So I was watching Star Wars IV today for what has to have been at least the 40th time in my life and I noticed something funny that I never noticed before. When they are trapped in the trash compactor and the Stormtroopers enter the control room the Trooper on the right smacks his head into the door. lol In all the times I've watched it that was the first time O ever noticed it. lol I remember my friend Ollie telling me about this back in 1998......he had just bought the SE OT on VHS and was rewatching them....then I seen it for myself.I never told Fiona about it.....and on her 6th viewing(I think)she copped it too. its a LOL moment and defo one of Internet legend for sure |

This is the view in the action figure aisle at our WalMart. Kinda creepy to come around the corner to be greeted by an army of Vaders.  |

We were sold out of a lot of toys after Christmas. Management told us to put out what we have, and we just happened to have an army of Vaders lol. |

Back in Nov or early Dec I preordered the case from spamS. I figured for $10 more I get another Han. I'm hoping the ship soon.

So theres some new pictures of Wave 3 packaged, and I must say that Luke looks great. His eyes are totally fixed. the Stormtrooper looks good too. Its funny, because I really like Obi-Wan Kenobi. From the beginning when he was Ben, to the prequels when he was a young Jedi Knight. I really like his character and am a big Obi-Wan fan. As for Greedo, I couldn't care less about him. But if you put the two figures infront of me, of Wave 2 Greedo and Wave 3 Kenobi, I would buy the Greedo. I just don't like the Obi-Wan, despite really wanting to... In Package Pics |

In Package PicsGlad Luke looks so much nicer. That Obi-Wan would have benefitted from a cloak, I can't imagine why Hasbro didn't try to give him one. Hopefully future Jedi figures have them. An ANH Ben Kenobi would NEED one, it'd be more essential than even his Lightsaber. |

I really like the figure myself, but there also will be a Jedi Luke in the upcoming waves so there will also be another head to swap if needed. I sure am excited about Luke and that Stormtrooper though! I plan to have my Sandtrooper lead a squadron of 2 stormtroopers. Theres power 3s! |

Any word on when Darth Vader is supposed to come out and does anyone know if they will be making Black Series figures for characters outside of the movies? Like Xizor, Darth Plagueis and others? I'm sure these have already been answered a million times but I can't see myself going through every page to find out.

I'm sure these have already been answered a million times but I can't see myself going through every page to find out. Well, the rumours are that Wave 4 is predominantly PT (Anakin, clone trooper, etc.) and Wave 5 is predominantly OT, and my guess is that we will see Vader and Jedi Luke, or C3PO in that line. Its certainly not official, but from all the reading of 3-4 star wars forums I do, that seems to be the line that Vader will be in. But it is just a guess based on other guessed  This series is not going to be as deep as the 3.75, well I shouldn't even bother you by saying that as I'm sure its obvious, but basically the line will focus on OT and a few PT. Since the lines are so scrawny (3 new figures a wave? thats weak. We will see if that continues though, it may be only for a few lines) they will only be able to fit in the OT and PT. However, who knows, maybe they will fit in a few like Plagueis in the future? I would love to see a figure of him. I love this line. Its my favourite figure line and I just get so creative/imaginative when I see the figures because I remember all the star wars scenarios from the movies. But the one thing I can't stand about this line is that Waves take like 3 months to come out. They need to speed up their production so we can get more figures!! We only have 8 out atm.. and it came out in August |

I don't mind that waves take a while to come out. Means they're taking their time and taking care of this line. Also, saves me some money since I don't have a new SW wave every month and a half, haha.
Any word on a release date for Wave 3?

Hey I have a massive collection from 1996 Kenner figures - dolls - justly toys bendems - loads of figurines - micro machines plus loads of random stuff all boxed and great condition. Just wondered if they are worth anything now?

Nice Luke figure. It sure is fun animating lightsabers and lasers. They take a while to rotoscope, but are well worth it once audio is added. |
