On a hot tip from reading Yakface.com, I decided to check out a local Dr. Who convention that was hosting Micheal Sheard (Admiral Ozzel). The Chicago Tardis is a Dr. Who show that has been going on annually for the last 15 years. Among the many things I learned about Michael were his website and a couple of books he has written like Yes, Mr. Bronson and Yes Admiral. Both were on sale at the show but sold out by the time I was able to conduct my interview. If you are interested in purchasing either of these titles, check out his site for details. The Admiral had much to say regarding the Prequels, Hasbro and the release of his upcoming action figure. For more of my exclusive interview with Micheal Sheard, click here. |

There are at least two chase figures in this new assortment. The first is Indiana Jones. The other is the Sandtroopers. They have different coloured shoulder paldrons and weapons (rifle/blaster). Only the orange and white are shown but there may be other colours as well. We'll keep you informed. Thanks to Sandtrooper Yubyub for the info. |


"Hey Troops, Matt from Duluth, MN checking in. I would like to give a quick thanks to Spice and to Tammy, who sent me some info for my Darth Vader costume, it was helpful. We finaly have the new waves in stock up here and from searching all the local stores I have just about ALL the new figs, what a great week. I would like to ask for some help again. Is there anyone who has a Silver Convention Vader for sale or trade? I have been trying to get this figure for some time but just cant afford the $130 price tag on ebay |

Hey Troops, the mercury is starting to stay south here in Northern Illinois and due to a tight work schedule I have needed much assistance in the covering of my area. Trooper Matt-Large (a.k.a. Matt Tambor of the Kenosha, WI Techno Union) had discovered the remains of the second Clone Wars wave at the Wal-Mart in Kenosha, thus claiming the lone Gen. Obi-Wan as his prize. Agent Tweeny uncovered some of the new Unleashed assortment at the Gurnee, IL Toys 'R' Us. I had a day of an extensive run last Friday and I have come up with jack. However much to my delight when I got home from a rough day at work I found all 4 new Clone Wars and 3 from the Outlander Nightclub encounter laying on my War-Room floor! Finally I have converted her to the dark side! My wife found them at the Zion, IL K-Mart. So with much assistance to Lord Spiceowan, I am finding stuff at ease. With exception of the McQuarrie Stormtrooper and Kran Blista Vanee, I have seen just about every new release the past two weeks. Kind of nice, even the buster stores like the "K" are starting to come around. Also they had the pegwarmers clearanced to $5 dollars, how about that for some humor. Good luck to you good Troops out there. Kick A$% and take names. |

"Lin Que with a Midwest report. Found the Clone wars wave 2 and the Anakin Starfighter. I also was able to pick up wave 2 of the Halo action figures. They look great but the price tag is kinda pricey. Due to a tip I was able to find a great deal of the new Masters of the Universe vs The Snakemen figs. Anyone living in the Midwest and East Coast head to your local Aldi store. They have limited quantities for 6.99. Yesterday I picked up the new Stratos and The General. Today on a hunch I stopped back in and snagged a Zodak. They had a bunch left and even a few Fistos. I hope this info helps other collectors out there. Wal-mart does not seem to be carrying He-man anymore. Lin Que out."washingtonss@cox.net |
Some Troops wrote asking what ALDI is. ALDI is a discount grocer that began in Germany and introduced the limited assortment concept to the U.S. in 1976 when the first stores opened in southeastern Iowa. Today, ALDI has 671 stores in 25 states from Kansas to the eastern seaboard. Here is a store locator map so you'll know whether ALDI lies within your toy run stretch. Begin today. |


CWO Lord Spiceowan has personally delivered new images for some of the latest Saga and Clone Wars figures: |
![]() Thanks to Spiceowan, Jimmy Smits, and Agent Tweeny, who absconded with some of these releases from his local Target, much to the distress and aggravation of the employees there. Begin Today. |

