I can't believe we never got AOTC versions of our favorite Tatooine inhabitants... think we'll finally see them in the ROTS lineup?  Screen scene perhaps?

 

I think this should be a very fun vehicle to army-build - and probably not too expensive either - who else likes this design?



 

Just wondering... I think that 3 of the 4 figures are great for the preview wave, but wish perhaps that they had added in a second army builder...

What if you could have changed the assortment, by taking one figure out and replacing it with another?  What would you have changed?

I would have moved either Tion Medon or R4G9 to the basic ROTS figure assortment, and added in a SA Clone Trooper...

So, my case assortment would have been -

4 x Clone Trooper
4 x Wookiee Warrior
2 x Grievous
2 x Tion Medon or R4G9

What do you all think?  Who the hell wouldn't have liked to see the SA Clone Trooper already?   

 

I know that a few guys have their own personal websites.  I have a few pics I'd like to be able to post here to show you guys, but I need them hosted somewhere.  Not necessarily a ton of images, just some customs that I'd like a bit of advice on. 

I've got a few customs that are in the works that I could maybe use a bit of help on... so if anyone wants to, please email me at pike1067@earthlink.net.  Thank you.

 

I think that we will definitely be seeing more of these sometime down the road... despite the terrible selection of rehashes they put in most of these, all the TRU's in my area are sold out of most of them... just a few of the Skiff Guard sets hanging around I think.  So surprising that people actually bought the Jedi 4-pk...

Anyways, anyone still seeing the Kaadu 4-pk?  That seemed to be the hottest one in my area since the Imperial Forces one.  That Kaadu looked great, and it came with quite a few good army-builders, as well as the hard to find Naboo red guard dude.

Think we'll see more?  Want to see more?  I think we will, but don't know how much I want to see more... only if they come up with some really good ideas, like my ideas!!!    With sometimes a new figure in there to spice things up, but a lot of these could be well done kit bashes and rehashes of rarer figures.

TPM

- Mos Espa

Graxol, red Twi'lek, Bib Fortuna, riding Qui Gon w/ Eopie

- Coruscant

Wookie Senator, Rodian Senator, Ishi Tib Senator, Ree Yees Senator w/ Senate Pod


AOTC

ANH

-  CT Stormtrooper, Tarkin (Ozzel body), Imperial Officer (4th head), TIE Pilot w/ circular Imperial Command Console

- R5D4 (Star Tours), Owen Lars (new), Beru (POTF2), CT Jawa w/ Gonk Droid & Moisture Vaporator


ESB

- feeling dumb, can't think right now


ROTJ

- help me out here guys - maybe some Jabba's Palace aliens or Emperor's throne room set w/ seated Palpatine?

 


 

I know it's still a bit early, but we've seen a few SPOILER pics so far and some rumors floating around, so here's a few I've come up with.

Dooku's Demise
- seated Palpatine, Anakin/Dooku in heated clash

Wookiee Rage
- Wookie Commando ripping Clone Trooper's arm out of socket, second Clone Trooper

Sith Revealed
- Anakin (Vader), Windu and Palpatine shooting force lighting at Windu

A New Hope
- Padme's death bed w/ Padme on medical bed, alien doctor, robed Obi Wan Kenobi and baby twins


I always think these are fun, so everyone join in.  Let's see if we can all think of a few.  I've got more ideas but need to get back to the grind at work.   

 

I know, I know.  Most people hate repacks.  Usually I'm one of them, but I think that a few are healthy for the hobby. 

For those in favor of the idea, what figures would you like to see repacked maybe in 2006 so you could purchase them for army-building, customs, finally getting at a fair price, or want to see on a nice cardback, etc.  I'd like to see the following for openers/customs/army-building, and will include some PT figures as well, since some are on POTC cards anyway now:

TPM

- Sio Bibble
- Amidala (accension gun)
- Pit Droid 2-pk
- Darth Sidious (holographic)

AOTC

- Battle Droid (red)
- Amidala Factory Chase (new head)

ANH

- McQuarrie Stormtrooper
- Death Star Droid
- CT Leia
- TIE Pilot
- Imperial Officer (4th head)
- Obi Wan (Dagobah spirit painted like a normal figure)
- Stormtrooper Han (use CT or VOTC Stormtrooper body)
- Stormtrooper Luke (use CT or VOTC Stormtrooper body)

ESB

- Bespin Guard (2nd head)
- Bespin Guard (3rd head)
- Ugnaught 2-pk (repainted slightly)
- AT-AT driver (TIE Pilot repainted)
- Stormtrooper (CT version I guess, but VOTC would be better!)

ROTJ

- Jedi Luke (just a great figure, so why not)
- Gamorrean Guard (w/ new articulated wrists)
- Teebo (repainted into a different Ewok)
- Ree Yees
- Ishi Tib
- Ephant Mon
- Amanaman


Ok, that's 26 repacks... kind of a lot.  But I think they would sell.
