Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted January 27, 2010 Author Posted January 27, 2010 I've got the one that was "exclusive" to Target. Very nice piece, much better than previous ones. Coloring is spot on, the awkward extension off the back is gone (like the recent TIE Interceptor). The pilot has been improved as well. Overall I was very impressed. TIE Pilots are the best I ended up picking that one up too, it is an AWESOME piece, best TIE Fighter I own(I have Vader's, and a TRU exclusive Interceptor from a few years back with red stripe). The new cockpit is great, hell nearly the entire thing is made up of new parts. I'm glad it turned out that way, instead of just being an old cockpit with the big wings.

Yeah I forgot about the cockpit, it's VERY nice. I also have the Interceptor with the red stripe (Baron Fel's Interceptor).
Totoro242 Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) My question is with the current CW figure waves.........is Hasbro still doing the whole "short-packed" thing? Just want to know if I should jump on a figure when I see one, or wait until I can actually afford it, so he can have the different figs. Thanks! I think it depends on your market. Some waves are harder to find in my area and figures like Captain Argyus, Cad Baine, and Luminara were very rare. Edited January 27, 2010 by Totoro242
GRAND CANNON Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 For those in Massachusetts, you'll have to check out Target. Went to pick up the CW Battle Pack - Ambush at Abregado for the 30% dicsounted price of $17+ from last week, only to find it now at 75% and only $6.24 !! So I grabbed that and the Assault on Ryloth. Also saw the Target TIE Fighter with pilot for only $9.98! Was in the Boston (Dorchester) store, so keep a look-out!
Scream Man Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 new pics of TESB wave out. Leia in Hoth gear FTW!

Found the new Millenium Falcon marked down from $159.99 to $99.99 earlier today. Headin' back tomorrow to pick one up. I'll be swinging by Target it looks like also
macrossnake Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) Its official new AT-AT. Its head is too big. Overall looks chunky. The recent released Walmart AT ST looks way better... Edited February 6, 2010 by macrossnake
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 6, 2010 Author Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) Star Wars 2010 AT AT Revealed *BTW no you no longer have to sign in/log in at Toyark to view images* Edited February 6, 2010 by Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0
Scream Man Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 i thnik it looks awesome. Ill definitely get one!
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 7, 2010 Author Posted February 7, 2010 i thnik it looks awesome. Ill definitely get one! Also Hasbro CONFIRMED that it's only going to be $100 like initially rumored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly I think I will end up liking this thing more than my AT TE, BMF, and Turbo Tank. FINALLY will be able to recreate scenes from ESB! (I don't have an AT AT, skipped the old ones!)
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 7, 2010 Author Posted February 7, 2010 ^^Did you find Snowspeeder Luke yet, Shin? Have not yet, all good though, I prefer the thrill of the hunt and have been buying other figures lately too.
Scream Man Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 I dunno if it'll be better than the BMF, but it will probably kick the TT and ATTE for sheer awesomeness.
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) I'd like to get three of them to make my dream Hoth diorama, tho' it's not as cool as I expected. Looks too much like the old one in detail and proportions tho' I dig the interior. I also expected it to have moving hips, but I guess that would put it above the $100 mark. As for the Luke Snowspeeder, I guess I'll buy just one since I'm sure they'll make Porkins' and the other versions eventually. Edit: What's that thing behind the head? Is it a non cannon gunner's station? BTW, is the Snowspeeder out yet? Is it some store's exclusive? The reason I ask is because my GF is going to the States in a few days and I want her to get one for me. Edited February 8, 2010 by Lonely Soldier Boy
valentin Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 It was a close shave. The monstrous AT-AT was finally brought down and not a moment too soon. The defense line was covered in snow and ice settling down after the crash. Through the fog, the soldiers tried to locate targets of opportunity. Close Quarters Combat takes on a new meaning... Thumbnails are click-able and will bring you to a hi-res image at 800x600 pixels In celebration of TESB's 30th anniversary.
Scream Man Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Oh that's cool man! sweet setup, I really like it and the Snowspeeder isnt for ages I dont think.
HoveringCheesecake Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Just picked up a few stragglers from Brian's Toys and BBTS. I went nuts on these things back in 2006 and 2007, but then I came to my senses and realized what a waste of money it was to army build. Now I'm just buying the nice VOTC/VTSC or similar quality figures in the general line.

The latest waves of starfighter vehicles is the one with the Corporate Droid Tank.
Black Valkyrie Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Cool display valentin, best movie of all time.

Scream Man Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 in a perfect world, Id buy 36 X-Wings: 12 Rogues in red Stripes 12 Rogues in custom colours from Bacta War 12 Grey Wraith Squadron fighters.
valentin Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Thanks, guys... Scout: An ewok! And it's armed with a spear. Commander: Good! It's target practice time then. Then the jungle came alive... More click-able thumbnails to a hi-res of 800x600pixels Removed the speederbike for a better view... Thanks for looking. 2nd phase of spring cleaning done.
Mog Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Looks like Toyark got pics of the Star Wars figures on display at Toy Fair. First the bad news: Damn you, Hasbro!! Just release a Bespin Han already. No one was clamoring for a Han wearing the Bespin outfit but sporting a huge-ass, thick parka! The new Luke definitely looks like Hasbro's way of saying, "Yeah. We screwed up with the first vintage Bespin Luke and his headsculpt. Hopefully, this one is more to your liking." Big improvement over the last Bespin Luke they released. And as Scream Man said earlier, that Hoth Leia is flat out awesome! Accurate facesculpt. Good articulation (though I'm a little worried if there's no ankle aritculation there ). And if that vest can come off easily, that's just gonna be bonus points in its favor.

IIRC this one lacks knees.
Vepariga Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 That's Darth Sidious(Palpatine) from the Clone Wars line. IIRC this one lacks knees. Is it? I was thinking it might have been but I dont recall him wearing gear suited for combat like that,unless the robe is removable.
Scream Man Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 so many good figures there! A great lineup for SW this year

I felt so excited for a minute there, but 3PO looks a tad too "wide" and R2 looks too small. Besides 3PO's paintjob is too dull. The AT-AT is growing on me tho'.
Black Valkyrie Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Upcoming Empire merchandise. Memories.

Is this the continuation of the VOTC line that came out a couple years ago? If it is then I see some that have already been released, but are they different from the first release?
