Clone Wars Completion

Well despite the fact that this figure once again constitutes skipping a wave of figures (I haven't even seen any of wave 8 yet and this figure is wave 9) I was still excited to get this figure because back when the Clone Wars cartoon aired on Cartoon Network they did a vote to see which alien species the fans would like to see animated in as a jedi. There was an Ithorian, a Talz, and a Shistavanen. The Shistavanen won and was animated as this character here Voolvif Monn. However the other two species were animated later in the cartoon as Roron Corrob and Foul Moudama, and those figures were made already so this figure now completes the Clone Wars Jedi figures.

Caught up and up to date.

Well now I am caught up and up to date with the waves of TAC figures. This here is wave 7 McQ Han Solo that Billy picked up for me.
Here we have the last of wave 7 I needed it is an ewok 2 pk with Romba and Graak. Cute little fuzzems.

The order that was made for one minimate!

So Shopafx.com ran a promotion that if you spent over 25$ in their holiday store you got an exclusive minimate that you will see at the end of this post. So the following things are things that I wanted so I could qualify for that minimates (we also ordered JD a BSG wave 2 set to help us get the qualifying amount) here we have teh Chubby Darth Vader nesting doll set. These are great high quality little collectibles I love em and can't wait for the Leia set in wave 2.
In the holiday store they were clearancing the exclusive player 2 2pack of Chun Li and M Bison for 2$ so I got that, I already have the Chun Li though so this is the new figure from that package.
Then we have this Buffy the Vampire Slayer PALZ halloween exclusive set and since I already have Oz and this figure comes with a Xander and was only 6$ I added this to the shopping bag.
All of that just so that I could get this exclusive Web Armor Spiderman that was originally slated for the Target exclusive wave that got cancelled so this is a great exclusive to add to my colleciton.

BSG just in time for a shave!

Well with this Saturday being the BSG Razor special wave 3 of BSG minimates showed up just in time for that shave! Here we have Lt. Helo and the variant CHief Galen Tyrol which will stay in its package just like the other variants for BSG.
Here we have Lt. Helo and Deck Chief Tryol, I love the orange jumpsuit!
Here we have CAG (commander of air group) Kara Thrace and Commander Lee Adama.
Last we have the CYLONS with #3 D'Anna Biers and #8 Sharon Valerii. Frakin Awesome.

Communication from Starfleet captain!

Praise the minimate gods as now Star Trek The Original Series wave 2 showed up in the mail today. Here we have battle damaged Kirk and Gorn.
Adding a new bridge crew member we now have Uhura and then dress unifrom Spock.
Finishing up the bridge crew we have Chekov and Sulu.
This here is the variant for this wave we have Swashbuckling Sulu and as you can see he also came with a Chekov but he is a duplicate so you can see how sad he is back there knowing he is just going to go in my bag of extra mates:(

F I N A L L Y FINALLY

So yesterday I go into TRU and WHAT IS THIS! I find that they have some of wave 7 TAC on the shelf! As I was still missing four figs from wave 5 this made me mad although I was happy to find one of the wave 7 figs I wanted and this here is Tcho Celchu A-wing pilot and also later member of Rogue Squadron and married to Winter (if you don't know what that is then read up on your Star Wars gawrsh).
Today though I went back to TRU with the fam beause my bro Ben and Family sent Xander a 20$ gift certificate for his b-day. Xander picked out some movie transformers (bonecrusher and dreadwing) but man oh man and I am glad that we went today because lo and behold they had a butload of ALL of wave 5 so I wa able to get the rest of the figures of wave 5 so now I am up to date on all the figs I want. Here we have wave 5 McQ figure which is Starkiller Hero which was an early concept for Luke.
Then we have Hermi Odle which is a character from Jabba's palace and a figure that I figure should have been made a long time ago but better late than never!
Next we have a couple of Sith from the expanded universe. This fig is Darth Revan who the package says is the fan's choice figure from the Toyfare poll which is partially true. The actuall fan's choice was Quinlan Vos but since Hasbro was already planning a figure of him (which i got not to long ago in the comic two pack) they did the number 2 fig which is this one.
Then we have Darth Malak who was Revan's apprentice and had his jaw cut off by a lightsaber by Revan. So this is also good because it keeps me home the rest of the day. If I hadn't found these this morning I would probably still be out scouring stores looking for them since today is my day off.
