and only one of them has an incorrect stand - Kit Fisto.  He apparently appeared in the Empire Strikes Back :P.  I've heard this is fairly common, has anyone else found this with any of their figures. 

I've heard there are a few figures shipping with an incorrect stand...

#53 Maul has a RotJ stand
#54 Chewbacca has a plain Star Wars stand
#55 Kit has an ESB stand
#60 Ep2 Clone has an ESB stand

not sure if there are others...

Okay, what the hell happened to Brent?  Did he go on vacation or something? 

He left for Hawaii on Dec 10th and will not retun until Dec 24th.

The Hasbro QnA for JD from 12/8 has been posted...

- Who are those Endor Rebels?
- Gray DS Trooper in 2007?
- Any Poncho for Concept Fett?

And, a note:  Due to the upcoming Holidays, Hasbro will be taking a Q&A break. Look for the Weekly Q&A to resume on January 12th!

30th Anniversary Collection / 30th Anniversary Collection = Delayed
« on: December 15, 2006, 02:34 PM »
Hasbro sent along a little 30th Anniversary Collection Update as part of this week's Q&A:

Quote
Due to unavoidable production delays, the first waves of Star Wars 30th Anniversary basic figures for 2007 will be delayed until March. We are looking at every way to get the figures in earlier, but fans should not expect to find them on shelf on 1/1 as we were hoping. We expect subsequent waves beyond the first to be on schedule shortly thereafter. We'll keep everyone updated as needed, but please be patient. Thanks!


Looks like we'll be seeing the Final 22 repack waves for a while...  :-\

Thanks for the kind words fellas.  I was hesitent to go all in on the carded Kubys, but I got good deals on the Sandtrooper and Fireball Fett.  :)

It's weird to think how much I've spent on those shelves, but I just love those carded Kubricks. They are one of the most favorite parts of my collection.  I keep meaning to take pictures of my whole SW Room layout, but I never seem to have the time to go through it all... maybe someday I'll finally do it.   ::)


ps.
Just heard from another customer, my "rare chase" count is now Yakface 3, Old Guy Anakin 3 with 6/7 cases opened.  Looking more and more like a 50/50 split to me...

I'm currently working on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and really enjoying the series so far.

I opted for reading the Potter books again

Because I like to copy everything Brian and Scott do (or because I wanted to go through them one more time before the movie comes out next summer), I also started re-reading the HP books.  It's funny to go back and find little hints at future plot threads, intentional or not.  ;)

« on: December 13, 2006, 11:24 PM »
Having missed a bunch of movies this summer/fall (gee, I wonder why?  :P), I've been buying a bunch of DVDs lately -

- Superman Returns
- Richard Donner Superman II
- Cars
- Pirates 2
- Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
- Alias Season 5

But, of course, we haven't had time to watch any of them yet.   ::)

Hmmm, Speeder and BH Trooper??

Good call...  ;)



Back to just needing that 1 chase Fett (double red gauntlets) to be complete.   ;D

have they done a Qui-gon Kubrick?

No Qui-Gon.  The only prequel figure they have done was the chase Blue Senate Guard from Series 7.

I've never seen these before.I 'm mean I know what they are,but I've never seen them in stores. I've only seen them on the net.How do get them?

The reason you probably haven't seen them is that they are a Japanese product and not sold directly to US accounts, meaning that any US seller has to buy them via a secondary seller in Japan.

Some folks do have a local hobby shop that carry them, but they are few and far between.  The majority of folks buy on-line - eBay, BigBadToyStore, HLJ.com, Ningyoushi.com, the JD Classifieds, etc.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 30th Anniversary Wave 2 - The Battle of Yavin

All this and at what cost will it be to us?

I checked the Target DPCI over lunch and it still shows up in the system at $6.99 (at least in MN).

Of course, keep in mind that Target has been known to start new series out high...

2004 - OTC started at $5.99, but dropped to $5.44 within a month
2005 - ROTS started at $5.99, but dropped down to $4.99 within a few weeks
2006 - TSC started at $6.99, but dropped down to $5.89 within a month or so (and then went back up to $6.64 a few months later  ::))

Target will always come down after a bit to match Wal-Mart (once they are sure the Wal-Mart price is not a promo/gimmick), but they almost never start out as the lowest.  Hopefully Wal-Mart will start off closer to $6 so Target is forced to price drop sooner rather than later.

Wow, that's a great price... but I've already got my "Old Guy" Anakin, picked him up this weekend.   :)

Got a package from Simon today too, just waiting to be opened...  pics to follow tonight after I get home from work and the younguns go to sleep.  8)

What can I say that hasn't already been said? 

Thanks once again to Simon for helping fill two more holes in my Kubrick Collection!

One of the best and that's for sure!   :)
