Thanks, LAJ grin . I knew it was some kind of big, multi-media extravaganza but I just never got around to finding out anything about it. I wasn't aware of 'Shadows of the Empire' when it came out so I didn't get swept up in it. I have read it subsequently though.

Between this and 'Clone Wars' it's a pretty ambitious year for 'Star Wars' and it's clear they're trying to diversify things a bit.

    I think Force Unleashed was originally supposed to be out either late last year or early this year. I know it's been delayed a few times and I think it is due to issues with the videogame.

    Yeah come to think of it, it does seem like I've been hearing about this for a while now.

    I watched a trailer for the game on youtube and read an article over @ Wookieepedia so at least I'm in the loop now tongue .

    I just got the new Sith 3-pack and Darth Nihilus has to be the greatest SW toy figure ever created. The detail is amazing. The coolest thing is that you can remove his hood to reveal his long braided black hair. I wonder who he was before falling to the Dark Side. I always thought he was Carrick from the KoTOR comics, but after seeing the black braided hair....I'm having my doubts.

    Darth Bane is ok....I think they made him too skinny.

    Can't wait to get Cade Skywalker and Darth Talon next!!!

    Picked up Tycho, Hawkbat Trooper and Voolvif Monn the other day. Had to leave a couple others behind due to budgetary restraints.......No sign of a McHan or the Ewok two pack. I can't believ we have the 2008 figures in Canada around the same time they are available in the USA. Wonders will never cease....... grin

    A couple of my friends have found the last wave of Saga Legends (Neyo, Shadow Troops, etc.) at Wal-marts. Maybe tonight for me?

    Went to Wal-Mart and they had all of the 'Force Unleashed' figures. I picked up the 'Imperial Jump trooper' and the 'Heir to the Empire' comic pack [for the Luke figure].

    Wow!! Definetly going to pick up Kota and Maris Brood as soon as
    they get in stock. Looking to pick up SA in three pack if they go
    on sale.

    TRU in the UK now has the Force Unleashed line in. happy

    Got one of the EVO Troopers and one of the Jump Troopers. Hummed and hahhed about battle-damaged Vader (I'll get him later), but the others just didn't look as good in the flesh. sad That may change when I finally get to play the game of course...
