Shadows of the Dark Side / Re: Larger Hoth Battle Packs
« on: May 17, 2010, 10:14 AM »Could the Hoth Empire BP set be one of the mentioned sets? That BP is pretty large for the standard BPs these days - whereas it's just four figures in BPs, we get 3 figures (Vader, 2 troopers), a gun turret, and a swoop bike. Hasbro would normally switch out the turret with one of the figures, but we're also getting a swoop and a rider.
could be, but in the first post Hasbro references the price point of the UBP's saying it won't be as large and pricey. They could have just said that it was going to be in the regular BP line with the same pricepoint - but they didn't. I am thinking bigger in the $30-40 price range as an exclusive.

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Will there be a CW Slave I This Year?
« on: May 17, 2010, 10:09 AM »
I am just not certain if I will be buying the CW colored Slave over the ESB. Can someone post a side by side pic showing off the differences of the two? I don't have a Slave yet, but I only intend to have one in my collection - realistic paint apps would be preferable.
But at the same time, I don't want to pass this one up and, then have the possibility that Hasbro says some BS like it didn't sell well the the first time around in CW deco so we won't do it again cuz people don't want it.
I know that probably won't happen - just looking at it from a worst case scenario perspective.

yar - I live in Mishawaka, Indiana and I grabbed this set and the STAP Attack BP on clearance the week it was BOGO 1/2 off - so I got a pretty damn sweet deal with 2 BP's just over $20.

Everything looks great in there! Gotta show this to my son later and see what he thinks. Love the Taun-Taun head and your "spit" creation process.
Looking at your dio makes me see the number one character imo that needs an update is the Gam Guard.
edit: my son thinks this "is awesome!" - his words

The Legacy Collection / Re: Recent Legacy Purchases
« on: May 13, 2010, 04:53 PM »
Just got my HTS order of Sandstorm Luke, Han, and Chewie so I can finish R4-D6. Well, Han didn't come with the left leg like he was supposed to, he came with the left arm of MBRA7 
I contacted HTS about this and I explained that the reason I bought all three of those figures was to finish of this droid to build, and that the Han was shown in picture with the part I needed, yet he didn't come with it. The customer service rep was very understanding and he raised my concern to "escalation" so it will be taken care of - we'll see - if not I already found someone who might have one for trade.
I am sure someone else has ran into this beofre with all the droid/figure variations out there - anyone bother calling HTS on a similar issue?

I did end up getting the Mark VI Target exclusive this week on sale because from what I understand the silver paint apps on him make him more movie accurate. I haven't opened my single carded version so he will most likely be going back to the store.

Two things -
HTS refunded me $6 after putting my one phone call in a week or so ago complaining about the price going lower the day after I purchased something during one of their "sales" Funny thing is had I waited until now it would have even been cheaper - oh well.
Also yesterday I received my 3 free Saga Legends figures for buying my clone commaner blaster. My early prediction was I was going to be receiving Saese, Plo, and Saese - but I actually received Vader, Chewbacca, and AOTC Clone! The last one was the real shocker to me. All were moc just like they would have been had I bought them from a store. There cards were by no means mint (not that I cared) because they were crammed in a box that wasn't wide enough.
