Yeah, the Droid Gunships stole the show, and the Hondo cameo was nice, but overall MEH. It was a boring arc, but given the twin kiss of death coming up this season (younglings + Clovis) that may be the high water mark for awhile.

I don't want any toys from this arc either.

Thanks Greg, I will give it a couple of days and see how it goes. We have a nicer TRU that just opened that I am hoping will get these in this week. I asked at my local comic shop too and they indicated that the official release/ship date was 10/31, so hopefully we'll see more this week. I've never had a problem finding any of these in the past, so fingers crossed that continues to be the case.

I managed to pick up remnants of Wave 2 yesterday, all three of the zombies, no Shane or Rick. There wasn't even a space on the shelves for them at TRU, they just threw them up next to the sports figures.

Still, I got them before EE, so that's something.

I finally, finally saw the Kraven/Beta Ray Bill wave on pegs. Sweet jesus, those looked nice!

Yeah, these were the same pairings that were showing up a few months ago at Tuesday mornings up in the northern states near Canada. I would love to get my hands on some of these but we don't have Marc's here so fingers crossed they show up elsewhere.

Vintage Kenner / Re: Latest vintage acquisition
« on: October 27, 2012, 07:30 AM »
My local comic shop had gotten in some loose vintage figures recently, and they are having a big sale this weekend, so I picked up a complete General Madine and Hoth Rebel Commander for $12 total, mostly just for the weapons, as the ones I already have were incomplete. Turned out to be a great deal because when I got home I realized both of the ones I picked out were variant versions to the ones I already had. (Darker scarf/goggles on the commander and different head sculpt for Madine)

Saw a different version of the Destroyer today at marshall's called Inferno, all black with some kind of light up chest. Is that thing rare?

No luck for me either, and I didn't even see where they would have space for these things unless they threw them on an endcap or something. They do have a truck of new stuff arriving overnight so it might be worth a trip over again in the morning just in case.

Is there a unique UPC for these 2-packs? Are they all just random assortments? Are all TRU stores getting them or just a select few?

Screw it, i'm leaving work now to be there when they open, another Mando shuttle for that price would make my whole year.

JUSt FYI for anyone looking to pick up the newly released Season 4 set on blu-ray..I did some quick comparative shopping and noted the following:

Target: $49.99

Walmart: $39.99

Best Buy: $34.99

No extras, bonuses or any difference between the releases that I could see...I guess those frills have gone the way of the super articulated Clone Wars action figures.

Other Toy Lines / Prometheus Figures
« on: October 24, 2012, 09:14 AM »
Saw new Prometheus figures at TRU yesterday courtesy of NECA. They had the "flight suit" alien dude and un-suited alien dude. Those appeared to be the only two. These looked pretty cool, but didn't seem to have a lot of play features. Which I guess makes sense as these are probably not aimed at kids.

Not sure about the scale, 10" maybe? I am horrible at guesstimating dimensions, so I could be way off there.

IMHO, that is not bad at all considering no one is EVER going to find this in a store in the US. At least they didn't make 5% of them in English language packaging and the other 95% in trilingual style ala the Mando Transport. That would be way more aggravating/expensive.

I seem to recall having some problems trying to order items off of Amazon UK in the past though, like some items cannot be put into your cart for some reason. Maybe only certain sellers ship overseas?

Oh, i got one. Some little third grade punk across the street came over and smashed our two pumpkins last week right on our doorstep in broad daylight. Luckily our neighbor saw it and came over right away and dragged the kid home to his parents. We didn't even know what had happened until the Dad came over later with the kid to apologize. My wife and I were out and my Mom was over babysitting and she told us our daughters both came to the door and were in tears because they had spent hours decorating them. What a ****** lesson that was for them...people suck.
