Force of the Bay
Spiceowan back at you Troops from the Dark Side of scalpers and scum on sector E-Bay to bring you some true collectable treats. First on the menu in this 2-pack Never seen these in stores growing up. Also felt a little nostalgia when I stumbled on this vintage goodie, I can't believe the condition on this one. Wanna be like Jango? This will send you in that direction. So you don't have time to make your own costume? This one here is complete and looked pretty decent. I saved this for last, this is where E-Bay gets scary. You can never be sure what is real or fake but this will make you wonder. If it is real than that is one hell of a collectable, if it's fake I feel for that winning bidder.I do not remember that character in E1 but I have been known to be wrong from time to time. Until next time Troops , Kick A&% and take names !

Trooper Young George Lucas Reports:
Hey, folks. Young George Lucas reporting from the Kansas City area. I finally found the Boba/Jango and Darth Maul Unleashed figures. They are okay- but I still prefer the old "Epic Force" line of figures. I guess I like movie-realistic figures to the whole "artistic impression of characters" crap- the "ballet Darth Maul" is just not that imposing.
I also spotted 1 Palpatine and 1 Djas at my neighborhood Target- these two seem to be very scarce around here. Have a better one.

Trooper JeffRed5 Reports:
Hey Troopers, I just got the new Djas Puhr action figure. When I was at the store I met a fellow collector and we were discussing the new figure but, neither of us remember seeing him in the movie. I know he is supposed to be in "A New Hope" and I heard he is supposed to be in the cantina. So, I went home and reviewed my copy of the cantina scene in "A New Hope" and couldn't find him. So, I thought he might have been added to the Special Edition, but I can't find him there. Can anyone tell me where he is?

Trooper California Tim Reports:
12� Yellow and Red clone troopers are starting to trickle in, picked up one of each the other day at Tanforan KB. Colma TRU and Stonestown KB had a few of the Luke�s but no blood or bbq effect. Guess we�re vanilla here in SF. I still haven�t seen the Palpatine wave nor the Saga Han. Oh, oh, oh I did receive my Masters Replica of Luke�s ROTJ light saber today. It is sweet, comes with certificate of authenticity, inscribed plating with production number and the catalog they were handing out at C2. It�s pretty heavy too. Now I have to figure out where it�s going to go in the museum. Happy hunting everyone!

Just thought I'd add to the latest post on Trooper Corleone's Bloody wrist with magnet in stump. I too have this variation, however I believe mine is a charred version with magnet out of the arm/stump. It also has the magnet on the hand too, but the magnet is definately sticking out the charred stump. I've enclosed pics from my dollar special digital camera. Thanks for THE BEST SW site!

Trooper Lex-Wan reports
Man a good Chewy is hard to find. Hey to all! Today's report (Allentown, PA area) : KB's got more drop shipments in this week. Found that Wal-mart & KB today (6/27/02) all got in like 1 case of the Han, Chewy, Obi pilot wave, but it was the case assortment of 1 Han, 1 Chewy, & 2 Obi pilot & wouldn't you know it - I saw 3 Chewy's & all the cards were bent I'm sorry but I know a scalper crunch when I see it - man that sucked! The only fig that had that huge 3 inch long slanted crease was Chewy, the scalper must have been right handed. I thought I scared all the scalpers with force but I guess 1 got by! Anyway, saw a whole bunch of the Ackley today too smell you'all later - Lex-Wan

Trooper Count Hitch Reports:
I haven't seen a post on this yet, so I thought I'd mention it. I
checked both of my local Kmart stores (Spokane, WA) and found that the prices for the saga figures have finally dropped to $5.49 (down from $6.99). They also had several new figs, including Palpatine and Djas Phur, and the Endor Soldier wave. They also had the new Han, but no Chewie or Obi-Wan Pilot. The deluxe figs are still $10.99. They also had some 12" Jango Fetts left at $34.99. Looks like it's one more place to start looking for new figures!

Hey George, I've been a big fan of the site for about a year now and it has really helped me out in terms of knowing when to look for things and where. Anyway, I wondered if you could post something for me. I have 2 POTF-II Orange Card Stormtroopers, 1 Toys R Us exclusive Emperor Palpitine with Coin, and 1 Toys R Us C3PO with coin I would like to trade. (I've also got an extra Episode 1 Boss Nass, but I figure it is worthless). Things I'm looking for, Episode 1 - TC14, Sio Bibble, Swimming Jar Jar and POTJ Saesse Tin and Plo Kloon. Also in need of a Jorg Sacul and a Tie-Bomber.

