 “Hey Troops! Trooper Larry reporting with an area report from Mentor, Ohio. I caught wind of a toy and card show in the local mall, so I grabbed my modified blaster, biggest pair of SCALP kickers, and headed out. I was a little disappointed when I got there. There was only one of the local area Scalps that showed up. His prices seemed to be relatively lower than usual. Most of the figs he had were 6 bucks, but he did have a Silver Bobba for $30, Clone Wars Animated wave 2, for $12 each. The one that almost caused me to stomp him was an Ephont Mon for $30, but was the bigger man and walked away. I made sure he had seen the armor (Read: 'Sandtroopers T-shirt' - Ed.) though. The only other place I stopped was Target, and all they had was a lone animated Durge and it was beaten. Ill try TRU tomorrow with hopes that they've restocked for their sale. Keep hitting your Targets troops, the animated figs are out there, and make sure you show Scalpers what mud holes are really for.” |
 “Here comes the first www.StarconstruX.de update in the year 2004 and it`s a big one! Finally we've opened our `Material Section!` In there you will find an overview about the materials we use, together with a short description. In addition you will find a section called `Tips And Tricks.` Here we give you some instructions that will help you to build your own dioramas. Both sections will be updated and expanded regularly. Hopefully this helps to answer most of your questions. Furthermore we have 14 new 360 degree turns from figures of Harald Fl�gge and more than 100 new snapshots of Markus Gerlach`s dioramas. And the last info: StarconstruX is guest at the German JEDI-CON 2004 (www.jedicon.de) with a big Diorama and Custom presentation and some workshops. So hurry up and take a look around, there`s a lot of new stuff to see! Thanks!” |
 “We at The Private Universe thought it would be a good idea to let Hasbro UK know what Star Wars toys all the UK collectors are still searching for or are looking forward to buying in 2004. This should help Hasbro UK see what items should be made available in the UK. TPU has been in contact with Hasbro UK and they are willing to look at the results of all your wish lists. So it is important for all UK collectors to send in a wish list as the more results the better. The closing date for your wish lists is 31st January. Use the form to fill out your wish list.” |
| “ Hi Troopers, Lisette from NYC reporting, although I don't have much to report. The TRU in Times Square had the same old stuff with the exception of the re-packaged Jedi 4 pack. The TRU in Union Square is even worse. At least I have hopes of finding something in the Times Square TRU. If anyone can find me a set of the second wave of the Animated Clone Wars figures, I'll appreciate it. That's all for now. ” |

I am looking for the new Skiff Lando wave that many Midwest troopers are finding. I am hoping that one of those troopers may be in need of the wave I found and would like to trade for what the wave they are finding. If anyone can help, e-mail me. I am also looking for the Clone Wars Clone trooper facing right in the kneeling position. Hope someone can help. ” |
 Dateline: Central Texas Reporting In “ Well there is not much going on in Central Texas right now. My Target is down to restocking once a week again. And as of right now they have some Clone Wars Animated Wave 1, about 4 Hoth troopers, and a case of Ultra Wave 1 hanging on the pegs. All of that has been hanging around for a couple of weeks. One of my Wal-Marts has nada. They only have 4 pegs for SW stuff anyway. Those are crammed into the space for about half of an actual figure. But those pegs are empty and have been since they reset the toy section a few weeks ago. The other Wal-Mart is better. They have a nice section for SW stuff. Several pegs (let's say 10) are there for basic figs and some for Ultra (about 4) and the 3 pegs for the Unleashed. Also some shelf space for 12-inch. Right now they have an Unleashed Han and Boba, 12-inch Jedi Luke and Ewoks, and some Wave 1 Ultra. The basic figures are all from the first available figures from EP II midnight madness (what's going on?). |

