So far, I am happy with Vader and Yoda.  I opened up my extra set (thanks Scott!), and thought I'd do a mini-review.

Vader: Excellent.  Great articulation, although his shoulder joints are a bit strange, not quite the normal ball-joints them seem to be different.  I love the flowing cape, and I must be lucky because my Vader's chain stays down.

Yoda:  So far, he ranks only higher than Luke in my vOTC rankings.  Not quite the right color and a little bit tiny compared to other Yoda figures.  I love his individually sculpted legs though!  First time they tried it and his legs seems so skinny and alien.  Very good.  The rest, eh.

Han is still my favorite though...

Since our VOTC thread is getting so huge, I thought I'd abuse my new found Mod skillz and spin off separate threads for the ESB wave and the RotJ waves...

My first deal with Robert has gone extremely well!

He sent through the MO faster than some people send PayPal payment!   

A+ trader in my book.

Not that I really need it anymore after finding most of the figures at retail, but here's a copy of an e-mail I got today from EE:

"Thank you for ordering from Entertainment Earth. We are sending this e-mail to you because we have been notified by Hasbro that we will not be receiving any additional shipments of Original Trilogy Basic Figures Wave 9, (Item HS84715M), due to the fact that the manufacturer has discontinued this item for production at this point in time. The item has been removed from your order.  You will be given a $5.00 credit to be applied to future orders to reflect the change in the cost of shipping.

Supply on Star Wars – The Original Trilogy Collection action figures has been very tight.  Hasbro has severely limited production on these items."

I wonder how many other cases/pre-orders will get axed too?

I just sent Jeff a list of players for my next pick since I won't be here all day

By the power granted to me by the Wise OCB, he selects:

Fred Taylor, RB


On to Dave/jokabofe...

Jeff

I agree, Brian.

The OTC package makes it look that much better and the character selection is great... too bad the figure selection rots. 

Jeff

Thought I'd post this here since they are officially OTC now...

Check out the pictures from the front page!

Well, wave 2 of the cup sets is up for sale on eBay, so I guess that means that the odds are now in favor of these showing up at retail.

Granted, we all remember the Saga Cantina sets, but the future looks bright for these three cup sets!
