I saw that on the Creature Cantina Q&A. Fuck, is that site dumb. That vibrator/droid penis thing was kinda funny but I hate the rest of their shit, especially after the faggot who runs the site was being a huge dick when Steve was going through problems last year with the other site.

I loved the auction. It was much better than Cats.

The Q&A answers for this week have come out.

They want to do Yarna, supposedly, but have no idea when they could get to it.

They haven't ruled out the Lars family, but have been (and still are) focusing on "more interesting" E3 figures. I guess that means more Neimoidians in the pipeline.

Never mind that Cliegg isn't in E3, and he's the one everyone wants most.

A new Dr Evazan is not out of the question, but not for a few years. It was apparently a higher priority to make a third resculpt of Greedo and Momaw Nadon first.

I really don't understand their logic. I've never seen a business less concerned with making its regular customers happy.

I've decided most people on the planet are there just to piss everyone else off. These people run Hasbro, ruined baseball, and are the jackasses that don't know how to drive. They probably run the DMV and most of the federal government.

Did you see the answer about the price of battlepacks vs. regular figures? By that logic, shouldn't the Legends wave be cheaper?

I went to KB today, and they had the Pilot Biggs and Rebel Guard. Then I realized they were having a 2 for $10 sale, so I bought a 2nd Rebel Guard and a DS Trooper. I hope the heads on the Guard and DST are interchangeable.

Thanks Rogue II, now I can ask them another question, Lets all vote for that question Rogue II posed about the cost of the saga legends line, see how they respond to that....

For all the shit answers, they also had some good ones this week, I think, like revealing the "Starkiller Hero" figure.

On another note, is anyone else fucking sick of all the complaining about the size of the Sith Infiltrator? I mean, god damn it, it was in the movie for less than a minute and didn't do a damn thing. Nobody ever complained about every single other vehicle in the line being way too small, but now that the beloved Sith Infiltrator isn't nine feet long, the bitching begins.

I'm just mad it doesn't have ankle articulation.

Nothing else has been so off-scale.

Not even General Greivous?

He's supposed to be about 8-9 feet tall, and he's 6 feet tall.

The Sith Infiltrator is supposed to be about the size of the Falcon, and it could fit in Maul's back pocket.

Senor JabbaJohnL · Post by **Senor JabbaJohnL** » Sun May 13, 2007 10:11 pm

I'd say the Infiltrator is about half as big as it should have been. The Falcon's cockpit can barely fit two figures uncomfortably while it should be able to seat four and still have more than enough room, and the Sandcrawler's wheels in the film are quite a bit taller than Obi-Wan and Luke but on the toy they go like halfway up their thighs. I know they were vintage molds, but they've also been rereleased in the modern line and are way more iconic than Maul's ship - I mean, Christ, Maul's the only character that interacted with it in the film and we don't even see him inside it.

I'm not getting the damn thing, but I did WANT it (probably more than any other ship) for a long time. I realized it wouldn't be effective to have it scale sized because it IS only a single seater ship, but I was hoping they would at least get it about the size of an X-Wing and not a Landspeeder.

I'm sitting on about $10,000 worth of Star Wars merchandise from 1996 until 2005.

I hate Hasbro.

Just as I complian about the numerous releases of Vader, Hasbro announces a new re-paint wave to replace the "Video Game" wave. Sure enough...Holo Vader is among the figures. You know, from that scene where....um...yeah, anyway.

BITE ME, HASBRO!

I found a Target store I haven't been to before on my way back from a meeting today. They had the Order 66 packs on clearance for $6.88. Are you guys good to go on these things?

Also, I picked up the Transformer Classic Optimus Prime for $5. Seemed like a good price. My brother will probably get it for Christmas. It looked like all of the other non-movie Transformers were gone, unless they were hidden in a different aisle.

I am good on the 66 packs, didnt want any of the rehashed shit this time. Thanks for looking out though.

Ran · Post by **Ran** » Fri May 18, 2007 5:05 pm

It was the first time I've seen those packs actually in the SW section. The othe 3 Targets I've been to all had them on an endcap near the registers. Since I don't collect Prequel stuff, I haven't really looked at them and have no idea what the original price on the set is or who was in the sets. It looked like a main character with a clone. They are probably all re-releases, so I don't know how people can get excited about them. At least with the majority of battlepacks, it is one main character with some army builders.
