LUCAS WANTS YOUR MONEY

And yet ANOTHER line of Star Wars figures. Good grief, guys... enoughs enough already!! Here's a figure from the new "30th Anniversary Collection"; Galactic Marine.. First, WTF? "Galactic Marine?" Was that approved? Shouldn't it be "Snow CloneTrooper" or something atleast? This sounds like a generic SW figure you'd find at the Dollar Store.

The other figures in Wave 1 are Mace Windu, Go-Go Gadget R2, Obi-Wan and Mustafar Lava Miner. Hmmm, 30th year yet all the figures are from Episode III which is just over a year old. Nah, I don't think so... if you're marketing and selling a line of figures celebratings its 30th year, then have the line be the ORIGINAL movie characters. Bah! Anyway, here's the packaging of new toys I will not be buying.

nice.
I love you, too.

Look the joke was it looks like the generic ripoff toys, usually saying on the packaging "made in mexico", you often see at the Dollar store. But to say "the dollar store in Mexico" doesn't make sense since the peso is the currency.

It was not a stab at mexico, mr sensitive.

Apologies if I offended you, but to say "Rape your mother" is a bit extreme, don't you think?

But just for you, I changed it.
Hugs!

The R2 figure is about the stupidest thing I have ever seen.

GREED is the Darkside folks I say it again....and Lucas appears to be eatin up with it.

He, They, who ever, is starting to make me sick with this money grubbin crap. Well the original three movies still rule...thank god he can't go back in time and F-them up. Try as he might!!

like wise Mr smash, not all the times we say "chinga tu madre" in México is in a hatefull manner, we mostly say it like a in a "tender kind of way", you konw how complicated language can be

I konw you were joking, and I really did noy mean it in a unrespectfull way. Really, besides theres enough bad blood between our countries (you konw for the wall subjet) to be getting mad between us bloggers.

I know that this toys look cheap, and they are only a way to get star wars fans money. But I hope this time they make a cool Mace Windu figure ´cause i dont have one ha ha ha

So, sorry if you get my coment as a insult.

Be cool
