Nope... the picture has been removed.

PLEASE DO NOT POST PICTURES THAT CONTAIN BAD WORDS.

While we alllow you the option of turning off the language filter, many folks have to leave it on because they use the net at work.  Posting pictures with bad words is not cool... obviously I/we have to start watching this thread a bit more closely.

I will be going through and removing some other pics as well... 

Hasbro sent out a Q&A schedule and that went through May 11th.

After that though, you get into Celebration IV at the end of May and then SDCC in July.  Don't know if they plan to go past that date or not, I guess we will have to wait and see how long it lasts...

A busy (down) weekend for the DC movies, as both Joss Whedon and David Goyer have dropped out/been cut from the Wonder Woman and Flash movies, respectively.  Sounds like they wanted to go in "different directions" in both cases. 

In other words, they wanted to go in the direction of making a movie about the actual character in the book, while WB wanted to go with some "fresh/new/hip" interpretation of the character.   

As much as I would love a Flash or GL movie, I am worried that neither could ever live up to my expectations after 25+ years of reading those comic book. 

So I guess it basically sounds like if they aren't graded, I just as well toss them as well?

Don't just throw them away!   There are people who are interested in old cards, even if they are not graded - they are called "little kids".


Here's what I did with a TON of my old baseball/football/hockey commons.

Step 1:  Sort out all the cards you want to keep.  (I ended up keeping one of every card that I had.  I figured that my boys might like to have them some day.  I know I had fun looking through my dad's old stuff).

Step 2:  Shuffle all the extra/excess/duplicate cards.  Place 15-25 cards into those small "snack size" ziploc baggies. 

Step 3:  Now give away all those small baggies!  One option is Halloween (in addition to or in place of candy).  Another option is your local elementary school - teachers can use them as incentives for kids who do well and the younger kids (like 1st graders) LOVE cards.  I've learned that for most little boys, it makes no difference what/who the cards are they are just excited to get something for doing well in school.


There you go.  Maybe those kids will throw them away, maybe they'll keep them.  You never really know.  Either way, you are free of them.  Much easier than dealing with eBay and you don't spend any gas driving from shop to shop trying to find someone to buy them.   

They way I see it, I'm paying $13 for one figure that wasn't even in the movie.

I heard/read a few things out there in internet land, so I thought I'd check for myself...

I was at Target yesterday and punched the Order 66 DPCI# (087-06-0884) into the scanner.  The rumors are true - the Order 66 sets are now showing a $9.99 each price (at least here in MN).

$10 for these sets is much more reasonable than $13, especially compared to the comic packs line.  In fact, at $10 each, I am even willing to buy extras for army building (the 501st Airborne, Utapau AT-RT, and maybe even the Kashyyyk Clone).  I'll just sell the Jedi figures for $3 (to the neighborhood kids or customizers or whoever) and then the clones are really only $7 each, same as the rest of the basic figures.   

WonderFest for Winter 2007 is on February 25th...  I'm currently hoping that the February Medicom update announces Series 8 on the 23rd and they they show them off at the show!   

And that brings up a good question (and I hate to be the one to ask) but will JD be present at Toy Fair?

You are not the first to ask.  The answer is still the same as last time: 

We are currently working through our strategy for Toy Fair 2007 and we will make an announcement one way or the other when we are ready...

I guess I missed it before (and apologies if I missed someone else bringing it up), but it looks like in addition to the 8 McQuarrie figures, we might be getting McQuarrie himself?

Here are the 8 official McQuarrie Concept Figures:

1824 SW BASIC FIG MCQUARRIE SERIES BOBA FETT 6-53569-20153-3
1833 SW BASIC FIG MCQUARRIE SERIES CHEWBACCA 6-53569-20599-9
1839 SW BASIC FIGURE MCQUARRIE SERIES VADER 6-53569-20662-0
1841 SW BSC FIG MCQUARRIE STORMTROOPER 6-53569-21497-7
1847 SW BASIC FIG MCQUARRIE SERIES #5 LUKE 6-53569-21856-2
1849 SW BSC FIG MCQUARRIE SERIES #6 SNWTRPR 6-53569-24954-2
1854 SW BSC FIG MCQUARRIE SERIES #7 HAN SOLO 6-53569-25695-3
1860 SW 3.75 BSC FIG MCQUARRIE #8 REBEL SLDR 6-53569-25705-9


And then, there is this one:

1852 SW 3.75 BSC FIG REBEL TROOPER MCQUARRIE 6-53569-24957-3

It doesn't seem to fit in with the others since it is a separate listing from the McQuarrie #8 Rebel Soldier.  Maybe, just maybe we're getting McQuarrie himself from his Echo Base cameo?



I suppose it could just be Derlin with a new head, but that would be a pretty spiffy tribute if it's true...
