Original Trilogy Collection / Re: New Vintage Assortment of 12
« on: February 27, 2004, 01:51 PM »Stormtrooper is replacing Han Solo in the ROTJ assortment.
Ugh.
At first I was disappointed that the Stormtrooper wasn't included, but then I was relieved that Stormtrooper wasn't in there because if he were I'd want to Army Build him.
Now, he's in. It's probably the world's greatest Stormie and he'll be limited to find and $10 a pop.
I'll still want as many as I can find though...

Wow. I really thought they'd be two figures.
Kudos, Hasbro! Of course, I still think it's weird to get a free head and arms as "accessories...
I'll probably still buy two so I can have one of each pose set up on the shelves. I'm such a dork.

JD Sports Forum! / Re: NHL '03-'04
« on: February 27, 2004, 11:59 AM »Do note this all comes with a major heaping of sour grapes. Being from Winnipeg where we averaged a meagre 12,500 fans per game (by the way that's butts in the seats, not tickets given away) it's really annoying to tune into what should be a really good game in Carolina or LA and see 60%+ of the seats sitting empty on a Saturday night.
It is kinda sad to think that 12,500 fans in Winnipeg wasn't enough to make money, but 6400 in Tampa is? Huh? The dollar isn't THAT strong.
Unless some serious negotiations start in June the only Hockey I'll have next fall will be the World Cup of Hockey matches... and College Hockey... and High School Hockey... hmmm. Maybe it won't be so bad after all.
Jeff
ps
Better luck next year boys.
Wild bright spots for 03-04=
Daigle's return to the NHL and Rolie's All-Star gig!

Saga '02-'04 / Re: New List at Rebelscum
« on: February 27, 2004, 11:44 AM »Quote
Other than that, I'd rather not have another rehashed Jedi Duel against Maul collaboration.
I feel pretty confident that this 4-pack will at the very least contain a Maul figure... After all, the only Maul scheduled for 2004 so far has been in the Hall of Fame assortment version.
Considering the fact that without a MAJOR re-write of the OT, there's no way they can re-pack Mauly for OTC; nor can they stick him in the TRU Jedi Council scenes.
Ergo, they're gonna stick a Maul in the 4-pack. After all, you can't expect us to go a whole year with only ONE Darth Maul, right?

Saga '02-'04 / Re: 2004 NEW NEWS ON SANDCRAWLER
« on: February 25, 2004, 01:55 PM »Mikey, ya gotta know that Naboo four pack will be JarJar, Boss Nass, Captain Tarpals and a battle droid
Hmmm...
There are so many ways it could go:
JarJar, Nass, Tarpals, Droid
Padme, Typho, Nute, Rune
Ani, R2, Droideka, Battle Droid
Padme, Obi-Wan, Ani, Qui-Gon
but it's probably:
Darth Maul (chopped in half)
Qui-Gon Jinn (1st version)
Obi-Wan Kenobi (1st version)
and either Pilot Anakin OR Padawan Anakin
with some cheezy accessory from the Episode 1 accessory packs.
Again, just my $0.02 cents worth of speculation.

Original Trilogy Collection / Re: Figures You Wouldn't Mind Seeing Recarded?
« on: February 25, 2004, 01:39 PM »Figures I don't mind seeing re-carded and shipped again on new card style:
PotJ Sandtrooper
PotJ Scout Trooper
Clone Wars Clone Trooper (Super Articulated)
Saga Snowtrooper
CommTech Stormtrooper
In my opinion, these guys should be released every so often. They are the true army builders and I wouldn't mind having more opportunity to buy them over and over.
That's just me though.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: 2004 NEW NEWS ON SANDCRAWLER
« on: February 25, 2004, 01:31 PM »Who are Ickath, Chema and Sta Sta? Poor spelling aside, I could figure out the rest (Sae Sae = Saesee Tinn and Adegalia = Adi Gallia) Those I don't know.
Well, my leading theory is that :
Ickath = Eeth Koth (say it fast and smuch it together)
Chema = Coleman Trebor (combine the ol into an h to get Cheman)
Sta Sta = Stass Allie (2 Stas = STAss)
That way Eeth would be in an Ep 1 scene with Plo and Obi-Wan, while Scene Number could be an Episode TWO Council Scene with Stass Allie, Shaak Ti, and Coleman Trebor.
Of course, this is all based on my ability to decipher overseas butchered spelling, so I could just be full of it and those are some little known Bear Clan kids. What the hell do I know?

