I don't understand why Hasbro doesn't just clear this up and explain what the real deal is.

Hmmm... if only there were some sort of bi-weekly Q&A with Hasbro that the fan sites could use to try to sort all this out.

The next batch of answers is due this Friday (4/13), and I'm sure somebody out there must have asked about the availability of the Droids and just how exclusive they will be. Luke was announced too late for this week, but there will probably be Luke questions/answers in the 4/27 batch.

I ended up with this phone - Samsung SCH-a670:

Well, here we are just a little over 2 years later and my phone died on me.

OK, it didn't really "die", it was just a battery issue (I've had the original battery the whole time). But, since I have the "new every 2" deal with Verizon and I was itching to get something new anyway, I did a little phone shopping this weekend.

After checking out the stuff in my price range, I decided on this one:

Samsung SCH-u740

The two-way flip screen is much easier for writing text messages and e-mail and the larger screen size is much easier on the eyes than my last phone. Also, it's flatter than my last phone, so it fits far more comfortably in the front pants pocket than the old one did. The camera is much nicer too - improved flash, focus and video features too.

I've only had it for 3 days, but I love it.

Sweet merciful crap, talk about exclusives overload - Two exclusive Hasbro offerings, three exclusive Sideshow offerings, five exclusive Gentle Giant offerings. It's just getting ridiculous now...

I like Luke and everything, but I guess I'm just getting more and more annoyed about getting milked another $30-40 plus shipping for another pair of $7 convention figures. $:-\$

Sooo...Luke Exclusive is the Luke from the Vader Battle. I had always assumed Basic Luke would be that LUke...which means. Basic Luke must actually be...GIRL LUKE!

I'm hoping you're right, I'd love "Girl Luke" in order to complete that scene there. We already know about the droids and Chewie, since Han and Luke are rumored for the basic figure line, I hope we get the versions in that pic as the basic figures.

I'm gonna have to see Dice-K abuse someone other than the Royals before I board his bandwagon.

Yeah... ooooh, he managed to beat the Royals. Big friggin' deal. He looked good, but I've seen a lot of bad pitchers (*cough* Carlos Silva *cough*) look great against the Royals. It will be interesting to see how he fares in that first trip to Yankee Stadium, that's for sure.

I'm fairly positive about my Twins so far... but now we see the ugly side. Silva and Ponson vs. the White Sox this weekend? I have a feeling we're going to lose a LOT of games at the back end of the rotation this year if we're force to stick with those two. $:-\$

I miss Liriano...

Man, 7 teams in the West with 100+ points.

Looks like my Wild are headed to a showdown with the Ducks... The guys I split season tickets with are running a playoff lottery today, I should find out about which games I get later today.

Man, I wish my team had been healthier this year... early injuries to Havlat and Gaborik took the wind out of my sails, along with Roloson and the Oilers sucking ass. $:-\$

At least I've still got a shot at fending off JV08 and holding onto the 6th spot so I can declare myself the best of the worst.

the fact that Juliette didn't know what the cloud-monster thing was

Does she really not know what Smokey the Monster was or did she just say she didn't know? The way she was standing there staring at it makes me think she knows more than she's letting on (just like all them dang Others).

Quote from: evenflow on April 5, 2007, 11:14 AM

Anyone else feel nothing was accomplished last night. I think that Juliett being left behind was so that she can infiltrate the Lost camp. Sayid is still my favorite character, he doesn't trust anyone, I love it.

I agree with you about Sayid, he's really grown into a great character. And also about Juliette, lots of reasons to think the Others "left" her behind so she could infiltrate the losties camp and act as a spy - wouldn't be the first, or even the second, time they tried that.

Single carded Galactic Heroes figures? Has anyone heard anything about these?

The only rumor I have heard so far is that they may be some kind of promo/give-away for the kiddies at Celebration IV... that is just unconfirmed speculation/rumor at this point though.

As for the McTrooper - relax, it comes two-per-case in the W1R1 assortment.

Actually, the McQuarrie Trooper is only 1x per case in each of the three cases that he's in:

McQuarrie Stormtrooper:
- 1x per case in Wave 1, Revision 0
- 1x per case in Wave 1, Revision 1
- 1x per case in Wave 2, Revision 1
