Well there is an image of TC-4 in that book, regardless.

Dave "True Fan and Photojournalist" Myatt Recaps Toy Fair

Some highlights...

Quote

On the media front we saw a lot of new faces, and the lack of familiarity did have its own intrinsic problems. You see, when it comes to visiting the bigger companies, the Internet media is often are bundled in with the fan sites and pushed through like a bunch of sweaty cows with cameras. Those of us who have been photographing beside one another for years (I’m referring to you Steve, Adam, Paul, and Mike) have built a good report and have learned to work together and through common courtesy and respectful communication. As such, all of us get good photos. This year we had a slew of would be photojournalists who were only concerned about their own photography and their lack of experience and respect for others slowed the process completely. To all these people, I really can’t stress how much they can improve their ability to work through a display by learning their equipment before an event. Practice makes perfect, and with rooms full of toys in your houses all you need is the will to take the time to learn your craft before jumping into the photo pits.

Don't mess with a master photojournalist

What a tool.

I've been covering con's and Hasbro events for a couple of sites now for about 5 years or so.  I've run across Dave and Curto more than a few times.  Curto is actually a pretty cool guy in person, and I've got nothing bad to say about him.  The same goes for the guys from GH and the JD staffers that I've run across at these events.  Pleasant people all the way around.

But Dave Myatt?  Or should I refer to him as D. Martin Myatt?  Uck.  I've crossed paths with him at a few cons and Hasbro press events and he's come across like a horse's ass.  Rude.  Interrupting conversations.  Stepping in front of you while you're taking photos.  He should really take a good look in the mirror before posting nonsense like that.

And D.Martin Myatt was also wrong about Hasbro having it totally right.  The Star Wars room was comparitively puny  for the ammount of press that was covering the line.  The Star Wars & Indiana Jones room was far too small for all of the press to do their jobs in a reasonable fashion.  And Hasbro knows going into the event the sites/press that are getting credentials to cover the event...plan accordingly.

The chases aren't going to be that tough to come by.  There's 1 chase for every 2 regular figures.

I've been pretty happy with the AT-TE pics myself, would like to see more up close and personal shots of more comic characters if possible, but if not that's ok.

Check out some more of the comic packs here.

$75 is the retail price.  But if you check out Jedi Temple Archives DST article, you'll find that Diamond is suggesting that retailers sell the chase figures at a higher price.

Now is this thing in the $20 range or close to it?  I assume it is.  Just wondering.
