[Emperor Primacron the 1st]

Looking for non-regular SW robots.

Meaning: Anything that is NOT R2-D2 and C-3PO. Retools and recolors are fine though.

PM me with your wares, please.

[Wheeljack35]

Did you pm Spike?

As I told you on Carbombya he has some extra Astromechs that aren't R2-D2

Looking for him right now.


Oh, today I got R4-M9, a mouse droid and a 'gonk' droid ( that one that looks like a walking refridgerator ), thanks to highlander3000.

[Wheeljack35]

I'm meeting up with him today so I will remind him

ANYWAYS...

My store got in wave two of the TAC figures and I grabbed...

1 Death Star Trooper

1 Rebel Guard

Biggs Darklighter dressed in the xwing flight suit

I passed on the McQuarrie concept Boba Fett for now but as we restock possibly tonight then I will grab him

[Cyber Bishop]

Went to Target and nabbed these two..

[Wheeljack35]

Bishop will you open the McQuarrie figures?

I won't but I will open the Death Star trooper and the Rebel Guard

[Cyber Bishop]

Yup I opened them (the ST is ok.. nothing to scream about).. I do have to say that this Boba is the nicest as far as articulation and sculpt.
If they made a regular Boba minus the silly poses and articulated like this, it would be one of the best figures ever.

DST is fantastic, this fig was one of my favorites when I first got my SW figs back in 78 and this incarnation does him justice.
I plan on picking up about 7 more DST's eventually.

[Wheeljack35]

I was going to get one more but I'm thinking twise now

I will eventully get aLuke and Han from this wave and put Han in the gunners chair on my Millenium Falcon

They had the whole wave but I only picked up these two.
IMHO Han and luke look like ass, Biggs looks surprisingly almost spot on and the Rebel honor guard is... Green.

I may eventually pick up the Rebel honor guard though.

[Wheeljack35]

I compared Biggs to the VOTC Luke and they have the same body

[Dr. Caelus]

If/when I get that Concept Fett I'm thinking he's going to get the role of a Clone Commander.

Just haven't decided if he should be in command of my plain white armor grunts (Bacarra's current position), or supreme commander of all my clones.

Somehow that does not surprise me. That may as well be the new "standard X-Wing pilot" body they use from now on in future releases.

Are you going to use his concept helmet?

If so put him in charge of the Whites

Funny I used to have Baccura in charge of the white grunts also until I got the Galactic Marines

[Dr. Caelus]

Unless I can get two, he'll probably be wearing the traditional Mandalorian Shocktrooper helmet.

I think I may just stick with one Marine. I've got him toting a rocket launcher for now until I can find something that approximates a flame thrower.

I've given up adhering to the canonically established roles/ranks of the troops. But then, I have them mixed in with OT, EU, and TF figures too, so canonicity is a joke with my collection. The 501st and the Hunt for Grievous LAAT/i are Jedi Leia's personal bodyguard.

I may have jumped the gun

I was holding them up together in there packages when I glanced at them

But on further inspection I notice Biggs is taller and the flight suits are a bit different

[Rogue.]

I should have asked here instead of trying to search Rebelscum's banal archives, which yielded no results. A few weeks ago I mailed away a set of POPs for the Lucas as Stormtrooper, thinking that the deadline was March 31st... yesterday I got a letter saying that the offer expired on February 28th, along with the money order and POP form. I remembered that the deadline was extended, but thought it was March 31st for some reason.

I'll take a pic of the letter so you can see what they say... it's interesting.

[Wheeljack35]

I think that March 31st was the origional deadline from last year during the origional inception

[Counterpunch]

Well gang, It's time for me to thin out the clone army.

Here is my list for what I have to sell.

4 Quick Draw Clones
4 SA Clones
2 Vader's Legion (I can make them Quick Draw versions if you prefer, but they'll cost a bit more.)
2 Red Commanders
2 Green Commanders
2 Black Clone Pilots
4 Royal Guard
4 Imperial Guard
3 Arc Troopers (Episode 2 I believe)
3 Jet Pack Troopers
2 AT-RT Drivers
4 Shock Troopers
15 Battle Droids
6 Super Battle Droids

Attack on Courescant Battle Pack (with the Baccara Repaint and 4 grey clone)

Clone Evolution Set (both Yellow and Grey)(grey on hold)

TRU Exclusive Anakin Starfighter(on hold)
TRU Exclusive Obi Wan Starfighter

E3 Republic Gunship

I just wanted to offer them here first. PM me with a list of what you want, if you want any. I have a good idea for what I can get on Ebay for most of this, so I'll try and make any price for the stuff as reasonable as possible.

[Rogue.]

Sent you a PM, CP.

[Senor Hugo]

Lets see, picked up yesterday from Wal-mart the "Treachery on Saleucami" battlepack with Commander Neyo and a trooper on the BARC Speeders.

Unfortunately couldn't find the Clone Marine and the Air Trooper from the Anniversary figures.

[Wheeljack35]

I had to get one from a freind

My local Walmart has 3 cases there sitting on

Along with the new Alternators also

[Emperor Primacron the 1st]

Also got the TIE Advanced x1, the big one. It's one of the few SW ships I like.

And that Lucas as a Storm Trooper figure is funny....last time he had a waistline like that was 1972 ~rimshot~

[Rogue.]

Haha It is his old likeness on that figure...

I found the Order 66 sets at Target this morning. Not anywhere by the toys, but right up at the register that I was about to check out at. I probably would have missed them if I wasn't buying a box of cereal that I ended up not getting because the Target coupon I had was for Archer Farms cereal, not Target-brand. I haven't opened the figures yet, but I'll probably end up trying to sell the empty boxes on ebay along with all that other stuff I mentioned once.

I haven't seen the Saleucami battle packs anywhere. Of course I've been sick the past few days and haven't gone near my workplace because of that, so who knows. I did see the TF Classics Devastator set in another Walmart, though.

[Wheeljack35]

Thats my fault I should of posted that ther Order 66 sets were in front

Which sets did you pick up?

[Rogue.]

I got all six. Now that I've opened one of them, I don't see the point in keeping the packaging to try selling, or even giving, them away. And as much as I dislike getting multiples of figures, at least the Mace Windu has a new robe (minus a hood), which hides his weird shoulder joints. That's one thing I loved about the 2005 Mace figure; he's capable of pulling off some lightsaber-wielding maneuvers that even the SA Mace can't do. I wonder if the Order 66 Vader has the old Anakin face underneath his glued-on helmet?

I forgot to mention that I saw a few TAC Wave 2 figures at the same Target. I passed for now, but was tempted to get the Rebel and Imperial soldiers. Also finally saw the Capture of Tantive IV battle pack... it looks good enough to me to get. I would like to stock up on the Rebel troops and Stormtroopers, even if those Rebels are a bit iffy. They do feature removable helmets.
