Just got the AOTC Sneak Preview R3-T7, so where is this guy seen in the movie? Thanks.
Wow! Good eye Brenn! to my Coruscant display he goes then. Thanks!
I'ealwaysused him inanyramdom scene. I believe he's in Echo Base at the moment.
Anyway, I gave a ton of figures to a kid I know, from POTF to (mostly) Saga. He's quite pleased.

I actually started collecting SW action figures during this line. At the time when these were released, there were still tons of Ep1 figures out and POTJ figures as well on clearance from local TRU, and I swiped them all up at about 3 bucks a piece. Man, I was in collecting heaven. I have a great appreciateion for this series of figures. And I recently completed this set of figures from all 3 series'.
Thanks Saga 02-04!

You know, I've always assumed he was one of the Astromechs from the Coruscant landing platform assassination attempt scene.
Which means, "R3-T7 IS ALIVE!!!"
P.S.: I can't take my eyes of that little Rodian ever since someone on TFN had pointed out how seemingly lonesome he walks off into the alley.
:'(
I always thought that as well.
I just picked up a loose Chancellor Palpatine today for $3. It's salt shaker-y, to be sure, but the sculpt isn't a bad look at all for ten years ago and I like the look of the robes (oh, and the steepled/folded hands are a nice touch). All-in-all, I'm pretty happy.
I'm sure this is probably OLD NEWS..... or maybe no one really noticed before or cared. Has anone else noticed that the Biker Scout packed in the Endor Victory set is assembled backwards at the waist/groin area?? If you look at THIS photo, you can see it clearly.

The figure on the RIGHT is the pack in. I remember sending a couple figures to Hasbro, for replacement. Of course the didn't have Biker Scouts, so I think I got a Snowtrooper and an AT AT driver or something in return.

How are everyones Ephant Mon cards holding up? I looked at one of mine the other day and the card back is litteraly splitting in two. I thing the figure weighs to much for the card and if not stored properly begins to seperate.

Mine was holding up well but opened him up about a month ago.
I think the humidity level of the region you live in might have an effect on that. Since moisture dissolves cardboard, the more humid climates will cause cardboard to break down faster, especially under lots of stress.
I opened my Ephant Mon when I first got him back in 2002. I've always toyed around with the idea of buying another one to keep carded, but it's just one of the worst Star Wars card designs ever made, so it's hard to get excited about buying a second figure.
I have a loose Toy Fair Vader and the paint is rather tacky. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
I considered this may be a custom but he has the blue cape/skirt and the metallic red paint.
If this is a real TF Vader, is there anything that can be done about the tackiness?

Greetings everyone: I lost the rulebook for the Geonosis Battle Arena bonus roleplaying game (Rebelscum.com shows all the parts here: Rebelscum.com: Photo Archive). It's no longer made and I'm hoping someone might have a scanned copy of it so I can play it with my children. I spent hours searching the house and online. I simply cannot find it anywhere! :\ Can you help? I do have the Advanced guide and would be willing to share it if you need it. Thanks.
Kinda cool to learn something new about AOTC. Thanks for that tidbit, Lt. Brenn!
I can't believe you opened your Vader.Was the light saber broken above the bubble? I 've heard that most of them were damaged in shipping to the convention and had to be glued back together. If it has a small crack in it then it was one of the damaged ones,but it's still a pretty tough piece to find.I have a loose Toy Fair Vader and the paint is rather tacky.

He never said that he opened it. Even if he did, what's wrong it? Maybe he is a loose collector like me and many others here
There's nothing wrong with opening figures,I mean they're toys and should be played with.Collecting is a hobby and done for the fun of it,not a business.I know some people do some cool dio's with loose figures.I personally like to keep my collection carded,because after 20 of the same Luke,I can't tell which line he came from.And after re-reading the post,yes there was no mention of opening the Vader.I just have only heard of 1 person actually opening a ToyFair Vader,not saying that SidDarth opened theirs.So,sorry to SidDarth and any other openers out there in the community.
Does anyone know if the hilt of this Qui-gon Jinn metallic or plastic?
I think by then it was plastic.
The paper insert only came with the first batch of figures that were made, I wouldn't say it's worth anything these days.

