The Legacy Collection / Re: 2008 Evolutions Sets
« on: February 26, 2008, 10:35 PM »The Mandalore has a big ax shaped thing and a shield, and while I could be mistaken I could have sworn this staff came with the sith set...
Um, no. The staff goes with the Mandalore, along with the shield and ax.

« on: February 24, 2008, 09:58 AM »But Dave Myatt? Or should I refer to him as D. Martin Myatt? Uck. I've crossed paths with him at a few cons and Hasbro press events and he's come across like a horse's ass. Rude. Interrupting conversations. Stepping in front of you while you're taking photos. He should really take a good look in the mirror before posting nonsense like that.
Heh, doesn't surprise me. But hey, stop being a negative nellie.

Watched Vantage Point last night. I enjoyed it very much. It didn't have a single dull moment. Good stuff.

Picked up the Fett Legacy evolutions set at Target this afternoon. The fact that Boba is missing his chest insignia is disappointing. The bantha skull emblem is set too low on his shoulder, too. Oh well. Almost picked up the Sith Legacy set. That Darth Nihilus figure looks pretty nice, but I have no need for Chippendale Maul or Darth Flamehead.

Hey! I was saving those two figs for later!

« on: February 9, 2008, 02:08 AM »I could definitely go for that Sandtrooper for one.
Me too. I'd take three of 'em in a heartbeat. A concept Emperor figure would be cool, too.

Nice catch there, Jesse. It's news to me, so I guess I'm late to the party, too.

Just what I need in my collection...another Vader and yet another Chewie, but this one is special because he comes with leg warmers wraps.
If this wave is for real, I'll pick up the multiple boobied gal and nothing else.

Picked up a Jumptrooper yesterday at a toy show here in town for a fair price. Couldn't resist. Just wanted to say that it's one awesome figure! The only thing keeping it from perfection is the fact that he doesn't have a ball-jointed waist. Anyway, here's a pic.

« on: February 2, 2008, 06:17 PM »I don't have a Tri-Droid yet, so I'm thinking that will be my favorite when it's all said and done.
I think you'll find that the Tri-Droid is quite impressive. It's certainly big.

« on: February 1, 2008, 11:57 PM »If you compare POTF2 to a human scaled head, its fine, you compare the new one to a human head, its not...
Yes, the new one has a head just like Harry the Haunted Hunter.
We can argue whether or not 2-1B is scaled correctly in terms of height. But I think the fact remains that the new 2-1B has a huge flaw in the way he is proportioned. I mean, he shouldn't have a head the size of a pea, should he?

But see, I don't think there's a real difference between a ROTS-era 2-1B droid and an ESB-era 2-1B droid. Cars change over the years, but droids in the SW galaxy? There are minor differences (color, detailing) between both eras of 2-1B, sure, but for there to be what seems like a big height discrepency?
Of course, according to the SW database, 2-1B is supposed to stand about 4 1/2 feet tall. Didn't seem that short in either movie (ROTS or ESB).
