Sure did

Star Wars needs a boost nowadays while its on hiatus until Clone Wars

[Mandamus]

All the stuff I ordered from HTS using the Botcon code showed up Friday. The Star Wars portion:

Obi-Wan's red starfighter
Anakin's yellow starfighter
Obi-Wan "Hunt for Amidala" figure

I came close to buying a Luke FX lightsaber yesterday at TRU. Does anyone have some of these and can tell me what they're really like? Do you feel like it was worth the $120 or do you feel ripped?

501st was at my local comic book store for free Comic book Day.

They had a Darth Vader, Jango Fett, Sandtrooper, and an ARC Trooper present. And Jango's son (not in costume) running all over the place with a blaster rifle, sword fighting with it part of the time.

They also had a reproduction of the ARC Trooper Minigun from the Clone Wars cartoon, that actually spun. Spiffy.

[Dagon]

This will take a while because I haven't posted here in millions of years:

All 6 Target Order 66 sets
both Mandalorians and Clones sets
both Battlefront II sets
all the Force Unleashed figures
AT PT
Grevious' Starfighter
two Tri Droids

Over the course of a couple months, so don't stare at me like that, like I spent the food money on Star Wars toys again.

News about the Big Millennium Falcon toy, first announced by the Star Wars news website as Galactic Hunter and later offically confirmed by Hasbro in one of our Q&A sessions, has now been given a price tag. According to Wired Magazine, this beauty will cost you $150. That's not to bad considering this thing will be over 2 1/2 feet long and has it all:

1. Light-up headlights and loads of electronic vehicle and weapon sounds - engine boost, cruise mode, fly-by, firing cannons.

2. Opening, light-up cockpit can fit up to 4 figures. Includes Han Solo and Chewbacca and the entire ship can hold up to 18 figures.

3. Remove outer panels to access the ship's interior, then head to the medical bay and treat wounded Rebels.

4. Secret smuggling compartments to hide from stormtroopers.

5. Boarding ramp with auto-opening action, deployment sounds and landing lights

6. Pivoting gunner station to target Imperial fighters!

7. Light-Up hyperdrive lights and authentic movie phrases and sounds from favorite characters: Han, Luke, Obi-Wan, C-3PO, Chebacca, and R2-D2.

8. Rotating laser turret fires 2 missles and makes weapon sounds. Ship also features a 3-missle launcher and blasting sounds, and a cannon that launches a "laser" missle.

9. Missle-Firing mini-fighter fits inside an opening docking bay that makes electronic boarding and flight sounds

10. Pivoting training probe makes lightsaber and movement sounds - learn the power of the Force!

11. Illuminated dejarik table with holo monsters - let the Wookie win!

Man I can't get over just how slick the Falcon looks. I think I'll just have to start saving money now.

HARRISON FORD has vowed he will never reprise his role as HAN SOLO - the character which shot him to global superstardom in STAR WARS.

The 65-year-old actor is currently basking in the success of his latest movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - which has become a major box office hit 17 years after his first appearance as the intrepid archeologist. But although Ford is grateful for the career boost afforded to him by Star Wars when he was a struggling actor, he would never consider returning to the sc-fi franchise as the character is too dull.

He says, "Han Solo isn't interesting to me. It's a very narrow sort of utility in the story and it was great for my career and it was fun to play at the time but I wouldn't go back there again. Those pants!

"There are characters that it seems to me are worth re-exploring given that the story advances your understanding of the character, deepens your relationship to that character and takes you into an area that's new and unexpected.

"Some characters are decidedly one off kind of characters. Some characters don't outlive the movie."

[Mandamus]

No real surprise there. I wonder if he'd consider doing voice work if Lucas ever does an animated movie focusing on the original characters. He wouldn't have to wear the pants for that.

Apparently he has never read any of the Expanded Universe stuff. Han Solo is much more than what he played in the 3 movies, just as all the characters are.

I don't think Ford realizes he still exists in an Extended Universe

Hi everyone, is anyone familiar with the Kenner SW line from the early-mid 90s? I was really into it as a kid.

Anyway I have a bunch of figures, some misb. And the Millennium Falcon, and X-wing. and was wondering if any of them are worth anything.

[Wheeljack35]

If there still in the packaging and are in good condition they will be worth something

Check ebay, or toyfare or other toy price guides for prices.

I finally found a dirty Sandtrooper so I picked that up along with the TRU Obi-Wan starfighter with the hysperspace ring from Ep. 2

I saw the new battle packs and almost picked up the Luke/Tauntaun/Wampa set, but I really only want the Luke figure so I thought $20 was too much. Also, Luke's saber in the set has a Vader hilt. Nitpicky, I know, but another reason to not spend the money.

[Wheeljack35]

So the TRU exclusive is out and only $20

cool
