ACME Character Keys

[DSJ™]

CharacterKey.com mentions expected ship date starting 6/23.

Kind of surprised, even with the relatively low edition number, that the Luke keys are still up for preorder.  I guess this line has cooled significantly.  Hopefully it won't go away though, as they are kind of nifty.  In my continuing quest to cut back and with my budget lower, I had to cancel my Luke order and I've put the rest of my keys up for sale if anyone is interested (I'm keeping Han and probably Fett, but the rest are available).  If they ever get around to making a Chewie, I'll probably bite though.

Meh! Not into that Unleashed crap, pass.

[Mikey D]

Meh! Not into that Unleashed crap, pass.

Ditto.

Loving the Leia key, though. 

(Hoping I'm one of the lucky 100 non-attendees to get one.  The order date and time is already marked on my outlook calendar)

I've had to drop this line because of budget, but that Leia one is awfully tempting.  It looks like it might be difficult for non-attendees to pick up, so maybe that will be my justification for passing.  These are nice, but I don't see me ever having a proper place to display them unfortunately.  If/when they make a Chewie, I'll bite, but I'm likely out for the rest of them.  I have to say the Luke/Leia combo has made it more difficult to pass on these though.

I've been with this line since day 1, after grabbing Yoda at Celebration 3. But for some reason, when they do something from the OT it just doesn't fit, or look right, to me. The original CW versions are amazing, I've got all 16 framed and hung on my wall. But I guess since there isn't a cartoon to match up the animated look of the OT characters with, they just seem odd.

I grabbed the first few like the Boba, TIE Pilot, Slave Leia, Sandtrooper and Tarkin, just because I was on the fence and didn't want to miss out, but I've passed on the rest... and will keep passing. And the 'one-off' characters like Maris Brood? WTF?

[Thrawn]

Love that Leia, and pray I can get in when it goes on sale.  I'm only missing three from the whole line, and it is frustrating since my buddy has one of the three I need, and it is the only one he has. Ugh!

That Mariss Brood one, looks nice, but if it was in a more animated style like the OT and orig Clone wars one I would bit.  I don't know it seems more like the 2nd Yodi one they did last year.

[Dan]

Leia is a much needed addition to the line. Glad to see it, but I'm afraid of missing the small number available.

Force unleashed has been an unreal case of mis-timed associated merchandise. The Rancor and figures were, what several months inf not 6 ahead of the game, and now this comes in when the game is reduced to 1/2 price or less?

I want to see this line continue long enough to get the OT droids, Yoda, and Chewie. After that I am likely to pass, although I could see a cool tusken or jawas key making me think twice before skipping.

[Hemish]

Sigh looks like I will have to resort to ebay for that one.

[DSJ™]

Looks like the Luke (Bespin) key is shipping, my CC was charged by ACME on the 29th.

[Hemish]

yep mine too
