 Rescue Mission: Rescue Mission - The protocol droid C3-PO seeks out Han to inform him that Luke has not returned to the base. To find his friend, Han sets out on a Tauntaun in the Hoth's snowy wastes, heedless of the dropping temperatures, which is likely to kill him. |
 Command Center: The nerve center of Echo Base was its darkened command center where alliance scanner operators carefully monitored incoming data from the scattered sensors placed by Rebel scouts in the Hoth wilderness. |
 R.H.A.A.T: The Republic Heavy Amored Artillery Tank was one of the first in the series of larger and more imposing armored vehicles that the Grand Army of the Republic built as a much more versatile craft to overcome the immense firepower of the Separatist ground vehicles. |
 I have always been fond of the various books that come out in relation to a Star Wars movie, and I will be looking forward to purchasing some of the visual guides and other reference material. The Official Site has recently released a list of all the EP3 books that will soon come out, and you can view that list of books by clicking here. |
 The video game, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, The Sith Lords, will be released on December 7, 2004, and that happens to be just around the corner. The first KOTOR video game was one incredible ride, where you could choose the path of either the Light or Dark Side of the Force. The audio and video were out of this world, but creating the environments is really one of the hardest tasks in creating a video game. KOTOR2 has many new worlds and environments, and heading the artwork of KOTOR2 is the Lead Artist, Aaron Meyers. Aaron has recently written up his own "diary" of working behind-the-scenes of this upcoming game, and if you'd like to hear what he has to say then click here. |
 “Hey Troops, Donna from So Cal here. First off, a big Shout Out to fellow So Cal Trooper Dom for hooking me up with the Scanning Crew fig. Even though I had to work on Black Friday, I was still able to find some new stuff after work. Went to TRU and scored all five of the Post-OTC wave one with Sly Moore. They all rung up for $5.99 and there was a sticker on the pegs noting Pre-EPIII figs priced at $5.99. Also able to pick up the Naboo set. Then on Sunday, went to Target and found the re-issued Unleashed Darth Vader wave, the Jedi Force including the elusive Darth Vader and the Slave I. The Slave I?s are slowing trickling in and the one I bought still does not contain his missile. Nothing at Wal-mart and K-mart. Happy Hunting to all!”Theloneswlady@aol.com |
- click above to enter - ?This trooper started at 5 AM to run the gambit in Northern Indiana to bring you a store report on the busiest shopping day of the year. Here's what I found when rubbing elbows with the all the Notre Dame fans.Wal-Mart (Plymouth): Wal-Mart was a mad house when we walked in at 5:15 AM! People were jockeying for position to snag the early bird sales on DVD players, kids learning keyboard, TV's, and computers. However, this Trooper made his way back to the action figure aisle to scope out if anything had been brought out since Wednesday night. I was rewarded with finding a single VOTC Stormtrooper where just over 24 hours ago, there had been nothing at all. They also had the OTC Slave Leia wave, but I passed as I already had most of these in my collection. K-mart (Plymouth): There was nothing for Star Wars toys here except a Saga Dengar or two. Quite disappointing for a store that in the past has offered up some HTF figures. K-mart (US-31 South Bend): Not much here besides a few OTC Lobot and the Blue Snaggletooth Cantina. However, they did have some nice 4-shelf bookcases on sale for under $13. These are perfectly sized and priced to display your collection! Target (US-31 South Bend): This Target had all the VOTC, including R2-D2, C-3P0, and Chewbacca, as well as a single Slave-1. I snagged a few VOTC Stormtroopers from here to add to the growing collection guarding my Imperial shuttle. Meijers (US 20 & 331): The Rabe wave of the Post OTC wave was lingering here. A lot of the Celebration Amidala figures while only a few of the others in that wave. The Unleashed X-wing Luke Skywalker also answered the roll call and was keeping the recently released Unleashed figures company. Meijers (Main St. Mishawaka): Nothing present except some older Saga figures. No sign of any Post OTC figures that had been seen at many Meijers lately. Buy Me Toys (University Commons Mishawaka/South Bend): A cool comics and collectibles store that has something for everyone. From figures and Gentle Giant busts to comics and posters, this place was packed full of goods! I was informed that they would be bringing out even more Star Wars stuff as they were still unpacking it all. They did have quite a few of the Exclusive Sandcrawlers at the very reasonable price of $55. None of them appeared to have the droid arm errors that we've seen pop up in other areas. If you are into the statues and busts, definitely check this place out as they have quite a selection of busts, bust ups, Clone Wars Maquettes and Kotobukiyas! All in all, a nice opportunity to grab whatever you need to fill in the gaps in your collection! KB Toys (University Park Mall): Unless you're looking for old blue card Saga figures or trying to pick up the new Cobra H.I.S.S/A.S.P multi-pack, then I wouldn't waste your time here. It took me longer to find a parking spot than to go through the pegs to discover that this was a wasted trip. TRU (Mishawaka): While it was crowded with parents and children alike, this was definitely the place to be if you were looking for the VOTC figures. They must have received multiple cases of each wave because I saw no less than half a dozen VOTC Stormtroopers, five VOTC R2-D2's, five VOTC Chewies, and three VOTC C-3P0's. They also had plenty of the Falcons and the new Naboo Final Conflict multi-packs in stock. I walked out with more Stormies for my collection, but left plenty behind for my fellow collectors. Wal-mart (Mishawaka): Only a few ANH VOTC figures and a lone VOTC R2-D2 were on the pegs in this store. Every time that I've stopped in here, it's been very disappointing. Save your time and go elsewhere to try and score the toys you are looking for. That's it for me on this wild and crazy day. All I can say is it's time for some leftovers and a nap. If anyone out there's interested in trading to me a loose Naboo Royal Starship playset, Gentle Giant busts, or Imperial AT-AT's, please contact me. Also still looking to get hooked up with that awesome display for the Sam's Club Falcon (see through oval with the ship and figures inside.) Remember, United We Find! Sandtrooper Jetfire out!" jetfire_99@yahoo.com |

