"What's this?"

I think the best one is the Wookie Commando....he looks really cool.

Passel Argente and Cat Miin are also pretty cool looking.

Bly looks pretty good....I don't open them, but he looks to have some good articulation.  Jesse, I'm awaiting your review!

Even though the Commander Gree figure doesn't look like the actual character, he looks ok for a green clone trooper. (I do wish they had gotten him right though....you'd think someone would've noticed the packaging at the Hasblo plant)

"Oh silly me, I had a whole pocket full of change!"

Beth,

If I get called into work on Wednesday, I won't get home until sometime Thursday afternoon, and the saber goes on sale 10 am local time here.  I'm considering sacrificing a goat or something in hopes of not being called in on my backup day!

Good luck with the move and I hope you luck out with this saber as well.

Its sort of been hinted at so far that Walt has something special about him, and maybe we'll start to see more of what that is. 

Yeah it's been more than hinted.  His mom's new boyfriend outright wanted Michael to take custody of him because "weird things happen when he's around."  He was reading a book about birds when all of the sudden one came screaming into the window and broke it's neck.  He's a freaky little kid.

Don't forget, he's also the reason the Polar Bear kept showing up.

Re: New Force,

It looks bad, but it's not really that bad.  Rick and the gang over there have made a conscious decision to hold off on a lot of the activity on full cases this year.  Being a smaller retailer, they realized that many of these figures would hit the big boys (TRU/Target/etc) before them, so they've held off.

They've said that in a movie year, it's hard for them to compete with the big boys because retail get product faster.  NewForce have put up a few of the "collector interest things" - Evolutions, BH 7-pack, Wedge, Clone Variant cases, etc.  They have even ordered a few things for me when I sent an e-mail, even though they weren't listed on the site.

They do a pretty good business with their retail stuff and then there is the "other" on-line stuff they sell - DCD, Diamond, Star Trek, etc.  I don't think they are in any financial trouble or anything, just decided to play it low key because of the movie year and the fact that orders go way down when stuff is rampantly available at retail.

Thanks for the info Jeff.  I dealt with Newforce quite a bit during the POTJ waves.  In my opinion, they are hands down the best internet store going!

If I recall correctly, the writes of the show have debunked the "they're in Purgatory" idea.
