Kids do love big wheels. Just cross your fingers and watch retail. (Oh yeah, and if you see any people who have misappropriated the ship, warn the store manager.) I’m very serious about this ship and the AT-TE selling well at retail. If you find someone who has done harm to them, just point, and I’ll kick some butt. (I have a friend in the airline industry. I can fly cheap. Don’t even think about pulling a switch-out on it!) Not you, Kevin, others. You know what I mean. Er… bedtime.

They’re using an ANH Leia for an ESB scene on the cardback! Stoopid Hasblow!No really, this is awesome. Compared to the crazy prices people pay for Sideshow/Medicom figures/dioramas and the like, $150 for this doesn’t bother me. I hope I can still get a decent amount selling my POTF2 Falcon on Ebay), as it just became a big waste of space. Even though I know it wouldn’t be anywhere near to-scale, I’d love to see a Turbo Tank/Juggernaut if these succeed. Kids love big wheels, right?

One of the key things that people need to know is that Hasbro hasn't been dishonest. They may have not been very forthcoming, but I would guess they have their reasons. When people talk about plans and leaks, etc. I'm just laughing. This isn't a paying gig, so it's there because it's COOL, and I know I was sure happy to see it.

Seeing the overall positive reception for this piece is great because I've nagged for larger pieces and stranger pieces. If this piece sells (and the AT-TE -- don't forget that Clone junkies!) I firmly believe that it will tear down a wall that will lead to bigger things.

July can't come soon enough now.

This is one of those turning points for us, ya know? Who’da thunk we’d ever see something like this? I could easily do $300 standing on my head for a couple of these…

Yes, that’s me, Chuck. (Don’t think I’ve forgotten.) You’re the reason I have Wedge V. 1.0 from the carrying case. That Pony is evil, I tell you.

"MSRP is $150. If parents will spend crazy money on a fake pony, they’ll buy the alleged vehicle. "

Hey, that’s what I said! BTW, are you the Adam that used to live in Orlando, FL? If so, you bought some stuff from me yeeeeeeeears ago.
