Oh man, that's brutal. Once the money changes hands, I never let them touch my stuff. (Yes, that's what she said  )

I have had at least 1 or 2 figures eat it on those %^&*( conveyor belts too. I hate those things!

Hey, I'm looking for some more information on some Clone Wars 2-packs that were released circa 2009, hoping someone can help.

These were all repacks, sold mostly at TRU as I recall, and there were 4 released domestically:

Anakin/R2
Grievous/Battle Droid
Obi-Wan/Battle Droid
Cody/Battle Droid

However, there was also a planned series that followed this which ended up only being released in Europe. These sets had the distinctive red/white packaging. I'm trying to figure out how many of these sets there were, and which ones were unique. So far I have verified:

Grievous/Battle Droid (repack re-release)
Anakin/R2 (repack re-release)
Cody/Clone Trooper (this was seems to be unique as there was no US release with these 2 combined)

I feel like there is 1 that I am missing. Anyone know?

I never had any interest in these but now that the line has ended, it seemed silly to have this hole in my collection. I bought all of the US 2-packs over the weekend but the Euro versions are going to be a challenge.

I recall Pete and Greg had posted about these at one point, so I am hoping one of you guys might remember or have a link.

Thanks!

(ps - these were totally different from the Walmart 2-packs with Jek, Rys, Yoda, Echo, etc)

Got a box load of loose figures at a moving sale, mostly POTF, but some Episode 1, Saga 1 and Tartakovsky Clone Wars as well. Haven't even finished going through the box. Finally got some of the original 90's EU figures, Thrawn,  Dark Empire Luke, Mara Jade,  young Emperor and a Sentinel (had one already, MOC). They are decent, Luke and Palpatine seem less preposed than their comic pack versions (which is why I skipped the comic pack).

Is the Sentinel the figure that was supposedly modelled after Atha Prime?

If so, I still need that.

So....35mm?

Not sure how I feel about that. I generally dig "retro" but I was kinda hoping they would go more the way of the Hobbit in 3D with the enhanced FPS. Or the super-immersive IMAX 3D experience ala Pacific Rim.

I wasn't really missing seeing all those random hairs, pops and other defects marring the image on the screen, y'know?

I snagged a bunch of loose TCW figures off eBay last night for kicks, I was not buying doubles early on to open so I wanted a few for display purposes. I got the 2 Jawas, Kit Fisto w/Jetpack, Space Suit Obi-Wan, and that weird battle droid with the black highlights and BFG, all for about $15 shipped.

I guess some folks are starting to dump their collections because prices have come down a lot and there is a good selection out there.

Awesome! I love this thing, snuck him in the house late last night and will surprise my daughters with it this evening.

They gotta do a Boba Fett now!

Saw these for the first time today at Walmart over lunch...all but Luke anyway. The cardbacks seemed ok, figures looked alright but nothing in this wave I care about.

It's hard for me to see how eBay could side with the buyer if they do end up opening a case. The item description was clear and obvious, you had pictures, and it clearly stated "No refunds".

"I do not want this item don't like" is not likely to be considered a compelling reason to rule in his favor.

He can't really complain that the item is "signifcantly not as described" either which is the usual ploy. They will be able to review the communication history and determine this was just buyer remorse.

The only wrinkle would be if he does send it back to you. Not sure if/how that impact the ruling. They might actually ask you to re-ship it, but I don't see how they could force you.
