I logged in just to check and I dropped all the way to member #823 from #1404 (or something like that).

I can't say that I love the color sceme though.  I agree with the others who thought it was too bright.

Original Trilogy Collection / EPISODE III SPOILER ITEM

Hi Guys,

I wasn't sure which forum to put this in, but Amazon.com apparently has an Episode 3 item up for pre-order!

EPISODE 3 Toy Item - SPOILERS!!!

It's probably just mis-listed, but this might just be our first Ep3 preview item???

I too, always practice CYA when it comes to pre-ordered figures and still try to hunt them down.

After all, if I find them at retail before my pre-ordered case arrives, I usually sell my extras on-line )once the case arrives) to help my poor Canadian neighbors or otherwise figure-less brethren.  After all, Canadians need love too, eh?

Worst case, I can always return the figures using the receipt from the store from which I bought them.  I'm really not out anything.

Jeff

ps.
I pre-ordered the Yavin case from NewForce and received it in Mid-March.  I just about fell over when Rick and the boys got something before EE!  It's been a while since that happened... Hasbro musta been in a good mood that day.

Imagine what will happen when they get an Exclusive figure or two from Hasbro and 10000 people are trying to order them at the same time

Like, say, oh I don't know...
The Silver Sandtrooper Convention Exclusive?

It will be a NIGHTMARE when that figure is put up for sale on the site...

I'm sure they will work in some crap about how it will be exclusive to Hyperspace members FIRST, then Fan Club Members, etc.

I'm already right there with ya predicting disaster on this one...

Heads Up!

A good friend of mine picked up the cups from wave two today...

He grabbed both Anakin and Hoth Luke Pilot cups sets today at a Target near Madison, Wisconsin (I don't know exactly which one because he didn't say and I don't know Madison taht well anyway).

The case included 2x Anakin and 2x Luke (no Obi-Wan or Maul).

So, I guess they are out there now...

Hall of Justice / DC Pocket Heroes
« on: April 15, 2004, 04:01 PM »
Anyone else collect these?

I do, and I love them.  Sure, they're hard to stand up, they tip over easy, etc. but I really love them.  Great character selection so far.

I finally got a chance to get to the comics book store last night and pick up my Green Lantern box set:
Green Lantern (John Stewart)
Jade
Sentinel (Alan Scott)
Guy Gardner (Yellow Ring)
Green Lantern (Kyle - original duds)
Parallax (Hal Jordan)

I'm a big fan of the Silver Age GLC, so I was pretty stoked to pick this one up.  They look nice with my GL (Guy), GL (Hal), GL (Kyle - new duds), Sinestro, and Guardian.

Anyone else have a craving for DC's Pocket Heroes?

Or am I the only crazy person who buys these...

I have a tendency to file my taxes in February if I'm getting money back, and April if I have to pay. :)

This year, not only did I file in February, but I've already received my refunds from both State and Fed taxes.  It's sitting in the bank to be used in this summers construction project:

A Deck/Patio.

I guess I would rather have paid in this year, it would have saved me from a summer's worth of deck-building :P  

Of course, I'll probably be singing a different tune when I'm sitting on a lounge chair on my new deck, listening to a Twins game on the radio on a sunny August afternoon with a book in one hand and a "refreshing beverage" in the other ;)

On the Wolves:

I must admit that I am VERY impressed.  

A Minnesota franchise (besides the Twins) that actually WINS it's way into a #1 Playoff seed instead of limping into it (a la the Vikings)?  'Bout dang time!

Now that the playoffs are about to get rolling, I think I'll dust off the old "Pooh" jersey and hop on the bandwagon...

Bring on the Nuggets!  Then Sacto!  Then Duncan's Gang!  Woo-Hoo!


On the NBA in general:

The WEST is BEST.  

Utah goes 42-40 and missed the playoffs in the West, meanwhile, they'd be the FOURTH seed in the East  :o

Only 4 Playoff teams in the East are better than .500, 2 are at .500, and 2 are below .500!  How in the hell can you go 36-46 and STILL make the playoffs (Boston)?  What the heck?

Dang, the East sucks.  To me, that makes the T-wolves #1 seed in the West even MORE impressive.

Which Han Solo is that a re-issue of?...looks likes something from the darkest days of Power Of The Fat  :(

It is a Han that is kit-bashed and cobbled together from the CommTech Cantina Han (upper half) and the PotJ Bespin Han (lower half).

GH.com had a pretty good comparison photo here:

« on: April 14, 2004, 02:18 PM »
FYI,

The Red Leader X-Wing now lists as "In-Stock" - ships in 24hrs at TRU/Amazon.com website.

I know this because I also got my notification that my X-Wing is shipping today from Amazon.com, should be her early next week.

So, if you pre-ordered this one, be in the watch for your ship notification e-mail!

Man...

I originally ordered the Star Destroyer wave case and Hall of Fame wave cases from them.  I had no plans to re-place my original order because I've found all of those figures at retail now and no longer need them.

Luckily, I was not interested doing so, because if I had wanted to re-order the mini-bust or Kermit or I'd be suffereing like all of you are.  This is gonna turn out very poorly...

Bad passwords, invalid accounts, double charges, ordering out-of-stock items, invalid order numbers...

Real nice job.  They were doing so well up until now.  I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt after the first debacle, but now I'm seeing that you are gonna have to REALLY want something to place an order with them...

No green Clone Trooper busts?


Nope.

If you recall, they sold out in the first day.  Therefore, they are ALL on hold for 48 hours for those that originally placed the orders.

The only way they will go back on the site will be if someone doesn't replace their order...

So, two days from now, any stock that is unclaimed by those who originally ordered them will be put up for re-sale.

I kinda figured that might happen, but I guess now we can confirm it.  It makes sense since they are holding the original orders though...
