[KENNY GUIDO]

Pass on all. I'll be waiting for Zev's Snowspeeder.

Sorry but I pass on these future shelfwarmers

[Guest McBragg]

UPDATE: Graham from iliketocollect.com just came through with infos on a fourth set.

 

- Jundland Wastes Encounter: Luke Skywalker, Tusken Raider, C-3PO, R2-D2, Ben Kenobi

 

For those who missed out on Tatooine Luke. @smilepunch@

 

Too bad they won't make the unmade Dagobah POTF playset. Who's the 5th figure? Dragonsnake? Spirit obi won? Clone Swamp Trooper... @hmmm@

 

Geonosis has potential....yeah, right...more like ATOC era prepose junk figures, the kind that help kill my figure interest for a few years.

 

Who else was at Ilum?

Maybe that's where the moisture vaporator will show up?

Personally, I like the sounds of this set (depending on which figs are used)

Too bad they won't make the unmade Dagobah POTF playset.

What was this? I can't remember any right off hand.

I have my Dagobah figures based around the vintage playset, sans the (now disintigrated) foam

Who else was at Ilum?

Padme', Capt. Typho, Yoda, R2, 3PO, Luminara Unduli, Barris Offee and the attack droids.

^Thanks, I think I remember that now.

What, no 'firing laser canon'? <_>

It's a little tough to tell, but, it looks like that could be done w/ a few OTC Dagobah stands and Ultra/Deluxe 'Yoda's hut'.

Meh... they look kind of lame to me. I'll reserve total judgment until we get clearer pics though.

[Bespin refugee]

I'm not interested in the Geonosis pack, but, I might be with others. I don't have any Clone Wars set ups, but, I might get the Illum set for the figs. I like the army building aspect of the Tantive set, but, I wish the Rebel either had better arms or came with clear bands to hold the hands together. Other than the Dagobah Vader, I wouldn't mind having extras of the others. I also like the backgrounds.

[Batman27]

Hmm, I might have to grab the tantive set. By the way BespinRefugee. I'm love Heroes as well. Damn good show.

[Guest McBragg]

Dagobah: Okay figures, definately a general consumer appeal set. Obvious character/figures choices. Probably pass on it.

 

Geonosis: almost the worst choices possible (no shouting Mace Windu), except Aayla who was the odd choice out of many potential figures that could be in the pack. Anything other than the ROTS or Evolutions Dooku is junk. No interest in this set.

 

Ambush at Illum: depends on the attack droids and Padme.

 

Capture of Tantive IV: About the best one could hope for, that com-tech Vader again...guess there aren't many STAR WARS style Vaders. Amusing he keeps coming with that droid. But this set makes the Star Wars comic pack set #1 seem redundant. Why spend $10 on that, when for $20, or $25 you can get 2 super articulated stormtroopers and 2 non-tacky Rebels.

 

I want to see a cantina set, even with the obvious repacks of Han or Kenobi that would involve. They could do Dannik Jerriko with out the holes in his cheeks (which were EU). Repaint Hem Dazon's entire body, since it was never shown, why not? Would be cool.

[jedimaster-c]

Well,

 

Someone over in Texas found the Mace Windu Squadron.I saw this in the Rebelscum forums.Also,I saw the new Battle Packs coming out.Blah!!!!

I hope the stormies aren't really as bad as they look... @hmmm@

[darthsith]

Those troopers look like pooper troopers with all the dookie on them. Bad news for army builders like me.

I know! WTH's up with those? hopefully they just tossed the sandtrooper in there for mock-up pictures or something, and they'll end up being clean like on the package. if theyre clean, put me down for about a bajillion of these packs

Never give Hasbro the benefit of doing something right. @smilepunch@

 

The stuck Clone Wars Obi in Geonosis Battle, clone pilot in Jedi Temple Assualt and Darth Maul in Jedi vs. Seperatists.

From JediDefender Q&A w/ Hasbro:,

"Ambush at Ilum" will come w/ 2 attack droids, "one "solid" and one partially transparent."

 

As for "Capture of the Tantive IV"

The figure is the Evo Stormtrooper sculpt. The troopers will be clean. The dirty ones are an error at the factory that we are working to correct. As a result, this one will be delayed relative to the other two national battle packs (Dagobah and Geonosis), but should catch up in schedule quickly. These packs will be available throughout the spring ('07), so collectors should be able to pick up one or more Tantive IV sets without a problem.

Is there an ETA yet for the Imperial Shuttle?

 

I love target exclusives. I scored the mace battlepacks with ease thanks to the DPCI. #joecool#
