Watto's Junk Yard / The Great 2008 Collector's Challenge
« on: January 1, 2008, 09:35 PM »
Time for... The Official Thread for 2008. 
For Reference:
The Great 2007 Collector's Challenge
The Great 2006 Collector's Challenge
The Great 2005 Collector's Challenge
The Great 2004 Collector's Challenge
-----
I am really, really hoping to get my spending back below the $1500 per year mark this year.
I haven't been able to keep my spending that low since I started the Kubrick thing in late 2004 (damn 'brick addiction), but that won't stop me from trying to limit things (and failing miseably) in 2008.

I got kind of lazy with the monthly updates, but my final damage for 2007 = $1823.58
2004 - $1596.98
2005 - $2354.81
2006 - $2995.42
2007 - $1823.58
Yay! A significant decrease from last year (mostly due to giving up carded collecting)!
Hopefully 2008 will be even less...

Other Collectibles / Re: New Deformed Figures from Japan
« on: January 1, 2008, 05:36 PM »
The latest batch of the deformed figures are now listed on TOMY's Japan Star Wars Site with a February 2008 date.
Also, it seems as though there are definitely two chase pieces:
K-3PO and R2-Q5

The Legacy Collection / Re: TOY FAIR 2008
« on: January 1, 2008, 05:07 PM »
It will be interesting to see the plans for Clone Wars, but I'm looking forward the most to seeing 2008 Waves 3, 4, and beyond.
2007 was a good year for new OT figures and I hope that 2008 can give us few more Cantina Aliens and Jabba's Palace dudes also.

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: Anakin's Clone Wars Jedi Starfighter
« on: December 31, 2007, 03:29 PM »
Whenever I think of Anakin's Clone Wars Starfighter, I think of this monstrosity. 
I'd rather see Hasbro take a stab at that LEGO one than re-releasre this crazy ship again...

The Vintage Collection / Re: Hasbro Q&A Sessions
« on: December 28, 2007, 07:11 PM »My guess (and hope since i dont think we will be getting new characters) is for the comic pack to have all new updated figures of Dash Rendar and Xizor
If you remember back to November, the Comic Pack rumor list that popped up said that 2008 Wave 2 had a Princess Leia & Prince Xixor set planned.
Wave 2
Grand Admiral Thrawn and Talon Karrde
Darth Vader and Admiral Trachta
Princess Leia and Prince Xizor

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 2008 Order 66 packs?
« on: December 28, 2007, 12:58 PM »
Yeah, that "Figure 2-Pack" DPCI turned up back in October...
087-06-0672 Star Wars 2-Pack Figure Assortment $5.99
No one still seems to know what exactly it is... there were rumors of it being 2-packs of the Mini-Unleashed or a new DPCI for the GH figures, but nothing has been confirmed yet I guess. Definitely not the Order 66 sets though.

I'm going to go with the same reason why Lois Lane can't see that Superman is Clark Kent.
"Because", that's why.

Sideshow has confirmed that they will be able to offer this piece in the USA.
Kind of nice that they can bring these in. No word yet on what they will be charging though...

Kubricks / Re: MCC Darth Maul with Sith Speeder Box Set
« on: December 26, 2007, 03:51 PM »
I would expect it to be similar to the last bike box set (Scout Trooper & Speeder Bike), which sells for around $100-$120 on eBay.

Kubricks / Re: MCC Blue Stars Snowtrooper
« on: December 26, 2007, 03:44 PM »Any of you more experienced kubie guys have a guess as to what these will go for on Ebay? I'd really like to get one, but don't want to get my hopes up if the cost is going to be astronomical.
Since it's a 2007 piece edition, the range should be anywhere from $60 to $120. It definitely should be cheaper than the rarer Parco Show carded figures since those are usually only 150-500 piece edition sizes.
It's a repaint EU trooper, so it could bottom out around $60 like the Shadow Stormtrooper and Holo Leia figures did. But, the fact that it has "Kenner Vintage" appeal probably means that it will hover closer to the $100 mark like the Droids carded R2 and Fett figures have done.
