I've yet to watch a single episode of The Clone Wars, but oddly enough I bought 2 of these 8-packs. One for Embo, 'cause he looked cool and one for R4-P17. I split the remainder among my brother and I.

I saw a photo somewhere of one pack that had Seripas included and I had no luck at all in finding one despite the huge stacks they still had left. Guess they were picked clean.

Nice haul .. lots of good stuff

I spotted Magnus and Thundertron both at my local Target last Wednesday, but had to pass because I had already bought a few items from the Pre-black friday sale on Mattycollector. I think Magnus and T-Tron will show up more soon.

Love this comic set.

I bought an Imperial Navy Commander over the weekend at Target. I've seldom seen this figure in my area so I was glad to be able to finally add him to my collection.

Thanks

Didn't know these guys started trickling out. I only just found the Bruticus wave at my local Wal-Mart.

And got this in the mail today! Like the neat little additions on the box, from the text on the back and FUNimation sticker in front to the "

KAMEHAMEHA!!!!

" plastered to the top of the packaging, lol.

Just my opinion, but I think you'd be better off getting him from Amazon. He's in-stock and is $53.27 at the moment with Prime eligibility/Free shipping.

This is Bandai's/Bluefin's official storefront, so you'll be supporting their sales directly (they really need the data on where they're customers are at).

Oh and there's a wonderful 2/5 star review 'cause his eyes seem too dang big....

DarthGzus33 · 11-26-2012, 05:32 PM

Been looking for this one, the Sith Lord is alive and well...

Pisses me off that the batteries are "nonreplaceable"...So what, do I have to buy several of these in case the 1st one runs out of batteries?

I do understand about the eyes. Ifor myself been a fan of cell. But im really anticipating on Freeza. Hopefully they make the kids soon in a 2-pack (goten and trunks: gotenks).

Damn it! This is going to bug me all night till I can get home and check, I thought the white one would work well as Anti-Venom.

I honestly do remember several scenes where his pupils/irises were actually this large. But the quality/consistency of Toei Animation's work isn't really something to write home about in the first place.

I would've have preferred the more commonly depicted small eyes, but I don't mind really. The rest of the fig's a knockout though. A 2/5 is pretty harsh.

lanternjv37 · 11-26-2012, 08:23 PM

people are so whack bro. like what others dont understand is that we've come a looooong way starting from the SBC era to Irwin to Jakks to Figuarts.

If left long enough the batteries will die anyway or corrode. With some skill I'm sure they can be replaced without damaging the figure.

That's what I'm banking on. If they got those batteries in, they can be taken out...Gonna check it out tomorrow.

Iceman · 11-26-2012, 09:51 PM

Whenever I see a figure that has batteries in it, especially something mean to be collected like the SDCC Galactus, I fear for MOC collectors. I mean, that figure could be ruined over time even if you treat is well so it just doesn't make sense to keep it sealed.

I'm so broke but I saw this and I heard Rick James say, "Fuck yo' overdraft"

I just got him too. Pretty good looking figure. I've been slowly building The Empire. Happy to have him and his giant Spaceballs helmet.

I had to get him because I thought Mikey would fly off the shelves. Be warned, the joints are a little inconsistant. The biceps and thigh-swivels are kinda loose (not falling off) while the left shoulder was really stuck. Bit of hot water fixed that, so otherwise I'm really happy with him

Awesome grab. I'm missing Donatello and Michealangelo for my collection. Can't seem to find them anywhere. Maybe Santa will have better luck.
