I bought the first one because of the Han. Only reason I wanted the SDCC monster pack. Han kicks ass and his vest even comes off under that coat. Fingers crossed for a ewok parka Luke and Leia to go with my 8 Endor commandos.

See where the light changes to shadow on his tummy? That's his articulated torso. Think that's the only SW figure I own with that.

I believe the Mace Garrison sent me has that joint, too.

The figures are just too expensive for me. I know that George wants to fund Star Wars in 3d format, but I don't want him too and refuse to support that shit. When star wars figures are back down to about five or six bucks I'll start lurking retailers for original trilogy stuff, but as it stands now forget it.

I will say though, some of the original trilogy Target three packs and the empire strikes back four pack are tempting.

Yeah, no way I could actually collect SW figs, but I will pick one up on occassion if it is a main character that goes with the few vehicles I own. Think there is only about 3 or 4 possible figs left that I would buy, so I'm pretty lucky. Thankfully I only got into that side a year ago, so I'm not just buying better versions of figures I already own.

I keep an eye out for useful heads among SW figures, but I don't think I'll be collecting them again.

Picked up the B wing today. Not sure if it is worth the money, but the Skystriker is the same price and I'd much rather have this. A quick wash and it will be beautiful. I think I'll plan a day to do it and the BMF.

Good old Hasbro, never above utilizing a 30 year old mold to save some lettuce.

Yet, I still find myself buying the stuff. Knowing that it's the same old mold that I have 2-5 times already!

The paints they use contain drugs that leave you highly agreeable to buying more of their product.

I'd think I'd rather hunt for an old one on Ebay for that price.

I was disappointed this one didn't come with a new B-wing pilot. I'm sure I'll end up picking it up.

If you are half the SW collector you say you, then you will get it and enjoy it. :D If I am not mistaken the B-Wing pilot that is coming out on a Vintage Return of the Jedi card is the same one released in the Battle of Endor 3 pack from TRU earlier this year.

That's good news Garrison because I do not have a B wing pilot, don't feel like buying a pilot pack and the X wing guys look funny in there.

If you really want one go to the Star Wars Army Store (tunghori) on ebay he has/had them for $6.99 shipping is like $5, but if you find any others you want and buy 2 or more it works out cheaper than buying retail.

Any chance of getting a single card rebel and/or Imperial pilot?

I'd like to have those new clone trooper speeders that recently just got released

http://www.hasbro.com/shop/details....10D6-9A84D8D296DB&product_id=28978&src=endeca

I think they'd make excellent Rebel speeders, just have a couple guys on each, fruitlessly trying to attack an imperial walker like the charge of the light brigade, or a soviet Calvary charge against machine guns, artillery pieces and tanks. Unfortunately the speeders in question just cost too much for something that small.

The Tie Pilot is coming this fall on a vintage collection card, and which rebel?

You I know I have a couple of extra tie pilots...the new ones!!! :D

There are new TIE Pilots?


I'm not looking for a particular rebel pilot, just one with the transparent visor down on the helmet. Think I can convert one to a helo pilot helmet.

Yeah they have a "new" that has been around for at least 2 or 3 years. He came with the Big Tie fighter (target), Tie Interceptor (TRU) and some 3 packs. He is nice.

Have you seen the X-wing luke (dagobah)? He is pretty easy to find at Walmart, he might work for what you need.

I didn't get to look. There were three bitches in the action figure aisle with their carts circled like Conestoga wagons yapping about whatever bitches yap about. I only stuck around long enough to confirm no new Joes were out.

I have the new Dagobah Luke- he's freaking awesome. I really like him- the sculpt is much better than previous ones.
