And my Skirmish in the Senate also arrived today - ROTS Yoda & ROTS Emperor, with 2 x ROTS 41 SA Clone redecorated as Shocktroopers and a Senate Pod. Can't go wrong really. And even better for having been ordered months ago !
I finally found 3 VOTC Biker Scouts at TRU today. Funny thing is that they were hidden on the top shelf of the McFarlane Sports figures. It was just them 3. I noticed that the Star Wars section had all the other figures, at least 3 of each there but no Biker Scouts. Guess I found out where they were hidden. So I bought them all just to teach whoever was hiding them (an employee from the store most likely) a lesson. LOL I'll probably keep 2 for my collect and trade the other one for a HTF figure I may need.
Meh Scorch collection so far. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v148/loebig/Star Wars/SW Figures/Scorch7.jpg Got a second Biker Scout the other day and opened him. I think he's the best Scout ever made IMO Luke pilot is superb as well.Really worth getting. Well all of them really Balljoints everywhere, yay! Even Han, his little balljointed legs are wobbly smooth like Padmes His outfit is cool though when you loose the coat. The new Sandpeople rawk!
Rebelscum Have pics of the Naboo wave and Endor II wave loose. I am in Love with that Luke and Vader. Luke with Poncho and removable helmet - oh yeah. But the Vader..... Blows my existing POTJ Emperor's Wrath Vader away !
Woa that Vader is nice! And love Luke's helmet & blaster. Must get get another speeder bike for him There's a bunch of Trooper Han's, Shocktrooper & Chewie's out here from the big Unleashed figs. Almost bought Han & the trooper thinking their worth might skyrocket, but for $15 ea, gah! Found the Clone Wars Gunship at a comic shop (finally), but for $60!!!! Did'nt buy it. Hoping to find it at TRU or atleast buy it from a scalper for $50
Picked up the whole Tatooine wave the other day, minus the Vader/Han repacks, but with extra 'VOTC' Sandtrooper goodness. Already have 5 Biker Scouts and am fighting temptation to get more. Only thing between now and the Endor wave is the Hunt for Grievous BP, I guess.
Picked up Ep3H&V black Clone Pilot plus Garindan and Hem Dazon today. Pilot is decent, as expected. I'm glad I passed on all the previous Garindans -- I can't see us ever getting a better version than this new one. Now only does his belt have a blaster holster, but it's got a pouch for his comlink! Hem Dazon is also very nice -- CONSIDERABLE amount of detail. I really hope Hasbro stays with this universal-jointed shoulder kick they're on lately. It adds a huge range a posability. Now we just need some universal hips. The Naboo and Endor II waves are looking pretty good. I definitely see myself picking up Luke and Darth Skeletor, and probably the Naboo Flight Crew, Endor Trooper, and Rep. Been.
I'm back into buying clones again (crap, there goes even more money...) and I've got a basic idea for my army. 2-3 of each clone I like, some commanders, and some small vehicles. No gunship this time though, those things are way too big. Anyway, my questions- AT-RTs- are they as hard to come by as they seem? There's very few on ebay. I'd like to grab a pair and want to have a rough idea of how much trouble and money it'll take. Barc speeders- same as above. Though they seem a bit more common, was there a seperate pilot figure for them like with the AT-RT?
So glad I passed on that 60$ Clone Wars Gunship. Noticed about 5 of these today at TRU Time to put the pods on them Still waiting for the clone pack to go with it, but my gawd I have enough of those guys for it already!
In Zakna's pics, that AT-AT statue looks awesome . Good idea using Clone General Kenobi for the CW Gunship. Gonna do that.
Thanks to Cataclizm1 I finally have a Clone Commander Cody!!! He also found the new Hunt For Grievious TRU Exclusive set (but he still has it at the moment!)
Neither were that rare when they first came out. But both of them are vehicles packed with clones so have been army built.
(Clone Hunt for Generl Grievous) Nice ! Got mine preordered with an eBay seller in the UK Rebelscum have pics of the new Degobah X-Wing (you might need to click OK to open the picture, it was embedded in their forum) I've got the previous Degobah X-Wing and the Red leader X-Wing but this looks very nice and has a "ROTS Preview" R2 Unit mold. Also got my new Vintage figures. Luke X-Wing is brilliant. On close inspection the Vader above is the POTJ Emperor's Wrath Vader with a new arm goody, and some of the original samples had the skull seperate to illustrate what was happening in the head. The Luke also appears to be the SAGA Jedi Luke with new cloak, helmet etc. Don't care, still buying it.
Mace Windu Squadron Battle pack revealed! Check out the helmet on the clone in the middle: http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/Mace_Windus_Squadron_Revealed_98841.asp
Nice, gotta get me one of those when they come out. Sounds a lot better than the Grevious pack I picked up today; those blue troopers have hardly any joints!
Just found out Scorch and Cody in my region ( Sometimes, the walmart is quick, but they are some peoples that are quicker that me here... hehe). My Cody have a normal base and a blue mini, but the Scorch came with a chrome base and a silver mini. Any one knows why?? ( The packaging is also silver with ULTIMATE GALATIC HUNT)
