So, according to yodasnews.com, the Sandcrawler is headed to Diamond.

I guess that means it will be available at Comic Shops and the like.

If I had to guess, it would probably end up as a shared exclusive to most on-line sites (like EE and NewForce) since they can order from Diamond, as well as ending up at Media Play/Suncoast like a lot of those Diamond Simpsons sets did...

I hope this pans out to be true.  I always kinda wanted that Sandcrawler.

Hmmm... Actually ON the bases, or just added to the bases with that fancy Ad software?  

It probably is the future of advertising in sports I guess.  I once saw a demo of the software that placed an Ad between the uprights during a FG attempt.  They say it will be here soon.

I don't even like listening to sports on TV anymore.  I usually watch a game and listen to the radio coverage, which isn't quite as bad as TV yet (but catching up very quickly).

It really bugs me when I'm watching a baseball game on Fox and hear them say things like:

"And Jones slides safely into second with a double... and you should be sliding into your favorite chair tonight to catch an all new episode of 24!"

or

"This race is as action packed as any I've seen... but not quite as action packed as the next episode of 24!"

It's annoying to have all the commercials during the game too.  I guess Hollywood is just getting in on the action too...

"And Hundley strikes out swinging.... speaking of swinging, guess who's swinging into theaters on July 2nd!  It's Spiderman!"

Galactichunter.com has a picture of the OTC Slave I:

OTC Slave I

It looks like it is indeed a modified Ep2 Slave I.  The missile launching hatch is still there, but there have been some changes made...

No word on a Carbonite Han Block though

Where's the Pink sweater picture!?!  Come on guys, you're letting me down...

Well, you asked for it.


See what happens why you let amateurs try to photoshop?

Dang.

Interesting to note that 3 of the NFC North's Teams were in the top ten there...

1 - Detroit
7 - Vikings
8 - Chicago

So, while the Vikes got better almost everyone else did too

At least I can take some solace that the only team not mentioned is the Packers, who might even be worse this year.

I, too, am a crappy division-winner chooser, but it never stops me from trying...

AL East: New York Yankees
AL Central:  Minnesota Twins
AL West: Oakland A's
AL Wild Card: Toronto Blue Jays

NL East: Atlanta Braves
NL Central: Chicago Cubs
NL West: LA Dodgers
NL Wild Card: Houston Astros

So far [approx 25 games into the season]:

AL East: Boston Red Sox
AL Central:  Minnesota Twins
AL West: Texas Rangers
AL Wild Card: Chicago White Sox

NL East: Florida Marlins
NL Central: Houston Astros
NL West: LA Dodgers
NL Wild Card: San Diego


Do I win a prize for having two right (AL Central, NL West) so far?

I have yet to see anyone produce a picture of the Red Clone with an actual receit. Even then, that might be doubtful especially if both the standard clone and the red clone share the same SKU. I need to look on ebay and see what is there. That usually helps to confirm.

Well, I've seen THREE reports now that these have hit retail.  All were located in central USA (2 in Kentucky/1 in Tennessee) and all three were found at Wal-Mart....

According to those who have found one, the case =
1x Luke Hoth Pilot
2x Chewbacca
3x Red Clone

They are even starting to hit eBay too:
Star Wars Unleashed Clone Trooper RED VARIANT

It's worth it to note that this auction is from a guy in Tennessee too.  Maybe only the those two states are getting this figure?

It's looking like the Red Captain Clone Unleashed may be the real deal...
