I'm going to have to keep an eye out for the Mando & FU packs.

Anyone else speculating this on the FU set:

The Jedi and Sith included with the Secret Apprentice are actually two of the possible endings to the game.

I thought that had been regarded as a given.

Yeah Scott, I think that's the guess...  News on the game has implied a "path choosing" option similar (but probably nowhere near as complex) as in Knights of the Old Republic...  Two distinc paths that lead to two distinct endings.

It's not unheard of in much older SW games as well.  Jedi Knight, which is quite old (but still cool) now, had the option to choose a light or dark path for Kyle Katarn...  It kind of nicely tied things up too, so that either path fit with the continuity into Mysteries of the Sith and such.

Cracked open all but the TFU sets last night. Without going into detail, these are some of the best figure Hasbro's ever done. The Fetts are pretty definitive as well as the Jedi. I can gripe about Qui-gon's head and neck, but compared to the outstanding body, it's hardly worth mentioning. Everyone should be extremely pleased.

I really hope these aren't hard to find. If they are the Fett pack will be one pain in the a** to find.

glad I got mine! I could have had two since I ran across one at target also on Sunday! They have the Jango in an awesome pose. Looking hard for the Sith Appreantice, no luck so far.

My case from Newforce came Monday, but I wasn't able to get pics until tonight -





































And I already had taken these of the Jango I got off of ebay last week -

Nice pics Chewie. That shirtless Maul looks pretty good for a Visionaires Maul custom. That Qui-Gon looks awesome too.

I really like the Mandalorians and the Darth Nihilus!  Also glad that Darth Bane's ultra-gay armor is removable.
This is the way.

That armor reminds me of one of the Micronauts Sub-lines.

Ultra-Gay is an understatement.
These sets overall blew me away, especially the Boba and Jango. The head/helmet proportions look great and the Boba colors are 100% movie accurate. He make the VOTC Boba look like a POTF2 figure. I found Mandolore to be quite useless as is Bane. While sporting a great head sculpt & cool saber, Bane's outfit, is a little too reminiscent of Playmates 90's Skeleton Warriors line.



Nihilus and Maul are awesome and the TFU set is perfect all around. I am really glad I ordered another case, the customs potentials are endless with these.

After getting my case from New Force I definately want extras of the Jedi set and the Sith set. Maybe the TFU set as well.

I picked up a Jedi set today at Walmart, for customs.

Jack - if you don't want your Mandalore figure(s) please shoot me a PM...