Hey Troops, had some time off today so I hit a quick sweep through N. Illinois. The Target in Vernon Hills had Ashla & Jempa etc. but a good supply of Hailfire Droids and Geonosian Fighters. The TRU (Vernon Hills) also had a fresh assortment of WA-7, Coleman Trebor and Wat Tambor. I got a call from Agent Tweeny last night confirming he had found the remnants of the Bail Organa wave that is hitting hard elsewhere. I was happy he was able to score me a few of those. Also BIG thanks to Matt Tambor of the Kenosha, WI Techno Union for the hook up on TWO YES TWO Red Arc Troopers last week. Very cool and again proving "United We Find!" It seems that there will be plenty to go around this holiday season Troops. My guess is the McQuarrie Stormtrooper will be the pain in the a$% for at least a bit. I'm still seeing Fan's Choice #3 so I'm not going to sweat it for now. Good luck to all you Troops in your searches. United We Find! |

"Well it has been a long time since I have made a report here because overall here in Canada there hasn't been a lot happening. The only new things that we have had in the last couple of months has been the Han Hoth and Chewy Mynock wave and then in recent weeks we got a few gold cards (Vader and Luke Throne, C3P0, Snowtrooper, Jango Kamino). Of course those have all been sold because we in Canada never know when we will get new stuff. Rumour is also circulating here in Canada that we may be getting some Unleashed figures later on this month. Which ones? Nobody knows. TRUs are not sure themselves. From what I can see everyone down in the US is having no trouble keeping up with figures. Send 'em north please. I'm also looking for some fellow troopers that I can hook up with for getting figures. Any and all help is needed, Thanks. I'm almost always on Snowtroopers.ca (CMKMACD) so you can come check things out or drop me a line in the Alberta forum (provincial sections)." - Chris |

"This is an answer for Jimmy1236. I have realized that the rants that I made in the past where unproductive and new stuff has come to my area, slow as it may. Things are looking up here I am glad to say, judging by my find Saturday the 15th with the Unleashed figures. I apologize if I offended anyone but I was frustrated. It seems that every state except for mine was getting loads of stuff. Back when TRU had their clearance sale we didn't see any of the cool stuff like Wuher and the Fan Club 4. We got stuck with the lame Ep I crap. Target never got the Y-Wing. Things are looking up here. Take care."c-ryan@mchsi.com |
"Hey all, any idea whatever happened to Chad? I just realized today that I haven't seen a post from him in a lo~o~o~ong time ... so I checked the archives. The last time I saw a post for him was September 12, any idea?"Jimmy1236@aol.com This will make sense to you in Trooperland who've seen the film "Transformers: The Movie." Troopers who heard bells ringing at the mention of Huntsville, Alabama, and wondering whether Hasbro is still making something, yes, Jedimaster-C is the new handle of long-time Trooper THE CHAD after a Matrix of Leadership-related accident that happened on September 14 in the archives. |
| Which Should Hasbro Make Next? | |
| Qui-Gon Jinn - TPM | |
| Tonika Sisters - ANH | |
| General Madine - ROJ | |
| Warok the Ewok - ROJ | |
| Darth Maul - TPM | |
| R2-Q2 - ANH | |
| Jango Fett - AOC | |
With Hasbro making Imperial Dignitaries, Lt. Dannl Faytonni, and even Jimmy Smits, it's only a matter of time before some of the choices above get tackled by the mold-makers in China. Tonika sister three pack with Han? Sure, or that General Crix Madine you guys want to see get remade. Darth Maul and Jango Fett? Hasbro's catalog will be bristling with those two characters for years, despite any cries of "enough." And even though Hasbro has made dozens of versions of Qui-Gon Jinn, it's time for a plastic apology for the glandular disorder Saga Qui-Gon. Now, remember last month presented a Lando-esque "Double Deuce" of polls to vote in? Here are Extensive Poll No. 8 results: |
| Poll Double Deuce - The Jedi Points Auction | |
| The Hasbro Auction - Great idea! | |
| Worst concept ever | |
| Would work if a set amount of pts. for items | |
| Disgusted and outraged | |
| Designed to look cool but insanely stupid | |
| I'm there right now bidding 1,000,000 pts. | |
![]() Next up, let's gauge the true scarcity of so-called "hard to find" Clone Trooper Army variant packs. Were some harder to find than others, or, did a scalper swoop in, creating an extra unwanted step in this equation? Vote in Extensive Poll No. 9 above. |
