Star Wars Wave 1 2008

It is a rare day, in my limited experience, when RebelScum.com has not updated their detailed figure listings before that same item is added to the Preserve. Well, it appears that providence has smiled upon my backwoods town, because while not the entire first wave of 2008 was discovered, a good chunk of it was. Sadly my continued revulsion of the three new movies caused me to leave both the Obi Wan and Anakin Vader on the shelves in this, the Revenge of the Sith wave, but I did not overcome the urge to pick up two excellent droids and an alien. Those classes get special immunity from any boycot, I will always insist - of course, since that will usually make up 60% or more of any Star Wars line, there is really no escape. What is also amusing to me is that Hasbro, who is collectively 'no dummy', has realized the runaway success of their 30th anniversary Star Wars collection in the same way as that of their 25th Anniversary GI Joe collection, and both are continuing for their second years. Funny stuff, mathematically. Here then, is a nice group shot of the three figures from this new wave of Star Wars figures. Click the image for a higher res view.


Detailed views will be up soon! After some thought on the matter, it seems that the local WalMart may well need to provide the Preserve with those two additional figures from this first wave, since they still seem to be scarce!