 “Ann Arbor, MI: Went on a toy run today hoping to get lucky with some pre-Black Friday new stock. The Post-OTC wave is hitting Meijer stores in the area. I saw them in Toledo, OH yesterday and Ann Arbor today. (No ANH figures though.) I picked some up for a fellow trooper in the area. The Target in Ypsilanti was stocked with full pegs of VOTC ESB/ROTJ and OTC General Lando, Madine, and Han AT-ST. I have yet to see one Slave I at any Target store. No signs of Cantina scene #2 at any of the five K-Mart stores that I've hit in the last two days. Plus, their pegs are nearly empty. I wonder if K-Mart is going to stock on Thanksgiving since their stores are open. I may need to hit them in the morning. The Wal-Mart stores in the area have nothing. I've stopped at the one in Belleville, MI almost daily for six weeks and haven't seen one new OTC figure. There must be major scalping at that location (or they just hate me). The Toys "R" Us in Ann Arbor had full pegs today, but it was all older OTC stuff. Plenty of Y-Wings though. I'd like to wish all the Troopers a happy and safe Thanksgiving Day. Gobble, gobble!” KaperJB@aol.com |
 “Here's a little store report for today.Target (Gurnee, IL): “had every VOTC fig except C-3PO & the Stormtrooper for $8.84. They also had old HOF figs, not to mention the OTC Slave I & Unleashed Count Dooku in the new packaging. Wal-Mart (Gurnee, IL): “had 2 VOTC ROTJ Boba Fetts & plenty of VOTC ANH figs except Luke. The rest were old figs. TRU (Gurnee, IL): “still has a VOTC C-3PO as well as the VOTC ROTJ figs & plenty of Y-wing Fighters. KB Toys (Gurnee, IL) “still has the 2 VOTC ESB C-3PO, ROTJ Boba Fett, & ROTJ Stormtroopers. Target (Waukegan, IL): “had a couple of VOTC ROTJ Boba Fett to go with the old stuff. That's all for now. Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone.” wrightcombo@juno.com |
 “Pre-Turkey day toy run netted me the elusive OTC Scanning Crew Trooper from Target in Killeen, TX. I picked up 2 one to keep and one to trade. The card has a small bend on the bottom corner. All other stores are getting ready for Black Friday, except Kmart, which is open on Thanksgiving! Poor, poor, poor employees that have to go in. That?s all from Central Texas. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Troopers out there! Starfox signing out.”starfox@hot.rr.com |
 “I just wanted to drop a note in before the holiday. There is not much going on here in Central TX. Here is a current break down:Target: “Full Pegs of VOTC ROTJ waves. Lots of Boba, Stormtroopers, R2, and Chewie. A few of the ESB one also. No C-3PO. Also they have not put out any basic figures in a while. They have a few TIE, X-Wing and Falcons also. Also this is the only place I have seen the Jedi Force line. They have all of them except the Vader. They have not restocked the Galactic Heroes in a while. Lots of Unleashed, but still no Slave I. I can't believe that. I am just not sure what is going on there, granted they have no shelf space for it anyway. Wal-Mart #1: “What can you say besides choking on VOTC ANH. I mean they have those things stacked up all over the toy section. Also still sporting the 2004 Saga figures with a few early OTC figures in the mix. Not much to speak of basically. I have not seen anything new here is quite some time. Well since they put out all of those VOTC figs. They also have tons of the Galactic Heroes waves 1 & 2. Wal-Mart #2 “Almost the same story. Although they have had peppering of new OTC figures every now and then. But right now it full pegs of VOTC ANH and some early OTC figures mixed in with SAGA 05 figures. So not much news there either. TRU: “Wow, what interesting mess this place is. Not real sure what is going on here. Unfortunately I missed the POTC wave they put out last week but it was only one case. The week before I picked up the last OTC figures I needed from the one case they got. They have pegs full of old figures. They have tones of everything else that is OTC. I mean everything, except basic figures. I?m not real sure why this is. But it has been this way for a long time. They have and overload of Unleashed also. Chewie, Hoth Luke and Clones. So if you are not there the day they open the case you are out of luck for basic figures. They still have some Silver Vader figures left also. Well that about sums it up for this locale. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Troops out there. And as always...Hunt'em Down!” swfan_bcs@hotmail.com |
 Lucasfilm Ltd. is planning on moving 1,500 employees from their current base of operations in Marin County to San Francisco in July 2005. George Lucas will be moving his visual effects and video game units to the Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco's Presidio. Unfortunately local officials of Marin County are not too thrilled with this decision. Read the full story here. |
 Did anyone here know that Anthony Daniels played another role in Star Wars: A New Hope, besides playing the role of C-3PO? I sure didn't until I checked out his personal website. He played the small role of CZ-3. I think it's pretty cool learning about this now, especially after ANH has been out for almost 30 years. It's just one of those things you learn about from the actors, and not from George Lucas or Lucasfilm. I would never have known about this, had I not gone to Anthony Daniels' personal website. Want to learn more about Anthony Daniels? If you do then check out his site here, and feel free to talk about this in our forums. |

