probably the '90s.....

I don't think they will try many vehicles for the 6" line. The scout bike is big enough as is. I could maybe seem them doing a land speeder at some point.

thats perfect as long as they produce an old ben figure. and a tusken raider.

Nymesys Prime · 06-29-2014, 10:57 AM

Practicality dictates that it is not profitable to do the larger vehicles. It wont surprise me if the Speeder bike shelfwarms...not saying it will but don't be surprised if it does...the cost alone on that one is 2 figures...as for the others...TRU still has that 100 figure dropship thing instock..at over 100 bucks...and the MF was over 200...the reality of the spaceships makes it illogical and non profitable to produce. Poor craftsmanship higher prices and all that factored in...I think they will keep it simple for now and hit the hot tagert figures(at least 1) per release mixed with some ok figures and a scrub or two for the completionists.
Wave 1 Stormtrooper Wave 2 BobaFett Wave 3 Sandtrooper all great figures...Wave1 Luke -Shelfwarmer Wave2 Leia-Scrub Wave3-Greedo-Shelfwarmer..you get the point

looks like somebody broke the thread.

Optimus Neeson · 07-04-2014, 07:52 AM

I don't know what's going on, but page 49 of this thread doesn't want to load. I keep getting this message.

The page is loading now, but all the text is huge. Is that a problem on my end?

bmorr · 07-04-2014, 11:05 AM

yeah im seeing the same thing too.

Optimus Neeson · 07-04-2014, 01:26 PM

This page keeps coming and going. It's loading right now, but the text is still enormous.

Falconhood · 07-04-2014, 02:54 PM

I don't know if anyone else can actually read the LAST page of this thread, but this is what I get everytime I try...if this actually goes through.

What about Wampa's and Taun Taun's? I think if this line is still THIS strong in 2 or 3 years, Hasbro will build all of it. If they made the 'Falcon it would be in a limited amount sure, but there might be 10,000 people who will pay $675 for it. The speeder bike will go like crazy, I may get 2 or 3. The Rancor monster? Who knows what the demand will be, this line is very young and Star Wars collectors are amongst the most avid of us.

Serious Lee · 07-04-2014, 09:55 PM

Double post, bygones?

Joe Moore · 07-05-2014, 09:27 AM

Found the issue. Spambot posted a link that couldn't be parsed. Deleted/banned and it's back to normal now.

Falconhood · 07-05-2014, 09:30 AM

yeah! it's working again!
okay, I found a half dozen figures at a Tuesday Morning, mostly Vintage Collection, in case anyone is looking..here is what I got:
Star Wars:Movie Heroes:Super Battle Droid:MH02

And also some VINTAGE COLLECTION Star Wars figures that are just as cheap as the Saga Legends

Not that I know of sir, I just didn't want to waste the space lol.

I can't wait for the bike and some Ewoks or Endor gear Luke and Leia

I am comparing the Obi-Wan that came with GENERAL GRIEVOUS to the single pack...are THEY different?

One came with Grievious?

as you can see in my picture.

Nymesys Prime · 07-05-2014, 05:49 PM

overall no difference...similar to the MI figures where you repack an old figure with another... you end up with 20 OBi's just for a grievous.

I meant that one coming with Grievous is the difference between the two.

He was being facetious. There is no difference between that single-packed Saga Legends Obi-Wan and the one that came in the 2-pack with Grievous. It's the same toy.

Falconhood · 07-07-2014, 12:46 PM

Today i FINALLY watched Episode 2 Attack of the Clones (movie) willingly, and open minded...it was good. Better than the first JarJar binks movie..as I remember it(and HATING IT).
So where do I go from here? Do I watch the Clone Wars Animated series, or the 3rd Movie?

also, today I added some more troops:
Got a 2nd Super Battle Droid

Today I got my second Star Wars saga Legends super Battle droid #starwars by SacredKnightOfTomorrow, on Flickr
Got a 3rd Stormtrooper

Today I got my third Star Wars saga Legends storm trooper #starwars by SacredKnightOfTomorrow, on Flickr

trebleshot · 07-07-2014, 01:59 PM

Forgot to add this to my previous post, so I'll just put it here:

Got AOE voyager Hound over the weekend and with the toy, his movie portrayal and his VA, he's my favorite Bayverse TF character.

Also finally found the Homer for my HW collection and I was lucky enough to pick up a second one for a co-worker.

Technically, if you only want to follow movie continuity, you can watch the Cartoon Network Clone Wars animated shorts, then Episode III. The shorts acts as a bridge between the two movies, gives you a basic introduction to General Grievous and explains why he is the way he is at the start of Episode III.

I have not watched the second Clone Wars animated series, so I can't really comment on it.
