So I was down in Indiana and there was jack squat to find for ROTS merchandise
. I ended up in a gaming store and broke down and bought a pack of Rebel Storm (booster pack) for $12.95. Not sure if it was a good price, but I wanted to see these things, in hand (aside from the bonus version in my unleased stormie).
They're pretty nice, but they really didn't get me all that fired up. Certainly not fired up enough to buy anymore, though the game pack (or whatever it's called) with the Vader and Luke were tempting. My box had the following:
Tusken Raider
Wookie Soldier
Ithorian Scout
Rebel Trooper
Stormtrooper
Stormtrooper Officer
Sandtrooper on Dewback
I thought that was pretty cool to get three Imperials like that in a single box. I have to confess that I was tempted for about a day, because I thought that was pretty good luck. I wanted to score a Vader as well and thought the starter pack would have been the safest way, plus I guess I would have scored another very rare in the mix (or maybe just a rare?). But I can't complain too much.
The checklist is nice to put in there too, especially wiht the levels of collectability. It did a fine job of discouraging me
Unlike Colman, I could have lived without a complete set, but seeing that Vader is R/VR, Obi is VR, Palpatine is VR as are many of the other figures I wanted, it was easier to not go into it. Most of the commons are fairly disinteresting to me as were many of hte uncommons so why bother?
I'll keep my stormies, but if anyone wants the commons, I'm not at all attached to them.
