That looks kind of like a flip calender.  Is that an accurate observation Dale?

I had been interested in getting this set since I bought the C2 and C3 badge sets.  But some of the appeal there was the presentation.  I really dug the lunchbox that the C2 badges came in.  Very cool!  The wooden box for the C3 badges was nice too.  But this seems a little weird to me.  At first I had been a little disappointed that I missed the orders for this set, but after seeing it?  Hmmm.

I'm very surprised that I'm seeing wave 3 on the pegs and not Saga Legends.  But then there is some strange level of excitement for this line.  Sure, I understand the army building thing, but as for other characters in this line?  I just don't get it.

here is a hood-up version I made since Hasbro refused to give us one  >:(

Hasbro wanted to give us one.

Maybe we can get a hood up version with a new tauntaun.  I think it's about time that Hasbro revisited that particular creature.

That AOTC standard Clone helmet deforms quite a bit when you put it on the figure, don't kid yourself about that.  The pilot helmet seems to hold up better for what ever reason.  But on the standard clone you'll notice a bump somewhere on the front of the helmet from the nose protruding through.

It seems as though the helmets vary.  If it's gotten squished in the package at the packing stage it's more likely to look deformed.  That's because of the pliability of the plastic.  If the plastic was harder it would be less likely to deform.  But then there might be some safety issues involved that are controlling the choice in plastics since the helmet is a small item that could present a choking hazard.

Regarding the chopper droid, the legs are flimsy.  A sturdier grade of plastic would be very welcome on that.

Both of these droids would be very welcome additions.  I think that Hasbro might opt for the 2-1B droid since they could probably re-use that.  That is if that should happen to be a new 2-1B sculpt.  But I wouldn't mind seeing a ROTS version of 2-1B and a TESB version.

FX-6 would be very cool.  Especially if Hasbro stayed true to the articulation and sculpting that they put into FX-7.

Love Soundgarden and like Audioslave, so I figured a solo album by Chris should be good.  I like the song he did for Casino Royale and the rest of the album is pretty decent.  I was a bit turned off by his cover of Billie Jean - mainly because it's so different from the original - but it's starting to grow on me after a few listens.  I bought it at Target and you can get get two free downloads, so I have to do that eventually.

That cover is so 70's it's hilarious.  I remember when there were LPs coming out with covers like that.

Paris Hilton's rash, I mean.

Sorry, no.  I'm not a woman who scopes out the rags at the supermarket checkout line.

Bought another couple of wave 3 Stormtroopers and a Jawa w/ LIN droid.

Those are some pretty good choices, but I haven't seen any rumors lists to date for 2008's vintage line.  We were talking about most of those characters as good choices a few pages back, but I think it's still pretty wide open until we hear something from Hasbro.

Who cares?  Any cluster of people that I run into that is talking about this stupidity reminds me of a sewing circle.  Talking about this nonsense just seems to perpetuate this crap.

I don't know if this will go anywhere or not, but on my afternoon toy run I saw numerous 30AC vehicles (V-Wing, Infiltrator, white TIE Fighter) in WM's clearance section.  However the stickers were still for full price ($19.97).  I'm going to keep an eye on those, but considering that the 30+ Vader coin albums are still sitting in the same section for full price, I don't believe they will be reduced any time soon.  They also still had the re-released Obi-Wan and Anakin ROTS Unleashed figures for full price in the clearance aisle...

The reason that you're probably seeing the vehicles at that place in the store is because WalMart's original planogram didn't provide any space for the 30AC vehicles.  Hasbro had to convince WalMart to pick up the vehicles line by making them jealous of Target and Toys R Us's sales numbers.  So now you'll see them in odd places like endcaps and clearance sections.

I kept on trying online and it just would not get through.  But I had three customer service phone numbers that I kept trying and eventually one of those panned out.

So much for Sideshow being able to handle a pre-order.  This was a mess.

Scored a pair of Vintage Snowtroopers & a couple of "I Am Your Father's Day" 2-packs today.
