Revenge of the Sith / Re: Future Clone Troopers
« on: May 10, 2005, 05:50 PM »
I say, the more clones, the merrier.

Just like women.   :P

Seriously, I'm a sucker for different paint schemes - the clone commander is one of my favorite figures so far (no#41's yet) just because he's different from the generic clonie.

Though I do think it's kind of stupid that GL has decided to go the Skittle route with these prequel troopers...what happened to the ranks in the OT?

Was there too much tension between the superiors and cronies? 

"Hey, were exactly the same, what makes you better than me?  Why do you get the cool red armor and I get stuck with this piece of **** lame-o white crap?!"

Jesse always does this to a thread - he sums up everything so well, there's nothing else to say!

 :P

I prefer soft goods - especially with the ROTS line.  Mundi and the royal guards kick ass and are done tastefully. 

But when the wrong fabrics are used (and/or are oversized), things tend to look really weird.  IE:  VOTC Ben, Luke and Yoda.

So far, none of the modern Yodas have been up to par.  It's pretty sad when my preferred Yoda of choice is the one made almost 25 years ago!!

I saw the front page announcement and got all excited because we share the same name and I thought I had won!   ;D

Congrats!

Only 10 of the Grievous Exclusive left out of this Limited Edition of 1500. Act fast, he's hot!

General Grievous Figure  Sideshow Exclusiv

Are the arms poseable?

I went back and forth on the Vader one and now I regret it.  Does anyone know where I can still find one?

Your user name wouldn't have anything to do with your plans for them, would it?

Jeff - if your #41 clones arrive in beat up condition, I'll take them off your hands!

Revenge of the Sith / Re: Target Exclusive Clone Trooper
« on: May 10, 2005, 09:18 AM »
Yeah, I've got that specific clone (Yakface feature) figured out.  I'd like some tips on how to paint / decorate the other flavor of clones - IE:  Commander Cody, Special Ops (blue), etc.

Are people using masks or are they doing it freehand?

Does anybody remember the name of the company that designs the new cardbacks for the Unleashed line?

Revenge of the Sith / Re: Target Exclusive Clone Trooper

Although I definitely want more Clonetrooper color/squad variations, enough with the exclusives already.  This one, while overpriced, was kind of neat...but I don't want to be paying $13 every time we want a different Clone.  Plus, why limit themselves that way?  You know these would sell in bunches, even if sold everywhere instead of being limited to Target.

I may be a little too critical of those who are actually buying these things at 2.5x the fair price because I'm a customizer. I already have made several of each of 5 color/decor variants of clone troopers because I bought about 70 EIII clones thus far. I'm good enough at it now that you can just barely tell the difference between one of my paint jobs, and one of Hasbro's. The main reason I collect Star Wars if for troop building and battle dioramas. I already have Felucia grunts, Red Coruscants shock troopers, Blue 501st special ops, Neyo's grunts, and Commander Bly. So I'm not really driven to shell out $14 per figure, especially when I usually buy upwards of 50 of each army builder (gotta love the wookiee army, whew). But guys, in all seriousness, if you keep supporting this bull**** everytime Hasbro makes an "exclusive" figure at 2-3x the fair price, especially if it's an army builder, you're really helping to kill the hobby the same way Topps slaughtered baseball card collecting in 1993. This has got to stop.

Dressel - have any tips on how to customize the #6 clones?  Do you just hand paint them or do you use a mask?

Original Trilogy Collection / Re: Best Stormtrooper ????

Isn't that Evolution Sandtrooper just a VOTC Stormie with sand and a shoulderpad and possible backpack?

The one and only.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: SA E2 Clones in Wal-Mart cases?
« on: May 9, 2005, 01:37 PM »
Yep, that's what I was thinking.

Bums are buying the case, swapping out the SA clone for a #6 clone and then returning the case to WM.  Hell, they're probably selling the loose SA clone on ebay.

If I lacked a conscience and a work ethic, I'd do the same!

 :P

Holy crap - are you serious?  Shopko is at $8.99!!   :o

3524
My WM's were $5.24 and now they are $5.88 - just like selling crack, they get ya hooked  cheap and then up the price.

Target was $5.99 and then they went to $5.24 to keep in line with WM, but I fear they will go back to $5.99.

I don't bother with KM and TRU these days....

It sure sounds like they've been officially recalled.

Somebody from the other forum said they were not allowed to purchase the item when it was scanned.

Funny, how something simple to sell/produce can turn into a nightmare!!
