Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Minneapolis Bridge Collapse
« on: August 1, 2007, 09:55 PM »
I haven't been to a Twins game, but I'm thinking maybe (hopefully) cell reception isn't the best in the dome and that's why we can't get through to him right now.

Like Jay said, cell phones are really hit-or-miss at the moment here now due to volume.  The game is still going on as they decided to keep those 20k people in the dome rather than release them to the highways, which are really, really backed up.

I know tons of people who use that bridge everyday, hopes and prayers that they are all right.  They are only reporting 1 fatality at the hospitals so far, but that does not include those who were dead at the scene.    :-\

NewForce is now shipping Wave 2 and Wave 2.5 (also called Wave 2, Revision 1). 

Should be hitting all over the place very soon I'd think...

I know it's not technically his birthday yet where he lives, but it is past midnight here in MN and I didn't want to let this one slip by...

Great big birthday wishes going out to JD staff member JediMAC who turns 37 today (Aug 1st).  :o

Happy Birthday Matt, hope you have a fun day!  :)

What retailer and in what state please?

I can't speak for Brent (I think he's in the mid-west), but the store reports that have been mailed to me from various JD readers have said Target and most of those were West Coast locations - CA & AZ.

They will go boxed into an Oscar case.  :P

Wuss.  All the cool kids open them...  8)




The best dang custom made cases around.  ;)

I use Oscar's Cases for all my Carded Kubrick figures and I have always been satisfied with his prices and quality.  :)

Wave 2 already exists, its the octupara gree and 41st wave

I thought Wave 2 was going to be the Force Unleashed wave?  Or will that be 2008 Wave 3?   ???

so the vintage line to me is a dying breed (but also because they are running out of appealing figures to add to the line).

And right there, you just proved that the "Vintage" premium figures are ultimately aimed at kids too.

Think it's a coincidence that we've seen multiple Hans and Lukes in the assortments so far?  Nope, because kids love Han and Luke.  If the line was solely aimed at Collectors, there would be no need to worry about having each wave having a Han/Luke in it.

Sure, the nostalgia evoked by the line is targeted at the older collector set, but the character selection that goes into it shows that Hasbro is thinking about making sure it's appealing to the kids too...

How exactly do you get in for that, buy a ticket for the full weekend? 

Preview Night is open to all pre-registered 4-day and 3-day badge holders, media, and industry professionals.  It's kind of like a "free" night if you buy the big ticket badges.

I guess I'm not surprised by BBTS's announcement, just surprised it took this long for them to confirm what we've been speculating for a while now.

Sucks for those who were waiting, but I guess it's another case of "if it sounds too good to be true..."

I like the "custom made by Hasbro" figures - kind of like a look at "what if" they continued the 25th Anniversary idea to all the figures. :)

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 2007 Star Wars Comic Packs
« on: July 25, 2007, 10:27 PM »
Kinda disappointing (but not surprising) to see more re-paints and kit-bashes end up in the Comic Packs line.  :-\

Mouse/Able - no idea who these guys are, so I have no excitement for them.

RC/SBD - Repaints... but at least they are good army builders.   :)

Shan/Jundlan - Shan looks like a repaint of the Force Unleashed Officer and Luke looks like he's re-using parts from the recent DS/Imperial Officers as well.
