It looks like (according to EE case asst's) that the rev. cases of this line are the UGH ones. The first case(without Rev. #) will not have UGH. Hasbro could however ship these out of order with the rev. cases first..it wouldn't surprise me the least.

Anyone else expecting these now like me; was kind of expecting they'd hit this week...

Anyone know a line # of how many of these there will be? At first I thought it would be more limited than the pink droid or McQuarrie stuff but after reading that sale information posted by Infinifett- where they ask you to get 2- I'm feeling these will be easier to get. Thoughts?

Saga Collection '06 / Re: It's Almost May and Saga2 is Still Being Restocked In Place of 30AC
« on: July 16, 2007, 11:24 AM »
It still remains a concern of mine on the sheer number of non-selling SAGA product. At least 1 out of 4 WM stores in my area placed all the SAGA figs in a clearance isle for 4$ each. The numbers and types for the SAGA pegwarmers reflect Doc's list with one exception I'd add 2-5 'QTIP head jedi's per store to the mix.

My local Targets don't seem to have the problem near the scale of WM's as far as SAGA pegwarmers(they possibly have between 3-10 total per store) this is likely due to the lower volume of figures their stores receive when compared with WM.

Still, with Legends figures coming..and only 20 of the 60 TAC released to date I don't anticipate seeing all the new TAC waves on the shelves due to all the congestion :P.

Which ones did you see there Rob? Was the tie crawler in?

What is the vehicle in the background of the BD troop transport set? I don't recall that one from the movie.

I'm going to be flat out pissed if this leads to Lucasfilm killing GG's license.  And I don't think it's as impossible as the people at RS think.

As will I be. No more animated maquettes as a result? Yeah, you betcha I'd be mad too.

Jesse, talk about the topic? I did, along Nicklab's lines, earlier mentioned here

Against LFL about a licensee?? Seriously, if I thought that would even remotely possibly make any kind of dent I'd be in

Sure it seemed pointless to me too, I guess I just don't let it go too easily when I'm incorrectly accused of things and when statements are made that are false. The Forum owner asked me to get the facts straight - which was all I was doing anyway - when I read the 2 statements he placed in one sentence (the facts) and the fact that the other site was even mentioned, oh..and combined with the fact that he should have just posted the letter here without even talking about the other site could have saved ALOT OF CONFLICT in this thread.

I'd like to talk now about the point Paul made which I believe is a valid one. While I initially believed a signed letter would not help at all; Paul's point that it could hinder things is quite believable. So I would like to 'modify' my stance on the issue to be 'a letter would do no good but could possibly do harm or hinder the current state of the licensee's issue'.

Create a stir...
So, that's what you come up with?

I probably was thinking the same thing Jeff was when he read your initial post as well. Why not save the folks some time? Thankfully Chris has done this now for folks.

To me referencing that site seems in some way to be advertising or giving props to them- not a stir to be clear- it's my opinion.

Also when you say you've been a member to something for that many years then try to soften it by saying you only posted a dozen times(you've obviously done your homework here and know alot of people here don't like their forums or management)- yeah..in the same sentence... it DOES make my eyes roll to be honest. Decypher? It sounds like you do alot of reading there.

So you respond with.... Oh 'it's Slothus being stirful'..interesting.
So, you say you're a member of ton of websites...moderating..reviewing..yadda,yadda. If this were true then I could guess you've participated in much forum? So, as soon as anyone has ever said anything conflicting to you or had a different POV on something did you view them as stirring it up? Just wondering
It sure is appearing that way after your reply. Please remember it's a forum and folks don't always agree or respond in ways you'd expect..but, you probably knew this right because all of your stated experience?

Can you imagine if we all agreed..talk about a bunch of robots.

to clarify...I'll be getting 2 boxes per 'set' shipped to me Adam? UGH- shipping..I suppose I could do a store pick up for them.

Thanks Adam,
Sounds like if I go to your wherehouse and get them AND bring the coupon from my quarterly catalogue I get minus $10 in shipping!!!! ;) :)

DS

That's a big NOT!! I just got off the phone with EE customer service. I was told by them that $10 SPRING CATALOGUE IS NOT ALLOWED for this 'mystery pack'. The spring catalogue coupon HAS EXPIRED so that now only the free SPAWN action figure applies with over 80$ spent and free STIKFAS mouse pad as part of the summer catalogue deal. <great I sooo needed a spawn toy and stikfas mousepad ::)>. Of course I asked for Adam to confirm since I got different info from him here..but alas, he was gone for the day.

Not only that but I also turned up a important note that EE claimed these to ship Oct/Nov. Since EE claims there WHSE is moving to Texas by then. That'd be one helluva drive to Texas from SOCAL for a willcall pickup :P!

(but I should note we do have a $10 off coupon code on some of our catalogs if you have one of those around your home.  I think it's off an $85+ order, so if you're ordering two sets anyway it's almost like free shipping.)

10$ off coupon = EE cs says NOPE

Quote
(And if you do a will call pickup, it's $0.)

EE says their WHSE is moving this summer, so no, that's no longer a feasible option either ::)


I guess I get a free figure for the dog to eat and a mousepad :P

Sometimes peopel have to put aside their differences for the "greater good" so to speak.

No, we don't

In this case it's all of we collectors making a statement to LFL, not just scummers.

I'm not a scummer myself. I've een registered there for several years and I think I've posted there maybe a half dozen times total.

When I said 1 at a time I meant 1 different item at a time...I'm well aware of the 1 per customer rules.

Our shipping costs are based on prices, not weight/volume/number of boxes.  If you order $140 worth of comics, $140 worth of statues, or $140 worth of toys, your shipping charges will always be the same.  In your case, if you do Super Saver Shipping for $134 worth of exclusive figures, you're looking at $15.95.   (And if you do a will call pickup, it's $0.)

If you order two "sets", you'll get 4 boxes with 7 figures per box.   I believe Omega, Rav, and Llats are in one box (with 4 other figures) while the two white Clones (and 5 more figures you haven't seen yet) are in the other.

Thanks Adam,
