Well, after deciding not to collect this line...these damn Stormtrooper Army Builders have sucked me back in.  I just ordered a few sets...

And now I need a set of Series 2.  Anyone have any extras they're looking to unload?

My local comic shop has been opening series 2 and marking which character is inside so you avoid repeats.

Which really helped me to find Darth Sidious. He and the Royal Guard were $7 each since they're the shortpacks. But I didn't mind, I'm glad to have a complete set.

Now to find the variant Vader and Stormtroopers....

Yeah, cool pix Jess.  Thanks for clearing that issue up for us!

So, did catch this insanity?  2 Blackhole Stormies for $127

Going from bad to worse here.   ::)

Wow, sold those for 12X what he would have paid for them.  That's some pretty serious return.  I'm definitely going to pretend these don't exist (from a completist collector point of view  ;)).  Of course, if someone offered them to me for $20, I'd grab 'em, but not $120.

Are the black hole stormies in regular series 2 cases?

I finally got to see these in person (bust ups, not the black holes!), and they
are much nicer than I thought.

Not that I've ever heard of Adam.

Agreed, I believe they are only available in the SWS.com 3-Packs.

Ok, thanks!
I was kinda thinking that and a few buds and I were having a bit of a debate.
Maybe he`ll get lucky with his set.

ICv2 posted info on the Darth Sidious Holo.  Hope I can find it cheaper than $24.99.  Just want the figs really.

Screw that.  I'll wait to see what he's going for later, but if he stays high, I'll probably ditch all the clear/holo Bust-ups.  This is getting ridiculous...

I'm just sticking to the regular versions of the characters. I got lucky finding the chase Leia, but I really don't like chases at all.

My 3-packs of Stormtroopers arrived from SWS.com today.  Naturally, no Blackhole Stormie for me.  That's OK though, I'm not too sure I'm going to even consider that they exist, it's just easier that way.   ;)

I'll have to play with them tomorrow and see how many configurations I can get out of the 9 that I received.
Yeah, I thought maybe since they sent me a beat up box they'd be nice enough to throw one in ;^)  no luck.

Not out yet.  Official release date says February.  Read March, IMO.  Still listed as a preorder in most places and I'd guess GG will delay it a bit, but not so long as to  overlap with ROTS.
