I got back from the lil lady's this evening after we took a tear to see Robots...  Part of me had the intent of seeing the Trailer only, and the movie was just secondary...  The movie was better than I thought (Funny SW line in it too), but the kicker was the trailer of course.

Seeing it on that screen rocked...  She even commented to me that it looked like a good movie.  This coming from a woman who doesn't look at SW fondly.

The space battles look like if they were in IMAX format they'd make you sick...  which of course now i hope it reaches the IMAX format somehow.

Nice...  hard to believe these are just due next Monday already...  C3, E3, new figures galore, Clone Wars out the ass...

I'm overwhelmed to say the least.

The teaser commercials are fan-frickin'-tastic too.  The Clones with mini-guns?  Fuggetaboutit!  Gonna be fun...  Gonna be sensory overload too, but it's gonna be fun.

Didn't want to let this go...  My news post on the Spirit Ben already has found its way to the bottom of our front page!    News is just hectic at this time of year I guess, hehe.

Anyway, up next is Original Trilogy Collection Spirit Obi-Wan Kenobi (Dagobah Wave), and this is a dandy of a figure with what I wholely expect to be made into an "alive" repainted version some day as well.  Would I turn my nose to that?  Hell no!

Me, I enjoyed this figure...  It's a massive update.  I'd dig a Ben who could sit since he did sit to explain some junk to Luke, but how does one pull softgoods off in spirit form?  I like to think of myself as a seasoned customizer, and even I'm at a loss on that one short of using the utmost in pliable plastic for the skirt...

It's possible if you went that route though, as there's currently some Germans with trenchcoats in the X-Treme Detail line that the coat flexes tremendously.

I don't know how that would turn out though on a spirit character.

My biggest gripe with Ben though is he makes the other characters in spirit form just look flat out bad at this point.  Yikes!  Hopefully they get redone, and though I'd expect a new Spirit Anakin, I'd like the old style Anakin done up too...  For the nostalgia.  I mean, just use the same mold, ya know?

But, Ben's pretty good... Sparse on accessories like R2 was, but he fleshed out that wave well so just read the review and of course you're welcome to join in the picking of nits if you'd like!

The good thing for you guys is Target's are a dime a dozen out there in Cali, right?  I always thought they were anyway...

Out in Pitt, they're still sporatic.  There's 5 I can think of off the top of my head, but they're all spaced apart quite a bit, and none are "close" to me.  45 minutes at best, and some a bit more than that.

I'm hoping the 5 have people spread out enough though...  I figure I can hit 2 of them in relative speed, incase.  I want the Vader but part of me doesn't want to deal with this crap either...  That I can skip these and not feel bad about not having a complete chrome set since it's not on the same cardback as all the others.

To me, that's the marketing campain shot of a lifetime that Hasbro SHOULD have been using.  Little vision there on their part.  That just looks kickass.

Way to go man.

I will own that...

I won't go ape **** with this minis game, but I WILL own that.

Code 3 and Master Replicas can go sit and spin.

One of the few figures I've never seen...  Never picked one up, never saw one on pegs...  Can't even trade for one it seems.  Sort of a bummer since he was the more iconic one too, and I'd dig having one.

I plan to whip up my own, but I'd dig a CW one for my collection too of course.
