Moving?  Far, or near if I may ask Bob?

I've actually had a gay man (I'm assuming as I was in a gay men's club) do this to me.
He told me if he was straight he would play with them all day. 
I didn't slap him.
I probably should have.
I was probably drunk though.

What an excellent plan!  Go to a bar.  Pretend to be gay.  And play with boobies all night!!

Whoa, slow down...  I gotta find wordpad.

Definitely a good thorough review Ruiner...  I liked it a lot, and you caught a lot of the qualities with this figure.

Something I think I'd note is that I Like that this figure doesn't blow the POTF2 AT-AT Driver so far out of the water that they don't display well togehter.  Unfortunately the OTC TIE Pilot sort of did that to the POTF2 sculpt...  They don't look quite as nice together, but the AT-AT Driver not so much and I see that as a major positive for this figure that the TIE Pilot didn't have.

It's ironic that the AT-AT Driver, who you saw much less of ever in the films, gets more articulation than the TIE Pilot.  I sorta feel cheated on the TIE Pilot now.  He should have those arms for his articulation, no doubt in my mind now.

For me, that articulation on the AT-AT Driver should be Hasbro's minimum standard for 90% of their figures...  Not for figs like Ask Aak, Mon Mothma, or Bib Fortuna...  But for everyone else, yes.  They shoudl then save super articulation for most troopers (AT-AT Drivers aside) like Hoth Rebels, Imperial Snow, Storm, or Scout Troopers, Fleet Troopers, etc...  But for Cantina aliens, Jedi (say a Mace Windu resculpt), or other similar figures, I'd think THAT should be the minimum 12 points of articulation just as the AT-AT Driver has them....  It's a compromise.  And of course "Senator-esque" figures and a select few others get less...  Like maybe a Beru and Owen AOTC/ROTS figures would get less than that 12 point standard, but really any character with action should have that minimum.

It kinda sucks that we have an AT-AT Driver that is better than any Rebel Soldier figure to-date, better than the TIE Pilot, better than any Imperial Officer figure, better than any Rebel Pilot...  When you think about it in those terms, you really start to think of what Hasbro ISN'T doing right with the line if you ask me.

Hey Darth Nuch, welcome aboard of course.

I merged your new thread you started with the older one that your buddy Darth Nirvana started for you.  Saves a duplicate thread basically introducing yourself is all and keeps it to one thread...

Basically if you have any questions you can feel free to ask them here...  Stuff's pretty simple though.

You read topics in various sections of our forum and decide if you've got something to contribute...  If you do, hit reply, type out a response, and join in the conversation.  Nothing to it... 

Again though if you have something you want to ask feel free to ask it in this thread and I'm sure someone (either staff or some of our forum members) will answer for you.

I think Anton's post was meant to bump and see if anyone got the individually carded ones.

I thought either Scott or JediMAC did...  Someone did.

They'd be up there in rarity I would think...  Carded rarity anyway.  They were clearanced at K-Mart but sold steadily well at first.

I'm not a carded guy so I'm sure I don't consider these like the Eopie...  If I were a die-hard carded completist though, I would be SOL on these ones.  I don't think their paint differences were big though if there were any at all, so I'm glad they got released in OTC packaging to K-Mart of all freaking places.  Plus it was great to get them at a store that actually is abundant in my area and close for once...    It's hell having to drive 45 minutes just to get to one Target.

I'm to the point that if they made the U-Piece of the bar I'd be fairly content...  A drink dispenser would be icing on the cake...

The bar itself, I dunno.  The cardboard sets are cool but I probably would never be happy with a plastic counterpart unless it really was made to be "built" upon by someone.  Like Hasbro built it wiht the intention that people would build the rest of the Cantina around it...

Now little sections of the Cantina that include a booth, or the U-bar piece, or the dispenser, or a table w/chairs...  That'd be cool.  It'd be basically supplying you with the detail parts, and if you want the building you just build it yourself.  That'd be a great helping hand I think.

I'm not sure about everything listed but I'd be for most of it...

The question is, would they?  Evolutions and VOTC figures SHOULD be re-released...  I'm not sure what they told Colman at C3, I can't remember, so Scott may be right however at the same time the VOTC Vader appears to be making an appearance, as does R2-D2, so if either of those is re-used I think there's a chance any other could be...

The irony is, the mold is most of the battle...  Once it's produced, it's a fixed cost that can only diminish over units produced and sold, so it's theoretically in Hasbro's best interests to use these sculpts, and there's no real precedent that says they won't (Obi-Wan Pilot re-issue for instance), yet at the same time there's no precedent showing that they'll use these better overall sculpts/action figures again either.  They're all over the board with this.

It's like the two pilot Jedi re-issued at some point...  On one hand you get SA Obi-Wan Pilot with a cloth cloak (yay), and on the other hand you get the 1st duel Anakin re-issued with a cloth cloak (WTF?), and it makes no sense to me...  Why not re-issue the Evolutions Anakin with a cloth cloak instead?  It'd sit in a fighter, it'd complement the Obi-Wan, and god knows the Evolutions sets were hardly easy to find.

I'd be for VOTC and Evolution reissues...  I don't care that I paid $10 for them initially.  I'd gladly buy more of them for $5 most likely.  I know I won't be buying these older, and/or inferior sculpts of figures though.  I just can't afford it or justify it.
