Target has gotten the most business from me, with Wal-Mart coming in second for having a few HTF figures.

FINALLY scored two AT-TE Gunners from Amazon. Would have gotten a Tarkin too, but the damn things sold out before I could check out.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Cool Kid Collectors
« on: July 29, 2005, 05:20 PM »
Ya know, I had a similar experience yesterday at Target. I was waiting for the slow ass employees to get an Evolutions set for me (I'm selling it to Vator), and a 9 or 10 year old walks up. He picked up the last Mustafar Anakin and a Clone Trooper and saw that I had another Mustafar Anakin and a Bacara in my hand.
He asked if I was a big fan of Star Wars, to which I replied, "Yeah, it's pretty cool." He then asked if I was waiting on the guys to bring out newer figures, and I said I was waiting for an Anakin Evolution set. He asked what that was, so I told him what all was in it, as well as the price, and he said "cool!" When the employee came out, he brought out the entire case. It had three sets left (I snagged one on Tuesday), I picked up one for Vator, and the kid picked up the second to last. Just as I was leaving, another kid, probably around 5 or 6, came up with his dad and got the last set, saying "Neat, two good guys and a bad guy!".
So it's good to see that kids are still into the line, although there aren't enough for Hasbro to claim that kids drive the line.
EDIT: Chewie, I also heard a lot of kids asking about Luke on 4/2. They dug through the pegs asking "Where's Luke, where's Han," etc. I informed them that there wouldn't be a Luke or Han in this packaging, and they all went "Lame, I'm sick of that hunchback Luke!" and bought lightsabers instead. Funny stuff.

The Wookiee Arcade / Re: Star Wars Strategy Game Coming
« on: July 29, 2005, 01:38 PM »
This game looks incredible. Like Empire Earth, but with Star Wars. And wow, those graphics! 
I'm still wondering though, will you have to make civilians to gather resources for you to build the machines? You have to do that in Empire Earth, and it would make the game a bit more realistic, IMO.

I think Maul's cloak was sculpted with Colman in mind!

I'm hearing rumors of a variation in the Anakin Evolution set. Something about painted/unpainted scars on the ROTJ anakin head. Can anyone confirm this?

FINALLY found a new wave today, the Bacarra wave. I bought Bacarra, Crispy Anakin (possible trade fodder), and another #6 Clone.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: How long have you collected SW?
« on: July 27, 2005, 10:54 AM »
I've been buying figs since early 1997 (got my first POTF2 figs in late 96), and collecting since AOTC came out in 2002. I went on a hiatus after TPM came out, as no stores had any SW figures. Plus, I finally found the HTF Darth Maul, so I felt "complete." I started getting an interest again in early 2002, but didn't start buying figs again until AOTC came out.
So we're going on 6 1/2 years buying figs (excluding my hiatus in 00-02) and 3 years collecting.

The Prequel Trilogy / Re: ROTS DVD Nov 1st

I'm glad we're getting ROTS, but I'll hold out on the sets for now. I just wish Clone Wars Volume 2 was coming out with ROTS though.

LEGO / Re: ROTS Lego Minis Promotions
« on: July 26, 2005, 07:23 PM »
Matt, keep a look out for a Mini ARC for me too!
These all dried up long ago. I've seen them at an online Lego store for $5, but I haven't felt like ordering one yet. I suppose I'll crack and get one if Matt can't find one.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: ROTS Gunship - Where the hell is it?!
« on: July 26, 2005, 07:20 PM »
I'm exactly like you, Valin. Never got the other two, and I have only seen the ROTS Gunship once at Wally World.
I'd really like one now, since I have a Clone army now.