| “ Just thought that I would write and let everyone know that like most of you, I have not found a thang out here in the sunny tundra of So Cal. Zip, zero, zilch, nada! So don’t feel like you are the only one. “ I wanted to send a shout out to two fellow troopers: Jedimaster-C and trooper Alfred Orozco for landing me an Acklay and the new R1-G4 wave respectively. Great troopers, a great help in finding me a few things to fill up my collection. “ Also, with regards to Spice's info on Amazon.com, take the advice he has mentioned. I have had many an unpleasant experience, mainly with 3.75 inch figs. I don’t think I have ever received one in C-9 condition or better, always a crease, dent, ding, bend, or a crushed bubble, yep, a crushed bubble! Though they have been kind enough to refund me for SOME of the items, it has gotten to the point of it not being worth it. So buyer beware! Good luck all. Anyone help with the 2nd wave of Animated figs? C-9+ or better? E-mail me. I can maybe help out with something you may need. ” |
 “ Greetings one and all from a chilly SoCal! Stopped by the Pasadena (Old Town) Target and they had a truck load of the Series 1 Animated Clone Wars figs, but no signs of Series 2 yet. The Hoth Luke wave was there too so I picked up an R-3PO and the Hoth Luke. Still looking for a Holiday R2-D2 & C-3PO from a couple of Christmas' ago if anyone can help. That's it for now and be good to each other and take care. Peace, OUT! ”swdude@earthlink.net |
| Dateline: Another Pass on the Toys 'R' Us Jedi Pack “ Hey Troops. Trooper Larry reporting from the Mentor, Ohio front. I made my usual run over the weekend, but walked away empty handed. Wal-Mart in Mentor has yet to restock. K-mart still has 2002 wave 1 figures, and a few droid launchers. TRU had the Jedi four pack, but I had to pass on it. I might pick it up if the Silver Clone is released as rumored, but otherwise, I foresee it warming the shelves for awhile. Wal-mart in Strongsville has the bar wave lingering, but nothing else. Target in Strongsville has yet to restock. That’s it for this report troops. 'Til next time, break scalpers off a little sumthin' sumthin' ” |

 Dateline: Is Mattel Still Making These? “ Attention all Masters of the Universe fans. Hey all, This is not related to Star Wars but any fans of the MotU line, especially in Alabama, listen up. I got off the phone with Mattel. The lady I spoke to said the line is still being made. It is up to all fans of MotU to tell the managers at all their stores that there is still interest in Masters of the Universe. Thanks. ”c-ryan@mchsi.com |
 Dateline: The Manager Looked at Me Like I Was Insane. “ I went to my local TRU and asked them about the promotion on Feb 1 and the manager I talked to looked at me like I was insane. I am concerned that if this is the Silver Clone we heard about, are all TRU's going to see the promo or just special stores? I didn't see the ad in my Sunday paper or has the ad been circulated yet? ”c-ryan@mchsi.com |

 Dateline: Did Any of the Black Skirt Version Make it to the Pegs? “ Was the red ARC with Black Skirt ever found on the pegs? Curious, I was looking at my Red ARC Trooper, and remembered seeing a picture of a loose variant having a black skirt, instead of blue. I started doing some digging again for photographic proof, and found the loose comparison, red version carded, and both carded variations. It appears that the corrected red ARC has a dark grey skirt (in hand), opposed to the transition blue-grey skirt from the value packed ARC. But the loose pre-realease shots clearly show the red ARC wears a black skirt. Did any of the black skirt versions make it to the pegs?“ I realize I'm probably barking up the wrong tree here, as a few of you are still looking for a Red ARC Trooper, but does anyone have an extra with the black skirt variant? Both of mine have the gray skirt, and I would love to trade one for the black skirt variant. Please let me know whether anyone can help. I am also still in search of a Deluxe Kamino Showdown Obi-Wan if anyone has an extra for trade or sale. Peace and happy hunting to all in the new year! Sandtroopers rock. Oozark out. ” |
 Dateline: Even if a Scalper was Star Trek they Still Couldn't Cling On. “ Lin Que with a Midwest report. Newer figs have been creeping in. My Wal-Marts seem to be caught in reset limbo with a lot of empty space where stuff is supposed to go. Last week on my trip to Iowa I returned home disappointed. A stop in Carroll, Iowa showed me 2002 Saga figs so if anyone wants a Captain Typho or Coruscant Disguise Anakin, there you go. I did see the remains of the Batman Killer Croc wave, no Croc, of course. Has anyone seen the Wal-Mart exclusive Spawn Figs? I am willing to buy them if someone were to pick me up a set. Take care troops!!! Even if a scalper was Star Trek they still couldn't cling on. ”washingtonss@cox.net |

