I saw both today at TRU

My TRU just reset there action figure area

I passed though

[redsaleen]

can someone tell me the difference between the 3.5 figures with the coin, and the new 3.5 figures with the stands?

[skyblast]

Basically, the only figures that do not have a coins are the numbered figures in the 2008 line-up. These 08 figures have been given stands instead of coins.

[Wheeljack35]

All quiet on the western front here

I haven't seen anything new in a while

[Tigertrack]

I actually got the new FORCE UNLEASHED figs, from BBTS, and word was a wave of them did get put out locally here in Michigan.

There is no difference, for example, the Rebel Vanguard Trooper is the same whether he has the coin or the stand. I have three of that guy, one that came with the stand, and I see no differences. Of course one of the guys I ended up swapping his vest and helmet with one of my many TSC Endor Troopers...

I haven't found much new stuff at all. Only 2-1B, Shadow Guard, and the comic packs of Mouse & Basso, Luke & Deena, and Clone & Super Battle Droid.

[Ninja Sixshot]

i got commander gree and 7th legion trooper with base.

[Dr. Caelus]

Got a pair of Super-Articulated 501st Troopers the other day.

[Wheeljack35]

I found the 2 pack of Luke and the female dressed as Imperial Officers at TRU today.

[Tigertrack]

Looks like HASBRO heard some of the complaints about Sandtroopers out there.

There is one that has orange shoulder thingie that is now packed with a rifle instead of the pike, and his dirty pattern is different.

There is another one with white shoulder thing with the pike that is clean as whistle, no dirt at all.

I found all the new two packs as well.

A question for any of you Star Wars guys that have read the novels. I'm looking to pick up a SW novel but I am unsure which to get. I'm looking at either the "New Jedi Order" or "Legacy of the Force" series. Which one would you say is a good one to go with? Is there an order in which I would need to read them to fully understand the books? Help is appreciated

[TheMuffin]

Read the New Jedi Order first. Legacy of the Force comes after that series. You might want to read the Dark Nest Trilogy in between them as well so you know exactly what is going on.

New Jedi Order:
Vector Prime
Dark Tide I: Onslaught
Dark Tide II: Ruin
Agents of Chaos I: Hero's Trial
Agents of Chaos II: Jedi Eclipse
Balance Point
Edge of Victory I: Conquest
Edge of Victory II: Rebirth
Star by Star
Dark Journey
Enemy Lines I: Rebel Dream
Enemy Lines II: Rebel Stand
Traitor
Destiny's Way
Force Heretic I: Remnant
Force Heretic II: Refugee
Force Heretic III: Reunion
The Final Prophecy
The Unifying Force

Dark Nest Trilogy:
The Joiner King
The Unseen Queen
The Swarm War

Legacy of the Force:
Betrayal
Bloodlines
Tempest
Exile
Sacrifice
Inferno
Fury
Revelation (was released in February. Is backordered in most places)
Invincible (not yet released)

Thanks for the assist. I picked up Vector Prime this afternoon. It works out pretty good that R.A. Salvatore wrote it since I have been reading his "Legend of Drizzt" series and I am a big fan of his work, it should make the transition much easier. Michael A. Stackpole wrote the next two books. I have read some of his Shadowrun, "Wolf and Raven" being my favorite, so I look forward to reading some more by him.

Again my thanks.

Hey guys have any of you seen the AT-AT Star Wars/Transformer at retail? I've got the Turbo Tank and Snow Speeder but haven't seen the AT-AT. It is deluxe sized right?

[Wheeljack35]

I picked mine up about a month ago

Its the same size in robot mode as the rest

Thanks I was afraid that I might have missed it or he wasn't on the shelves yet. How is it good or like the rest?

[Wheeljack35]

I don't know if I will pick up the Luke/Snowspeeder yet

Yeah I saw that. I'll be all over those. Dude get the Snowspeeder. I don't know what happened but that and the Clone tank are the best molds of the line thus far. The tank is a few notches below the Snowspeeder but the Snowspeeder is 100% perfect. Somebody had to make to make a mistake somewhere.

[Tigertrack]

The AT AT is cool, it's just a bit flimsy looking in robot mode. Having the walker legs become the real bot mode legs kind of bugs me, but overall it is fairly acceptable.

The Snowspeeder to me is a bit like the X-wing-- to much back heavy kibble- like most SW/TF toys.

I do like the clone tank A LOT! I think it is nearly the best mold that is in the SW/TF line. Quite clean in both modes- very solid in both...

[Ninja Sixshot]

i found my first RM concept figure: han solo . i also got darth vader's tie fighter for the hell of it. anyone know which way i should put the ship's sticker?

[Tigertrack]

I've pretty much stayed away from all star wars formers. I think their all crap.

I just ordered the German con exclusive Shadow trooper two pack from Star wars shop.com.

I'm a sucker for my shadow army!
