Topic: Episode 55: SDCC/CE2 with the Collector Cantian Boys and The Spectre!

[Tamer]

This ought to make for a fun episode tonight live at 8:30PM Eastern. We are going to be joined by Dan Kosa aka The Spectre who is well known here at the Yards and we are also going to be joined by the boys from

to shoot the proverbial bull over all the new items we saw from SDCC and now what hints we have seen so far from Celebration Europe. I am gonna start working on the slideshow now, but if you have anything you would like us to talk about or a question about any of the new items this is the place. That or show up live and stump us on air!

Show outline for Episode 55!

Intro by Chad:

ISY Announcements:

1. Please vote for your favorite for the Ultimate Action Figure Build Off.
Highlight a few of the entries (like Chad’s great ARC)

2. Remco is gonna interview Star Construx Dioramas in the Hasbro Display
Area at CE2 and I just can’t wait to see how this one was made:


3. We were a pat of JTA’s Digested Look at the Vintage Collection which
was a review of the lastest vintage line up including quite a few
different fan sites and even the hasbro folks like Derryl Depriest. I want
to thank the fine folks at JTA for having ISY on to review a few of these.
If you haven’t read it yet I will include the link in our show notes.

4. There is a pretty cool Indiegogo Project happening right now that I was
alerted to via one Yr1977. They have created some pretty cool three and
three quarter display dioramas (Death Star and Tantive IV Panels) that
will connnect together to make full displays. They are creating them for
both the modern and vintage lines. The need for a campaign is to purchase
a 3D Printer and material to make the first run. The prices seem very
reasonable to me. Check it out. We can only hope to see this succeed and
get them to make even more environments.

5. There is some CE2 merchandize you can purchase by going to ReedPOP.
They don’t have everything, but you can buy a few items from the comfort
of your living room.
Welcome to the Collectors Cantina Boys: This might be a good place for
Jorge and Michael to tell us how they got started a bit. We can still do
contact information when we sign off.

SDCC/CE2 News Items to talk about

1. What do you guys think of the rumor of J.J. Abrams not being very happy
with the UK as a filming spot, to the point we saw rumors of him quiting
this week?

2. Star Wars Hasbro Panel (we can talk about what few figures they showed us)
https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.549108195126084.1073741837.234428276594079&type=3

How bout the Droid Set exclusive to amazon?

And we just have to talk about this news:

http://www.jedinews.co.uk/news/news.aspx?newsID=12774

6 inch reveals:
I am seriously crushing on this one!
I would also love to know after seeing all the six inch figures preview so
far which one is your favorite of the lot from Wave 1 or 2 and now 3?

How about the three and three quarter waves one and two and now three?

3. SDCC Boba Fett with Han in Carbonite (did anyone get one?)
Anyone hear any rumors regarding this offering? How many of you staked out
the Toy Shop this week? Reaction to the Ebay Prices?
http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5575055288&toolid=10001&campid=5337372365&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sadis%3D200%26_ipg%3D50%26LH_SALE_CURRENCY%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_samihi%3D%26_samilow%3D%26_fpos%3D%26_udhi%3D%26_oexkw%3D%26_udlo%3D%26_adv%3D1%26_dmd%3D1%26LH_Complete%3D1%26_okw%3D%26_fsct%3D%26_nkw%3DSDCC%2BBlack%2BBoba%2BFett%26_sop%3D16

I also heard today from RS that the Han in Carbonite is going to be
released down the road again and Derryl already said the single Boba
coming in a few months will have to same exact deco as the SDCC one so I
guess we are all just paying for the packaging.

4. Reaction to them spending more than half the time talking about SW
Angry Birds? Anyone want to talk about any of the Telepods?

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.548153191888251.1073741836.234428276594079&type=3

5. Does anyone want to talk about any of the news we saw on the JOE or
Marvel Front? Chad this one will be your baby.

 I did hear that there are
gonna be new three and three quarter DC Figs with supposedly over 18
points of articulation.