I currently work in what's left of Zany Brainy and the 'Auctions' of the Star Wars displays has me even more disgusted, the company running the auction does not even own the displays or fixtures. The money made from these is going to further line the pockets of the scoundrel share holders who have already cashed in. Now I'm not saying they should not be sold, and I'm sure if they were given away at store level they would have ended up on ebaykmclark14@comcast.net |
 “ Hey Troops, Vindicator back in the house after a shorter-than-usual hiatus in Collectorville, Canada. We've actually been getting scattered reports of some 2004 figures being located at Wal-Marts up here - odd, as Wally didn't carry the 3.75 inch line last year at all. Found so far have been Luke Hoth Attack, Rebel Trooper Hoth Evacuation and R-3PO. 3 out of 6 ain't bad - for us. Also reading reports of figures 7-11 (Jabba's Palace Wave) being up for sale on ebay.

 Dateline: Scalpin' Scum Will Do Anything to Make a Buck “ News from the south of Wisconsin. Nothing. As in after stopping at six stores I saw one clone wars Obi General, nothing else figure-wise. I did see something that upset me though. You know how Target puts the little red clearance sticker on their clearance stuff? Do you think that it's odd to see these items on Wal-Mart shelves for regular price? I would have been happy to purchase that Hailfire Droid or Geonosian Fighter Lego at clearance.

I still have 1 set of the 4 Animated figures I would like to trade toward some of my current wants. Please take a look at my list and let me know. Some items I need are the 12-inch Bikerscout with speederbike, 12-inch Saga Bikerscout, and a Death Star Clash Vader. Let's work something out. ” |
 Dateline: Cartoon Network Figs in Abundance “ Just a quick update. I got to spend the weekend in Mantica and found the Cartoon Network figs in abundance at the local Target. Wal-Mart had nothing at all but it looked like they were gearing up for new stuff. The Wal-Mart in Tracy had some old figs , but the surprising thing was the 12-inch Yoda and Luke. That’s all for now. MTFBWY. ”awingace@msn.com |
 Background: In May 1997, the famous words, “Within this hour we will tell you five stories, some real, some fake, you decide. Your call” could first be heard. In 2002, General J of Sandtroopers joined the ranks of James Brolin and Jonathan Frakes to bring you “Beyond Belief - Fact or Fiction ...” I can't tell from just the photos, but I'm finding this one kind of hard to swallow. Are they cooking my goose? “All I can tell you for sure is that the doll is wrong and it is exactly as I purchased it!”Was I supposed to believe it? Even if I did entertain the idea that they were telling me the truth, it still wouldn't prove anything to me. Custom builders have been doing it for years. A plain thief looking to make a quick buck could do it too. “I believe this doll was placed in the box at the factory! The hands are tie wrapped to the handle bars. The legs are tie wrapped to the speeder bike with another wrap around the torso. The uniform is worn exactly as the normal figures in the other boxes. This box was one of four boxes purchased at a TARGET store. When I got the items home, I noticed that the doll in this box had red hair under the speeder helmet!”Now bells were going off. Why would someone with honest intentions buy four of these (unless they were on a S.C.A.L.P. Mission, scoring some for fellow Troops for cost, and even then, who would arbitrarily purchase four off the shelf without scrutinizing both package and figure?). “No one else other than a factory worker did this swap! This is the first edition error Star Wars Leia on Speeder Bike.”If you want to see what a real moron's auction looks like, then check out this poor fool's. Some people are just useless. |
