I went to Wally for a price-match last night.

Came back with 3 Geonosian w/Massif, 3 Tusken w/Massif, and an extra Ki-Adi Mundi...

Not a BAD Haul, but there was still 2 pegs full of Lott Dodd, Teemto Pagalies, and some other figure was there that I'm now forgetting but which also was NOT worth purchasing.

Bummer...

2 pegs open though, so maybe my WM will get in SOMETHING new.

I'm still DESPARATELY searching for BOTH Imperial Officer head variants among a wealth of other product that Hasbro and the retailers are hosing me out of.

The Freeze Chamber Guard, I can confirm, is not black...  He actually strongly resembles David Duchovney from the X-Files.

He's cobbled together from parts of other figures...  His body for instance is that of Darth Sidious.  His arms are that of the Complete Galaxy and Target Skiff Luke's (Even has the poseable right hand).

His head's the only new part.  It's a single piece sculpt so the hat's not removeable like the POTJ figure.

Oddly enough, the POTJ figure's got an open jacket which if I remember correctly, NONE of the Bespin Guards in the film had opened jackets.

Just a strange mix-up on Hasbro's part I guess.

There have been rumors of head variant POTJ Bespin Guards that were on tap but never produced.  I'd take a 4 pack of unique head POTJ Bespin Guards though...  That's one of Hasbro's better figures IMO.

I reiterate that it would be AWESOME to see it used in certain instances...  

As was mentioned above, Ewoks...  I'd kill for Teebo to just get re-released over and over with a different deco and a new hood.  New weapons too of course, but that Teebo body is hands down the ULTIMATE Ewok body to use.

I saw a guy post pics of his custom Ewoks (with his custom catapult) and they utilized the Teebo body with unique heads...  They looked awesome.    Hell, I'd buy a 10 pack of those bad boy fuzzballs.

But I also reiterate that this is a trend that can get out of hand, and I do NOT want Antilles and Dodonna sharing the same body...  Hasbro's whacky though, and anything is possible.  

They cut more corners than a company half their size does though, and as a consumer of theirs I find that somewhat offensive...  The sharing parts trend is too new to judge right now, but they've cut corners in areas that didn't necessarily save them money, but maybe saved them some time (Fleet Trooper's helmet for instance).  

I could see that theory of theirs carrying over into this new possibility we've stumbled upon.

But ironically, there's the Imperial Officer body sitting fallow, and we've yet to see Imperial Techs in the grey uniform cranked out en masse...  There's Motti's sculpt lying fallow as well, and yet it's not be reused when we'd likely buy those up for a multitude of reasons (Imperial Officer customs, here I come!)

Like I said, they're whacky.

NFL:

Cleveland Browns of course.
Baltimore Ravens (Byproduct of the Browns).
Dallas Cowboys.

NASCAR:

Any Earnhardt.
Any Chevrolet/GM product (I'm more a ford man myself).
Jeff Freakin' Gordon...  What a putz.

NHL (My favoritist bestest sport on Earth ever, and the only one I played extensively):

Washington Capitals.
Philly Flyers (though I want them to win their current Series).
NY Islanders.
Detroit to an extent.
Colorado to an extent.
Toronto.
Florida Panthers.

I'd love for Boston to go all the way this year personally...  I root for the Penguins in any other situation, but since there was no way in hell we were making the playoffs and we're doing serious rebuilding/restructuring, I'm gonna wish for some good things for normally crap teams.  Boston's my first fave...  I almost wouldn't mind seeing Philly though, as they have gone too long without.  I like Jersey too.

Out west I like the Kings a lot...  That and maybe the Stars, but not much else.  West is just not as competitive I think, and a weaker conference that is riding the playoff wave a few teams have created.  Much more competitive in the East I feel, and that hurts all Eastern teams in the playoffs and even in their race for the playoffs.

I think I'm t he only person disappointed with the R3.  They used that bogus POTJ sculpt instead of the R3-T7 body that has the poseable legs and retractable 3rd leg.

Love that poseable/articulated sculpt.  

This set is as uninteresting as the 4-packs can get to me...  The Imperial one seems to be the nicest.  The Bounty Hunter one doesn't even pique my interest except they really did a smash-up job on that Swoop.  Too bad the figure can't ride it that it's intended for, haha.

This is a set idea that could REALLY be improved though, kind of like their accessory sets for Target.  It's a shame...  Hasbro's got a knack for taking a potentially great success and working it so it'll only be mediocre at best.  

I could whip up 4-packs and accessory sets (and army builders) that would definately appeal to all collectors I think.

Welp, I'm late, but I'm voting...  So tough.

1) New Rebel Fleet Trooper...  Yes, he does suck and needs a new figure.  What's he gonna have?  Well I'm glad I asked because here it comes...

-Removeable helmet with thin rubbery strap (Check out the X-treme Detail paratroopers.  It's 100% feasible!!!)

-Functioning holster with PROPERLY scaled blaster.

-Removeable vest with pliable plastic (Not that rigid job the POTJ figure got).

-3 unique 1970's hairstyled head variants.  Yup, 70's are back and we're gonna get that old fart that dropped faster than a dress on prom night when the stormies blasted in.

-14 points of articulation including a ball/socket shoulder as well as the swivel-pin joint knee.

-And if I did him, he'd get a couple EU accessories like a bandoleir of grenades and a shoulder sachel.

2) Yavin Rebel Technician...  He'd come with multiple articulation points, a removeable tech helmet (Minus the neck piece the soldiers wear), a couple tools, and a removeable headset incase you want him working in the war room.

3) Reissue of the CT Stormie...  Give him some wrist articulation, a working holster, and maybe swivel-pin knees...  Great figure then.

4) Astromech 3-pack (Yeah, 3 figures I know but the thing's done so my vote isn't important anyway).  3 different decos, 3 different heads...  Hell, they could even make variants of this pack and we all know we'd buy them in bulk!

5) Sauron 2-pack...  I want em both from the Cantina.

6) Hem Dazon...  He needs it folks!  First alien in the Cantina we see.  I want him!

7) Cantina Snitch...  I want the human Garof Lafoe...  Goes out, tells sandies about Obi's little incident with the thugs.

Rebel Mid-level officer...  Brown tunic, tan hat with a yellow emblem...  Multiple articulation points, and a removeable hat of course.  Maybe multiple head variants.

9) Rebel Pilot...  3 head variants with 3 helmet variants.  You get Gold Leader, Red Leader, and a non-descript blue emblemed younger pilot with black visor.

10) And finally, drunk jawa 3-pack...  I want drunk jawas by god!

A to-scale Sailbarge would be my choice....  Ultimately it's on my to-do list anyway, so I'd just as soon Hasbro made it if that were an option.

I too agree with Ewok though, and am under the assumption it's not gonna happen.

It's REALLY not as big as people imagine though...  Sizes are all over the board on it in referance material, but the true size (And one in 1:18 scale) wouldn't be unreasonable considering some of the stuff TRU carries.

If it needed mucho assembly (It's gonna be marketed at us, let's face it), then it would really not be that big a shelf item.  The interior's mostly air...  I'd actually enjoy this vehicle a lot.

My 2nd choice would be a to-scale AT-TE...  Much smaller than an AT-AT, and a no frills poseable toy would just be very welcome to me.  

While I don't mind the Sith Infiltrator, it's just not a vehicle I'm interested in...  Then again, not much from E1 is holding my interest anymore.  A Gian Speeder maybe...  Only because I could use it for some custom material.

Welp, that's my vote(s).
