The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: CW Deluxe Figure & Vehicle Line
« on: July 2, 2011, 08:38 PM »
Carded pic at da 'Scum plus Previews info.
That is an Astromech slot back there in the scout Y-Wing. Nice to give the droids something to do...operate deadly laser guns.
Also, Previews has listing for a Swamp Speeder with the deluxe series. Is that a mistake, or is a mini rigged swamp speeder coming?

I not sure Sate Pestage appears in ROTJ. He was scripted for ESB, but cut. There's two that haven't been made, maybe he is one of them, plus Slim Aloo who needs an update.

Shadows of the Dark Side / Re: SDCC/TRU Exclusive Star Wars: Republic Commando Action Figure Set
« on: July 1, 2011, 04:46 PM »
Nice they redid them, but the idea of redoing them points to how repetitive and irritating Star Wars collecting gets. If they'd done the mold right the first time, there'd be no need for this set. It wasn't like they weren't doing super articulated troopers then, either.
Also, TRU exclusive = $50 price tag probably.

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: Clone Wars General Battle Pack Thread
« on: June 27, 2011, 05:18 PM »
Stop the Zillo Beast and Capture the Droids pack pictures are out there. Nothing new. Zillo has Mace Windu, Yoda and a plain white Clone trooper, the other set has R2-D2, C-3PO and the recent Cade Bane with Todo (at least they used the recent Bane and kept Todo).
THere's a good idea for a Q&A question..."With the inclusion of 4 figures in the 'Capture the Droids' Battle Pack,' can we expect future battle packs to include 4 figures?"

See, stuff like this makes any collector a scalper. I'd be a fool not to buy this release and turn around and sell it. It's ridiculous and detrimental to the hobby.

Saw this over at Rebby Scum
(Image deleted at the request of a cry baby
)
Imperial Commander is an unaltered Needa? LAZY! But good, cuz there's no need to buy the set. Though it may be the best of the lot to me (Because I never got that Dengar). The hatlessness and codpieceless appearances doesn't make for MOC niceness, IMHO, which is mostly the point of these sets.
Looks like they used the right Chewbacca, ANH.
C-3PO is same Endor throne Legends released one.
Will the Snowtrooper really have that rifle?

« on: June 23, 2011, 05:58 PM »
You've probably heard, but "New" Legends are actually out there now. Saw them at Wal-Mart (one where Legends are back up to $7.88 each). No surprises.
No secret weapons, as we already new.
No Dark Troopers on Space TRooper cards, thankfully (Or not for folks who wanted old Dark Troopers). Space Trooper has a pistol now.
Saga 2006 Boba Fett and Saga 2006 Vaders.
Battle Droid is same old one, no ankle joints, and there is NO blaster included, no matter what the package says...unless it's incredibly well hidden.
Destroyer Droid is the action attack version.
Stormtrooper is VOC, or close to it.
Death Star Trooper seems to have same hair color and even the weathering on his blaster.
Mace Windu is 30th release of that same mold...HA! 30th anniversary.

These have appeared in Australia already. And someone said a U.S. Toys R Us computer listing is $43.99.
I recall passing up prior releases for $30, and those had figures. Gotta love an almost 50% mark-up since 2008.
