  1. Actually, if you watch Rey's dream sequence, Constable Zuvio is getting killed by Kylo Ren in the rain. So he does show up, in a brief scene, barely visible, just to be killed.
  2. Ok so I know I may be late to the show here, but I just went through the entire Astromech thread and thought, I wonder how many other folks have very specific collections? I myself grab only the following: Rebel Pilots & Astromechs Sith Lords Cantina Aliens Jabbas Palace Aliens Ewoks (crucify me now I know, but I loved em growing up) And I just recently started putting together a comprehensive collection of MOC Darth Vader figures. All releases, all card styles, etc. Gonna take a long while to pull that one together but you got to start somewhere! So what are your primary collections? I'll post up some pics once I get my Jabba's palace shelf set up.
  3. 1. Gray Leader or Gray 2 (with accurate Y wing costume! Not a stupid B-wing repaint! like we got for Gray 3) 2. Tzivvzt 3. Mosep 4. Bannis Keeg 5. Darth Scion (KOTOR II design) 6. Darth Traya 7. Freedon Nadd 8. Darth Caedus 9. Darth Zannah 10. Yak Face
  4. This pisses me off as well! At least last year the only difference was a stupid paint symbol. That was ok. To change a figure drastically as it is implied is just a really sh!tty move and only serves the scalpers. Once again Matty will do what it takes to screw their fans. Good job!
  5. Matty has said in the last Q&A that they are only producing a small amount of figures beyond the subscriptions for the general public. I guess that is how they want to play the game from here on out. they want people locked into sales regardless if they want a figure or not. I got a sub this year and plan to do so as long as they offer it. Hopefully next year we have an option to add beasts, bonus, and large scale figures as well to save on shipping. The coupon for BC was nice, but I still had to be on the computer from 12:45 until 12:20 before I got my order through for him. I would love to just have it all on auto pilot. I was surprised that Trap Jaw went in less than 20 minutes. But it seems this is going to be Matty's way of upping the subscriptions for next year.
  6. Venkman moved up to April! http://forums.mattycollector.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2361004165/m/5991065995
  7. Oh I am sooooooooooooo ticked off I missed out on voting. Jocasta Nu and Cliegg Lars?!?!?!?!?! Really people? I guess I should be happy cause it means I have to buy less this year. I really wish that Solomahal and Garouf Lafoe would have made it in there. I am really liking all of the Cantina aliens being made these past few years. At least 3 of them made it to the list. Hopefully next year I can get at least one Gray Y-Wing pilot from ROTJ on the ballot. We have now got such an abundance of X, B, and A wingers with the new pilot packs that have come out and yet the Y-wing's get forgotten. Looks like one more year of waiting for some of these guys. Oh well. I am still in awe of the amount of Queens and handmaiden that made it on the list. I really didn't think they would be so popular. Perhaps there were a lot of us voters that forgot about or just werent around for the tie breaker round. Oh well. Next year must haves: Gray Y-Wing Pilot Solomahal Garouf Lafoe Ket Maliss Banis Keeg Danz Borin Lirin Carn Yerka Mig Rycar Ryjerd Joruus C'Baoth Darth Zannah Darth Sion - KOTOR 2 Darth Caedus Kreia/Darth Traya - KOTOR 2 Freedon Nadd
  8. Wish list: GRAY LEADER - ROTJ (or any ROTJ Y-wing pilot for that matter done in proper gray flightsuits) Defel Tonnika Sister (The one that you are allowed to make) Ket Maliss Solomahal Tzizvvt Reegesk Banis Keeg Sai'Torr Kal Fas Danz Borin Lirin Carn Swilla Corey Yerka Mig Rycar Ryjerd Darth Bane (non armor) Darth Zannah Darth Sion - KOTOR 2 Darth Caedus Kreia/Darth Traya - KOTOR 2 Freedon Nadd Tulak Horde Ludo Kresh Ajunta Pall Marka Ragnos Naga Sadow Joruus C'Boath Mandalore - KOTOR 2 Visas Mar - KOTOR 2
  9. I signed up the day they went on sale. So from September through next December I am set for the regular line up, which looks great so far. Hopefully Matty will suspend subscription orders until the 15th of each month and check if bonus figures are ordered, and then ship it all together to avoid excessive shipping charges. That would be great, but I am not going to hold my breath. Offering subscribers the option of adding the bonuses would be great as well and ease the hassle of having to be online every 15th @ noon. So far I think the only bonus fig I am lukewarm about is Green Goddess, and even so I have to get her simply because of how neat and obscure she is. I wonder if they will consider Prince Adam as an individual release or a "Bonus" figure as he really is just a repaint. Since we are getting Adora next year I wonder how far out Adam will be? Now I am just rambling. But yeah I got my subscriptions from Sept onward. Hope they add the ability to have the bonuses added to reduce shipping costs.
  10. Hope all that wanted him got him. SOLD OUT! @ 2 hours and 45 minutes. No record mind you but for a fairly obscure figure that is pretty good. Not looking forward to the rush on the 17th for Tri-Clops, but hopefully the site will be updated like it was today. Transaction went smooth and I got mine plus Egon, so lets hope the 17th runs just as well.
  11. I signed up. I am freakin tired of the 15th web hustle! Now I know I am guaranteed at least one of each figure and if there is one I do not like in the lot of 12 then I will just sell it. SIMPLE. Thank you Mattel for hopefully making things significantly easier on the folks that have to work throughout the day. That being said, I wonder how sales for things like Battlecat are going to go? After seeing the preview pics, he is a MUST HAVE!
  12. Missing: King Greyskull, He-Man, and Beastman. I was so busy with work and life when the line went live, that I didn't even realize these were on-sale until it was too late. @grumpy@ Luckily I was checking TNI to see when these were going to be sold the day Skeletor went on sale. Grabbed him and the rest since. Hopefully will score a He-Man and Beastman this week from SDCC. I have an extra Hordak, and Man at Arms if anyone missed and would be interested in a trade for the King.
  13. With any luck I will finally be getting a He-Man and Beastman! I have a friend trying to pick these 2 up for me along with a He-Ro. The only one missing from the set will then be King Grayskull. Hopefully he is able to snag them for me. @bounce@
  14. The secondary market is most definitely at play. Go to any convention or toy show in the US and tell me how many dealers have stock in excess of 20 figures or more. Back in April at the FX show in Orlando, it was dealer table after dealer table with New MOTU figures, and every one seemed to have prices on them well over $40 each. In fact there was one dealer buying up all the skeletors from the other dealers for his booth and marking them up another $20 each. It was crazy! Dealers are cashing in big time. I really think that the subscription service is the best thing Mattel has going. One more race at noon next month, then just sit back and let the figures show up. If I dont like a figure in the subscription I'll sell it at cost. Doesn't get much simpler than that.