Sandtrooper Darth-Dallas reports:
My buddy Mike is battling thyroid cancer at this time. He is in the hospital now (Wednesday-Friday, 26th-28th). He will be leaving Saturday morning the 29th. He is receiving treatment (swallowed a radioactive pill) and is alone in a room by himself and is not aloud to have any visitors. When a nurse comes in she can't stay more than ten minutes at a time and she must dress in a special suit. They come in every hour to check the radiation level in the room. So as you can see he is in a bad situation as we speak. I was wondering since he is a fellow Star Wars fan and collector if you could mention to the troops that if they have time they could send him an email of encouragement or talk Star Wars to him at milakauf@msn.com. All he has in his room is a TV, Lap-top and phone. He is hooked up to the internet and I am sure he would love to hear from them. I am only asking as a favor and I understand if you can't post anything but it would mean a lot. He is a good friend/co-worker and a father of 2 new future Star Wars fans.
Take Care!

Review of Rebel Stand now posted
Hey Troops, check out my latest review of Enemy Lines II: Rebel Stand by Aaron Allston over at the review page. This is book 11 out of 19 for the NJO, so believe it or not, the end is actually coming in sight. This is an excellent chapter in the story of the New Republic struggling versus annihilation at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong, totally organic invaders from another galaxy bent on destruction. The NJO keeps getting better as each successive author takes the reigns and really gives us a good tale to read. Check out my review here.

Hey folks. Young George Lucas reporting from Kansas City. The local Wally World received tons and tons of Luke and Vader Bespins and a few Obi-Wan Pilots and Endor Raid Han Solos. These new figures are awesome, but Hasbro is back to their old tricks of shipping new figures with old figures that everyone has and are clogging peg hooks. When are these people going to learn? Retailers won't re-order when they have bunches of figures that are not selling. Knock off this crap, and peg warmers will be a thing of the past!

Trooper Lex-Wan reports:
Hey to all! Lex-wan here with the reports for the Allentown PA area first is the unleashed figs seen them at KB & Kmart both places had crushed cards Iwas only able to pick up 1 Boba & Jango that was in good shape. The Wal-marts in this area all got in the first wave which includes 1 Han Endor 1 Clone trooper Darth Bespin Luke Bespin (no blood silver peg in hand) & a couple other peg warmers the KB's are all getting drop shipments of the 2 Obi pilot, 1 Chewy, & 1 Han Endor but please fear not about Chewy because the next case assortment will have 3 Obi pilot, 3 Chewy, & 3 Han Endor needles to say I have a good feeling that 1 of theses is going to be a peg warmer I'll let the masses guess which one. Oh yea I almost forgot the 2nd Han packaging variation the top of the inner blister is shorter by 3/4's of an inch an the other Han on the left an right top the inner blister comes out to meet the outer blister I should have a picture to post within a day or so. Anyway MTFBWY & have a great day. Lex-wan debalus@att.net
I want to say "thanks" to Lex-Wan for the recent help! You're a stand-up dude! - J.

Trooper Jedichirp Reports:
I just recieved from Dave Dorman the Jabba's Palace print that I bought from him at C2. This guy does wonderful work and hopefully will be able to continue doing his Star Wars artwork. I just thought that I would let everyone know that if you ordered anything at C2 from Mr. Dorman that it looks like he is now getting them out the door to us. He also did a small pencil drawing at the bottom along with his autograph. If you aren't familiar with his work then you should go check it out at his website (Davedorman.com). He has made some great prints over the years.
chad.mcdonald@IWCR.com
Jedichirp is right troops, Dave does some excellent Star Wars work. If you want something of his that's not listed on his website, email him, he might just have what you need. (That's how I got my print) Vaughn and I both have prints from Mr Dorman. He's highly recommended!

Trooper BOBB Reports:
Went to K-Mart last night around 9:30 and they had a case of figures on the pallet. I opened it and to my surprise I found a Han Endor Raid! There were 3 Bespin Lukes (no bloody), 2 Vaders, 2 Jangos, 2 Maces, 2 Clonetroopers, and 1 Han Endor. I also ordered the Disney figures a few days ago and when I called yesterday the operator told me that they would fill my order when they arrived in August.

Hi Troopers, Donna from So. Cal. here. Finally found the General Mills cereal with the 3 die-cast race car offer on the box at Target. You need to buy 3 boxes to get the 3-car set.

New Novel announced at the Official Site
Hey Troops, the Official Site announced a new novel by Troy Denning called Tatooine Ghost. The novel takes place between ROTJ and the original Timothy Zahn trilogy. This story gives us some confirmation of what was learned at C2. In a question and answer session, a panel of authors was asked if Luke and Leia would learn more about their parents and Troy Denning answered yes, but would give no details. Apparently, Leia is having doubts about having children because of the Skywalker legacy, but something she learns on Tatooine about her father changes her beliefs. I have to admit, the premise of this story has me a little concerned. Denning needs to really approach this story right, or it could end up being junk. Everything we have read in the Star Wars line is that Leia had problems accepting the fact that Darth Vader was her father and could never forgive him for what he did. Leia couldn't view their father the same way as Luke could, as Anakin Skywalker. She recongnized him as Darth Vader, not Anakin. All of a sudden are we going to learn that she softens her feelings in a book that takes place much earlier in the timeline? If not done properly, this book could really stick out like a sore thumb as far as story continuity goes. Let's hope it doesn't. Anyway, click here for more information including a tenative release date.

