It's OK, if I go to see the 3-D version, I just have to remove the glasses a few minutes at a time (I'd save it for the boring parts LOL). It's kinda disappointing because F13 Part 3-D had some hilarious 3-D effects. If you watch the 2-D version, sometimes you can see how the trick was done (the crossbow, the eyeball and other things flying at the screen). And I've always wanted to see "Jaws 3-D" but it's never been available as 3-D on DVD like the Friday the 13th movie.

The Royal Guard's, I'd be a little more interested in those. As you said, this character is pretty much boring even though he looks cool.

Actually Movie Trading Company had one ROTJ real vintage Royal Guard in a baggie - no weapons but still has the red cloak or whatever you want to call it. A little dirty but could be cleaned up. I took the ROTJ Bib Fortuna instead, still has his robe but no weapon. Same case with his robe too (needs a little cleaning). What's best to clean those with?

The AT-AP for my Kashyyk collection.

Speaking of the Tauntaun, this past weekend our Target had a couple of them and a couple speeders where they just put all the clearance stuff (SW and non-SW) together. So now I have both versions of that (single Tauntaun and the one with two figures).

Yes, I was looking for the carded SL IG-88 but at this point doesn't matter much since I have the 3-pack. I was originally collecting them all for the card game and those are nice to have but pretty much insignificant. The SL version of Greedo looked nice though.

That's the one I'd definitely buy first because I don't "get" the other version of the figure (I guess it's an EU thing?).

Not sure if it's true but I read somewhere that the actress who played Bultar Swan allegedly was going to be in Episode III and was even fitted for a costume. But nothing happened with that.

Not that it'll ever happen but I think it would be cool if someday we could get an Episode III version of Luminara. Another actress and in fact one of the Clones was named after her last name. The only shot of this actress I've seen was the scene where she was giving orders at Kashyyk.

Got it a couple weeks ago. Our Target still has several of those.

How much time you got? LOL

Leia (Hoth), 3PO (ESB), Sidious (ROTS), Commander Cody (ROTS), Magnaguard (ROTS), AT-RT Driver (mixed wave), Slave Leia (Revenge version), to name a few.

As for CW, Gree and a good half of the individual Clones, Quinlan Vos, Undead Geonosian and I haven't seen a single one from the last 2 or 3 waves (no Jar Jar, no Piell, no Chewie, nothing). And there's a few others too but not too crazy about the single-episode characters like Parasitti.

And still no SL version of IG-88 or Greedo. I've given up on THAT.

Not sure if I'm going to see the 3-D version because wearing the glasses too long gives me a headache. If I can't make it through "Friday the 13th Part 3-D" (the 2-D version is fine), I likely won't make it through that one either LOL

The weather here sucks for at least the first three months out of the year. And right when you think it's time for spring weather, we get an ice storm.

Re: Jedi Temple Archives News: Yay! Wave 5 Hits TARGET For The Umpteenth Time!

Absolutely. Out with the old, in with the new. ESPECIALLY if it's the same old figures they were sending us all through 2010-11. The collectors and fans who wanted anything from that ROTS wave most likely had already bought them months ago. If it was one of those "lost waves" (like AOTC here), that would be another story. We got about one of each from that wave and they were gone within a week - five of them, I bought LOL (Padme, Anakin, Super Battle Droid, Kit Fisto and Zam). That goes to show people are willing to buy the stuff - but not the same characters over and over. There's still plenty from the "Vintage Collection" and Clone Wars that we haven't gotten yet.

At this point, they can keep their CW stuff - especially if it's true they're going to phase out CW, anyway. It was fun while it lasted but again, Hasbro's distribution is working hard at killing off interest in their product.

I thought they looked pretty similar. I've never been crazy about the CW versions, the upper body is too big.

Cool, the Geonosis battle is my favorite part of Episode II.

As for Bultar Swan, there's two versions I know of: the one you mentioned (who's dressed like in the Episode II battle) and another one which came with a comic book and another figure. The "Legacy" version is close but I'd love to see her as a TVC.

I've been saving the blu-ray versions for the inevitable ice storm I'm sure we'll be getting in the not-too-distant future and I need something to keep me from getting cabin fever LOL! EVERYONE is usually a shut-in for a good two days.

I'm hoping they're still on schedule for the "Vintage Collection" vehicles because that's the only one I'm interested in. No offense but I've never been too crazy about "Episode I" - BUT they might get some enthusiasm out of me with Episodes II and III! LOL Paul already knows all you need to do for my undivided attention is saying one of three magic words: "Luminara", "Shaak Ti", or "Barriss".

I've only seen one version (not the closeup) and he's not one I'd run out and buy but Half Price Books had this one (and Fi-Ek-Sirch) tacked on the back wall and for $3.99 each. And yes Paul, he's been opened for a couple months, standing on one of my curios LOL

I would have stamped "RETURN TO SENDER"! LOL

Took long enough to find this one! LOL I like this one even better than the CW and SL versions.

I've been meaning to watch Episode I on blu-ray so I'll keep an eye out for her. I wouldn't mind an updated version too, and maybe Bultar Swan from Episode II.

Re: Jedi Temple Archives News: 2012 Ushers In A New Price Hike!

Scott — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:33:20 -0000

Have you seen the Movie Heroes 2012 checklist? More of the same, two Obi-Wan's already scheduled. Nothing I'll be going on a wild goose chase to find. And there's only two TVC figures and 1 TVC vehicle I'm looking forward to and not going on any chase around the Dallas/Fort Worth area for them, either. Hasbro pretty much tired and burned me out in 2011 and if they don't make an effort in the earlier part of this year, forget them. Obviously they're off to a good start, I haven't seen one 2012 item in any store. Pick and choose who gets the decent distribution Hasbro, pick and choose.

Same here, I've BEEN burned out on the same old stuff, especially this past year with very little new stuff. We've missed a good half of the TVC and when we do get them, it's months after everyone else got them.

Re: Jedi Temple Archives News: Visual Guide Update - Zam Wesell (VC30) - The Vintage Collection

Scott — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 10:42:22 -0000

It's nice looking but the SL Boba Fett I bought has "loose arms" (and same for the Destroyer Droid in that last little SL wave).

Re: Jedi Temple Archives News: Visual Guide Update - Zam Wesell (VC30) - The Vintage Collection

Scott — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 10:41:14 -0000

Yeah, it's not a very good version but nowhere near as bad as the 12" tall Zam. The TVC version is obviously the best one.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I also opened my TJ Maxx Super Battle Droid last night too! I'm going to need a couple more clear tackle boxes before it's over with LOL!

Re: Jedi Temple Archives News: New Value Star Wars Items Showing Up At TARGET!

Scott — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 10:37:24 -0000

They had lots of stuff like this in the $1 section at Target for months: CW puzzles, pens, note pads, yo-yo's, just odds and ends. I've found some CW puzzles at Dollar Tree too.

Another one of those blink-and-you'll-miss him/her characters (minus his Clone Wars appearance in the 3rd season). Just like there's a Jedi Council member, a West Indian looking woman named Depa Billaba or something like that - I don't recall seeing her at all!

Good deal but the only ones my 2 Wal-Mart's has I either already have or don't want (especially all the yellowed ones).

LOL!! You're right, Kimberly too! And sorta kinda Katherine, but she joined the cast after the 1995 movie.
