The Sequel Trilogy / Re: Disney Buys LFL

They are firing people who actually do their jobs well, yet Hasbro continues to bask in impunity. They are the worst managed thing associated with Star Wars right now and yet operate without any fear of reprisal or accountability whatsoever.

Saw a bunch of Walmart DVD 2-packs at Tuesday Morning yesterday, but they were all the Ahsoka/Clone sets. None with Obi-Wan. Weird. Still $7.99.

Got my variant Boss yesterday...damn, he is sweet. Probably the last Clone Wars figure I will ever buy that I didn't already have.

Green and yellow >>> blue

I want to own a copyright to a comic character and not allow anyone to re-imagine it.

Today I finally picked up the Warriors and Droids Euro-exclusive Warriors and Droids multipack. It was a pretty penny but what I considered to be one of the very, very few remaining "gaps" in my collection. (The only other one now is the English language version of the Special Value 3-pack with Grievous, Obi-Wan and Cody)

The Warriors and Droids multipack is all repacks of single carded figures, very similar to the Legends of the Clone Wars multipack, but a cool offbeat novelty nonetheless, IMO.

He offered to refund the cost of the item minus shipping and let me keep the figure, or have me ship it back at my own expense and he would give me a full refund. Which I still maintain is unfair because it obligates the buyer to shell out additional $$$ over an issue which was in no way my fault. If I had opened a case and made a big stink about it I might have gotten some traction, but it wasn't worth the headache to me. I just kept the figure and took the partial refund, I guess I can sell or trade it off to try and recoup some of the lost dollars.

The Wookiee Arcade / Re: Star Wars 1313
« on: April 8, 2013, 04:39 PM »
I think some people are freaking out because they see this as Domino #2 in Disney's scorched earth policy towards all things Star Wars that are not Sequel Trilogy related. First came the Clone Wars franchise, animated division, etc, and next will be Dark Horse and all the comic continuities. God only knows what comes after that. Hasbro? Internet fan sites?

I can sympathize, but it does sound like the situation with 1313 was a lot more muddled to begin with.

All I know is when I go down there in October I am building one of everything and throwing 'em all up on eBay like Adam Pawlus told me to. Cha-ching!

Picked up a second Boss with orange backpack from the UK off of ebay yesterday, hopefully the seller sends the right one this time. I did verify before paying, so chances are good I think.

Yay, I picked up the Michonne & Pets Bloody B&W 3-pack today from TRU. And I had a coupon for 20% off so I got it for $31.99 to boot. Good stuff.

The Black Series 3.75" / Re: Realistic Clone Wars Wants?
« on: April 5, 2013, 08:56 AM »
Part of me is still bitter enough to never want to see any Clone Wars figures made in a non-animated style, but the practical side of me says better that than nothing.

So yeah, I'll play. First off I would have to eliminate any sort of human likeness because Hasbro does such a poor job with these in their realistic lines, IMO.

There's a galaxy of great non-human or armored characters they could still do though:

Trench
Krell
Bo-Katan
Reiko Hardeen
ALL the bounty hunters from The Box
Nightsisters
Spider Legs Maul

That's my short list I guess.

Three cast members promoted to "Regulars"

Who is "Sasha"? That lady with Tyreese? Is she his sister or love interest? I never really got that.

This is the part I liked: In addition, Melissa Ponzio, who appeared in four episodes of the series this year as Karen, will return for Season 4 as a recurring character.

She is really, really cute IMO. She could fill in well for Andrea.
