star wars "saga"

[anarky]

Took me two fucking years to play the game, but now I want a fucking Rahm Kota figure. God damn it.

I've got Juno (who I bought for custom fodder and probably will still use for that purpose), the EVO and Jumptroopers, and Shaak Ti (who I've already committed for trade). No interest in anyone in the multipacks except Proxy, who I'm not about to pay $30 for. The Apprentice Evolutions sets rot at TRU; I might get one in the next buy-one-get-one-half-off sale they run pretty often on those sets in the vain hope of clearing them out. The Shadow Guard I'd get if he came back out, but I'm not particularly excited by him. So Rahm and Galek are the only ones I really want; like I said, I could army build Galen if I wanted (I'd have to buy three costumes to get one, but, eh, oh well). I hope Rahm gets a Legends re-release to coincide with the new game. He may look like a faggy samurai wannabe, but he's pretty sweet.

When you say "two years" does that mean you waited two years to start, or like it actually took you two years to play? God, I hope its the first one. Because I played through three times in one weekend, once to fight the Emperor, the second time to fight Vader (which, honestly I didn't even see that the first time thru. Jumping over the railing to go down and fight Vader below) and then a third time to go thru and collect a bunch of the orbs and stuff I'd missed the first two times. Then I started on the super difficult setting but only got to the crazy Jedi on the junk planet before giving up.

Two years to start. I picked it up a while back when it dropped in price, but I like to be able to actually focus on one game at a time.

I just like the way he keeps insulting you while you fight. That's pretty kewl.

Even if you had played the game when it first came out, remember, the TFU figures came out seven months before the game, due to the constant delays of the game. So there are very likely others in the same boat as you, even if they played it a long time ago. Given the shift away from EU, I'd be surprised if they did too many more TFU figures, but the older ones are still in-demand, so it's not impossible.

I still havent played the freakin game and I have had it for almost a year now. I picked it up on clearance for 12 bucks at Target way back when.

Rahm Kota was a bad ass figure also.

[anarky]

A trash-talking redneck Jedi who dresses as a samurai. What's not to love?

[kidhuman]

I went to the WM here today and they packed out a shit on of the Evolution packs, but they were all on clearance. I picked up the Clone Commandos one for 9 bucks. I also bought the Captain Rex snow figure for $4.50. Seems they are clearancing out all the shit.

the one figure I have never found was Ziros Assassin droid. If anyone comes across it, LMK.

On anohter note, I will be moving in about 3 weeks. Nark and Slick, please PM me your addresses so I can send your packages out. Thanks.

I saw SW is marked down to $4.50 at Walmart. Too bad there isn't anything I need. Might try going by Toys R Us to try to find that other Bespin Guard.

[Ran]

Went to TRU and bought the alien Bespin Guard and R2-D2 with the blue lightning (he came with the other leg of Jabba's Droid). They were on sale for $4.99. I considered buying the Death Star Luke, Pilot Chewbacca, and the young Obi-Wan in an attempt build the droid. Luckily I came to my senses. Would have been missing one of the arms anyway.

Stupid question...How do I get R2's chest to open? The periscope pops up when you turn his head, but I can't open his chest.

This one has the chest panel glued down, so you can't open it (at least not without ruining the glue).

Kidhuman, I'll keep an eye out for Ziro's Assassin Droid. For a while, they were pretty prevalent.

Yeah, stores are clearing out stuff for the reset in August. HasbroToyShop has most of their basic figures for $4.99, but if you use the code FREESHIP20 until May 23, you can get 20% off and free shipping, which means the figures will be about $4 each. I plan on getting more army builders while the gettin' is good. I actually just ordered their "army builder pack" of eight Kashyyyk Troopers, and the total was $32.04, which is pretty damn good. They have similar packs for other figures, including some microseries ones for Chux.

Bastards! The picture fooled me.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that picture. (I got the figure like six months ago.) For whatever reason, the picture shows the open panel and buzz saw from the VOTC figure, but put on there upside-down.

[Senor JabbaJohnL]

Double post, so on and so forth.

Kidhuman, you have a PM (and a Ziro's Assassin Droid figure).

[Ran]

I saw the picture of the Jabba box. Since it is a Walmart exclusive, I'm going to assume it will be overpriced. The WM closest to my house still has an entire end cap of AT-STs and just ran out of Dewbacks. Neither of these ever went on clearance here. I never felt the need to buy either of them. Jabba on the other hand, I'll end up getting.

[kidhuman]

Replied back JJL.

I got the ST-St on clearance for 20 down here. The Dewback is still 30 as is the Corran Horn and droid pack still 17.00 They never hit clearance here either