| “A few footnotes from Central Texas. Sun Coast has the Yoda Maquette and the Sandcrawler. The Sandcrawler is a lot shorter than I imagined and definitely not worth the $59.99 they were asking for it. I?ll wait until they go on clearance somewhere before I drop some hard earned cash on this baby! .... Starfox signing out... ” starfox@hot.rr.com |
 Well, I have some news. I have just come back from Orlando, Florida and visited Downtown Disney's Once Upon a Toy, the store operated by Hasbro and where the exclusive Sandcrawler is being sold. On their shelves there were about 12 Sandcrawlers and out of those twelve, three had the error shown at The Jawa. On the other hand (or should I say arm), the one I picked (the one in the picture you'll see) has two LEFT arms, instead ... TWO LEFT ARMS ! This was the only one the store had and was pulled out of a brand new case for me. |
 After seeing the poor quality of the plastic used for the "new version" of the Sandcrawler, the lack of electronics and even the lack of movement as it has NO wheels, these errors come to accent even further how little attention to quality control Hasbro paid to this toy. Instead of improving on its design and pack-ins, seems rather an effort was made to strip it off from any collectible value, yet charging a premium due to its "justifiable" Exclusive status. For collectors gathering variants and errors toys, like myself, it is a cool deal. However, I can understand the rest of you out there getting upset. After all, the figure being a rehash and inaccurately painted gold, now shows up with wrong arms. Way to go big H! Check out the detailed pictures of the error and ... Enjoy? |
 It has been reported that the 53-year-old Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the first three Star Wars movies, is not very happy with how the prequels have gone, stating that they are "too serious." Hamill said, "To me, they are just too serious. So orderly and almost religious. Like The Ten Commandments." He also mentioned that he is furious the new series has turned the saga into a lesson in Christian morals. This information was reported on contactmusic.com's website. |

| “Ann Arbor, MI: The ROTJ and ESB VOTC are at the local Toys "R" Us today in a big way. There must be at least two cases of each out since there were a couple of C-3PO figures. They also had 4-5 of the OTC Lando Skiff Guards. The Wal-Mart stores in Bellville and Ypsilanti had a couple of the ROTJ VOTC. No K-Mart Cantina Scene #2 anywhere in the Ann Arbor or Toledo area. There is enough Cantina Scene #1 to build a small section of the Great Wall though. I did spot some of the post OTC wave at the Toys "R" Us on Central Ave. in Toledo a few days ago. Also, the Meijer stores that I have stopped by this week have cut back on their Star Wars toys big time. There is less than 25% of the space devoted to the toys compared to a week ago, which stinks because they have been a great place to find toys over the past month. Until next time, keep on keepin' on. Trooper Jon out.” KaperJB@aol.com |
 “Hey Troops, Wish I had some real news, but here's something...got the FAO Schwarz catalogue today and noticed that the write up for the 15-inch Chewie statue states that he has "a disassembled 3CPO on his back." That's right 3CPO. Boy, you'd think for $185.00 a pop, they'd get golden rod's name right. Anyway, still looking for a 12" Plo Koon and a saga card Lando Death Star Attack.”dsollitto@new.rr.com |

