Toy Reviews / Re: New JD Review: VTSC Han (Trench Coat)
« on: May 11, 2006, 07:50 PM »
Great review Jesse!

I like this figure but my biggest complaints lie in:
The shiny belt. The VOTC one was flat and looked more real.
The Waist ariculation makes him look fat and does not work well at all.
The coat is so-so. Even though its not as acurate I like the vinatge one better.

I feel he is the weakest of the 5 but still a good figure.

Make a Han Bespin please!

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: So what do you want to see for a 30TH anniversary con figure?
« on: May 11, 2006, 07:42 PM »
I would love to see either the 300th Vader, ROTS Yoda and the ROTS Emporer repacked again!
Now that would be the Ultimate thank to all of us loyal die hard collectors!

Now to be serious: As someone suggested the Force Ghost of Anakin with Shaw or Haydens head. Thats a great idea for a worthy exclusive.

In the Chicago area the trend is:

Scuzzy Wal-Marts: Vader & Lushros
TRU: Bib Fortuna, Chewie & Yoda
Target: Derlin & Yoda  (And ROTS vehicle asst, I know thats not the question at hand but they are warming pegs. Kinda scary for the future assortments)


Update in Chicagoland:
Scuzzy Wal-Marts: Vader & Geonosis Wave 3 (Except Scorh/Utapau)
TRU: Wiped out...all of them!
Target: Derlin, Yoda, Vader, Grevious Demise, ROTS vehicle asst, I know thats not the question at hand but they are warming pegs. Kinda scary for the future assortments...some repacks have trickeld through)

TRU has alot of ask Yodas he is now only $14.99! I had to pick him up, its such an annoying toy! Also its the pinnacle of geekdom to have one!
I love it!

Have any of you guys who got the $5 refund actually seen it on your card yet.  The email I got was talking about who my order was being ready for shipping and as soon as my card get charged they will give me the $5 (hopefully $10) refund but I already got my package the day I sent the email off so my card was already charged.  Hopefully I will notice the  refund soon.

I ordered 2 of them and got my $10 credit just in time before they pulled it. I got the heads up on yakface and inquired immediatly.
They saw how much money they had to give back and put the kie-bosh on it when they saw too many fans found out.
Refunds usally take 3-5 days to appear, so save their email just in case.

C'mon Lucas give everyone who ordered one their $5 back! They are going to give back to you eventually anyway.
Make them feel like you care about your fans for 1 minute!

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Lack of new figures bringing boredom?
« on: May 11, 2006, 07:22 PM »
I am really bored right now.

All I need to be up to date is UGH Han, Boba and Vader. I can lve with out them but I knda want to finish what I started. I found 7 in stores and refuse to buy them off scalpers.
C'mon Tatooine wave where are you???????

It really is addictive like crack. After 14 years of collecting you would think I have enough. I am not even 30 yet. I will have to buy another house to store this stuff.........

It appears they reduced his 70's white man afro. The production sample looks good. I hope I recieve miine. I mailed away 3 weeks ago.
I never got my Early birds and FYI I had them shipped to 2 different addresses in 2 different states.

Makes me nervous.........

4 opened 1 MOC prison forever..............

Great figure indeed ,although his wrists pop off a little too easy. They have to increase the boss diameter to have a better fit.
But thats just my opinion. :D

He is the best figure of the set by far. I had to buy another to ease my star war figure crack habit. He looks great with the larger standard Stormtrooper rifle from POTF2 line. (Sorry, I forget the official name for it)

Bring on the Tatooine wave! that sandtooper looks nice.........

Holt Sweetness!
The Trade Tank actually looks menacing.  The Hailfire Droid smoke the CW release. and the Vader Starfigher looks slick.

Count me in for  2 - 2 -1! Bring them on! :D

A different R2 unit head would be cool.....

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Target "Skirmish At The Senate" Battlepack
« on: May 11, 2006, 07:02 PM »
Seeing a lot of these stack up around the Chicago area.
The Clones and pod is what this is all about. I do not even want the quick draw version anymore. H&V would have been wise to pack the SA one instead.

I use to like that Yoda figure but now I hate him,
After ROTS lets see:
Saga Wave 3 repack
Skirmish in the senate pack
Heroes and Villians repack

The emporer always sucked and now we get him in the same fashion as yoda but he has him 1 upped!
ROTS
ROTS TRU Holo
Saga Wave 3 repack
Kmart battle pack
Skirmish in the senate pack
Heroes and Villians repack

I never destroyed a figure in my life but I think I will break out my heat gun to make the Wicked Witch version of the Emporer - Melted into a puddle of Goo!

As it stands he's definitely the butt sucker of the wave (repacks aside).


Perfect poetic summary of him. It would be nice if they had a Piett, Motti, Tarkin repaint head varients. That would make better use of the static body.
Get rid of the Holo & personalized stand for knee articulation. The money would be better spent!

In the words of Cameo: "Word up!"

I need more..........

Really hope some of the rumored OT figs make an appearance.  Especially:

BG-J38
Bom Vindim
CZ-3


Nice list of the backround scrubs that have not had the plastic treatment.
I hope the 2007 30th brings about the guys you listed.

Heroes and Villians scare me. Saga wave 3 is clogging up the shelves. Kids are not buying them. I hope these do not back the pegs up too. The only thing they have going for them is they are key famous characters and thats about it. 3 waves worth of them is too much especially at a higher price point. Its great to see shocktoopers and Black Pilot but I would bet my figures most forum readers are not picking them up.

I just do not want to miss out on different figures for 100% rehash.
At least recolor the clone and the Wookie. Then I might buy some.

Thoughts?.......

Lets give the heave ho to the holograms for a price cut!
