Welcome aboard Longhorn, have fun here...

Any questions and just ask.  Customs and photonovels are big here, but browse the other portions for good in-depth and pretty damn knowledgeable people on collecting of all kinds from vintage to modern to high-end stuff.  Lots of good eggs here...

"more adult"...  Good way to look at it, not to mention that all problems (be they adult or children) are dealt with much more swiftly. 

Sounds good.  Welcome to the site...  Look around, and check everything out.

Thanks Jason, much appreciated...  The Evolutions sets were all kind of "just shy" of perfection as we'll see with the others.  A little disappointing but not near anything worth bashing them over for certain.  I really do hope the concept continues with new sets at some point because this is a far superior idea than VOTC is if you ask me.

I'd sooner pay $20 for a boxed set of Imperial Troopers (Storm, Snow, Scout) like this, than $10/figure for any of them, plus the trouble of tracking many down.  3 at a time is nice.

So hopefully Hasbro has their ears to the ground on this one because I think the fans have spoken with their wallets and their voices on Evolutions being Hot Hot Hot at retail and within online communities.

Well Brad pretty much settled that.   Urination it is...

Dude, just go harass Rebelscum, they're your kinda folks.  Hell, post hard enough and they'll even slap the "Mod" title on ya.

Man, what planet are those from?  Must have a heavier gravity than Earth due to their squatness and saggy skin.  It also appears to be hot as they are panting.

The Empire and Republic have explored some strange, strange worlds...  Those look ferocious.

I've changed the title here but also, there's a new trailer up at the Empire At War site as well as there being a trialer on the Episode III DVD for your viewing pleasure.

The game's really shaping up nicely.  I like the ground units that aren't Force Commander units now and that's a major plus for me.  I've taken it in stride as just expansion of what the Alliance has and uses rather than replacement, but I believe they did incorporate some elements of FC so that's cool.

I'm still thoroughly disappointed in the TIE Crawler irregardless of "excuse".  I'll accept it, but to me the TIE/C in West End Games books was and always shall be the true TIE/C.    Just a great and more traditional design.

The unit management on the field looks fantastic.  I'm fearful though of how that space combat is gonna play out.  That could be a MAJOR bitch to control, especially if at the same time you've got tons of other stuff going on...  It could be a really complex game to master, and it's breaking some new ground for this genre so it'll be interesting. 

The unit designs look great, and it plays out the galactic Civil War like I like it too...  Big huge battles, the Alliance AREN'T a bunch of pussies but an army/military just as organized and threatening to the Empire as the CIS is to the Republic...  They just are against a much more militaristic society that has total control and a mightier military that can be focused anywhere at any time. 

The fact it's pre-ANH but there's multiple fighter types, the Mon Cal, etc...  That's good news.  I hope they incorporate maybe the A-Wing early as it has been established and not that BS "post-ANH" crap.  Same for Interceptors if they're making the space combat diverse in unit types.  I'm thinking they won't though because the Fighters and Bombers seem like the standards.

I'm not sure how I'm taking that 3rd element of beasts on the field...  I mean if it's a rancor on Dathomir I can see it...  Or a Nexu on the Gran's planet or whatnot...  But like if it's a Rancor on Alderaan that'd be just dumb.  I dunno.

I'm a little concerned about a lack of linear story following Star Wars too.  It could kill it somewhat for me if it changes the story totall, I don't know.  Have to see how this plays out, just voicing some early thoughts...  The trailer blows you away though, go look at it.  The visuals of ships blowing up...  The Destroyer iwth a HUGE ass chunk of its starbord side blown out and decks exposed...  That's spooky, hardcore military stuff.  The screaming as troops run into battle just adds to it too, and makes you think of old-style military charges, or the D-Day landings...  Amazing.  Go Watch NOW!

Along with my regular extras I've got, I picked up some errors and variations along the way that I really don't collect but that I hoped would help me score a figure I needed or two along the way...    There's a couple extras I've accumulated someone might need too like Ephant...

Here's what I have:

-Saga Elan Sleazebagano (With Ears)
-Commtech Jawa W/Gonk Droid (No Pegholes In Feet)
-Saga Ephant Mon (Damaged Card)
-ROTS Anakin (Sith Eyes Variation)
-Episode 1 Royal Guard (2 of the Royal Guard Figures)

These are just some things I thought someone might want or need for their collection since some of these weren't the easiest things to find.  I'd consider selling them but I'd really much rather trade for some of the things I am still on the prowl for instead...  Not asking more than what they cost me if I should sell them but please if you have some things I need, I'd dig trading right now.

I need:

-Red Shocktroopers
-501st Tactical Ops Trooper (I'd dig the Battlepack Clone too if anyone wanted to give one up?)
-Evolutions Clone Set (Obviously I'd give more than one figure for this  )
-Wookiee Heavy Gunner
-Cat Minn
-Holographic Plo Koon
-Holographic Ayla Secura
-Fan Club Covert Ops Clone (Figuring I maybe actually want one, but like the Evo set I'd be generous with this)

That's about it that I need, but I do need that stuff especially the Shocktroopers...  Let me know if anything on the list is something you need and I'd gladly trade 1-for-1 on most of what I need. 

Thanks for checking this out.
