Also, I doubt they will announce anything until Master Replicas is completely sold out of everything from their warehouses.


MR has sold all the SW stuff they can.  As of midnight their time was up.  I do not see it an issue to announce before than.  Apparently LFL didn't think to authorize the ad. 
Thanks!

I tagged this for a mod to merge.  I didn't see the other thread.
I do not have the key to success but I know how to pick the lock.

That is something VERY intriguing!

Watch this carefully, for it could mean GREAT things for those who wish to have the stuff that MR couldn't produce!

*Silently wishes for Qui-Gon and Dooku..*

Me too...and a Obi TPM/AOTC...yes this is very interesting indeed *crosses fingers*

LOL It's okay guys. ;)

I was joking. Everyone's excited about this! The Original thread over at rebelscum went to nine pages in 2 days! :o

A very interesting subject indeed!

Okay the topic is back in it's original home.

I accidentally moved it to the wrong section while merging the topics, sorry Wedge.

Check the Rebel Scum thread for that answer Vader, THere was a LOT of stuff posted there regarding that very question...

I think it it very well may be. ;)

I have a little theory about it, but I don't want to share it in public just yet...  :-X

To me, it would be a wise decision.  Bryan and Amy were the major ear piece and mouth piece for Master Replicas.  They saw the company NOT listening to what the customers wanted.  They have always been the major supporters for the Star Wars products.

Just makes good business synergy to me.   :D

Yes, and there has been chatter around the water cooler that this may very well be the case.

It would be great to have the future of the license in such good hands that are and understand fans of SW specifically...instead of a general-interest 'toy car' maker like Corgi [well thats what they made when I was kid lol] that didnt seem to care much about SW.

Not to 'diss' Corgi completely...I have their recent 24kt James Bond Aston Martin "Goldfinger" DB5 & "Die Another Day" Vanquish anniversary double set and it is GORGEOUS imo but if they had put the same kind of thought into SW sabers as they did into Bond cars maybe we'd have had a great Dooku and Qui Gon and Obi TPM FX sabers coming out this year...

Oh wait...maybe we still will... ??? *crosses fingers and hopes...*

They still make the Toy cars and collectible cars. I have a few Corgi Batmobiles, and one BTTF DeLorean from them that I bought a couple of years ago when I worked at the Toy Store.

They also made a couple cool Star Trek Items that I wanted to pick up, but never did.


I'm really looking forward to seeing what this EFX is all about. Sir Tristan knows something but isn't telling underpenalty of Gundark attack... so his lips are sealed, but he did state that Lucas has something BIG up his sleeve to reveal at SDCC preview time...