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: KBZ jokes on GNT at scum
« on: February 24, 2004, 05:31 PM »
Wow.
What a thread!
I, too, dislike GNT.
His style, his attitude, his "stay on topic every 5 posts" posts, his blatant re-posting news from other sites where he basically starts a thread on every news item then locks all other threads on the subject.
The thing that bugs me most though is when he pulls something out of his @$$ (Ewok Mom w/Woklings, etc), passes it off as fact/truth (usually going so far as to claim another non-scum site said it first when usually site B never said it) then ignores any critisism when he is wrong.
There are countless examples of times he states something as true when he has NO factual basis for it. Then, when he is proven wrong (OTC) or told he has things backwards, often his tactic is to delete the post that proved him wrong and edit his original post so it looks like he was right all along, thus ignoring the whole thing as JesseJames stated earlier.
ADMIT IT WHEN YOU ARE WRONG, MAN!
If you pull things out of your @$$, you are gonna get it wrong. At least be a man and say "Geez, I guess I was wrong: OTC and vOTC are different lines". Unfortunately, all we ever get are "Whatever, it's all still Saga anyway" answers at best.
Between him and Curto's "Look at this new Figure! Oops! It's a custom. Gotcha!" crap, I barely look at 'scum anymore, only to compare big things like ToyFair or the Convention coverages, then I check out all the big sites.

« on: February 24, 2004, 04:09 PM »Holy crap, that setup is amazing!But where the hell's the opposing army...?
Uh... I think they all ran away after being severly out-numbered.
Or maybe they are all dead?
I've got 50+ clones now, and they are only a faction of that picture.

Original Trilogy Collection / Re: "Vintage" OTC Figures - Are You/Have You Preordered These?
« on: February 24, 2004, 04:07 PM »
Sadly, I think I'll need 3 sets:
1) To Keep Carded, to display on my wall next to the very few other Carded Vintage I own.
2) To Open, toplay with display in my loose collection
3) For Work.
Man, I'd love to have a Super-Han and Super-Chewie both at HOME and at WORK toplay with er display.
It's a sickness I know.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Anyone ordering the Jabba's Palace case from Newforce?
« on: February 24, 2004, 03:55 PM »
I have all of the following on pre-order from them:
Hall of Fame Case
Saga Ofee/Secura/Padawan re-pack case
Yavin 4 wave
Star Destroyer Wave
Endor Wave
At the same time I ordered these, I ordered the "Brown Coat" Han wave with repacks of Fett, Ani, Luke, Vader, and Snowtrooper.
Well, I got the Hoth Han re-pack case on Monday (that's yesterday), so it looks like they are actually getting new product shipped to them again. (and I got my minty-fresh Brown Coat Han).
I also have received the Tatooine Wave from them recently too... that's a good sign they are getting SOME stuff in and makes me worry a little less about the other waves too.

« on: February 18, 2004, 10:52 AM »Now rumors are flying that Maddux may be coming to the Bronx.
Heard that, too.
Unless Steinbrenner just overwhelms Maddux with loads of money, I think it's just Boras (Maddux's agent) trying to start a bidding war.
I guess Boras knows what he's doing... the Cubs upped the offer so now it's pretty much a lock Maddux will be going back to Chi-town.
Well, the Twins didn't get A-Rod, but at least we signed Dougie-Baseball to another couple years at First Base for us...