| “Troopers, it looks like the Post-OTC waves are starting to pop up in West Michigan at the local Meijers stores. Both the Holland store and the Grand Haven store had two sets of the first five figures. I'm not real thrilled about the $6.99 price though. However, a Wal-Mart down near South Bend, Indiana had this wave marked at under $5! My awesome wife, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law snagged these up for me. Unfortunately, when they got to the cashier, they rang up as $5.83. Well ask a few questions to the right people and you not only get them for the price on the peg, but also some small compensation for them ringing up incorrectly. What a country! That about covers it on my end. I am still looking for someone to hook me up with that awesome display for the Sam's Club Falcon (see through oval with the ship and figures inside), more VOTC Stormtroopers, VOTC C-3P0, or the Costco X-wing/TIE dogfight 2-pack.

| “Hot news from Central Texas! Even though my beloved Cowboys got the horse snot beat out of them by the Eagles last night on MNF, I'm still in a grand mood! Here's how lucky my day has gone, stopped by Wal-Mart in Killeen and was lucky enough to stumble upon (not one, but 2) fresh cases of VOTC just being opened and to my surprise I found a VOTC C-3PO, woo hoo! I also picked up the Boba Fett, Stormtrooper, Lando, R2 and Chewie. WOW! I finally score big in Central Texas. Next stop, Target, and they are still bone dry. Just a few VOTC Solo's handing around and old SAGA Hoth Han & Han AT-ST. Are we detecting a pattern here? Kmart still has a few of the Blue Snaggle Cantina sets hanging around and a bunch of the talking Ask Yoda. Then I stopped by TRU, which has not ever had one single OTC figure in this store yet, just a bunch of old SAGA figs, although we do have the Y-Wing. As I walked down the aisle at 9:58am, almost a full hour after the scalpers hit, I see some black-carded figs in the distance. I eagerly speed up my step to see what I might find, and WOW! A whole case of the Pablo Jill wave! I almost soiled myself (maybe I should not have said that). I grabbed a set for myself and made to the counter to get my free Silver Vader to go along with my new score, and then I was told they are all out, bummer! The first time this store has anything new and they're all out of Vader. Well that's all for now, keep checking your stores, it eventually pays off. Starfox signing out...” starfox@hot.rr.com |

| “It's opening day of deer season here in the Midwest so I went hunting for some new figures for my collection. The Holland Target was a nice surprise with a half a dozen or so OTC AT-ST Han Solo. They also had a few General Madine and General Lando plus a beaten up Greedo. No Slave-I's in the vicinity though. K-mart was bare bones just a day after finding the Handstand Luke. I blinked and they were gone. I'm glad that I at least got one before they vanished. While Meijers had a ton last week, there's not much left. The Hoth Vader/Slave Leia wave hit hard at the end of last week to only vanish today. At first glance one would think that they had all been taken to an endcap or elsewhere, but none to be seen. That's it for now. Please keep this Trooper in mind if you are up for trading/selling the display for the Sam's Club Falcon (see through oval with the ship and figures inside) or the transitional OTC figs These are all high on my wish list.

United WE Find.Found some of the Jedi Force Playskool figures today at the Polaris Target - They had several C-3PO/ R2- D2 and Luke Skywalker. No Darth Vader or Chewbacca. Recently found some of the last wave 29-38 of the OTC figures at Meijers. No signs of the EP3 preview wave yet. I?ve seen about 2 dozen Silver Vader hanging on the pegs at Toys R Us today for $9.99 - to bad there was nothing new to buy to get it for free. If anyone still need one let me know and I can run back and get them - either trade or will send for cost-plus shipping. That?s it from here in Columbus, Ohio.” Onebigk@aol.com |
 Hey fellow troopers. With all the news of people finding the new Post OTC figures at Toys-R-Us I decided to hunt for them myself. Though I did not find the first wave of figures that has Pablo-Jill, Yarua, Sly Moore, Rabe and Queen Amidala. I did find Feltipern Trevagg, Myo, and Dannik Jerriko for the new higher price of $5.99 each. With this wave of figure there was also a clean Biker Scout, Chewbacca, Han Solo, and a Sandtrooper on the pegs. I am in Indianapolis, Inidana, in case you were wondering where in the USA the figures were found.PS -- For those of you who like to collect carded / error figures here is a new one for you. The new Feltipern Trevagg figure has an ERROR on the back of the package. The little picture of Myo on the back does not have his '05# it is just an empty red block with the little '05 but not his number which is #6. Click here to see a larger image of the back of this card. |
