Wow!  Good stuff Rob. 

How do you keep it so clean?

It's nearly impossible.  It looks pretty clean in the pictures because I just recently spent a large number of hours taking everything down, dusting it all, and re-assembling it.

3 weeks from now it will all be dusty again, and will probably collect dust until next year when I gather up the energy to do it all again.

I'm also going to shop around for some type of air purifier later this year to hopefully reduce the amount of dust in the room - but it's generally an uphill battle.

Bom Vimdin and the Tonnika Sisters are the best of what's left as far as I'm concerned...

But it will probably be a repainted Hammerhead.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Had to do it... How many SAGA2 Death Star Gunners do you have?

Found #3 yesterday... but everything I've found has been crushed - so I'm still looking for one for the wall before I open too many more hopefully.

Rob Vader's Starfighter wasn't made up, I think it was from that Dark Lord book.

EU, made-up... same thing to me. :)





My latest thinking on all of this is that I'm not going to buy hardly any of this EU stuff.

If I stumble across some of it in cheap bins at collecting shows, I'll fill in the gaps in the collection - but this has just about killed the completist in me.

And I'm glad about that at least.

It shouldn't be a big deal if you order early.

ICMG has gone from in-joke between 6-7 guys at the old BHC to getting joked about by Hasbro.  We've come a long way, baby, but...we've only just begun

I think this is part of the problem... maybe they think the whole thing is a big joke.

And while it may have started that way, but it isn't. 



The most telling part of that slide was the part that said 'we really listen' or whatever it said...

It only shows that they listen, and then they essentially don't give a ****.

I'm sure they thought they were being funny, but they didn't realize that they were pissing off pretty much every long-time collector who would LOVE to see those figures (yes, all of them) made.

Tarkin's face isn't very good (almost looks like the e3 version, is it?) but this is one of the few things Hasbro's shown so far that interests me.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Super Battle Droid (Island Camo)
« on: July 21, 2006, 05:48 PM »
Yeah, there are a handful of items that I like.  But the number of items that I don't outweighs it by about 4 to 1.

I just have to get over the completist thing, which kind of started happening with OTC with the repaints.  I started buying just repaints that made things into new figures - like troops and such.

But this EU stuff and the made up stuff, and the use of older outdated sculpts and kitbashing has me at a breaking point of sorts.

Hasbro is doing their part to break my mental block towards the idea of not buying at least two of everything.

I think I'm going to spend 2007 starting a carded vintage collection.

Seriously.

I've spent around $1300.00 on SW toys (3 3/4" line) this year.

Figure by the end of the year that number will be around $2000.00

With the product Hasbro is showing for next year, I'm looking forward to reducing that number by about 75%.

So does this mean we will be getting the flip helmet scout trooper in a 2-pack instead of having to buy the At-At? Am i just hoping too much?

Flip-top

That one is on the SA body, the Endor AT-AT one is on the POTJ body - unless they just changed their minds.

This is probably a trick to get you to buy BOTH.
