My haul August 1st...

3 piece Vader
Bane
Yarna
Ewoks (cute!)
Luke
Han
Chewie

Got them at Target with a "price-cut" to $6.99

Funny thing, more than half of all the figures on the pegs had that retarded "First day of issue" sticker crap on them

I saw the Hoth Speeder Bike Patrol pack...the figs look like shit on a shingle! The shoulder armor from the snow troopers does not fit AT ALL with the scout trooper! Looked like there were gigantic basketballs on their shoulders.

I have to thank Hasbro for being kind enough to reissue C3PO with the articulated knees, so's I can put him in the Falcon. That aside, it really is a great version of the character, and I don't see ever needing another. The only two other 3po figures I had ever opened were both POTF2 versions- Orange Card (crap) and Sale of the Droids (not bad, but extremely dirtified).

Found the evo pilots #2 set today, while I am digging on it, it's no where near as good as the new Joe DVD battle packs, but still good...still good.

The Evo packs just didn't seem worth it to me. I was going to get the Rebel Pilot set, but changed my mind when I saw it in person. The I didn't want the EU figure from the #2 pilots set, so that was out as well.

Stop complimenting them!

Hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day!

My psychosis is acting up again. I seem to have misplaced the stand for my TFU Battle Damaged Vader. As a result, I've torn apart my fucking office and rearranged pretty much all my shit, knocking over nearly 70 vintage figures in the process.

Still no fucking stand, either.

That is what you get for buying a piece of crap.

Yeah, he is kinda junkie... but no one ever mentions how SOLID this fucking Vader is. It's made of iron or something - super heavy. The only thing I really dislike about the figure is the paint job on the helmet/head - it's bad when you really examine it. The cool part is, though, that the armor takes a kicking but he's still ready to whoop some ass.

With a foot as big as his, he better kick ass

Did anyone here actually get the AT-TE?

I keep seeing comments that the legs don't support the weight, and prescribing a certain size of rubber tubing to insert to fix it.

What the fuck?

Hasbro is selling a $100 toy that doesn't even fucking work? How do they get away with this? They do realize that, using their own logic, 99% of these will be sold to kids, right? Do they expect kids to play with something that costs that much and just falls apart?

Shit, for $100, that motherfucker had better walk around the house and obey my orders.

I havent gotten it yet. Part of it is because of that and the other part is kids going back to school, they need clothes/supplies and thats more important

I think you're an idiot. -Sal

I got the AT-TE and I haven't had any problems with the legs. One of the feet came off when I pulled it off, but I put it back on. But apparently, the problem is when it's on hard surfaces, and so far I've only had it on carpet. I think it's fine, though.

So...how long before people are buying the new BFF Falcon, and sticking one of the older ones back in the box and returning it?
