Found Series 2 Marvel 3.75" figures yesterday at a Wal-Mart here in Minnesota (Bloomington store).  All they had were: figure #1 - Spiderman and figure #2 - Wolverine.  The weird thing was they had 4-5 of each one, so I don't know if they had multiple cases or what or if the figures pictured on the back of the cards are even out yet.  I had not heard Series 2 was even coming out, so I was very surprised. :o

A local Marshall's had the M.A.S.S. Device packs 3, 4, and 5 for $14.99 each.  Not sure if this is noteworthy since I don't collect Joes but thought I post anyways just in case. 

I bought all three of these at a Marshall's here in Minnesota a few weeks back and have seen them at other Marshall's and T.J. Maxx's.  These sets are super awesome and are well worth $14.99 each. :) 8)

Good to see the Dolphins sweep a much hated division opponent like the Jets. :)  Glad they put Ginn Jr. back at kick returns, (which is what he is best at) since he sucks as a wide receiver. :P  We play the Patriots next, should be a good game!  Hopefully we come out on top.

Being a Miami Dolphins fan, I thought the part where the Japanese killed the Miami Dolphins players was hilarious! :D ;D

I wasn't expecting my Dolphins to beat the Saints, since I figured Drew Brees would pass like crazy on our craptastic secondary (which is what happened in the end).  The way we lost is what sucks, since we were up 24 - 3 in the 2nd quarter and ended up losing. >:( ::) :P  Oh well, hopefully we can take care of business against the Jets again this week like we did a couple of weeks ago. :)

Yep, I know the CostCo deal is only going to appeal much to non-opening MISB collectors like myself. I normally loathe repacks too but the one last year just really appealed to me for some reason. (Window packaging is pretty cool)

And yeah, I know it's a stupid rant given everything else that has been going on recently with TLC stuff, but it's just frustrating having no idea when to expect stuff you know has been ready to ship for months now.

Sooner or later it's bound to get better, it's not knowing when that keeps me on edge.

First I've heard about the Costco Turbo Tank being canned, that sucks! >:( :'(  I was looking forward to getting that very much! >:( >:( :'( :'(  I have the AT-TE exclusive from last year and it is one of my all time favorite sets that Hasbro has ever brought out. :)  I love windowed box stuff and this is one of Hasbo's best ever!  Very cool and a great value for the price! 8)

Does anyone know what case assortment figure # BD24: General Grievous is in?  

It is a mystery at the moment... hopefully we will get an answer tomorrow during the Hasbro Q&A as I know at least 1 site asked about it.

Cool, thanks for the info Jeff!  I was hoping that someone would ask Hasbro about it in the Q&A.

No BD24 Grievous is coming.  From the Q&A at Han's Hideout:

He was indeed dropped, leaving a hole in our figuring number system. This was in response to needing to shift a bunch of assortments around - we just couldn't fit him in. As such, there will be no BD24 issued.

Thanks again Jeff.  I did read this on Yakface.com.  It kind of stinks that they dropped it, but at least it is one less repack to buy. ;D :)

Does anyone know what case assortment figure # BD24: General Grievous is in?  It is pictured on the back of the repack figures from wave 9.5, but is not in that case assortment (from what I can tell).  I looked it up in Yakface.com's toyguide and they say it is in the wave 10 assortment, but when I checked it on Entertainment Earth and Big Bad Toy stores web sites he is not in any assortments that are out now or upcoming.  Has this figure been canceled or what?  I know it is just a repack, but I buy the repacks from the Legacy collection, so I was wondering what was going on with this. ???

Picked up all of the 3 3/4" size figures (except Uhura, which I have not found yet  :() at different local Targets in Minnesota for $1.74 each, the bridge playset for $6.24, and the transporter room playset for $7.48. 8)  I waited for them to hit final markdown and it paid off. :)  Well worth it for these prices! :)

Man I wish I could have seen that game last night, it look like a very good one.  I work the night shift so I don't get to see or hear the Monday night games at work, unless the Vikings are playing. :P  I am glad that my Dolphins are finally starting play good (except the defense) and Henne's play is great and shocking. :) :o  When Pennington was lost for the year I thought we would be in trouble with a 2nd year guy like Henne in there, but so far so good with him at quarterback. :-\

Vintage Kenner / Re: Latest vintage acquisition

That's awesome...I can't even find comics I want at comic conventions anymore, much less vintage figs.

What was the "ballpark" price of these items if you don't mind sharing?

I nabbed a replacement Death Squad Commander over the weekend on eBay but otherwise it's been pretty slow going for my vintage collecting lately.

$100 for the A-Wing Pilot and $150 for Warok. :'(  I did some checking on the prices online and that is about what they sell for and they are in very nice condition. :)

Picked up a carded POTF Warok and a carded POTF A-Wing Pilot at a comic book show on Saturday.  Paid a little more then I would have liked to for them, but I am very happy to add them to my vintage carded collection. :) 8)

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: CW Y-Wing Starfighter

My current thinking on this is that the show will end with Ashoka no longer being a Padawan and going off with her own troops. They are NEVER going to show her dying on the show. Captain Rex will offer to keep an eye on her for Anakin and ask to transfer to Ashoka's squad as their commander. Then when GL finally releases ROTS on BR, we'll get a new Order 66 scene where Ashoka is taken out by Captain Rex wearing the ROTS style armor - which after the cartoon being on for three or four seasons would make that scene incredibly powerful.


That sounds great. I'm going to be really disappointed if this isn't what happens now. The Order 66 scene(s) are so powerful already and that would just top it off.

I really like that idea too, but I don't think we'll see the last part about a SE scene.  The rest of the ending you've laid out would still be great though.

I really like this storyline too!  I think it would fit in the movie perfectly and answer the question of what happens to Ashoka.
