star wars "saga"

[Ran]

Just checked out the Hasbro Panel photos.

Not much to get excited about. Seems like it is all Clones and EU stuff.

2-1B next year. Woo!

I'll probably get the Y-Wing and 20 of the 80 or so figures that are coming out the rest of this year. I might get the Rebel/TIE Pilot comic pack, but I want to see them in person first.

Why do they refuse to put out Rebel and Imperial battle packs like they do for the prequels?

Oh, and we'll probably get the Cantina and Jabba sets for the kids.

Star Wars stuff looked underwhelming. Grievous' spaceship is nice. But thats about it.

Check out this pic. Finally, a GG that looks close to the right size.... but why now, when it makes all of our other versions look totally wrong?

Also - what the FUCK is up with Luke's Cantina Band Member hands???

[Diabolical]

Are you sure Luke isn't just really small?
Maybe thats why he looks so angry, because he's just a wee little guy.

[Ran]

That Luke isn't very impressive. Looks like I'll pass on that one, too.

It seems like there a lot of complaints that the Legends wave is clogging up the pegs. Out here, the must not have hit in full force yet. Most of the stuff on the pegs is the later TSC and first couple waves of TAC.

I havent even laid eyes upon one Legends figure yet.

Nor have we up here at regular retail. I saw a few on sale at a specialty shop.

As far as Grievous's height, Lucasfilm decided to change the CGI character soon before the film came out, but before Hasbro could change the figures (and they said it's more difficult to change the metal thing than it is to change the CGI). That's what they told me at CIV and said that the next Grievouses would be in the correct scale, hence this big guy. Concept Grievous also looks tall, but he actually should be shorter as that's how he started out, but whatever . . .

Everyone go to Tycho's Top 50 EU Figures and show the Ewok movies some love.

Just come up with a list of characters from the Ewok movies, Holiday Special, and older books that don't totally suck ass and put them in there. Otherwise, it's going to be a list of Darth Jacen Solo and his faggy Legacy buds.

[Ran]

Do I have to? First of all, it's against my religion to post in a thread that Tycho started. Secondly, it is an EU thread, making it a double-whammy.

No whammys, no whammys, no whammys, STOP!




Speaking of Ewoks, I bought some of those Topps 30th Anniv. cards. These cards cover more than just the movies. One card is from the Ewok movies and on the back is Teek. As soon as I saw that card, I thought of anarky.

So....

I still have yet to see anything beyond Wave 3.

I've only seen one of the touted McQuarrie figures at retail.

I've seen and passed on the V-Wing and Sith Infiltrator more times than I can count.

I'm honestly debating whether I need to drop $10 for another Mara Jade in the same costume as the old one.

And recently, Hasbro has said, "No Teek. No Jaxxon. You're idiots. Oh, and shut up about Yarna. That's a big maybe. Oh, and no EU from books, either, since we don't have enough sense to actually design anything."

And then I look at the long list of rehashes and resculpts coming out next year, or figures from books and games I never gave a rats' ass about.

Fuck, Hasbro is making this easy to not fucking care about this line anymore. And with the Legacy shit, Lucasfilm is certainly helping.

Can't wait for Hermi Odle, if they actually ever produce the fat fuck.

[anarky]

Fuck me, that stupid EU poll elsewhere.... All these dumb shits wanting stupid shit like "Boba Fett's Wife." Boba Fett never got married! He died in the fucking Sarlaac!!

If those polls are any true indication of what people want, and what Hasbro will make, the EU sublines will be very cheap for me. They say they want to do that Legacy horseshit, and pointblank say, "No Teek or Jaxxon." Fucking fanboy masturbators.

Fuckin' A, man.

But I suppose this saves me money. Less stupid EU crap to buy.

[anarky]

Sad thing is, this is supposedly for kids. What are kids more likely to have read or seen: Legacy or the Ewoks movies?

[Senor JabbaJohnL]

Neither, I think. Those DVDs came and went fast. I still haven't watched either of the cartoon Ewok movies, the second Droids movie, or the second live-action Ewok movie. I can't see a whole bunch of kids getting excited about this shit.
