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

Jeff, was this to be carded?

I believe that is the case, but it has not been confirmed.


Anybody know how we'll be able to get these in the US (other than eBay?)?

eBay will be your only option most likely.  99% of the time, the Medicom Collector Club exclusives are never offered anywhere else.  :(

The best example of this is the 2007 Box Set from earlier in the year.  A lot of places (like BBTS) took pre-orders, but the Collector Club (or someone who bought from the Collector Club) was the only place to get them.

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...

Well of the Souls / Re: IJ speculation
« on: December 21, 2007, 05:21 PM »
From today's Hasbro Q&A:

3. OK, Indy toys. What are we looking at for the launch? Are we talking a "street date" with a big push, including store exclusives (similar to the last few movie lines you’ve done)? If so, any idea what that date will be so we can mark it on our calendars to be sure we have the day off work?

**There will be a tight on-shelf date for the IJ product line, which will be a few weeks before the movie (the theaterical date is 5/22). We can confirm that there will *not* be any store exclusives at the movie launch for IJ... we are focusing on the mainline assortments. The complete lineup will be announced (along with the on-shelf date) at Toy Fair.


So, no worrying about running around to all the different stores having to track down store exclusives for IJ... at least not at the launch anyway.

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?

30th Anniversary Collection / TFU Stormtrooper Commander
« on: December 21, 2007, 09:38 AM »
what do you all think the chances are this figure will be a Target Exclusive just like the Saleucami and Utapau Shadow Trooper clones were?

That was my guess...

it looks like the Blue Storm Commander is going to be carded.  Since he's not in the TFU wave, maybe he'll be a Target exclusive to counter these Wal-Mart box exclusives.

 :D

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

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.  :)

Collections / Re: Where Does Your Collection Reside?
« on: December 19, 2007, 10:00 AM »
we've lived here a year and a half and I'm still not done.  ;)

We've lived in our house for over 6 years and my SW room is still not "done". 

Always seems to be something I'm tinkering with or re-arranging or moving or adding or selling or ....  ::)   :P

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 2008 Rumors and Speculation
« on: December 17, 2007, 08:40 PM »
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.  ;)

The Legacy Collection / Re: Droid Factory Build A Figure
« on: December 17, 2007, 02:39 PM »
I like the idea of them doing the build-a-figure thing finally.  Droids are a good topic since they are background characters for the most part and most folks could live without them if they don't buy everything. 

I'd prefer the "1 per wave" idea, but the 30-piece mega-droid sounds interesting as well (provided of course, the excecution was well done).  I guess we wait until Toy Fair for that one.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Jabba's Skiff Guards Battle Pack
« on: December 17, 2007, 02:28 PM »
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).
