I'd buy the action figures, but being 19, it would just feel kind of creepy.

And that is why you fail.

Hey, I'm 30. and I have over 600 individual figs, not including ep 3. My wife is cool with it so I'm fine with that!

I have no idea how hasbro says teh vader is the 500th figure. Full of shit and don't know their own products!!

I finally got around to getting the visual dictionary today. I looked for the cereal you all mentioned, but couldn't find any. Can someone tell me where they found it? I got the Episode 2 cereal and would like to add the Episode 3 with it.

I have Aayla.

I headed on over to my local TRU and it wasn't too hectic. The basic figures that went fast were Aayla, Grievous, Sidious, Mace and the Clones. I got myself the Anakin and Obi-Wan Unleashed, the LEGO Darth Vader Transformation set, a lightsaber but not the $20 ones, and some basic figures: Anakin, Obi-Wan, Darth Vader and a stupid R2 that doesnt even fit into Anakin's Jedi Starfighter!!! AHHH!!! Tomorrow I'm gonna head on over to Wal-Mart and pick up the TP Game and some more figures like Aayla, Grievous, and some Clones. Also gonna pick up the Novel and prob order the Hardcover Comic book from SWShop.com

Ive yet to see these aswell
And is there a list of all figures in this Wave
and when is next Wave due out?

Yay! Picked up 3 Red Guards, 4 Senate Guards, Tarful, Mon Mothma, Bail, Threepio and Preggie Pads today.

A week or two after Feb 2's preview debut I got two Grievous figs, a Tion Medon and a Anakin Fighter.

I haven't seen these anywhere at all.

RW

All I've got so far is four-lightsaber Grievous and Emperor Palpatine. Grievous because he's just cool-looking. Palpatine because I regrettably set my original one on fire when I was 10. This Palpatine is better than I expected; the face isn't so fat as feared, and I didn't realize until opening it that the entire hood comes off.

The TRU I went to had a good selection of figures, including the deluxe stuff (i.e. X "becomes" Y) but no vehicles.

Oooh...Mas Amedda. I will keep my eyes on the prowl....

Mas Amedda and Clone Commander look kickarse, but im yet to find either of them

I just found these:

3 Clone Commander #33
3 Clone Pilot #34
1 Palpatine #35
1 General Grievous (Exploding) #36
1 Vader's Medical Droid #37
1 AT-TE Tank Gunner #38
1 Polis Massan #39
1 Mas Amedda #40

The interesting thing was that I didn't see but 1 Gunner, but 3 of the other clones!

I was just gonna say ebay for me as well in regards to the Clone (more like Arc) Commander and AT-TE Pilot.

I felt lucky picking up the last two Grievous Unleashed and last two Vader w/ bling bling chain at Target.

Saga Chess Set

Getting figures has been fairly easy to be honest...I just wonder if they are going to overstock this Episode like Episode 1 or limit them like some of the Clone Wars figures (which are fucking hard to get).

Don't get me started on clone wars figures

At which store did you find these ?
I have only seen > 32 @ Walmart, but have
NEVER seen 37-40 (or 23: RED).

Try Target they get a shipment of star wars figures at least 3 times a week

I've only got Kmart and Kaybees in my town. I haven't gone star wars shopping yet. Which is my best bet?

I found the 2nd wave at Wal-Mart. The nicer Wal-Mart in town put out that wave, the crappier ones have nothing but wave 1.

Here's what I have so far...

I've been on about 8 toy runs so far.

Obi Wan with that stupid kicking action that makes it so he can't stand.

Anakin with the mascara eyes.

Sidious. Awesome Figure

Shaak Ti

General Greivous. Another cool figure.

Agen Kolar (what the hell, a green lightsaber?) with awesome robe.

Unleashed Obi Wan with the bitch-to-attach-lava.

Aayla Secura. by far my favorite out of the series, awesome base aswell.


