Looks like EE is now taking pre-orders for a "different" set of Clones... probably the v2 set with White/Gray troopers:

"Hasbro has informed us that this Clone Trooper set may be different than item number HS85726 / HS85553B1. Clone Troopers and exact sculpts subject to change"

Individually:
Star Wars Episode III Evolutions Pack 4: Clone Trooper = $26.99

By the case:
Star Wars Episode III Evolutions Wave 2 Rev. 2 Case= $104.99

So,
wave 1 = 4x Anakin,
wave 2 = 2x Anakin, 2x Clone #1
wave 3 = 2x Clone #1, 2x Sith
wave 2, rev 1 = 4x Clone #1
wave 2, rev 2 = 2x Clone #2

Does anyone have a difinative wave/rotaion list for the general release BP's?

I know wave 1 was 4x Jedi Vs Sith and wave 2 was 2x Jedi Vs Sith and 2x Jedi Vs Seperatists. Is wave 3 2x Jedi vs Seperatists and 2x Rebel vs Empire?


That sounds about right and it matches what EE has for wave 3...

Wave 3 Case:
2x Rebellion vs. Empire
2x Jedi vs. Separatists.

Maybe since the 2005 Holiday Figure is such a train wreck, you might get a lot of action on your set...

Well, I wasn't the high bidder for very long...  :(

Maybe I'll have to try again later.  ;D

The #6 clone sucks

Of course it does.

You know, I really don't have a problem with the #6 Clone.  Sure it has a goofy action feature and the #41 has more articulation, but I kinda like the #6 version - it looks good on my shelf and is posable enough to get my troopers into different poses so they don't look the same onthe shelf.   It could have been a heck of a lot worse...  :)

But, I guess we'll see what happens. I'm going to post a blurb about it on the front page here with a link to the auction, and then I'm going to email all the other websites about it, with a link to the auction, and we'll see if they post it on their front pages as well. Keep an eye out for it  ;)

Consider the bidding underway... I always wanted a nice weathered custom figure! ;)

An Update...

My iPod is now well over a year old and I can't remember how I ever got along without it.  It still amazes me that I can carry my entire 250+ CD collection around with me where ever I go! :)

As a result of me using my iPod pretty much daily for a year, my wife is now considering picking up her own iPod to use while walking/working/travelling/etc.  She's leaning towards the newest guy in the Apple family... iPod Nano. 

Anyone have any reviews on the iPod Nano?

Is it just me or is this guy looking a bit better in the new Hasbro photo?



Less metallic and purple-y, more black and gray?  I guess it's just the lighting difference.  I'm still not exactly thrilled about shelling out $20 for one fancy clone....

I wonder if the Yankees are more likely to go through the Red Sox (1/2 game back) to take the AL East or go through the Indians (1 1/2 back) to take the wild card.

Well, if the Indians keep playing the way they are (especially beating up ChiSox last night), I think it'll be the White Sox that are on the outside looking in at Cleveland, Boston, and the Yanks...  :P

I can't believe that the Sox had a 15 game lead over Cleveland/Minnesota in August, and now it's down to 2.5 games!  Plus, I'd say that Cleveland has an easier schedule remaining...

Cleveland has the following 10 games left:
Chicago White Sox - 2 games
Kansas City - 4 games
Tampa Bay - 3 games
Chicago White Sox - 1 games

While Chicago has these 11 left:
Cleveland - 2 games
Minnesota - 4 games
Detroit - 4 games
Cleveland - 1 games


Too bad the Twins crapped out or they could be in the mix too...  :(

EDIT: Jeff beats me to the punch.   :P

Yeah, but all I had was the pictures of the 501st that I got in an e-mail.  Thanks for the link to the index with the rest of them...    ;)

Man are those Holo figures lame.  I mean, sure I'll buy them (OCD), but that doesn't make them un-lame.  No offense to those that want to re-create a Holo Jedi Council, but I would rather have had Cody or a Mygeeto "Galactic Marine".

edit:  as an FYI, I have spun the #65 off into his own thread since I'm sure that once the word gets around, his #38 Gunner body will be a hot topic of ranting discussion...  ;)

Now that we know the Red Commander's name, we just have to figure out the Green Commander's name.  Also, just to jump the gun, did it happen to say where Deviss was stationed (planet, division, that kind of thing)?

Well, given that the other Green Clone Commander's name is Gree, I'll go ahead and Dub the new Green #33 as Clone Commander Reen.  :P

Let the speculation begin...




EDIT:
These pictures were e-mailed to me, but it looks like they came from a member over at Rebelscum who got the figures early... according to him (he hasn't opened them yet) you can see the AT-TE Gunner head under the helmet and it appears that it is definitely the AT-TE Gunner sculpt.   :-\

Thought I'd bump up this guy up as I'm getting pretty excited... I've got tickets to see tBwOGS* this Friday. 

The tix were my wife's B-Day present (she's a bigger tBwOGS fan than I am) and are on the main floor.  tBwOGS always put on a great show, and having seen the set list on-line (23 songs!), I'm pretty sure that this outing will be no different!

 :)



* = the Band with One Good Song

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Collectors Collections (at RS)
« on: September 19, 2005, 04:55 PM »
is anyone else consistently (and severely) underwhelmed by the collections that RS constantly shows on its front page?

I had a similar thought to yours when I saw this guy's collection featured on the main page a few weeks ago...

Azad Firat's "collection"



I guess it must be hard to be a collector in Turkey... but hey - different strokes for different folks I guess.

You know, with the front page mention (thanks JD!)

You are welcome!   ;)

My figure is progressing a bit slow (I finished up my Pilots whilie I waited for paint to dry on my BH), but I think I should have him done in time for the reveal next week.   :)

Anyone have any recomendations for a nice "tech" backpack?  I was thinking of using a modified Dash Rendar pack, but I don't really like it...
