They really are tough to open. I always use a knife and try to cut through the bubble without tearing the card too much and then put the card away somewhere. I don't know why really, since I'll probably never do anything with it, but they're just so hard to throw away.

I like the looks of the Battle Droid commander but I always feel kinda ripped buying clone wars battle droids when they can release the movie versions in 2 packs in Saga Legends (which are now the more articulated model) Shame they can't do that here as well.

You probably get this a lot, but that's an unbelievably impressive collection. Having those background images on the shelves really adds a lot to the display, what are those,  just print outs stuck on?

I'm still wondering if maybe that is Bastila. She was feeling creative and decided to dye her hair or something. I hear ya on the Sith guy looking very Vaderish though. Do all sith end have to end up with some kind of robotic prosthetic? And for that matter why are they always human or humanish? Wheres the big bad Talz lord of the sith?  Or the Rodian sith lord? Do human generated force powers just overpower force powers from any other race or what?

I dunno if the wash varies from figure to figure, but the wash on mine seems pretty subtle. You can tell it's there, but she doesn't really look like she's been rolling around in the dirt or anything. I like it myself. Brings out all the little folds and details in the costume nicely I think.

My only real question is, why are Han's legs always so skinny?

Why has Han's face not looked like Harrison Ford on 95% of his releases?

Yeah, I thought they nailed it on the original VOTC Han, that was the best likeness we ever got. I don't see why they don't just keep reusing that head for every Han release going forward.

Managed to get mine through after a while. The site seems especially buggy today, lots of weird things happening like the site auto refreshing as you're scrolling down to press the complete order button. I guess a lot of people are still seeing the SDCC items as coming soon after the WSOD.

I'm gonna try to get Orko tomorrow, but I don't think I'll be too unhappy if I miss him, they'll put him out again eventually. Honestly, I'd be happy if I could just buy Orko, I have little interest in Adam, never cared much for the concept of the character myself, just way too Superman for my tastes. If I could just buy the little guy for like 8-10$ or somthin, that'd be cool.

So for everyone that got one, how would you rate the new 3P0 compared to the older releases? I've been using the ROTS one forever now and am trying to decide if this new version is worth the upgrade.

I think I may order this from Brian's Toys. How much will this be at C5? does anyone know?

I was just browsing the Celebration V exclusives flyer and it said this thing is gonna be 14.99. Same as the Camie/Fixer set. Not too shabby.

Sounds like a nightmare for the legal departments. I guess it'll be something of a miracle if it ever happens, which is a shame. I wonder what the creators of these characters would say about it all, would they be all for seeing them on the big screen together? Would they want a crap load of money for it or it's a no go? Or would they even care one way or another?

I'm gonna skip the single carded release and try for the battle pack version instead, since it also includes a drone.

As far as Bats goes, odds are he'll get another reboot after Nolan's 3rd installment, so maybe they can do something with that version. As far as I'm concerned though, they shouldn't even bother with a Justice League movie unless they can at least get the big 3 involved. Supes, Bats and Wonder Woman are a must. Wierd about all the licensing stuff though, I thought WB owned most of em since they always appear under that banner. Are the rules different with animation or somthing? There seems to be no trouble mixing characters together in animated form.

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: CW "ARC Troopers" Battle Pack

I do agree that there seems to be way too many flavors of clone armor, and lets face it, it probably is a marketing thing to sell more toys. On the flamethrower troops though, one could say that maybe their armor is different because it's specially designed with heat resistant, flame retardant properties to protect them from high temperatures as well as allowing them to cause high temperatures. Maybe sometimes they're sent on missions to get deep inside an area and light it up from the inside, like maybe sneak inside a Geonosian hive or something and fry it from inside. The special armor could help their chances of escape afterword. And maybe they're reddish because Geonosis is? Might be just a camo for that specific planet to help them blend in better? Of course, one might also question the logic of having a loose piece of cloth like a skirt hanging off you when you and you're buddies are spewing flames every which way.

The soldier dude would be cool, maybe that Mando girl from the original trailer. I suppose we'll see all sorts of cool designs when the actual game comes out, so there might be all kinds of neat things to choose from. A shame this is a MMORPG, it looks like it's just begging for some core characters and a deep story. Shame that the trailers probably have more plot and character than the game will.
