Just repeating my list from last year:


-Hoth Spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi



-Wedge Antilles - Snowspeeder Pilot gear



-Toryn Farr



-Han Solo - pre-carbonite w/ block




-Treva Horme



-Wiorkettle



-Lt. Sheckil



-Asteroid Victim Imperial Officer



-Princess Leia Organa - Cloud City Escape (resculpt)



-Yoda - Dagobah (SA resculpt)

I looked for these at two Wal-Marts over the weekend and couldn't find them anywhere.  They should be in the Home section with dishes and such, right?   

Try Target.  I found them in the kitchen accessory area, near some stuff like dish drainers.

Indiana Jones - lots of potential here
Robotech - So many characters, and great vehicles.  Matchbox didn't do it justice
Predator - The movie.  Just the Predator alone isn't enough, how about the Special Forces team with Dutch and Blaine?
Starship Troopers - Mobile Infantry against bugs anyone?

Holy crap!  I posted this 9 years ago?

We got a bunch of Indiana Jones, so that's cool.

McFarlane has done some cool Predator stuff.

Toynami has done some cool Robotech stuff, including their masterpiece edition Veritechs.

As for Starship Troopers?  Eh.  Poor choice on my part in retrospect.


As for now?

GAME OF THRONES - Definitely lots of potential here for core characters and some army building.  I'd love to get some Stark forces, Lannister soldiers, Dothraki, Nights Watch and Wights.  But seeing how the show is so far removed from being oriented towards kids, this line would probably have to remain a dream.

HIGHLANDER - The first movie could probably yield about a dozen or so figures.  It would probably be best served by a company like McFarlane or NECA.

$24.99 is what I was charged yesterday for each of my sets.

Good score, CHEWIE.  So how do the paint apps on figures like Boba Fett, R5-D4 and the Death Star Droid compare to some of the more recent releases?

I actually saw some of these today at Target.  I was tempted to revisit the idea.  I had tried them out a few years ago, but I wasn't too happy with them at the time.  Anyhow, I need to get my collection room shelving in order before I do something like this.

The DPCI is valid here in the NYC area, but the price is $24.99 each.  None to be found around here, though.  As for the pricing?  In the grand scheme of TVC figure pricing this still puts the individual figure price at $8.33 each.

Ugh, irritates me so much to think I'll have to shell out like $30 for a Target 3-pack if I want snags...

Awww, damn.  This totally blows the POTF2 Cinema Scene Takeel out of the water.

I regard this as more of a general story issue, rather than a single missed moment.  Simply because it seemed that the story of Attack of the Clones may not have been that set in stone when The Phantom Menace was in production.

I think the overall story of the decline of the Jedi might have been better served had Christopher Lee been cast as Jedi Master Dooku in Episode I.  And having Dooku on the Jedi Council in that film might have given his storyline more gravitas moving forward through the PT.  Exchanges between him, Yoda, Mace Windu and Qui-Gon Jinn in those Jedi Council scenes could have shed more light on Anakin Skywalker's future, as well as that of the Jedi.  This in turn, could have made his standing in Episode II have far greater weight, and also given his treachery that much more impact.  However, I think Lucas simply was not thinking that far in advance.
