star wars "saga"

Don't buy them; just get Yarna and the AT-TE, which people have been bitching about for years and don't even care now that they're released.

Just saw the Toyfare pictures.

Was that black figure Sgt Dollyan? I don't understand why they made the ROTJ Deleted Scene figures. The "Droid Factory" thing looks gay.

Anyway, I'll get Yarna, the ewok, rebel Pilots evolutions, Ak Rev, Sgt Dollian(or whatever his name is), and maybe the Hoth battlepack (with the R5 and Probe Droid). It's not going to be a very expensive SW year for me.

I am not buying them, I will get what you mentioned and a few others, about it. I am going to basically stick to movie figs and comic packs it seems.

And I just noticed they are making a new Thrawn. I guess the trade value of mine is taking a dive.

Are you joking? I can practically hear the fangasms about the AT-TE and Yarna.

Did anybody notice the face sculpt on desert do-rag Han? Has this been used before? It looks outstanding, and so does the Luke one.

Xizor looks pretty good, a definite step up from the last one, but what the fuck happened to Leia?
She looks like she got beat the fuck up and has massive cankle action goin' on.
The should've made Guri instead.



The Slicker's Mom (Prom Dress) has an eerie likeness.


And that Jedi deleted scene trio looks like absolute shit (as does 99% of the new shit).

[vynsane]

that's the ugliest slave leia i've EVER seen.

Clearly you didn't go to CIV.

[jjreason]

Xizor & Cankles likely does warrant a purchase - he's really SWEET looking.

Where's this Jedi 3 pack you guys are talking about ? Me wanna c it.

Where's this Jedi 3 pack you guys are talking about ? Me wanna c it.

They're talking about the three figures (Luke, Han, and Chewie) based on the deleted sandstorm scene from ROTJ. It's not a three-pack.

I was reading the other site's Q&As from the other site. Is it just me, or does this almost sound like a reply from our Q&A?

JediInsider.com: What is your favorite Star Wars movie?
Hasbro: OK, we'll play along. We canvassed eleven members of our team, and came up with some interesting findings. Of the 11, 3 prefer A New Hope ("the original Star Wars") and the other 8 have a single-minded devotion to Empire Strikes back as their favorite. The simple asking of this question, and the debate that ensued, has caused tempers to flare, harsh words that cannot be taken back, and crushed and bruised feelings littered across the Hasbro landscape. It has left a lasting divide that may never be healed. Thanks a lot.

[Senor JabbaJohnL]

At least they seem to have a sense of humor. Many of the questions that are asked, I could figure out the answer before it was asked; even at SSG the next round asks another question about why the CW figures are animated-style, which they've already answered like three times.

[Ran]

Oh, and have one more good look at all those packages then fire them into the recycling. Maybe keep an example card from each line for posterity (I have kept a figure carded from most packaging types, just to look at).

Well, I pitched them. Its hard to believe I just chucked 13 years of cardbacks. I kept 1 mailer box from the Cantina band, Oola's box, and Mustaf and Kabe's box.

I also went through my carded figures and let my kids open the army builders. 12 figures to be exact. We also opened my OTC Bespin Leia and Ghost of Obi-Wan that I forgot about. The darker, grungy paint job on that Gammorean Guard re-release looks pretty good, well, for what is really a POTF2 figure.