I'm new to the forum but have been collecting for awhile. I recently found a 12 inch Han Solo from the Saga collection (2003) in a Lando Calrissian Skiff Guard box. I haven't been able to find anything about this. Anyone know anything?

I didn't see a thread...in the 52 pages...for just MOMAW NADON. But I found mine today while cleaning out old crates for donation fodder:
I remember when I got him I bought him for the Cantina pieces, but was really disappointed in him. I really prefer the original Hammerhead. Anyone else feel the same?

#starwars hammerheads by SacredKnightOfTomorrow, on FlickrJust got Princess Leia - Imperial Captive, a long overdue purchase, based on the POTF2 figure, and it's incredibly rubbery. I'm constantly afraid of breaking it. Are all issues like this or just the 2002 SAGA version?
@SacredKnight: That's the only version of Nadon I have and I've only recently found the interest to consider buying the other ones... it's definitely the most boring version. Looks like he's in a swimsuit lol

I gotta say, Ephont Mon is really cool looking...... btw do the 12 inch figures like the 12 Kaybee Gammie fit in this thread?
Why has the Saga forums been locked? Cant make a new thread?
So, I was organizing some things, and pulled out Pilot Obi-Wan, and noticed that he had some black staining on him. I thought it might've just been the robe rubbing on the figure, but, then I noticed, his magnet was gone. Considering he's been in a coffin case, it's not like it would've been lost, but, no magnet in there, and the black stuff came off like dust as well. Is it a common thing for the magnets on these figures to disintegrate, or did I have some kind of weird fluke occurrence on a figure?
I've also noticed deteriorated magnets, not completely disintegrated mind you, but metal dust around the location of the deteriorated magnet.
I know I had at least one figure where the magnet deteriorated completely but wasn't overly bothered since I have a better version in the collection since.
What are the chances that Hasbro will re-introduce/reissue the Acklay, Reek and/or Nexu?
On second thought, just glanced at the going prices on Ebay. I had no idea these were going for so little.
how hard is it to find the hatch to the 2002 tie bomber? i just found one cheap but its missing the cockpit cover and i want to know before i buy it
Sorry to necro post. I just got a Saga Camp Ambush Tusken raider. His base looks like it clips to a second base, but the figure he interacts with is Anakin who didn't come with one. Anyone know if this base is supposed to have another part, or adjacent figure?
To my knowledge, there is no other base to be attached to the one coming with the Tusken Raider. The SAGA line had a number of small diorama parts that were never really put to use in larger environments (Padmé's Naboo scenery, Darth Vader's Bespin accessory, Luke Skywalker's DSII Throne room part). The only real example of various accessories interacting together was the Geonosis Arena, that you could complete with Yoda's accessory, Padmé Amidala's factory rolls, the DX Yoda vs Super Battle Droid base, the DX Super Battle Droid assembly line, DX C-3PO assembly line, Wat Tambor's console, the Geonosian pod, Jedi Warriors multipack with containment field, and both both Cinema Scenes of the Separatist War Room (Part 1 and Part 2). Add in a number of figures of main heroes, Jedi, Geonosian warriors, battle droids, clones, the Gunship and the arena beasts, and you could build a very fun diorama across the SAGA line (and further lines).
Some accessory bases were also included in the RotS line, with various type of scenery (volcanic, forest, ship hall,...), but they didn't connect in any conclusive way.

I believe they were all designed to connect to another piece, but in many cases, were never utilized because the second half wasn't developed. In 2004 they phased out the diorama bases for the boring charcoal colored stands, save for Hoth Luke, which was the finale of sorts for those bases in Saga:

Later in OTC they did some great Dagobah bases, but then the other figures received the generic stands. It wasn't until ROTS that the diorama bases were brought back for all figures, but they reused them so often, that they really weren't scene specific anymore. It was a very creative run though, I actually miss those type of accessories - Saga especially gave us some amazing bases for diorama building.
