN, BUT I CANT HELP IT, THE PHOTO OF THE OTHER DAUGHTER IS SO PIG LIKE.
SENATOR FAT FAAT.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL TO REDECO JETT WITH BLASTER WOUNDS......CUSTOM HERE WE COME!

inadvertent imitation,
BY ANY CHANCE DO YOUR HW GUYS HAVE BIG GRIZZLY ADAMS SANTA BEARDS?
FOR SOME REASON, ITS A BIG TREND WITH THESE GUYS: BASEBALL CAPS AND BEARDS!

I WANT TO TUG THEM TO SEE IF HOT WHEELS CARS WILL SHAKE OUT OF THEM.

I USE TO WORK AS A DESIGNER AT MATTEL IN EL SEGUNDO CA. THEY USE TO GIVE US FREE RARE HW CARS. ON THE WAY TO WORK THERE WAS A TARGET THAT I STOPPED AT EACH MORNING ON PCH HIGHWAY WITH OODLES OF THESE GUYS. BEFORE THE TARGET OPENED I HAD A CAR TRUNK SALE, IT WAS GREAT WATCHING THEM SCRAMBLE. I MADE PLENTY OF CASH TO BUY MY SW STUFF.
BUT MY GOD MAN I WANTED TO BRING A PAIR OF CLIPPERS.

AT LEAST THEY DO NOT GO IN THE SW SECTION.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Terrible Previously Released Figures

I could not agree more.

POTF2 was good for its time and brought SW back from the grave.
- R5, Emporers Royal salt shakers, Death star Trooper & Ugnaughts take the prize from me as biggest losers of this series -

EP1 stepped up the deco ops on all the figures and started trickling in some new jedi articulation. Vehicles were nice.
-  Boss Nass, Amidala grapple2 take the prize from me as biggest losers of this series -

POTJ really is still one of the nicest collections. Some of its sculpts still hold up really well (Tessek, Boss Nass, Duros)
Cheiwe Derrik champion(Great accessorie), Fode/Beed, & take the prize from me as biggest losers of this series

EP2 was a major set back. This was the only time since 91' I took a break from the line.  The figures really blew more than a neighborhood hooker.
Too many losers to list

Clone Wars was the major turnaround to bring collectors and kids back. Articulation really took off with the ball jointed heads and shoulders. Great vehicles and SW army building got its momentum here.
If I had to pic I would say the Arc trooper just too static!

Saga's second half really turned things around and brought me back in 100%
Luke Fianl duel, Darth Final Duel & all action features

OTC - Great line even had great repaints! Loved the whole line.
Liked them all.

Sith was by far incredible! Articulation hit an all time high.
all Anakin(except evo), all OBi's (Except pilot), Palpatine, destoyer droid are the losers for me.

Saga2 is really good but I think Hasbro took a step back with the hologram and custom autographed stands. They lessesned articulation and the price is higher. My thought put the holo & stand back into the figure.
Han carbonite, Derlin, Sora, Veers, Scorch all should have had bendable kness. Sora ankles but not his knees please switch.
Overall its still good, VSC is really bitch'n.
So far the biggest loser for me is rehashed 500th Vader. His helmet pops off to easily!

2950
I bought 5........it was useless to resist.
Also bought one of the Family Four pack! :D

2951
A little dissapointed that they used the very static CW ARC figure x3. I would have bee better that they used the same RED arc cody for the other 3.

I am still buying dont get me wrong. The CW arcs really cannot strike cool poses for displaying. Plus the parts come off too easy.

Word!

2952
Nah, I was not drinking last night, had too many bad run ins with 501's  at Walmart & Target. Dorks with attitudes. I am sure there are mostly good guys but life is based on personal experiences. So screw this waste of plastic.

No Kevin I am not kidding. I am serious when I say I am boycotting this figure. I think it a waste of tooling dollars on the flag stand and base.

Here is a short list of better exclusives using the tooling money they spent on the stand to make a worthwhile figure:

Ghost of Yoda using the OTC Yoda (To match the OTC Obi
Darth Vader Hologram POTF commtech vader with plastic cape from another Vader
New Biggs Darklighter head with Dutch Body
Saga Rebel Fleet trooper with new head sculpt
Saga Imerial Officer with new head sculpt
Unique painted R2 unit with Naboo ship charger stand.

Ya know, something that actually can compliment and truly fit with the continuity of the line. (Creating everything from the films)

Just my opinion. Yes I did go a little overboard on a rant. Ment no harm.

Our of curiosity I compared the Naboo fighter can fit inside the mid size box too. I just bought it at a flea market last week brand new for $20. One of the only ships I passed on. Not bad, a EP2 worn deco may look cool for a rehash.

Has anyone opened up the new repackaged Saga2 Obi starfighter? 

I am wondering if they improved the paint job to a better red. The ROTS one is a little too dark compared to the film.

How can anyone get mad at that its really funny. Yes, its pathtic but c'mon I love it. They will sell to some Mom that walks by and that kid will never know.
If you go to the store that many times and nothings there its a rebate for the chap that swaps. He would be better off not painting them. When I lived in Redondo someone brought back a ton of old saga figures in swapped out ROTS packages. He included all the parts so I filled some gaps in my collection. they were mint too! :D

Its not always a bad thing. I was happy to pay $5 for Red Battle droids.  ;D

2955
3 opened 1 MOC prison forever..............

Great figure indeed ,although his wrists pop off a little too easy. They have to increase the boss diameter to have a better fit.
But thats just my opinion. :D
