Revenge of the Sith / Re: Gree and Bly - a nice surprise
« on: October 11, 2005, 11:09 PM »
I'm too upset over Gree, either. In one sense, he'll make a nice cammo clone grunt when they eventually redo Gree for real (which they will) and as for Bly, I haven't found him! Sigh.

200? If they're going to be that plentiful, I may wait until the inevitable clearance. Plo's my favorite Jedi, so it'd be nice to have his ride. For cheap.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: Wal-Mart Separation of the Twins Figures

Seriously. The Obi Wan set especially. I've been waiting for this figure combo almost as long as I've been waiting to see that scene, so I'm excited about it. And it's the pilot Obi Wan, which is the best they could do (short of a hooded cloak), so it works for me.

I think for what they are, they're fantastic. I love the card. I don't plan on opening these, and since I don't have Bail, it's a plus. I would have prefered some newness in the figs, but I'll live. If they're cheap.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Battle of Carkoon Wave

I wouldn't say I'm an optimist when it comes to hasbro, but a pragmatist. Everything is eventual. That's for sure. Hasbro, given the time and opportunity, will make all the figs we want, because otherwise, they're out of business. On the other hand, I can understand the anxiety of some who worry the market will abandon SW before Hasbro meets their demand. I think it's a real risk, but I don't think the bottom is about to fall out of SW by any stretch of the imagination.

Actually, he's the very specialized Gastro Trooper.

Yeah, using the Carkoon wave as a model, expectations start to go down... but Hasbro did say one or more of the figs had never been done in this scale, or something like that. So I figure one of them will be Toyrn Farr, or Derlin, or someone like that. I figure if they skip the SA Snowtrooper, and repack the Saga one, it's a signal of lame things to come. But there are so many figs in this theme that need resculpts (Luke, leia, Han, Veers, AT AT Driver, Luke Snowspeeder, Wedge, etc....) so where do you start?

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Battle of Death Star Wave

I'd be good with either. The removable helmets lately do seem too puffy, but I wouldn't display Luke and Han with them anyways.

Yikes... hmm. Boussh looks like the only one I'll be getting. Oh, I'll get Bib, what the hell, but man. That Han isn't justifiable after the figures we've gotten the last two years. I don't know what I was expecting, but he looks a lot like the one that came with that cardboard diorama thing. Maybe they are holdovers. It would explain them being first, which never made sense to me. Kids/casual collectors have been clamoring in the aisles all year for Luke, Leia, Han, etc. and if I were Hasbro, just from a market standpoint, I'd put out something along the lines of the EB set (individual of course) that met that demand.
And yeah, if they're not reusing the VOTC sculpts just because, then why bother? This entire set looks ca. 1997 (and it literally is for the most part in character selection).

I held out hope Chewie would be some form of the VOTC/Eb figure, but alas... I'll probably just get Leia and Bib for sure. I'll wait and see on Han.

I hope they do, because I passed on him last time. I just couldn't see paying $10 for him.
