30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 2008 Order 66 packs?

That Anakin looks GREAT!

What a great re-use of the Nelvaan Tattoo Anakin figure!

All three of those sets look great.

While I don't think I'll be going as overboard as I did the last time, I definitely want at least three of each these.

I picked up a pair of Obi-Wan Jedi Starfigthers w/the Hyperspace Rings today.

I also scored another Coin Album that I found on clearance.

Tsui Choi looks great. The pale Palpatine is also a winner.

I highly doubt the Tsui Choi figure makes it to clearance. I hate it when Hasbro does stuff like this. A clone repaint is one thing, but a new Jedi sculpt is something entirely different.

The Sev figure doesn't look too bad. The colors are kinda jarring but I'm okay with them trying a different color scheme for this body. If they have a new head, that already sets this figure apart from the throw-away Jedi figures we got last year.

The Obi-Wan definitely looks like the Outlander Nightclub Version. This confuses me actually. I figured that they would just take the ROTS Obi-Wan figure and slap on the head from the Comic 2-pack.

I'm kinda hoping that the Anakin will be a solid version of the ghost figure, just to make things different.

With how many times they are releasing the same ARC figure as part of these sets, I'm hoping that the Tsui Choi is a completely new figure. That would be the least they could do.

This is directed to people at another site who don't believe the Death Squad Commander exists...you can argue that the greyness/greenishness of the tunic is from the panel he is working on but its pretty much the only photographic evidence there is...and if they made a Blue Snag, the can make a Death Squad Commander. I'd want one (and I made my own using the 30AC DST and a Moff Jerjerrod)

Let me guess, it's the forum on a site that rhymes with Treble Drum?

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Would you prefer knowing all of Hasbro's plans for the year at once?

« on: January 13, 2008, 08:20 AM »

I agree with Sal - give me the huge list all at once but only in text form. It would help with budget planning and it would also allow for lots of discussion like "hey how do you think they're going to do X figure in Y assortment?"

At Toy Fair - show me everything up to say June/July releases.

At Comic Con unveil the rest of the year.

I think that a text list would also put an end to people finding items in store inventory databases, posting them to the internet and when asked about them, Hasbro has to say "blah blah blah those are just rumors blah blah blah the Target employee responsible for DPCI number assignment is just hoping that we are going to release an AT-TE blah blah blah we can not comment on an AT-TE release at this time..." -- I appreciate the Q&A but when things get silly like that it's just ridiculous.

I'm really shocked at this news. Two sets of Rebel Pilots?!

Wow, hopefully these are going to be great.

I have no doubt that the Tycho body will be used to some degree here.

I'm hoping that I'm wrong, but I'm starting to think that we might see changes to the Stormtroopers in the OT once the 3D Re-releases or the Super-duper Special Editions come out at some point in the future.

Even if it's something silly like re-doing that room full of Stormtroopers that Han runs into in the Special Edition of EP4 or painting each of the Biker Scouts to have camo armor in EP6 - I fear that batallion markings are eventually going to find their way into the OT films themselves.

Anyone have any coins from any wave 7.5 figures?

That wave's barely hit here, and at this point I'm more concerned on the coins than the figures.

To return Anthony's favor to me, PM sent...

Well - the Hawkbat Clone is no longer listed on Hasbro Toy Shop.

This is really starting to upset me.

Does anyone have any spare coins from Hawkbat Clones they're willing to part with?

The twins sets are short packed.

Ah, that makes more sense.

A good friend of mine grabbed for me 2 each of the Keller and Boba Fett sets and 1 of the Sep of the Twins set.

He said there were a bunch of the first two sets but only two of the Sep of the Twins set on the pegs. Odd.
