The 2-1B model in ESB is, to me, a different model altogether: Different color, Different height, Different chest. Different arm. Different figure.

Different height?  Hmm...if you really want to get technical, sure, there's a timeframe difference between a ROTS-era 2-1B and an ESB 2-1B, and as you mentioned, the coloring, chest and arm are different.  But the height?  The droid model is still the same.  Using a different example, you could argue that R2-B1 isn't R2-D2, but it is still the same droid model, regardless of the timeframe difference.  Should R2-D2 be any shorter than R2-B1?  Hasbro scaled this newest version of 2-1B off.  Way off.  2-1B wasn't a munchkin of a droid.  And this newest version of 2-1B is small.       

what did you get them at?

 

At the Wal-Mart in Las Cruces, NM. 

# Wolf Sazen & Darth Nihl - from Star Wars: Legacy

I much rather would have prefered a Wolf Blitzer & Darth Nihl set instead.



 

Still searching for a manly man purse.

Any suggestions*?

Dunno, but when you finally find the right man purse, make sure it has the Patriots logo/emblem embroidered on there somewhere.

The Wal-Marts around here are stuffed to the gills with Stormtroopers, SBD's, 3PO's & DST's.  But the figure I spot the MOST at stores (Wal-Mart, Target, etc.) is Jedi Luke (hands down). 

unfortunately, it's about time to retire the poor thing before it melts away.

When you do, give it to me.  I'll give you a dollar.  Deal?

Even at that amount it is pretty damn thick

Yeah, but, what if I sent you a wallet sized pic of yours truly?  Would you have room to fit that in there too?   

I'm still very fond of the OTC packaging.  I love how each figure had a movie scene backdrop on the card.  I know TSC figs featured the same thing, but I prefer the shape of the bubble with OTC over TSC.