:Random Thoughts:

- Mace Windu looks like they used a "generic bald guy" sculpt, but at least he isn't crying this time.
- Shit Fisto is absolutely terrible.
- Why was Yoda packaged with a "crotch-grab" pose?
- Why are Chancellor Palpatines packaged with a blue lightsaber?
- People seeing a shortage of Clone Troopers? On my first run, that's damn near all they had
- Target puts Darth Vader figures up by the register, ask the cashier if they aren't hung up.
- Aayla Secura was easily the hardest to find on my "to find" list.
- Luminara Unduli came in second, but I like the AOTC one better.
- Plo Koon is relatively unchanged.
- No Cin Drallig? Damn you.

Luminara is the shittiest figure I have seen...she looks horrible. The AotC figure was SOOO much better.

I'm gonna go with Kit Fisto as the shittiest this wave.

Another gripe, I hate cloth garments for 4 inch action figure, gimme the fake looking plastic robes instead. The cloth cape is the only reason I didn't get a vader.

Can anyone get Dooku to actually hold his lightsaber? He was like my favorite figure just because you can remove his hands and head, but goddamn he can't hold the thing for shit!

arthritis does that 2 you

Kit Fisto is shocking...

As for the Lego Star Destroyer...your friend is a lucky bastard. I have the Star Destroyer and it looks fucking fantastic when built - but man, does it take a while.

I actually like Kit Fisto

But god does Agen Kolar piss me off

The only gripe I have with Kola was getting his robe and arm back on while trying to keep his lightsaber in his hand. When he's not broken he's awesome though.

As far as Fisto goes, I was expecting alot more, especially after the incredible AOTC Fisto.

Stopped at Walmart by chance at 9:30 last night.
Found:
Polis Massan (39)
Mas Amedda (40)
3 Red Royal Guards (23)


From what I have read, > 32 will be showing up more often in the newer case assortments. For example, 37, 38, 39 & 40 were shipped only 1 per every 6 or so cases.... they will start appearing at least once in every case the closer we get to May.

Like others here have wisely said, they will be the peg warmers and trampled figures in the race to get 41 - 56.

Update:

I just got the new deluxe "Build" Darth Vader on the operating table. It's pretty cool. I also got the General Grievous/cup pack and Clone/cup pack from Target. Then after that I went to another store that was selling Master Replicas force fx sabers. So I got the Darth Vader one.

A pretty good nerd with debit card day:

2 Mas Amedda basic figs (Wal-Mart...looks like #33-40 starting to show up!!!)
1 Polis Massan basic (WM)
2 GG Clone Wars animated figs (Kmart)
1 Vader Unleashed on CLEARANCE at Wmart for $9 bucks
1 Farmboy Luke OTC 12" on clearance for $13.50 (Kmart) for my 3yr old to play with so she will leave the 12" ROTS figs alone
Good selection of Vader t-shirts for the aforementioned small person (K and Wmarts). Too bad I have to make my own to get anything that is kick ass for adults.

Now...if Wal-Mart would stop hiring Warren from "Something About Mary" to run a fucking cash register, maybe I could even make my purchases and get out of the God Damned store before I have to change my damn 12 month calendar! :mfyd:

I am holding off buying many figures this time around. I really dont need ANOTHER R2...

blah i keep getting these figures and all i really want are troopers and red guards, but i ended up buying more than what i intitally planned to buy which was like 4 jedi then wait for the nice articulated red leader obi wan, or at least, that's what i'm hoping he is. and then the evolutions set of aotc/rots-anakin/vader has a really sweet looking ani. so i want that too. suposedly out july this year.

Why is there a Yellow and Green Anakin Starfighter?

he uses a green one after his yellow one gets dinged up when it gets crashed.... crashed good. in the screenplay it says something about anakin's GREEN FIGHTER. i think it was uppercase and italicised too.

Interesting, i havent read that anywhere as of yet

The new Vader looks weird. Is it "based" on the Ep3 one? I'm assuming so. They should have made the pose when he bursts out of the shackles in the "birth" room.

The vader unleashed based off EMPIRE STRIKES BACK looks waaay better than that one. BOOO

Today I picked up:

Senator Meena Tills

Senator Ask Aak

Palpatine (#35)

Neimoidian Guard



Gotta say there were lots of Clone Pilots and Commanders etc.
