Saga Collection '06 / Re: The Future of Star Wars Collecting
« on: June 20, 2005, 10:12 AM »
I would like to see Hasbro start working more of the Expanded Universe into the figures. After all there is only so many Luke Skywalker's, Darth Vader's, Han's, and Princess Leia's that people will buy before they stop buying all together.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: Target Figure with Cup Sets
« on: June 20, 2005, 10:09 AM »
Those who have not picked up the cups yet don't expect too much from Hasbro on them. The figures are repacks of older figures...
Han - The same Cantina figure that has been released 5 or 6 times.
Boba Fett - Quick draw action from the Pit of Carkoo figure.
Yoda - Same as the FLASHBACK slide from the POTF2 set prior to Phantom Menace figures being released.
The cups are nice, but the figures are yet another way of pushing old figures they have sitting around out on the public.

Well it's hard to determine how this thing is powered, but the guy has a big smile on his face, but that is probably because he is sick of dealing with the airline company's just like the rest of us!!!

Blue Saber Palpatine out of a one of the TRU dump buckets. Sitting in the bottom and as I walked up the blue saber caught my eye. As I got a closer look, I realized what I was looking at and started digging though 4 feet of toys to get to it.

Anyone in the Twin Cities looking to pick up the Variant Hulk from the Galactus wave should head over to Shinder in Crystal. As of last night they had 2 of them for $15.

Collections / Re: KNASHDX's Collection

My friend in Chicago got me started on a goofy collection. I am getting a Darth Vader from a TRU in every state I or a family member goes to. My friend started it off by bringing me back a Darth Vader from his honeymoon in Hawaii. So far I have one from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, Arkansas, and Hawaii. I hope to add South Dakota to that list when I am out in Sioux Falls this weekend.
The best part of this collection is that I don't care about the packaging. I just want a figure from the state and I tape the receipt to it to indicate which ones.
Like I said a goofy collection.
To get the Can-Cell and Boga to stay in place I used fishing line and the shelves or brackets to hold them in place. I put a little poster putty on the bottom of one of the Boga's feet to get it to stick to the wall. As for the Luke, it came with that set up and I just made sure that the glass was really clean and there was a little liquid on the suction cup area and it stuck like a charm.
I looked at the lights at IKEA, but I too did not like how hot they got. I saw these lights at Home Depot and they get a little warm, but not hot like the ones at IKEA. You can't see it in the pictures but there is a button on the top left that is the switch for the lights as they have a dimmer option to them. I just tap the button 3 times to get it to the brightest light or I can put it at any level I want.

UPDATED PICTURES!!!
This is the in wall book shelf that was in the room when we baught the house. I removed all the shelving that was in there and the hardware. I then painted the whole thing white, replaced all the hardware, put in the lighting, and put in glass shelves.
Top right shelve is home to all my misc. Jedi Knights such as Mace Windu, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Plo Koon, Shakk Ti, younglings, etc...
Top left shelve is home to all my Darth Maul's, Qui-Gonn Jin's, Mara Jada, Ventress', Leia (Expanded Universe), McQuarrie Stormtrooper, Han Solo's, Sing's & custom C'Both.
2nd shelve on the right is where all the Yoda's & Obi-Wans are.
2nd shelve on the left is where all the Palpatine's, Dooku's, and Grevious are at.
3rd shelve on the right is where all the millions, and millions of Luke Skywalker's are kept. I am very surprised that the shelve is not more full than it is.
3rd shelve on the left is where all the Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalkers call home. Thanks to my Darth Tater I have run out of room.
The bottom most shelve is where all the mix sets that cotain more than 1 jedi on them are put. Thus the Jedi Council, Master's of the Dark Side, 20th Anniversary Obi-Wan vs. Darth Vader, and all the fighting sets from from ROTS.
This weekend I made curtains for my windows in the room. Thanks to a little help from my wife on how to use her sewing machine. I guess there is another thing that "The Boy Scouts of America" taught me; besides the joy of FIRE and playing with knifes.
You can not see the curtains all that well in the bottom picture, due to my Mustafar Playset. That was the only place that I could put it where it would not get steped on or be in the way.
I finally received one of my Darth Vader statues and so one of the blank spots on my Statue wall have been filled.

Unfortunately you can not have those busts. I have 2 more on the way since I placed my preorder to get the ROTS Vader and the ESB Yoda that are due out later this year.

Here is a picture of what the IVAR shelving system looks like. My friend in Chicago uses his for all his Starting Line-Ups and such. Total cost of the Ivar Shelves with lights is $150.
Hope you enjoy

I lucked out that I arrived at a Target store as they were changing an endcap and was able to pick up a Sue for myself.
Scott if I see another one I will grab it for you.

Best Buy had them on their site at 119.99, but if you work for Best Buy or know someone who does work for Best Buy and the store has them in stock you get them for $65. That is how I picked both of mine up.

I just got sucked into the whole .45 scale lightsaber collecting and I am wanting know if anyone has a ultimate list of all the .45 sabers offered.
I got started on this because I work for Best Buy and I thought that I would pick the sabers up and go from there. Then I lucked out and when I got home I was surprised to see that the Sidious saber was the gold one. That has only fueled my desire to put the set together.
