Thanks I need one or two, of those... Target, Walmart, or TRU, which was the store that carried it. Kind of like the idea of a Snowtrooper on speeder bike.

Got some new figs last night:

1 animated boba fett
2 Mc snowtroopers
2 padme (for customs)
1 destroyer droid with shield-yes I got another one
1 ra-7
1 r4-i9

And the other night I finally found a Cody transformer

Damn you, DS. Damn you to hell!

Oh, and TT, I picked them up from Walmart. They just got them in today.

I picked up the Ewok two pack

I got the Tie Bomber from Target

News Credits: 6 · by **Dr. Caelus** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 4:03 pm

Saw at Target last night:

TF Turbotank
TF Snowspeeder

TIE Bomber
ARC-170

ARC-170 Elite Squad
AT-RT Pack

Didn't buy any though. :-(

Question - Are the AT-RT Drivers the good ones (articulated) or the originals (solid legs)? I couldn't see their knees well enough in the package to tell.

They are the SA figures from the last few waves of the Ep3 figure line.

Sweetness. Grabbed it and the ARC-170 Clones tonight. The ARC-170 clones will be manning my Hunt for Grievous LAAT/i. :grin:

Yeah, that Battle Pack is pretty cool. I bought two sets, and might buy a third if I see them on clearance (that is unlikely though). I plan on using all of the figures inside the Gunship and ARC, instead of the Hunt for Grievous BP which I've passed on twice now. I'll probably get that BP, but I like the Phase II clone design more than the Phase I design.

A "Stealth" AT-AT seems like such a silly concept. I guess it takes baby steps towards its target?

I would prefer to call it a 'Shadow' AT AT, thus removing the stealth aspect. Give me a 3.75 version to buy, please! I NEED a shadow transport for my shadow squadron that I am building.

by **Rogue.** » Sat Dec 08, 2007 1:33 pm

I'm just thinking about ESB when R2 is rolling around the Rebel base, and because of the thundering footsteps of the AT-ATs, the chunks of snow fell onto his dome. The AT-ATs weren't in visual range at that point, I think. I haven't watched the movie in a while...

I like the Phase I armor well enough, but three of the figures reuse that Arc Trooper mold from the Clone Wars line, which is scrawny, poorly articulated, and barely stands. They could have used the clone commander mold, or the Alpha mold, but instead they recycled one of the crappiest designs in the past decade. :-(

A "Stealth" AT-AT seems like such a silly concept.

Yeah, but there'd still be some advantage to not showing up on radar or being visible at night I guess...

Plus, they'd be so much scarier.

I assume your refering to the dark blue titanium version? :-?

I picked up a titanium V-Wing a few days ago in the same assortment as the AT-AT.It was painted grey with empire markings

I bet the action figure version will be repainted this grey version with the empire logo as well

by **Bumblebee-otch** » Sat Dec 08, 2007 8:16 pm

picked up a 501st legion clone at wal-mart

-OMG ball-joints= great articulation! this is seriously the best mold of the clones i have! why don't they use it more often?

I bought the target arc-170, and it didnt come with stickers, was it supposed to? does anyone know? and second are there any add on for the second rear cannon you can get, there looks like there's a spot to slide somthing onto it

News Credits: 26 · by **Wheeljack35** » Sun Dec 09, 2007 2:51 pm

OK I got the origional ARC-170 from the ROTS line as for stickers I don't recall

Does it look like it needs stickers?

The back has only one rear cannon and nothing else

ANYWAYS:

I picked up Han in the torture rack

I looked at rebelscum and they show that one came with stickers, and it looks like it could use some stickers for the cock pit
