I'm bummed nobody wanted a new battledroid.  My Clones are shooting at thin air these days...  or droids already laying on the ground due to their own weight.

Glad on the sculpt on the Utapau grunt...  Perplexed why he's in this wave and why Hasbro didn't just put out a SA AOTC Clone instead.  It would've made more sense and sold equally well given the lack of armies I see of that style Clone.  I'd have bought more anyway.

Haven't caught this wave yet but looking forward to it some.  Sora Bulq I'm happy with that he's being done and he's pretty poseable up top at least but I still can't get over the knee joints Ook.  To me, the ankles should've been sacrificed for knees since you really can get a lot more out of the knees than you can those ankle joints.  Not that they aren't cool too, but they just don't come in quite as handy as good knee articulation does.  it's like Veers' boots swiveling at the top...  Why?  Just give him knee joints and you can swivel his boots around all you want AND have him running in battle or whatnot.  Not that he did, but he should be able to.

Sora and Scorch though, yeah it hurts them a LOT more that they don't have the articulation they deserve.  Two all action characters, and both limited in leg articulation.  Blah.

yeah, once we get a half-assed Mace Windu figure it'll be a fun ship to put him in.

I like it, it looks nice...  Little bummed not to have a good loose droid for it though, as I'm not a big fan of always displaying it with the droid inside, but I think the ship is quite nice whoever it may belong to.

Kit's will be welcome to if it's coming and is the ROTS sculpt.  The AOTC fighter lacked a bit to me due to the action feature but the ROTS one is spot-on so I'm all for the reuse of this beast.

Now where's my goddam blue McQuarrie A-Wing?

Up to almost $400 and "reserve not met".

People are goofy.

that's a good eye In-Rem, it does look the same and not surprising given Hasbro likes to cheap it up as much as possible on those packs.  I was sorta surprised it seemed new, so maybe it's just more brand re-use of molds across the company.

I tend to pass the figures onto someone who wants them but their gear I find lots of uses for.

Though for mini-guns I'm gonna be lookin' for that Clone battlepack.

They're talking about it a lot around the U.S. I guess.  I know it was something they were talking up on the Stern show for the past couple days, and he's no fan of hockey or sports in general so it's making headlines.

Of course it made headlines bigtime in Pittsburgh because of Tocchet's ties here.  He's remembered fondly, but it's seemingly all over the place, not just in my area.

I think it's the factors though of a major sports figure and a hot ass chick that are garnering the headlines more than anyone giving a **** if athletes are corrupt or not.

Back to the Stern thing for a moment, I agree with him that any chick being that apseshit with betting and gambling really loses a lot of "hotness" in my eyes.  It isn't "cute" gambling anymore and goes to a whole new level of unattractiveness.  It's like a girl being a little buzzed compared to being a sloppy ass drunk.  Really knocked her down some pegs.

Nice update Darth Ennis...

-The Katarn figure is interesting and seems pretty accurate but the head is very Obi-Wan, that's my only thought on it that I think I would change.  The Hasbro Katarn head isn't bad, it just lacks detail in paint aps that it needs to really bring out the likeness I think.  If you could track a cast down perhaps, or a cheap Katarn figure (less likely) it would be cool to use that head and paint it up I think.  The rest of the work looks pretty sharp though...  You could add more accessories for all his gear, or if you got the Katarn figure itself it comes with 2 of his weapons (the Bryar's a good bit more accurate than Cobra Commander's pistol, so it might be worth picking it up?).  Overall very cool though, and Katarn figures are in short supply in customizing I think.  Given the character's popularity and pretty extensive background with different outfits and "looks" and all.

-Smuggler Lando...  I have never been too big on getting a Smuggler Lando myself, but I think you pulled off a pretty cool figure that looks like he raided Han's closet.  The collar looks accurate, everything looks nice...  My thought though is that, and I may be one of the only ones here, I would have used the Cantina sculpt because it's a little bulkier and Billy Dee Williams always looked a little bigger than Harrison Ford's body size in ANH.  Ford was smaller in 76 when the film was being made than he was in 79 when ESB was wrapping up it seemed, so the ANH sculpt of the VOTC figure that's really accurate to a thin Ford doesn't necessarilly match up to Billy Dee's build as I can picture it.  I just see him having a little more bulk to him.  Since you see him from only the waist up you could also take some creative license with the holster area if you wanted to change him up I think, but only if you wanted to set it off from Solo a bit more.

-Dyed Fett...  That's pretty neat the way it came out but I agree it is indeed missing something.  A repaint of the gauntlets is where I'd start, and I'd cover the emblems of Fett's armor if this isn't supposed to be him particularly.  Now beyond that you could do away with the cape maybe and give him either a more full one (not so tattered?), paint some new design on the armor perhaps, and just maybe clean the figure up a bit (less battered/war torn looking).  And give him a new custom gun.  cut some bits up, make him a new blaster all his own.  Could be pretty cool I think and would set the figure off from resembling Fett so much.
