Nobody cares what you think either, Negative Nancy. You should have been aborted.

You guys shouldn't be so upset about Hasbro. They are making lots of good toys for us. I really like the clonetroopers they make in the sets with the other clonetroopers. I must have a million clonetroopers on my shelf! They are so cool! My favorite are the ninja clonetroopers. They have black outfits! I don't now if thats what they call them, but that's what I call them becaue they are like ninjas for the Empire and they can fight Jedi and I give them lightsabers from other figures like my Episode II Anakin and Dooku becuase they had twwo lightsabers and now I have four ninja clonetroopers with lightsabers and Darth Vader to lead them. I wish they would make a newer Darth Vader figure that was cooler than the one they already made.

You'll be getting lots more ninja clonetroopers next year thanks to the obviously rigged poll.

So, any of you twerps planning on dropping $100+ for the AT-TE? Had they released this two years ago, I probably would've. Hell, there's no probably. But now, I'm fucking sick of vehicles. I haven't even bought the V-Wing, and I don't care.

stopped by a Target today and saw the animated Fett, 2 gold ceremonial lukes, and a gold Pilot Han. I was all..."oh, I haven't seen these before" and walked away.

Suck it, Hasbro. I'm just about cured of the SW addiction.

Maturity or stupidity?

Yesterday, I saw the Galactic Heroes Logray and some generic guy pack.

I picked it up, then thought of all this line has gone through lately. First, the requirement to buy previously issued figures to get new ones in the two-packs. Then the refusal to make so many major characters, favoring characters with a second of screen time. (This line is supposedly for kids, y'know.) Then the impossibility to find many sets. Then the neverending slew of Vaders with only the very slightest changes from previous molds. Now, the ridiculously overpriced store exclusive sets which are destined to be impossible to find and which have some of the major characters they previously refused to make.

Sounds a lot like the basic figures, huh?

I passed on it.

I was getting those for Benjamin for a few years. I got the original sets with the vehicles a LONG time ago, but as they released more and more two packs with one figure being a rerelease and the other not, I stopped. He's happy with the main characters he has anyway.

They better not do that with the Marvel Super-Hero Squads. There are enough characters that they could do two characters for along time without having to double dip.

They're not exactly double dipping. They're just releasing seventy unique Spider-Mans (Men?) per month.

The Logray was packed with Endor Han.

The newest waves of these are all new figs


AT-AT Driver/Veers
Hothtrooper/Snowtrooper
Barada/Weequay
Endor Trooper/Endor Leia
Imp officers
some other new sets also.

When the fuck did Ellen Degeneres become an Imperial and why does she get a fucking action figure already?

My local Target had an entire endcap of those rumored Hoth and Endor battlepacks. Why are the Snowtroopers dirty?

They also had TC-14, the blond Imperial officer, and RA-7, which I wanted, but passed. Observe the willpower.

Holy fuck, at least those Battlepacks are showing up. I haven't found them but it's looking more hopeful than the shuttle from last year. (And I guess I won't need to visit Target on Black Friday, either.)

As for the "dirt" on the snowtroopers, it seems like a lot of the Hoth stuff over the years has had yellow weathering on it, this set being no exception. I wonder if R. Kelly is designing them, or something?

I passed on RA-7 and Bultar/Koffi today. Maturity? I hope so.

I will not pass on next year's Bultar. I want a movie-accurate Bultar, and I especially want the Qui-Gon she comes with. In the absence of any Yuuzhan Vong or members of the NJO, NJO Luke is pointless. Especially wearing an outfit that I don't recall ever being described in the books, and not aged properly (judging from early pics).

I still haven't seen any wave after the Lando Smuggler wave. Actually, Lando & General McQ are the only figures I've seen from that wave. Yes, I have the General McQ. I would like to get Herme Odle and the new Ewoks. Santa is bringing me the Y-Wing...I think.

Target had the new comic packs as well. The only one I looked at was the Imperial Pilot/Rebel Pilot pack. The Imperial looked like a GI Joe figure with a TIE Pilot helmet.

While at Target today I overheard two women complaining about Star Wars toys while Christmas shopping for their kids.
They were looking at some other toys (one of those Japanese looking toy lines) and one woman said to the other "You know what toys need playsets like these ones? Star Wars. Billy would love that." The other replied "I know, Jacob would too. Its too bad they don't"

Yeah, and Hasbro says they won't sell...
