Oh, that Slave I actually looks okay. Paint job is pretty bland, but it'd make a great base to make your own Firespray class security ship.

SDCC was pretty bland on all fronts, it was like Hasbro phoned it in this year.  Some say it was better than last year but I actually feel it wasn't.  SW had some impressive stuff to show this year was just meh.  Granted Marvel and Joe were about the same as last year.

Zed, I totally agree with you on the Hasbro and general AF Line Front. By the way, I just put up on the front page a video that Yodasnews did with Derryl about potential future releases that was better than all of their presentation if you ask me.

I am actually pretty excited on the higher end collecting licensees who all showed some great products. I am really on the fence about that new eFX Stormy Armor. It looks awesome and then there is the GG Kenner stuff and the Sideshow 12 inch Hoth Stuff.

for me the highlight was Sideshow the clones looked awesome especially Echo and Fives but the bit that had me jumping was the Hoth section that Hoth Luke ! oh man that head sculpt is awesome! the Han was sublime and the Vader was fantastic ! and the Mission series and the Saga Deadends have turned up in my Tesco  and man do they look cheap i bought the R4-P17 mainly cos i collect astro's and talk about socket fodder ! feels cheap and the paint apps are awful....

I saw the Mission Series and Saga at a toy store in the mall the other day. With the exception of the clones, they looked terrible. I didn't buy any because the store wanted $14.99 for the single figure, $21.99 for the Mission Series.

Be patient,

The Black Line is showing up on ebay

That means brick and mortar will see them very soon. Matter of fact I saw a report that they are hitting in CA just this morning.

I am also starting to see some realistic prices show up for

Non Star Wars SDCC Exclusives on Ebay

with these auctions by Hunter Knight Customs.

Well I went out to run an errand today and missed it. From what I understand it was up for about five minutes (I have seen higher and lower estimates) before selling out. I guess I used up all my luck on the Carbon Freeze Set last year. Here is the Hasbro Toy Shop Link as they may offer a few more up for sale (I have seen em do this before):

and for those will to go to ebay there are about 141 still up for grabs:

Ebay SDCC Black Boba Fett with Han in Carbonite Links

And if you are going to use ebay I would definitely check out the:

Completed Listings for SDCC Fetts and Hans that have already sold

so you can make an informed purchase. I don't condone the price gouging, but I can also understand the completist in me that wants to go just buy one of these now and have done with it. Good luck Yarders, I am feeling pretty frustrated right now. Oh well, you can't let one bad experience ruin your entire hobby!

[Rune Haako]

That sucks man, I hope you can eventually get it for a good price.

Did you get one Rune?

[Rune Haako]

No, I'm waiting for the one in the basic line.

I also don't have a credit card.

Anyone know about what time these came up for sale?  Does Hasbro tend to put these up at the same time or do they put these up at random?

These came up for sale around 4PM. I have never seen them list SDCC Items that late. I have never seen them stick to a set time either.
