Hasbrotoyshop.com has all of the new GH 2 packs. Priced very well at $4.99 a set.

I just hope they don't cancel my order because of the "wrong" price.

They didn't cancel my order, I got them yesterday.

I was glad to pick them up from HTS. $5 plus 10% off with the COMICON06 code was a great deal.

I really love this batch of figures - all new and no repaints!

- Wedge /TIE Pilot: I love this Wedge! They did a great job with his removable helmet. The TIE Pilot is a great little figure too.

- Han/Greedo: Nice to see that Han is new and not just a repaint - new gun and new arm, he's a bit less bulky than the original Han too. Greedo = great! I always liked Greedo, and he's really had a good year between this and the VTSC figure.

- Han/Luke Stormtrooper: Again, great removable helmets on these. A really nice feature and they work well as regular stormies too.

- Obi-Wan/Sandtrooper: Nice to finally add a new army builder, and the hood down version of Ben is pretty nifty. Great saber pose too.

Now I just have to wait for the boys to get a little older so they can play "Star Wars" with me...

The JD Kubrick Checklist includes links to pictures and articles with info on each figure.

We are working on updating it with Series 6.

I also received a quick payment from Justin.

Quick payment and easy transaction, my favorite kind of deal.

Thanks Justin!

Just under $1 million to go (that should only be another day) and Dead Man's Chest will pass Sith and move into #7 all-time - $381 million! I knew this thing was going to be a big blockbuster summer movie, but I can't say I was expecting these kind of numbers.

It will be interesting to see where it ends up after all is said and done. Spiderman ($403 million) is still well within reach (especially if it keeps up the $10+ million weekends), but will it have the legs to make a run at The Phantom Menace ($431 million) or ET ($435 million)?

I picked up the GB C-3PO Lava Base Variant at Valencia Target Saturday.

You mean he's shipping with two different bases?

I hadn't heard about that one yet...

*There's a lot of crap in there that a lot of folks probably wouldn't be too keen on paying $10+ for

Yeah, there are really only a few VOTC/VTSC figures they could do at this point that I really want them to do.

Don't get me wrong, I'll buy them all if they make them, but my life will go on just fine without SA VOTC Rancor Keeper or SA Pruneface.

I'd really, really like to see them get to the ones below. The rest = meh.

Star Wars
Death Squad Commander
Walrus Man
Death Star Droid (silver, not black)

The Empire Strikes Back
Rebel Soldier (Hoth)
Han Solo (Hoth)
Princess Leia Organa (Hoth)
Rebel Commander
Imperial Commander (Black Uniform)
Bespin Security Guard (Black)
Zuckuss
4-LOM

Return of the Jedi
Gamorrean Guard
Emperor's Royal Guard
Klaatu (Jabba's Palace)
Weequay
Nikto
The Emperor
B-Wing Pilot
AT-ST Driver

The Power of the Force
Artoo-Detoo with pop-up Lightsaber
Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper) - I'm not counting the Marvel POS version.

You're one of a handful of people in the entire world who won the exclusive Rayrob t-shirt; is that not enough? Some people. Sheesh.

It's here!

clicky for larger picture!

I'll treasure my RayRob Shirt forever... I haven't even taken it out of the package yet for fear of lowering it's value.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: The "Final 22"

« on: August 5, 2006, 01:43 PM »

#53-62 are up for pre-order at EntertainmentEarth.

1x Darth Maul (Sith Training, Saga #53)
1x Chewbacca (Cloud City Escape, Saga #54)
1x Kit Fisto (Clone Wars, Saga #55)
1x Clone Commander Cody (Holograph, Saga #56)
2x Clone Trooper (442nd Siege Battalion, ROTS green markings, Saga #57)
1x R5-A1 (Imperial Astromech, Saga #58)
2x Clone Trooper (Fifth Fleet Security, ROTS blue striped, Saga #59)
1x Clone Trooper (Sergeant, AOTC green, Saga #60)
1x Super Battle Droid (Kashyyyk, Saga #61)
1x Battle Droid 2-Pack (Kashyyyk, Saga #62)

I have to admit that's a pretty nice case assortment - 1x everything and an extra of each ROTS Clone.

I'm really glad to see that they weren't dumb enough to pack Maul or Chewie at 2x per case.

I think...

- #57 & #59 - yeah definitely the ROTS #41 Clone (based on the Antenna)
- #60 is the Clone Wars Version (like from the EE Multi-Packs)
- #64 is based off the ROTS #33 Commander Sculpt
- #69 is based off the ROTS #38 AT-TE Sculpt (based on those arms and the lack of antenna)

At least that's what I remember someone saying from SDCC.
