(Just trying to keep up with RollaFett on post :nahnah:)

[RollaFett]

Why, have I been posting a lot today? ;)

You know what I'm thinking, though, Doze. How about you start up a merchandising/toy thread or something so all that type of news can go in one place?

[Doze]

Ya, see you just want to combined my post so you can get a head of me. :superhappy:

(Thats a good idea... working)

Captain Rex Delayed
Did you try to get the sneak peak Captain Rex? Well you will have to wait a little longer.
"Dear Clone Wars Figure Requestor:
We have received your redemption request for the Clone Wars 2008 Captain Rex collectable figure. Due to an unanticipated production delay, we will be unable to ship the figure(s) to you until the last week of July, 2008. If you don't want to wait until then, you may cancel your order and receive a prompt refund by calling our toll-free customer service number, (800) 327-8264. Customer service hours are M-TH 8:30am-5:30am; Fr 8:30am-12:30pm. If we do not hear from you by July 1, 2008, we assume that you have agreed to this shipment delay. Please DO NOT call the toll-free number unless you want to cancel your order. We thank you for your patience and apologize for the delay."
It won't be much of a sneak peak it the movie ends up making it out before the figure. Let's hope there aren't any more delays.

The Clone Wars Trading Cards
Topps will have The Clone Wars trading card set in stores July 26th 2008. Featured Artist Kevin Graham will be doing 250 of The Clone Wars Sketch Cards and some will be chosen for the set. Some will be his animation cells and the rest will be directly on the cards. Although it’s a cartoon, he will be drawing some characters a bit like they were used in the regular movies. I am sure these cards will be fantastic and I have provided an example card of his work. Be sure to pick up that Clone Wars set!

^ Funky!

There's something odd about that Happy Meals illustration: It says "The Clone Wars", but at least 1/3 of those things appear to be from the Original Trilogy.

[RollaFett]

Yeah, that is indeed weird.

More like 9.... which is half. Way to lump things together, Mickey D's. :doh:

^Why does Yoda look like he's just been given a super-atomic dark side wedgie?

anyone going to a midnight opening of Toys R Us tonight?

the one near me has a life size x-wing with a heap o storm troopers so a mate n me are rocking up with light sabres to cause a little mahem :devil:

[RollaFett]

Well, I won't be. Strange, I really hadn't thought this flick had generated enough interest to justify a midnight opening for toys. Maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway, here's a link with some details: http://www.toysrus.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=2274249

As for me overall, my toy buying kinda' fizzled out during ROTS. Maybe I'll get some more down the line once me and Mrs. Rollafett get a house and I have some place to display my collection.

I was thinking about going along, but I don't really have any money and I just preordered all the Clone War and Force Unleashed books, so I thought if I went I'd just spend money I don't have.

Well, I won't be. Strange, I really hadn't thought this flick had generated enough interest to justify a midnight opening for toys. Maybe I'm wrong.

I was a tad surprised that there were midnight openings here, when there has been (as far as I am aware) no advertising other than trailers in cinemas. But I think despite the apparent apathy from some long term fans, there is still a majority that are very much looking forward to this whole new chapter. I hope that once the film gets good reviews that many more fans will be enticed!

We got Captain Rex in the mail today! Camishere sent away for him with some proofs of purchase or something and $5.99. It did not come with the mini figure.

[empire21]

My toy collecting days are done. :(

[Blizzard]

^Why for?

[empire21]

It's not fun for me anymore. Plus the prequel era is really boring and when they release OT figures it's the same characters with different poses.

I still have all my old toys to enjoy.

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Prequel era, boring? You dunce. :lol: :whip:

No, I said really boring.

I must admit, I hate the toys! The re-branded Clone Wars Legacy collection is much better.

So are mine. I've never been much of a collector anyway.

*Checks wallet*

No, I'm definitely not a collector... :P