Troops after reading the post on rebelscum about the Star Tours Figures. I called concerning my order; I asked the person if they are taking orders for the Star Tours Figures and he said no. Then I told him that I had placed an order yesterday (06/23/02 Sunday) and that they had my address and credit card info and wanted to make sure the get rid of that info. Then he said if you placed a order yesterday and if they can fill your order than you will receive the items, but it is not garneted and as of today 06/24/02 Monday they received information that the Star Tours figure are no longer for sale over the phone. So if you placed any order yesterday good luck.

Trooper Jeffred5 Reports:
Hey Troopers, I just read, over at Rebel Scum, that all preorders for the Star Tours Action Figures taken over the past few days were not supposed to be taken. So, they are being canceled and you will be notified by mail or E-mail. The reason they were canceled is that the Star Tours Action Figures are only going to be sold at the parks not on-line or mail order Ect. I am posting this hoping that since Sandtroopers.Com seems to be growing bigger each day with new fans, and their motto is "United We Find" that since we cannot buy then any other way than going to the parks, it would be really great if every Trooper that goes to one of the parks that are selling them gets as many as he or she can for other Troopers who can't get there. Thanks and remember "United We Find".

Trooper Arnold Reports:
Hello Troops,
I just got back from FAO Shwartz here in NY where Steve Sansweet did an appearance. Many thanks to my good friend Jeannine for sharing her invite to this very exclusive (It was limited to 100 people) engagement. Also many thanks to her for trading a Jorge Sacul she waited hours in line at C2 to get for a Toy fair vader I waited hours ONline to get!
Steve Sansweet is an awesome one of a kind nice guy. He had a slideshow of his tremendous collection that he keeps in a building in California. Needless to say we were all ooohhing and ahhing over his treasures. He was then good enough to answer questions and sign autographs. The show was well guarded by a contingent of the 501st, and needless to say, everyone was on their best behavior!
FAO was taking Credit Card orders for the Imperial Shuttle, slated for a fall release. No one was sure about the price, but it seems to be going for $150 or so. The also have a nice set of Star Wars themed dolls. These are limited to a run of only 1000 and they consist of three child like dolls dressed as Han, Luke and Leia. The set is selling for $280 and they were also taking advance orders. Give them a call (1-800-876-7867)

Force of the Bay
Trooper Spiceowan here with a late report from the goodies section at E-bay. I'm sorry I didn't get this one out to you when it was up but this Vintage Tusken Raider is worth a peek. Do you have one ? Yeah me neither. I also ran into a slew of carded droids figures from the 80's . Check this, another gem from Cloud City. Hit the view other auctions by this seller to see the rest. Thinking of reaching out with your feelings to use the force ? Well grab your saber and this and see how you do. Do you think you are a tough guy because you got a Target Exclusive Skiff with Luke ? This skiff here will hurt your pocket worse than that Target version. Now I stumbled on this on accident but it appears that this is a flat out Empire Strikes Back authentic prop I almost fell outta my chair. No bidders yet so go on and bid on it all you " Big Roller" Troopers. That is it for now. Good luck out there Troopers, Kick A$% and take names.
Note that these items are not guaranted by E-Bay and most definately by us here at Sandtroopers... So please "Let the Buyer BEWARE"

Quik update from the Portland OR area. Not too much new. Deluxe Amanaman and Leias for 6.99 at most of the KBs (forget that 19.99 some places try to sell for), allthough still no sign of the exclusive red and yellow clone troopers. You can still find some of the inserts at Target, and the FX-7 wave at TRU for 4.99.
I have plenty to trade if any troopers need help finding the following: GW, BF, JF, ST, SBD, KF, and SBD with inserts. I'm looking for Jorg, Vader TF, Dexter w/ insert, and many more.
Also ever since the Sneak Preview EPII figs came out I've seen plenty of coverage of the Zam with 'vLucasfilm', but no mention of the corrected version without the 'v' which I've seen (and have one of). Does anyone have any info on this.

Reviews of Dooku, Yoda and Anakin (Hangar Duel)
Lord Spiceowan and I have been at it again with reviews of some of the stand-out figures released on April 23rd. Why does J. bust on Yoda? Did Hasbro throw us a bone with the basic Dooku character? Why does Lando want to steal Yoda's levitation device accessory? For a look back at the not-so-distant past and answers to these questions, take a look here. You can also view some of the other recent reviews such as the Wave 4 Saga figures (Endor Soldier, Bespin Luke et. al.) by going to our Review Section in the left margin, or click here.

