Out of Customs, December 06, 2006, 2:53 pm!

Finally left Chicago after spending 8 days, 2 hours, and 10 minutes sitting in customs.

Hopefully they will be in the Twin Cities today and in my hands by the weekend!

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Battle of Yavin (Death Star) Wave

« on: December 4, 2006, 11:07 PM »

Oooh...

I like Han (but I always like Han). I love the re-use of the gunner gear idea for Han. Nice upgrade from the POTF2 versions.

I like the DS Trooper. About friggin' time for a resculpt on that one.

I like the Biggs (even if it is just another re-use of the Dutch sculpt).

I like the Rebel Guard. If they can do this guy and the Naboo Soldier, they can officially make anyone now.

Fett = EU = meh, but I'll most likely buy it anyway.

We did some forum software upgrades over the weekend and they are most likely the cause of a few bugs still floating around...

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: New Saga Legends - Collector's Choice?

« on: December 4, 2006, 11:07 AM »

Whew, judging by what Curto says, it will just be 4 variants for the Pit Droids, not 9 like I originally feared:

On another note - Holy Crap! As a ~~sucker~~ carded collector, with all the running changes on these, I'll be buying:

2007 Saga Legends Darth Vader (Saga-013)
2007 Saga Legends Darth Maul (Ep1 Pack-In)
2007 Saga Legends Yoda (RotS #03)
2007 Saga Legends R2-D2 (RotS #48)
2007 Saga Legends General Grievous RotS #09)
2007 Saga Legends C-3PO (Saga-017)
2007 Saga Legends Clone Trooper (RotS #41)
2007 Saga Legends Shocktrooper (Battle Pack)
2007 Saga Legends Battle Droid 2-Pack (Tan)
2007 Saga Legends Battle Droid 2-Pack (Maroon)
2007 Saga Legends Battle Droid 2-Pack (Blaster Damage)
2007 Saga Legends Battle Droid 2-Pack (Lightsaber Damage)
2007 Saga Legends Clone Trooper (Clone Wars 03-50)
2007 Saga Legends Boba Fett (VOTC)
2007 Saga Legends Obi-Wan Kenobi (RotS #55)
2007 Saga Legends Chewbacca (Saga 02-38)
2007 Saga Legends Anakin Skywalker (RotS #02)
2007 Saga Legends Saesee Tiin (RotS #30)
2007 Saga Legends Destroyer Droid (RotS #44)
2007 Saga Legends Clone Trooper (new - SA 501st)
2007 Saga Legends Leia Boussh (Saga-001)
2007 Saga Legends Sandtrooper (Evolutions - White Pauldron)
2007 Saga Legends White Pit Droid 2-Pack w/Toolbox #1
2007 Saga Legends Brown Pit Droid 2-Pack w/Toolbox #1
2007 Saga Legends Brown Pit Droid 2-Pack w/Toolbox #2
2007 Saga Legends Red Pit Droid 2-Pack w/Toolbox #2
2007 Saga Legends Imperial Officer (Head #1)
2007 Saga Legends Imperial Officer (Head #2)
2007 Saga Legends Imperial Officer (Head #3)
2007 Saga Legends Darktrooper
2007 Saga Legends Clone Commander (Evolutions - Ep3 Grey)
2007 Saga Legends Clone Officers (EE Set - Red)
2007 Saga Legends Clone Officers (EE Set - Yellow)
2007 Saga Legends Clone Officers (EE Set - Blue)
2007 Saga Legends Clone Officers (EE Set - Green)
2007 Saga Legends Scout Trooper (VTSC)
2007 Saga Legends TC-14
2007 Saga Legends RA-7 (Sandcrawler)
2007 Saga Legends R4-I9

That's right, 39 - THIRTY-NINE carded figures in this line. And that is only counting the variations that we know about know (you know there will be more once they are released).

Add in the fact that Hasbro has already confirmed plans for 60 figures in the main figure line and that is almost ONE HUNDRED basic figures again next year.

I guess I'll kiss that $1000 goodbye right now.

It must be the fallout/backup from the big snowstorm they got last week that is keeping them in Chicago.

I went to see the Wild get their asses handed to them against the Red Wings tonight...

Man did the Wild just look tired and flat. It was a really ugly game, and the final score showed it Detroit 3, MN 0) .

On the "wow" side of the game, Lidstrom had a blistering PP goal from the point - it must have hit the back of the net at 100+ MPH, that thing just flew off the stick and locked up Manny right where he stood (I don't think Fernandez ever even saw it coming).

$354.99 January
$240.39 February
$100.78 March
$111.68 April
$179.68 May
$112.07 June
$648.07 July

$147.78 November

Stuff I bought in the past month:
30th Anniversary Commemorative Tins (3 openers)
Galactic Heroes 2-Packs (4 openers)
Galactic Heroes Cinema Scene 10-Packs (4 openers)
Shipping Expenses (Padded Mailers and Tape)

Pretty well controlled spending this month; just the GH stuff and the three OT Tin sets. Got a bit of cash back selling some of the extra/duplicate GH figures, but still another $100+ month. Next month? Kubricks: Series 7, Imperial Speeder Biker Box Set, and possibly the Carded Shadow Stormtrooper. My wallet hurts already...
