The Sarge hooked me up!
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, September 25 2008
I just got a box in the mail last week and low and behold take a peek at what was in it. As everyone knows the Tamer loves his walkers and boy did our Reconsgt do a great job on these. I can't thank him enough for taking the time to do this for me. I can't wait to add these to my Hoth diorama I am planning in the near future.

Star Wars Inisder Issue 104 hits shelves
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, September 23 2008
I got my latest issue of Star Wars Insider and it had all kinds of goodies in it about the Force Unleashed, the new TV Clone Wars episodes, and the 21st anniversary of Star Tours. They also rated the top ten quotes from the films and while I don't want to give it away, a certain scoundrel we all know wins top quote. They also previewed a versus between Ackbar and Thrawn, but I can't find the page of who wins! Post your comments about this issue in our forums.
Clone Wars Wave 2 Spotted!
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, September 19 2008
I didn't find all of Clone Wars Wave Two, but I did come home with the Clone Pilot and the Super Battle Droid from this wave last night. I went out looking for the Wal-Mart Exclusive Force Unleashed 3-packs and didn't find them, but this was a nice find. It might be time to go hit up your local Wal-Mart! See bigger pictures of my finds in our lastest purchases thread.

Legends of the Saga Legacy Battlepack
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, September 7 2008
Doing a little EE surfing and noticed this just newly added to the website offering. This is the listing from EE;
"This set brings you not only this highly skilled Jedi (Obi-wan), but also Darth Maul, Boba Fett, Darth Vader, and even Luke Skywalker. Each 3 3/4-inch action figure comes in this nifty white Legacy Collection window box that is sure to excite the collector in you! (Well, it excites us. The blue background brings out Luke's eyes.)"
I am not so sure about Luke's eyes, but if you like this set, it is only $22 smackers!

Cartoon network gives us a Clone Wars Game!
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, September 5 2008
I was just doing some regular surfing and came across this neat Cartoon Network Clone Wars site. I played the first level and found it pretty fun. The game allows you to pilot the "Fierce Twilight" through a couple of levels and gives you bonuses that increase your firepower and lives. It also looks like they will have other material available later down the line. It is worth a look!
