Oo... you lucky bantha, you DarthZemog. No signs of even the 4th wave of TCW figures where I am. I really want Jar Jar Binks TCW. And still no Episode II wave of TLC yet. I really want the Episode II line.

I recently sold off just about all of my old SW figures at a garage sale, and weeded out my ships.

I of course kept my X-Wing and A-Wing, which made me realize for years I'd been wanting to collect each "letter fighter" from the OT. I found a B-Wing at Toys 'R Us this weekend, on clearance even! Got it for $25. It's not movie accurate, I'm not really sure what "Dagger Squadron" is. If my current X-Wing paint job goes well, I'll probably find some stills from RotJ and make my B-Wing look proper.

Very impressive toy, though.
Y-Wing's next, but I am thinking of getting one of the bigger X-Wings as well, and a TIE with the proper wing scale.

Wow, awesome Zemog! I want Whorm Loathsome. He is awesome in The Clone Wars film (even if he didn't do much).

Today I just picked up Star Wars Insider #111 with Cad Bane on the cover. He is such a kick*** Bounty Hunter.

Just picked up a Super Battle Droid from The Clone Wars (now I have wave 1 and 2 completed) and picked up a Jawa with WED Treadwell droid from The Legacy Collection. Still looking for the new red and white packaging.

Latest Acquisitions:

Clone Wars:
Commander Ponds (Toys R Us exclusive)

TRU had a bunch of him too, and at $9.95, I don't think hes going to be flying off of the shelves, but who knows.

Clone Commander Blaster (Build Your Own Blaster)

This thing is super cool, you can have a DC-17 pistol or turn it into a DC-15 blaster or finally into a DC-15a Blaster Rifle! Cool sounds galore too, while changing the blaster configuration, loading the ammo clip into and out of it, adjusting the scope placement, and of course firing each blaster configuration with and without the ammo clip in it! I also saw the Captain Rex voice changer helmet, but TRU had a bunch of them and only 2 of the blaster sets, so I went with the blaster set first!

Still can't seem to find Gree or Cad Bane though, but I'll keep looking! wink

Oh my God, DarthZemog. You are SOOO lucky! I want the Clone Commander blaster set! Looks so awesome! and the way you described it makes me want it more! Hurry up and arrive, new stuff!

And the Rex helmet looks awesome too. I already have 3 clone trooper helmets (2 normal, 1 Walmart 501st Legion exclusive helmet).

i just saw the new arc-170 fighter this morning in walmart and was disgusted by the price. it was either 54.99 or something like that.
anyone else thing this is too much?
i bought one a few years back from target not on sale for 29.99 which seemed reasonable.

no offense to collectors but there is way too much for "collectors" who are just grown up kids or ebay resellers and a regular kid who wants a ship isnt going to get their parents to fork over 55 bucks for a ship. its baloney.

and the lego stuff? more baloney

It is too much, and Hasbro's 'explanation' for why the price almost doubled on this piece is a joke. Their reasoning was that they needed an item at that price point to reserve shelf space for the new Y-Wing coming out, so they raised the price of the ARC 170. angry

Today I FINALLY picked up Episode II Obi-Wan and Episode II Anakin. Finally my Walmart got the Episode II wave in... And I just got a sick The Clone War shirt with every character shown in the series. It seems I'm getting more and more Star Wars shirts each month.

Latest Acquisitions:

Clone Wars:
Captain Rex Voice Changer Helmet

Its pretty sweet and I couldn't wait, so what the hey! What I really dig about it other then its Rex's helmet is that it has phrases from Rex and the clones from the episode "Rookies" in it! That's my favorite episode from the first season of Clone Wars so that was a real treat!

Hey ObiWanJedi93, congrats on finding some of the AOTC Legacy wave! You've taken your first steps into a larger world! - Seemed appropriate! wink

Lol, it does seem appropriate, DarthZemog. I'm finally seeing some of the new stuff! But still no new 2009 packaging.
