Kubricks / Re: Series 8
« on: June 7, 2007, 11:31 AM »
Last night I had a dream...
I was at the Japan Parco show with Scott and Brent. We were all amazed at all the Kubricky goodness and then we saw them -
- Parco exclusive carded 100% Droids Vlix
- WCC Exclusive 400% Chewbacca
- WonderFest Exclusive Jabba Box Set - Jabba w/Dais, Oola, & Bib Fortuna
- Series 8:
- Ree-Yees
- Tessek
- Hammerhead
- Wuher
- Luke Skywalker (Hoth)
- Princess Leia (Hoth)
We bought extra carded Vlix figures and then all joked how we should charge Dale like $400 for his...
I woke up and was actually sort of upset that it was just a dream...

JD Sports Forum! / Re: NHL 2006-07
« on: June 7, 2007, 10:23 AM »Happy for Teemu.
Yeah, that's about it for me...
I can't say I admire the Ducks style of play after the way they jacked us in the first round (they just seemed "dirty" the whole way through the playoffs with suspensions in each round
) but in the end it got the job done.But, I am happy for Teemu to finally get the chance to hoist the cup...

Episode 1 / Re: Light Up Figures - Where do they fall?
« on: June 7, 2007, 10:16 AM »Do you consider these as part of the "basic" figure collection as they can be removed from the Holograph Projector?
I do consider them part of the line and have both on display...
- I have my Holo Darth Maul on a CT Chip standing behind my Ep1 Holo Sidious.
- My Holo Qui-Gon was just stashed on the Ep1 shelf until ROTS came out. After that, I moved him so that he was standing in my little Polis Massan scene as though him and Yoda were discussing all things glowy-force-spirit.

Site Feedback, Suggestions, and Help / Re: GG image database
« on: June 6, 2007, 02:43 PM »Is there a Gentle Giant image database or did I miss it?
At this time, we do not have one. Our only GG images can be found in the shows/conventions coverage.
Is there one in-work to show bust-ups, mini bust and statues?
At this time, there is not one in the works.
If not on this site where could I find one?
You can find a pretty good one at Gentle Giant Collectors.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 30AC Wave 3 - Tatooine
« on: June 6, 2007, 11:59 AM »I've gotten quite confused about what's in the next 2 or 3 waves.
Wave 3 - ANH - Tatooine
30AC #16 Darth Vader (Death Star Duel)
30AC #17 Biggs Darklighter (Academy)
30AC #18 Luke Skywalker (Tatooine)
30AC #19 Jawa & LIN Droid
30AC #20 Stormtrooper
30AC #21 Concept Chewbacca
Wave 4 - RotJ - Jabba's Palace
30AC #22 M'iiyoom Onith
30AC #23 Elis Helrot
30AC #24 Boba Fett (Animated Debut)
30AC #25 Luke Skywalker (Jedi)
30AC #26 CZ-4
30AC #27 Umpass-Stay
30AC #28 Concept Darth Vader
Wave 5 - Expanded Universe Based
30AC #29 Hermie Odle
30AC #30 C-3PO with Salacious Crumb
30AC #31 Roron Corobb
30AC #32 Yoda with Kybuck
30AC #33 Anakin Skywalker (Tatooed)
30AC #34 Darth Revan
30AC #35 Darth Malak
30AC #36 General Grievous (Pre-Cyborg)
30AC #37 Concept Starkiller Hero
For reasons Hasbro only knows, the two Cantina figures got bumped from the Tatooine Wave into the Jabba's Palace wave, which then bumped Hermie and 3PO into the EU wave...
(BTW, is the fan's choice Legends wave out now, or just the first half...?)
As for the Legends, it is just Wave 1 (of 4) that is shipping now. It does not have any of the "fan choice" figures, those come later.

« on: June 5, 2007, 04:58 PM »There was a $10.34 difference on two figures shipped.
Actually, after talking with Hasbro just now to confirm my order, my difference was $13.03 with the shipping... jerk.

Photonovels and Movies / Re: Save the PN Forum! (aka "If You Build it, Will They Come?")
« on: June 5, 2007, 10:28 AM »An idea I have is for JD to do some kind of 'Customizer Spotlight' feature on their home page like the one on Yakface, which is probably the best place for this stuff , and post info about upcoming photonovels and/or previews on their home page to support us.
Um.... we already do this on the front page with our Custom Chop-Shop Wrap-Up stories.
Jesse and Ryan were using it to show off Customs, UGP updates, PN updates, etc. All things customs really. Things have been busy for both of them lately, so the updates aren't as frequent as they used to be though. I'm sure if you send them PMs and ask about it, they would see there is demand for this sort of thing and pick it up again.

Other Collectibles / Re: Unleashed figures
« on: June 4, 2007, 10:55 AM »For a slightly modified figure, $30 once you figure on shipping is just too much.
Keep in mind that this piece is going to be available through Previews/Diamond Comics, so we will more than likely see lower prices on this than the $25 that SWShop and EE have posted...
Star Wars Shop = $24.99
Entertainment Earth = $24.99

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Super Hero/Comic Book Movies
« on: June 1, 2007, 03:02 PM »Sweet - about time DC got going on something other than Supes and Batman. Wonder if it will be the old lineup, 80's lineup, or current lineup?
All the rumors that I have seen say it would be mostly the 80s "All-New" line-up - Nightwing, Cyborg, Starfire, Changling, Raven, etc. Much like the Cartoon Network version was, but with Nightwing in for Robin (due to licensing). Plus some "new" characters for marketing I'd assume.
They say that the "younger" Titans are all linked to "other" franchises (Robin = Batman, WongerGirl = Wonder Woman, Kid Flash = Flash, etc) so any hopes of a what I consider the real "Teen Titans" movie is pretty much out. Also would rule out a "Young Justice" movie for the same reasons...

January = $53.91
February = $108.14
March = $195.78
April = $186.39
May = $262.53
Year to Date Total = $806.75
Stuff I bought the past month:
30AC Mid-Size Starfighter Vehicles (2 openers)
30AC Star Wars Comic Packs - Wave 2 (3 openers)
30AC Wave 2 - Battle of Yavin (6 carded and 7 openers)
30AC Wave 3 - Tatooine (5 carded and 1 opener)
Kubrick Star Wars 2007 Box Set (1 opener)
Target Exclusive 30AC Order 66 2-Packs (1 opener)
Another month over the $125 budget... waaaaay over this time around.
Man, I bought a TON of stuff in May, and I'm not even counting my C-IV exclusives because I haven't paid the guys for them yet. That means that I'm already 1 day into June with about $80 in C-IV exclusives already, plus a Vintage wave case and Wave 3 case due from New Force. Oh well, at least I managed to get a few months in below budget this year.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Most Anticipated Figure So Far
« on: May 31, 2007, 12:18 PM »
Even after seeing all the new stuff at C-IV, the figures that I am still most looking forward to seeing this year are the EU Pit Droids in the Saga Legends line-up.
I was pretty sure that I was going to have to live without the wave 2 Pit Droid sculpts (from the Holo Sidi and Naboo Guard figure), but after 7 years of waiting, I will finally get to cross them off my list. I am soooo glad that I never pulled the trigger on them for $75 when I saw them on eBay.
