| Nice work, DV! I had no idea about the tank. It's great when we have an awsome group of people who all know something, then can combine everyone's knowleged and get the complete background!
One of the main reasons we brought this site together. And I'm glad that most of the orignal Watto's guys are here.
And to you DZ.... SWEET Gunship collection. I WANTED that damn Twilek version. I could not bring myself to pay the 50 bucks for it. Kept thinking my Walmart would mark it down. They didn't and I missed out. Funny though, I didn't mind dropping the 50 bucks on the new TRU version. Guess it's because I know the regular price on that is 80.
Hasbro touches on that in the Q&A session I posted the link for. Someone asked why the price hike on the ARC Fighter, when TRU still has their exclusive next to if for 25 bucks less. | |

| The Legacy Millenium Falcon that was 1/2 price in UK TRU at £75 has now been put up to full price again for Christmas - £150!
The Jugganaut from Empire became the AT-AT. I have a McQuarrie sketch of it with concept snowtroopers alongside it. It looks exactly as it finally appeared in Revenge of the Sith - I will try to get a copy of it posted here. | |

| This has been a VERY good week!
Started off with finding the Dewback on Tuesday. My wife came home with the AT-ST yesterday, Today I got TWO packages in the mail. The Ewoks and Leia figures that Darth Father found for me and the '96 Slave 1 ship and VINTAGE B-Wing pilot I got from Boba Fett 2009!
The stuff is GREAT!!!! If you guys have not checked out what he has to offer, go to his link with the pics of stuff for sale and take a look. Good prices and great quality. I always wanted the re done Slave 1 but never wanted to spend the price on ebay. I got it for what I think is a very fair price! | |

| I have a spare SOTE Slave 1. I plan on customizing it back to an Imperial Police Intercept Vehicle. On the back burner right now with work on the chopper ruling a good portion of my life over the winter. | |

| Hells yeah this week I picked up the AT-ST, and the Corporate Alliance Tank (snail) Droid... I didn't think I'd see the AT-ST- the Walmart near my house has the star wars stuff in like three different sections! I looked around and had given up when I stumbled across a whole end display packed full of them. I really like the snail tank. There's some sweet detail on it, like how the center track moves... They could have easily just molded it as part of the chasis and stuck a small wheel underneath, but they actually used a separate moving track. :cyclops: Really happy with it, especially after being really disappointed with the Republic Fighter Tank. | |

| I dropped by one of the walmarts here and they had a middle of the floor display of about 40 AT-STs and on the racks with the figures they had about 12 dewbacks. I now have one of each in my collection. I also found the new commander cody. | |

| Found a semi-roughed up Yoda Mighty Mugg today. No box, no saber, but a few dabs of extra paint. For $3 I decided I could overlook all that. | |

| J1m, I have not been able to bring myself to open the AT-ST!
I will, probably in the next day or two. It is SCREAMING to be played with!
I found a pretty good stock of them at one of my local Walmarts FINALLY. There must have been 10 0r 12. And they had 4 Dewbacks.
The one right down the street from my work still has nothing. | |

| Last night, picked up the second Gunship pod! I can't believe I have almost a hundred bucks into this thing. But, Like J1m said, at least when your done you have two pods and a complete pilot crew. | |

Hey DJ how long ago did those pods start showing up at your stores???? I'm worried I may have missed out... I think I might end up having to go eBay to get those turrets. | |

| [b]Today I picked up the GEONOSIS ARENA PLAYSET! Scored off of Craigslist. At last my Geonosis battle scene will be complete... I'm going to have to get my camera out and take some picks. I'll post eventually... I might end up putting it up for trade. | |

| Not really all that long ago, DZ. I think I got the first pack last month. I had seen a few other packs, but did not have the money on me at the time. They are not as common as the rest of the packs, but they are around.
TRY to avoid ebay if you can! I have seen ONE pod, no figures sell for over 30 bucks!!! | |

| Yeah I know, but I figure I have a few extra pilot clones, so I'd really only be buying the battle packs for the turrets anyway. eBay gets crazy sometimes, but a nerd's gotta do what a nerd's gotta do... | |
