star wars "saga"

Fucking ebay has gone full retard with respect to their shipping policies - it's going to cost me an arm & leg (& a nut & 1 kid) to have the scanning crew sets & catapult shipped up here, even if I can get them at close to retail price. If any of you dicks happen to come across them, please wipe them off, purchase them & I'll pay you back that much immediately - we can then work out shipping. Any helpin' would be hot as they say.

I'll see what I can do. I've seen them, but haven't been to Kmart in a few weeks.

[Senor JabbaJohnL]

I've picked up all three sets for m'self and seen them a few times. I'll look in the next few days and let you know.

Though I can't guarantee I'll wipe them off.

[jjreason]

Just air dry them then before you mail them so the boxes don't get all wrinkly.

[Senor JabbaJohnL]

I got the catapult for ya, but the scanning crew sets looked like they'd been tampered with. I'll check another store tomorrow.

[jjreason]

Thanks man! As per usual, send me the total asap so you're not out money for any length of time.

[Senor JabbaJohnL]

And I got the scanning crew sets today. I'll PM cost and such soon.

[anarky]

Damn, you on the ball! You made at least two trips before I could make one!

bigbadtoystore.com has the new Han Solo 6" figure on pre-order and clearance at the same time. Only $10. What the hell is going on there?

[anarky]

He looks like anorexic shit and Hasbro is already carrying loser figs from case to case.

[jjreason]

They double packed the Han figure instead of the Stormtrooper or Boba Fett. The bitching, even on the Canadian boards, about the case assortment is fucking insane.

And thanks MrJJ. Since I can't love you long time due to geographical challenges, I hereby nominate YOU to fill in for me.

[Senor JabbaJohnL]

The Han is actually one of the coolest figures in the 6" line so far. They all look significantly better out of the box and posed; Han doesn't look too skinny that way. But Boba should've been carried forward - whoever's in charge of picking case assortments must be literally retarded. Wave 1 and 2 were completely new, but now it's the same shit that's been fucking up the 3 3/4" line since at least last year. I mean, it's never gonna be perfect, and yes they have to work months in advance, but any collector could pick the cases way better than they've been able to lately.

And thankfully I still have a few Kmarts near my work, apartment, and family's house, so it's not too difficult to get to one. I'll take any and all lovin' anyway.

[Diabolical]

Someone get me a fucking time machine.

[Ran]

No kidding. 9x12 pegs of figures, probably 8 deep. There has to be 900 figures there. Looks like Star Wars and ESB. I don't remember the smaller ships on the cards on the left.

[jjreason]

I do. They were die cast & heavy & hurt like fuck when one got thrown at your back.