Trooper California Tim Reports:
Went to one of my local Targets and found deluxe Anakin and more Nexus��.Nexi?....Nexou?.... Whatever! When I was checking out both rang up for $7.44, swweeeeeeet. Lots of peg warmers hanging out � Zam, Nikto, Jar-Jar (didn�t see that one coming), and a ton of Zuttons with a few Eeth�s in the mix. There were a few Luke�s as well but no blood or bbq wrist. I also found one ultimate Jango at KB but they wanted $50.00 for him. Ouch!! I�ll wait. Hey if you want to see a photo of the new Yoda deluxe check out Planet Action Figure, he�s about half way down the screen. After seeing this, my question for Hasbro is why couldn�t they release the super battle droid like the one they�re using for the Yoda deluxe. ?????? Other than what I found today it�s been dry. MTFBWY!

Trooper Matthew Reports:
First time writing in to you. I LOVE your site. Best site out there for SW. Variation collectors will love this. I do not know if you have already posted something about this. The tube that is attached to Han's belt is either in white or in gray. Found gray today at Wal-mart in Colorado. The entire piece is molded in either of the color so it does not appear to be a missed paint job. I have one set of the variation if anyone is interested to trade for them. Thanks, guys! MTFBWY!!

Trooper TK Reports:
I have an extra toy expo boba fett signed by Jeremy Bullock with his holo picture over the figure picture. It is on a green card and is in near mint condition (I never call anything mint since mint means so many different things to different indivuals), but there are no creases or dings and is in great condition.
I am wondering if there are any troopers out there who would be interested in doing a possible trade for the toy fair vader? maybe perhaps for the Jorg Sacul + more, but I am really wanting the vader.
I also picked up an extra AT-ST out there if anyone is in need of one. Box is in nice shape, has some shelf wear, but overall in excellent shape. Will sell for cost + tax + shipping

Star Wars in England
Hey Troopers. I managed to score some really cool stuff from England last week. My Father has a good friend over there and he sent all this to my Father to give to me. The magazine called "The Mail" over there has got some really cool stuff in it, lots of interviews with Natalie and Hayden plus pictures of some cut away vehicles and tons of full page color photos from the movie as well as behind the scene type stuff. He also sent me a Star Wars Episode II AOL CD that has some stuff on it to. I wish i could take more pics but Jay has his camera right now! Oh well. Enjoy the pics.

I couldn't agree more
Hey troops, I just read Trooper Darth-Dallas' report and I couldn't agree more with him about the abundance of information given out in the novel. One thing that really stuck out to me that I left out of my review was how much confusion everyone was experiencing trying to figure out what was going on! So if you had a headache trying to figure out why Jango was working both sides of the fence, don't worry, so did Obi-Wan! Read the book, you won't regret it.

Troopette Donna Reports
Hi Troopers, Donna from So. Cal. reporting in. Found Han, Chewie, and Obi-wan Pilot today at Wal-mart along with the Bespin wave. All the Lukes had the plastic peg and all the Jango Fetts had the bolt pointing upward. TRU and Target had nothing. Happy Hunting to all.

I just wanted to thank forum member Rocket_X for hooking me up with a Jorg Sacul. I cant thank him enough. I had never done a trade and thanks to Rocket_X, and santroopers.com, the elusive commander Sacul is in my collection now. To all you troopers out there that still need Sacul, dont give in to scalpers. Look to strike a deal in the forums. And if you have the chance to trade with Rocket_X, go for it. MTFBWY

Trooper Darth-Dallas Reports:
I found the Chewy wave today at the Target in Coral Springs, Florida and at the Lauderhill Super Target. The Obi Wan figure is nice! I actually bought one to open and must say it's pretty sharp. I wanted to comment on the AOTC novel. I read that baby before I went to see the movie back in April and must say it was awesome. There is just so much more to learn. You get a better insight into how Lucas wanted to tell the story. On film you have a limited amount of time to tell a story. I encourage all who really loved AOTC to read the novel. I promise you won't be disappointed. I know it will cut into your time to see AOTC again and again and you won't be able to brag to your friend who saw it 8 times but you will know the whole story and he won't. Sorry I had to vent! This site is the best. Thanks to the troops who hooked me up with the AOTC cards I was missing.
Take Care!
God Bless the USA & the Dallas Cowboys.

Hello Fellow troops, I was wondering if anyone can help me.My Wal-Mart's around here in north Alabama have not seen anything new.The latest figure assortment they keep getting is the Qui-gon wave.I have not seen the Bloody Luke bespin around here at all,much less the black faced cantina guy(who's name I can't pronounce).It sounds like most of the siting of this Luke is in California(big surprise)and up north. If any of you could help me out, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
