Well... I've bought lots of stuff for customizing over the years, but I've done very little with them. I've been sick the past several days, and yesterday I decided to try out some boil-n-pop on some figures. The [Evolutions] Darth Vader figure from the Order 66 pack does indeed have the old Anakin head underneath, all unpainted. Unfortunately I'm new to the whole customizing schtick, and I left some indents on his helmet from the tongs I used to hold his head in the boiling water. Ah well... it's not too noticable. I have an interesting custom planned for him anyway that I should be able to work the accidental markings into...

Also, I gave the Order 66 Anakin the dark brown robe that came with the Order 66 Obi-Wan. He looks much better with that robe than the plastic one he comes with.

Which sets did you pick up?


It's not your fault, you are not "Mr. Target".
They (the two Targets local to me) first put them in the front and then on Monday moved them up to the toy section (where I found mine after going to the front looking for them and not finding them) and put the new TF target exclusive pack in it's place by the registers.
The associate I know told me that it was supposed to be some sort of weekend promotion thing (or something like that).

I wonder if the Targets got a lot of these sets? I've thought about getting a duplicate or two, but I can't right now. $10 isn't bad at all for two figures, even if one is already in my collection a few times over (like the Mace).

I know that both Targets near me got in 3 cases.
One target only put out 2 cases and a local ebay scalper bought the third one to sell (I was told he wanted all three but was not allowed to because the manager wanted others to be able to get them).

I only repaint Transformers I would think that these figures would be tougher to paint

I still haven't seen the Saleucami battle pack anywhere around here. I think I'm going to get two of them when I see them... if I have the money. I just hope I don't see the last two Alternators at the same time, or my poor wallet's going to take a whompin'.

Hell I'm still looking for the new Alternators

Dark Magnus who posted the DPCI's for the Transformers coming into Target also gave me a bit of info about new Star Wars items coming in to Target possibly as exclusives.

Now mind you at this point in time these are just rumors he has the DPCI's but his source didn't want them posted on the boards yet

These will possibly be on Display at C4.He had 4 DPCI's but as of right now I only know of what three are going to be

1 ARC-170..Possibly painted like the Star Wars Transformer/Tiger stripe version...Yes the action figure size ship

2 ARC-170 Battle Pack...no info on that right now

3 The TIE Bomber ....possibly the action figure ship

As I said these are rumors we will have to wait possibly until C4 to see them (I hope)

Or maybe months from now at SDCC

I'd bet Clone Pilot x 3, Astromech x1, and the firefighter/maintenance dude x1

3 The TIE Bomber ....possibly the action figure ship


Man I wish I had room for that.

I have the Shark-toothed Gunship hanging from the ceiling of my bedroom at my parents, laden with 501st Troops. I had the Droid Tri-fighter and a Jedi Starfighter hanging as well, but the former was recently displaced by a TRU Cybertron Starscream and the latter finally had to come down b/c the hook wouldn't stay in the ceiling anymore.

And what's "Commander Oddball" from? The name sounds familiar but...

:shock: WOW You never heard of Oddball?

He was the Clone Pilot commander

Obi Wan is talking to him at the very beginning of the movie as they were trying to get to Greviuoses ship

Does he actually say his name? If so, I COMPLETELY missed it.

No, he called him Red Four. Hey, Wheeljack35, where did you learn his name, cause I never heard it?

I heard Obi Wan call him Oddball

A couple of years ago on TNI(Toys News International) in the Star Wars forum a member put up his own clone commander guide and Oddball was in it along with:

Thire
Appo
Deviss
Gree
Bly
Bacurra and so on
