I'd be having a hard time figuring out what to do about this, if I were still collecting.

You'll all suffer far more than I will. alas

Watto's Junk Yard / Catch the news with Star Wars in it today?

Heh, a suspicious bag was discovered today, I don't remember where I think an airport.

Well the bomb squad came and removed the bag. it was filled with Star Wars Toys! lol

I see a connection to the recent news of the 'glorious' new hasbro exclusives today.

Here's what happened:

One of us flew to Florida to nab the Star Tours line.  Upon arriving back to the airport he reads of the new exclusives in the newspaper.

Promptly he goes insane and runs screaming from the airport ripping his hair out.  Being an international Airport, such behavior isn't unexpected...only later when our fellow collector's baggage is discovered by the news-stand...

What is GOING ON TODAY!? Is death by a thousand paper cuts supposed to take a while, not just a day?

I am feeling better about my forced (read: no money) removal from near all collecting in 1999

"The theory is that the #6, 33 and 34 repaints are three of them. Anyone?" 

And given Hasbro's stellar record you KNOW what the other 7 will be.  *cries*

At least it isn't the POTF2 Royal Guards (stumpies)  Saga HAS to be better than that, unless it is a repack...I don't know.

Does our battle pack have to have a scene theme? It shouldn't Hasbro's don't even make sense.

5 Pack: (The Beloved Droids)
-Monkey Face Leia (just cuz)
-R5-D4
-Gonk Droid
-EV-9D9
-R2-D2 (Launching Lightsaber)

"The problem arises when they start doing holo Wickets or something stupid like that."

ACK! No, now that you'd said it...

EU doesn't even claim some of that trash!

And yesh Force Battlers is a flop, so we are safe and I don't see 6" Joes succeeding, it's been tried and flopped. What 10 years later kids will like them now?  Nah

Original Trilogy Collection / Re: Wedge!

But it has a FREE collectable Topps trading card!!!

and it comes in a protective CASE!  that's worth double a typical figure + shipping. =p

My fears for the future grow, a dark shadow is cast across the galaxy.

Perhaps the retailers returned the pegwarmers back and got them repainted.  Maybe Hasbro saw how well the Neimoidian Warrior custom repaints were selling on ebay. lol

one can only hope it is just the same figures. lol

Yeah, Online shopping has advantages, but it greatly cuts back on the volume hasbro can sell off.  Making for small production runs and higher prices (plus S/H of course) and generally greatly increasing the chances of the death of the line.

GI Joe needs another cartoon show.  Not a crummy one (like new cartoons) either lol
