I haven't opened a case in a while. Are they still putting the tissue paper in between each card/bubble?

I'm so glad I don't collect figures to keep carded anymore. This is one headache I don't miss.

Well, I batted .500 on that one! Kinda cool, I guess.

Has anyone noticed a trend with almost every Chewbacca that's come out in the past 2 years or so? With the exception of the 25th Anniversary 2-pack, we haven't gotten one with a properly done bowcaster.
-The Mynock Hunt has an action-feature bowcaster
-The POTJ Mechanic comes only with goggles & wedling tool
-The POTJ Dejarik Champion comes with Dejarik table only
-The SAGA Bespin Escape comes with an Imperial Blaster, cargo net, and blasted C-3PO
Weird.

Power of the Jedi / Re: Force Files
« on: April 2, 2003, 03:37 PM »
Well, what Hasbro was trying to do with the force files was to add some value to the overall figure. Before that, the value-added item had been the Commtech chip. In fact, there's a litany of little value added things that Hasbro has tried.
But I think the overiding issue that you can find with those last three waves of POTJ is this: they were probably THE BEST figures that were done in the entire line. To me, that makes up for the absence of the force files.

The later items, mainly the last three waves lost the force files. Most people seem to regard these as a transition towards the SAGA line.
The force files seemed to get a not so great reception. The consensus among most collectors seemed to be "give us more accessories, not more paper".

Clone Wars '03-'05 / Re: New Clone Wars Anakin & Durge
« on: March 29, 2003, 02:42 PM »
Well, having read the new Dark Horse Star Wars: Republic title where Durge makes his premier, he seems like the bad guy you love to hate. And definitely mean! The way they've drawn him makes his armor look somewhat Samurai-like. Reminds me of the Silver Samurai, of X-Men and Wolverine fame.

POTJ was definitely one of my favorite lines. Nary a stinker in the bunch. As for the toughies?
-Masters of the Dark Side 2-pack
-Scout Trooper-Imperial Patrol (clean)
-Sandtrooper-Tatooine Patrol
-Scout Trooper-Imperial Patrol (dirty)
-R2-Q5
-IG-88, as JediMAC mentioned, has become kind of scarce
-Han Solo-Bespin Capture (one of my favorites!) hasn't been hanging around all that much. You can probably get one reasonably
-BoShek
-Teebo
-R4-M9 (this wave in general was tough to score)

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Will '03 see transition cards?
« on: March 29, 2003, 02:28 PM »
Actually, it seems that we're getting transition cards right now. The SAGA card has definitely changed for this year, and it seems to me that they'll be very shortlived since we're going to the Clone Wars packaging and new SAGA style packaging that was shown at the media event.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Screen Scenes: Geonosis War Room and Jedi Council
« on: March 29, 2003, 02:24 PM »Despite the fact they look good (with exception to San Hill), in the back of my mind I've got the itchy feeling I'll never see any of them on shelves...
Anyway, I must say, the best looking figure of them all, in my opinion, is Yaddle. Perfect face sculpt. Mace's plastic top and fabric bottom looks odd, anyone else notice that?
Question = think the Jedi will come w/ sabers?
Uhh, don't you mean Even Piell? Yaddle's not in the set. And the Jedi do not come with lightsabers, FYI.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: recreating the Arena Battle
« on: March 29, 2003, 02:22 PM »Hello all, Iv'e been out of town for a while. How about Ayala Secura and Barriss Offee, were they at the arena? I recall someone stating Ayala was not.
There's a couple of shots where I've seen Aayla Secura. In one, she's kicking a droid. In the other, she's being walked towards the circle of survivors.
As for Barriss Offee, the only shot where I've seen her very clearly was when all the Jedi ignite their lightsabers. You'll notice she's got a blue one

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Pegwarmer of the Year Award
« on: March 29, 2003, 02:15 PM »
Looking at the whole year, I'd say Zam Wessel-Bounty Hunter AND Zam Wessel from the preview assortment have been some of the worst pegwarmers going. Odd, since not one, but BOTH 3-3/4" versions of a Bounty Hunter character haven't sold well.
