I picked up the entire set of Courescant figs from one case today. What was interesting is that I got the case and it's marked wave 3.

When I got my Geonosis wave case from New Force it was marked "wave 2.5".

Leave it to Hasbro to use creative numbering... it's not the first time (500th Vader?).   ;)

No UGHs at all, and mine came from a sealed case. The case was "Wave 3". I'll get the assortment # when I'm back home. 1 each of the new figures and 2 Vaders.

Hmmm... I wonder then if what people are finding so far is this case:  Wave 4, Revision 5, which is a case assortment that EE is offering that has 1x each new figure with 2 Vader and 2 #26 Clone.

But, while the first five wave 4 cases at EE (wave 4, wave 4 rev1, wave 4 rev2, wave 4 rev3, wave 4 rev4) all include the "Add some rare carded action figures to your collection!" UGH disclaimer, this Wave 4, Revision 5 case does not mention of the UGH figures included in this one...

So are any of you folks who are finding the Coruscant wave finding the UGH figures yet?

Sounds like lots of folks are finding the Coruscant wave, but no one is finding the chase figures yet?  If that is the case, it sure would shoot a lot of holes in the "2 chase figures per case" theory we had seen...   ???

Yeah, I think it is just a re-pack of the #41 Clone.  Has all the same "damage/scrape" marks on him.

One other thing I noted, I'm glad to see that the #36 Greivous (from the EE pictures) appears to have been replaced by the 4-Saber Greivous (on the cardback).  Much better choice I think since this will be out at the same time as the Target ExpodoGreivous.

Jeff, you can also mix in figures in assorted dioramas though, there's nothing wrong with maybe throwing Karrde into an Outlander Club diorama or something. 

Yeah, you could just stick "Darth Revan" in an Outlander Club diorama or something, I know that. 

My point was that I prefer to get things in groups - I'd rather see a whole wave of NJO Jedi or a whole wave of KOTOR figures that I can display together rather than getting a one-off figure that I have to just stick in someplace because he doesn't really fit in anywhere else.

For example, Scorch is a good figure.  I have no problem that they made him.  But, I would have rather had a wave of Republic Commando figures or a box set of all 4 figures rather than buying the solo Scorch now and waiting for he rest of his squad.  I mean, he looks fine in my Arena scene, but he'd look ever better posed with the rest of his squad.  ;)


Same goes for a number of these figures in this poll... another example:

Why waste a pick on Jaina Solo if we don't know for sure that we'd ever get Jacen and Anakin to go with her?  I could just stick her in my Arena (if she's a Jedi) or my Rogue Squadron (if they do the pilot version), but I'd much rather have the rest of the NJO figures to display with her.

Look at the card back - "This stormtrooper figure was created especially for the Star Wars online shop".  Was last year's SDCC figure (which was who btw?) sold online afterwards?

Yes, Holo Leias were sold at SWShop.com after SDCC was over last year.

Because I've got 30+ shelves and four display tables in my Star Wars room set up with figures and scenes from Star Wars movies; I've got 1 shelf set up for the cartoon figures; and I've got half a shelf where I dump the EU figures Hasbro has made.

I can take an ICMG and display him in my Bespin Cloud City set-up.  I can take Yarna or Hermi and put them in my Jabba's Palace set-up.  Plus, I know who they are.  If I get stuck with Darth Revan, he'll just end up with the other EU rejects like PotJ "Snowjob" Obi-Wan or "Crab-Armor" Maul.

Now, if they made a whole line of KOTOR figures, I wouldn't have a problem with that.  I just think it's kind of dumb to get 1 KOTOR figure and then not the rest - you either make a line of KOTOR figures or you don't.  I don't like the idea of getting them 1 at a time from polls like this.  Same goes for the Solo kids.  I have NO interest in getting "just" Anakin without Jacen and Jaina.  I guess my point is, having a single EU figure from a source is kind of silly to me.  I'd much rather have a whole wave of Young Jedi from NJO than just get one of them in this poll.

Some of those EU figures would be OK since you could display them with figures we already have.  For example:
- Quinlin can be added to an Ep1 Mos Espa scene or something
- Kyle Katarn can go with the other Rebel Kyle and Darktrooper
- a Talon Karrde would have been cool to go with the existing HTTE figures we have - Mara and Thrawn


So, the reason this guy is grousing about the EU figures on the poll is that, for the majority of them, it seems silly to get just one of them when we should be getting a whole line/wave of them.

This seriously seems fishy to me. Anakin Solo above Mara Jade? Quinlan Vos at 23? Come on.

Um, the list is in alphabetical order... those numbers are NOT how they stand at the moment.  You will notice in the magazine that there is no order associated with the picks so far...

Thanks to JD Forum Member Zodach for the scans... 






After writing this up for the front page, I had to stop and ask:
- four EU Sith Lords in the top 25?
- NO figure from ANH?
- only one figure from ESB?
- only three figures from RotJ?  And one of those 3 was a Luke?

Did a little digging and sure enough, there are some in-hand auctions for the corusant wave on eBay.  No proof they came from retail, but if they are starting to hit eBay now, it shouldn't be too much longer before they really are in retail stores. 

There goes the break my wallet was hoping for...  :'(

Woot!

Just finished a "fun" day of receipt reconciling, Quicken updating, and checkbook balacing to prepare for a "fun" evening of tax preparation.  This was our second year with TurboTax e-filing and I will never go back.  It is so much faster and so much smoother to do. 

We managed to pull a refund for both Federal and State, so we avoided paying in, but the refund is small meaning that we guessed right on payroll deductions this year and didn't give the government much of a free loan this year.   ;) 

Looking forward to adding those two deductions to next year's taxes...   :P
