Revenge of the Sith / Re: NEW TIE Fighter
« on: September 7, 2005, 01:31 PM »
Funny. Down in southern california, Target far out ranks walmart for having star wars stuff. Walmart typically has bare shelves around here for most of their toys. Target always keeps them stocked with mostly frog warriors. >:(


Maybe at your 'part' of southern california- in my part east of the san bernardino mtns Wal Mart is King- Sure we go to Target for exclusives but Wal Mart is where I've spent 80% of my money this year.

I STILL havn't seen the last wave 54-56 appear at either of our target stores, however- at our Wal Marts they're pegwarming for 4 weeks now, including 48-53 even #41's, bacaras ect. The Wal Mart pegs are finally starting to thin after the product has been sitting there for 4 weeks. Good luck to Target in getting sales on 54-56 since everyone in the Antelope Valley has plenty. All my EVO's at WM..WAYYYY before Target's hit

I'd say my area ratio in money spent looks like this WM 80%, Target 12%, TRU 4%, Kmart 3%, Kay B 1%

Toy Reviews / Re: Target Giant TIE Fighter
« on: September 7, 2005, 02:15 AM »
Not me. Hated the review- felt it was 'flat'. After reading I get 80 %(multiplepoints/paragraphs) about history of the tie toy ect, how Hasbro SHOULD have done/made/sold things,criticizing Hasbro, and the price justification or not.
Unfortunately, only 20% goes into an actual reveiw of the ship and pack-in fig..

When I read a review I want to read one like Jesse would do...THOROUGH/COMPLETE (not wasted reading on non-actual product review) For example, I could totally see Jesse talking about the wings for 80% of the article especially since it's most of the change on this product(yes, I have my own for nearly a month now)

I also feel that in comparison if I had to say something good or bad about the review it's important to give detailed criticism. If not then how else does the author know what's good/bad about the reveiw. So instead of being an ass and saying the review sucked and that's it I'll say details so authors can learn from them. This works both ways for if someone says "good reveiw"- I'd be pissed if I read that.. I'd be like yeah? what did you like about it so I know to repeat that.

I don't see you on here often for review so good try at it anyways-May I suggest reading some of Jesse's reviews..IMO he's a master reviewer

Sounds like he thinks that unofficial information(I.E. rumor) 'justified' his earlier post about the unleashed going exclusive to an on-line retailer, Jesse. ::)

I find it interesting that everybody's spazzing over 1 post a (ooooh) spy said from" inside Hasbro". I will defer judgement until Hasbro actually makes a press release AND companies like entertainment earth, ect start cancelling orders and labeling the item as discontinued. If Hasbro does do this for me anyway it will be a big dissapointment :(

I really liked the UL line ..have 'em all except that damn vertical-smiled vader >:(- I 'll be sad to see the end of it

2 inch figures??!! If I can barely see 'em then I won't buy them. LOL, I challenge Hasbro to get to the 7th wave of that line ::)

Steve! My set of target cups looks like that too-kinda doubled/smeared- I wonder if they rushed the set out.
My daughter was looking forward to the Leia cup and even SHE was dissapointed-GEEZ!

The reason these reissues were so hard to find was they were packed 1 to a case and you got different ones packed for different revisions, I lucked out getting all but one of these (the revision with one stormie, one biker scout) except for Vader- I had a hell of a time getting him.(but I did)

I think what happened with these was- you got a case with 2ea of the cantina aliens and 1ea of the sandtrooper-beyond this ..depending on the case revision, it's 1 ea of 5 different repacks from 2004 OTC. I think people didn't realize initially that the "repacks" had 2005 edition numbers(myself included)...when they did...the 1 to a case figs were hard to come by.  >:(

In most places where I live these case assortments shipped only one time to stores in low quantities of cases(-I think because they were prepping for sneak preview figs) this made it difficult to go back to stores to expect pick up what folks missed after they realized these stupid "forcefed" repacks  with 2005 number (the completists had to have it).   :(

This is what I think: When I asked Hasbro about Commander Cody at the CC- you could see them practically drooling and frothing at the mouth when they replied ..and I quote "Cody!...Yeah, we really like Cody...we have some great plans for him" :(

Don't want to be too negative here but more..what I call 'Hasbro-realistic' when I say Hasbro's gonna hurt many a buyer with this. They know we want the figure bad, so, first off they'll produce him in some deluxe/battle pack or exclusive so we desperately HAVE to buy it. Then they'll shaft us later in the year and release him as a single carded figure >:(

........'I have forseen this'

(I couldn't beleive Hasbro fieled no fewer then 10 questions :o about other products until I asked about  a commander Cody fig.-to which they suckidly gave no REAL reply we can use as collectors)
