30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 30AC Variations and Errors

Apparently the Comic Packs Wave 3 Luke/Mara set is shipping with a variation... Mara has a blue/purple or green lightsaber:



Thanks to Jayson for the heads up.  ;)

How would you feel about the Evolutions subline taking this over, or, which would you rather have - the return of Evolutions or more VTSC? 

Hasbro has said in the past that to do more Evolutions sets, something else most likely has to get dropped.  In 2005, Hasbro said that the reason there were no "Vintage" figures is because that budget went to create the Evo sets.  Here is what they said on the topic back in a March 2007 Q&A answer:

There is the heart and soul of our figure line - the basic figure mainline, which consumes a good chunk of our design resources - and then there is "all other" which includes or has included vintage, comic packs, Battle Packs (when they have new figures), exclusives (ditto), and Evolutions packs over the past couple years. Each of these takes resources from our pool, and vintage in particular is extremely resource intensive. That's why as long as other lines are going you won't see a huge offering of vintage like you did in 2004, when it was the only ambitious new subline in that lineup. Also add to that the fact we are trying to do more new or substantially refreshed figures in the mainline and you see that we just can't drop big sublines into our production without risking derailing something else. Instead we make sure that we can deliver everything in the "bites" that keep collectors excited, but it just takes more time to get around to everything probably everyone wants.

Here is the key - "we just can't drop big sublines into our production without risking derailing something else. "

Based on past Hasbro comments, I don't think the Vintage line is done, but I won't be surprised if it skips a year again because of the money being spent on the new Evo sets...

I spun this thread off since it's an exclusive vehicle (and not really part of the $20 ship assortment).

And, just so folks can find it in this thread too, here's the DPCI:

Kubricks / Re: eBay

Is there an auction thread available anywhere?
KN has one so I thought maybe it would be OK here.

Advertising/posting personal ebay auctions is not allowed here at anytime or anyplace, sorry.  It is a site-wide policy that goes for Kubrick, Hasbro, GG, etc.

This thread was to be used for pointing out ebay Kubrick scams, pic stealers, fakes, bad sellers, etc.

For those wanting one last look at the Hasbro's 2007 San Diego Comic Con booth, Hasbro has posted a pile of podcasts that they recorded at the show.  The podcasts cover a range of upcoming Hasbro products, including Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

Collecting actual physical 30AC coins isn't enough for you?

Then be sure to check out Hasbro's new Star Wars Galaxy of Coins to collect another 50 vitual coins!   :P

What is the Fett made of Jeff, I was under the impression he was just a VOTC repaint, but now I'm intrigued.

He is mostly the VOTC body, but he has new weapons, new belt/waist w/holster, new cape, and at least 1, maybe 2 new hands.  You can also see a few sculpt detail tweaks too (though those could just be a mold re-use issue too).

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 2007 30AC UGH Promotion
« on: August 10, 2007, 04:20 PM »
That'd be a lot of extras, or not so much?

Not so much really... I ended up with:

- all 12 UGH Figures (for me)
- my 14x Wave 4 figures (7 carded, 7 loose)
- a set of 7x Wave figures for a MN pal
- 5 more Wave 4 figures for other MN guys

That's 38, leaving just 10 extra pegwarmers to sell or return to Target/Wal-Mart.  ;)

So, I got all 4 of my wave 4 UGH cases today, which means I've got a full set of Wave 4 too.  ;)

Hands down, my favorites are the two Cantina Aliens.  I love Cantina aliens and these two are fantastic figures to go with the other recent additions.  Maybe not as much articulation as some would like, but they are great to me.  :)

Luke is pretty good too.  I haven't messed with him too much yet, but he seems pretty good - one thing I didn't notice in any of the pics so far is that he comes with a Lightsaber hilt tucked into that belt of his.  His hand being "battle-damaged" is a bit of a distraction though.

As for the rest -
- CZ-4 is very well done.  Lotsa articulation and a great sculpt and deco.   
- Umpass's legs are such that he is pretty much only good for banging his drum, but he has decent articulation in his arms.  Plus, his hat is removable.  Very huge figure too, bulky.
- Concept Vader is fine, just another Vader to me.
- Animated Fett is a cool concept too - great weapons and a nice kitbash of existing Fett parts with some new ones.

All and all, a very cool wave.

Open 'em up, open 'em up!!1! :D

Nope.

Do you have a loose set for the coin album

Nope.

are you planning on picking up another set to finish off the album??

Nope.  One carded set is good enough for me.  :)
