How can we get these?

Like I said in the other thread, eBay is it.  99% of the time, the only way to get these Collector Club pieces are from:

#1 - the Medicom Collector Club (but they only ship to Japan address)
#2 - people who bought them from the club
or
#3 - dealers who bought them from #1 or #2

Merry Christmas from Medicom Toy!   



Kubrick Snowtrooper (Blue Stars Version)
- Medicom Collector Club Exclusive
- limited to 2007 pieces
- sells for 1575 Yen (~ $14 US, but you can expect to pay waaay more  )
- ships in May 2008

The Kenner Ewoks and Droids lines. 

I passed on them in favor of more GI Joes back in the day, but I always kind of wished I had bought them.

I'm sure one day I'll eventually break down and finally chase them down...

The latest Hasbro QnA has been posted.

- 16 of the 2007 30AC figures will be back with stands in 2008.
- What's up with the dioramas/playsets used for the recent packaging backgrounds?
- No store exclusives for IJ toy launch?

Man, Gaborik blew up tonight - 5 goals, 1 Assist vs. The Rangers.   

5 goals is a Wild record and Gabby is the first to score 5 in a game (in regulation) since Mario Lemieux did it in '96.

I'm going to the Red Wings Vs. Wild on Saturday, so I hope he/they can carry the momentum into the weekend. 

Coming Soon - Anakin Skywalker:

Well, I can see Hasbro's point. 

There is a lot of stuff that gets cancelled or made exclusive or delayed, so it's not like everything on the 411 rumor list is guaranteed.  Many folks take these lists as 100% gospel, but there are often a lot of misses on them...

Let's look back at RS's 411 for 2007:

- 30th Anniversary Showcase Poster Packs? never happened
- Wave 3: RotJ - Oola w/Chain never happened
- Wave 4: AOTC - Mace Windu #2 never happened
- Wave 4: AOTC - EU Yuuzhan Vong never happened
- Limited Edition Vintage Assortment - Jawa never happened
- Limited Edition Vintage Assortment - Bespin Han Solo never happened

Those are just a few examples, I'm sure if you dug into all those 411 lists, you could find more. 

Anyway, yeah - rumor lists are fun, but you have to remember they are just that - rumor lists.  I'm sure there are a few clunkers on the current list, only time will tell I guess. 

Don't forget that we got a lot more than just the Target UBP sets. 

2007 had more than a few large sets that were simply called "Battle Packs' - the Bantha, Treachery at Saleucami, Geonosis Arena, AT-RT Assault, etc.  Lots of things were called "Battle Pack" but were more than just the basic 5-figure sets.

Sure, it might just turn out to be a box of Skiff Guard repaints but it isn't impossible that it is something larger or deluxe like some of the other stuff planned as BPs next year (like those Rancor sets).
