Front page has the NEW ATAT. It's over 24 inches high. Legs and head seem proportionate, but the body seems small compaired.

20 figes in teh body, 6 in the head!

WOOT!!!

Sithology_101 · Feb 5, 2010

yeah...that is very nice. I'm wish-listing at least two of them w/50 figures for next winter outdoor fun!
When is that due out??

Better save some of my tax refund .

The_LingSter · Feb 5, 2010

August. it's retail is going to be 100 bucks. so not too shabby. I can afford that. The baby can reuse some diapers that week.

Happy Birthday! Did you have as many drinks as Minis?

vlad1138 · Feb 9, 2010

So what is up with the Local WM and the AT-STs.. I saw one store had 20 of then at full price?!?!? 20! Others have 5 or less. Also I spotted 4 Large TIES still on the shelf in Irodequoit yesterday.

*___* · Feb 9, 2010

Happy belated Birthday, Scott

Smoba_Fett · Feb 9, 2010

I made the mistake of buying my first Marvel Universe figures today. Unfortunately, I want more now. AHHHHHHH!!!

How many did they have?

macross7 · Feb 11, 2010

1 that I saw. I didn't buy it.

Found the TRU exclusive TF Cybertronian Ratchet in Henrietta. Got the last one. No sign of Arcee.

Warsaw_Wonder · Feb 12, 2010

I posted three mock-ups of some SW figures from the last few years on a vintage cardbacks in the Legacy section (Dan, I used some of your figure archive photos).
I think Toy Fair is going to make us wish our wallets were Crazy-Glued shut.
Maybe these "fresh" re-hashes will excite you! Scum Forums Vintage wish

Sithology_101 · Feb 12, 2010

Now that is pretty nice......

Seeing my A on cardback....now that's just super sweeeet!!

oh...Hasbro will do this...oh...yes they will.

Sithology_101 · Feb 12, 2010

Not sure who still needs what....but....7v has an ESB Snowtrooper that was just returned.

I saw your work, and it is wonderful. It's too bad Hasbro won't get it exactly like you've done. I also like your "Star Wars" only banner. Without the Kenner logo, it will feel close but not a homerun. Still, this will be quite exciting I think. Too bad they didn't keep that style all along.

Only toys that have been "Fun Tested" are a homerun.

Hasbro can keep their Force Battlers and Transformers.

Nice improvement on Aurra Sing...and the AT-AT.

Lepuscarnivorus · Feb 13, 2010

Happy February 14th, Scott.

2t has an Ice Cream man on their pegs.
Never thought that figure would peg warm.

And Willrow's ice cream buisness was ruined due to his pegwarming causing product melting!!

Sithology_101 · Feb 16, 2010

Picked up (at 2t) Zuckuss and the Rem Slug - in a Blockbuster pack(!?) w/Biker Scout.

Nothing remains.

**yes...the red suit/skull guy is an opener!!

macross7 · Feb 17, 2010

Picked up TF Human ALliance Barricade tonight at 0C

Sithology_101 · Feb 18, 2010

My dad informed me that ~someone~ from Rochester is selling a #1 Batman comic for around $300,000........

macross7 · Feb 18, 2010

It was in Tuesdays or yesterday's paper.

CaptainAlex · Feb 18, 2010

Batman Comic

Smoba_Fett · Feb 19, 2010

Star Wars Lego minis are starting to appear in the Easter section in Target. The X-Wing is pretty nice.

vlad1138 · Feb 19, 2010
