30th Anniversary Collection / Re: How big is your army?
« on: April 26, 2005, 09:21 PM »
My amazing holy crap Spufftacular army:

1 Clone Commander
2 Clone Pilots
1 AT TE Gunner
1 Grievous Bodyguard
1 Blue Royal Guard
1 Red RG
2 Wookie Warriors

I did see TONS of Clone Commanders and Pilots today, which should ease some of the concern around here about not finding them.

Target is the best place to shop for SW right now, but this thing has diaster written all over it.  I should know, I attended C3.

After a variety of greyhounds and a night in Chicago, I've arrived safe and tired back in Loo Town.

These have to be the coolest thing this year.  I already feel like a sucker for buying inferior versions on ROTS Anakin.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: C3 Hasbro Q & A

If they don't do the twins in some form, I will quit.  With all the exclusive crap (no C3 Vader for me) and headaches with keeping up, they make it very easy for a lifelong SW fan to walk away.  "They're action figures not stand there and look at them figures?"  How about "They're just toys, people.  Not state secrets."

Revenge of the Sith / Re: What Hasbro really wants to do...
« on: April 25, 2005, 06:00 PM »
The impression I got from the guys from Hasbro (and they were more cagier than before) was that things like the AT-TE would never happen unless someone like TRU went to bat on it.   I don't know.  They did seem to indicate a willingness, but of course they 'want' to do everything.  I asked about more figures this year past 56 ('yup') and Padme's ('wait and see' = 'yup') and Evolutions Obi Wan (see Padme).

I actually got more from the lady running the Hasbro toy shop thing.  I was surprised they were going so gung ho with it after being so resistant for so long.  She made it sound like the wave of the future.

I didn't even get  the chance to get him at C3 (the line was EIGHT hours long when I got there Friday afternoon) and now I get home today and he's sold out of shop already.

Except for the five minutes of footage Rick McCallum showed, it was a very disappointing experience.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: Any ROTS figures you will pass on?
« on: April 14, 2005, 02:39 AM »
I found #37-40 (except the AT TE Gunner) today, and I passed on them, only because it was Kohl's and $7.  I can wait, which seems to be the prevailing theme with all of these guys.  Today I saw every figure available except for the aforementioned Gunner, and I doubt that will change much.

Spuff needs C3 money, and thus I must come to pass with things I no longer desire:

MOC Toy Fair 2002 Vader: What's fair for this?  I'm thinking $100 shipped.  ???  LMK if this is right.

UPDATE: Sold to ruiner.   :)

I think kids are still a sizable part of it, but like you said, they only care about the lightsabers and guns.  I saw this same thing around here this past week.  Only one or two kids paid any of the figures any attention, and Hasbro has some bridges in Brooklyn to sell if they think any kid is going to absorb 56 of these in the span of a summer.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: Holo Yoda?
« on: April 10, 2005, 04:46 PM »
I got one of only 12 my store got.  I'm glad I went early, I would have been upset if I missed out on him.  They had the ARC-170 but no new figs.  I bought five I didn't have yet.

I went to TRU today to get Yoda, and now my little ROTS collection looks like this:

Luminara Unduli
Grievous Two Arms Just Weren't Enough
Plo Koon
Obi Wan #1
Kit Fisto
Clone Commander
Clone Pilot
Palpatine Saber Surprise
Tarfful
Anakin Robes
Obi Wan Jedi Kick
Padme
Agen Kolar (2)
Mace
Count Dooku
Grievous' Bodyguard
Royal Guard Blue

2985
I actually like him.  He can be better, but he's miles ahead of all other Maces, save for the Sneak Peek one.  I put the Agen Kolar robes on him and he looks very cool.
