Hey everyone.
Just got back from K-mart and let me tell you whatg happened. Its my uncles 40th birthday on Wednesday as me and my mum went to get a card. I took off and went to the Episode 2 section. I saw a Jar Jar gungan senetor and picked him up because I dont have him. So soon enough mum finds a card that she likes then we leave.
When I arrive home Iam about to put my Jar Jar gungan senator with the rest of my Episode 2 figures then something shocks me! It say "The Phantom Menace" just above his name. I think what the hell is going on? Shouldnt it say "Attack of the Clones"
Is this a HUGE variation or just a small stuf up?
Mod Note: I corrected the "birthday". Keep it clean guys:rolleyes:

I'd say it's a stuff up, I hope you've kept it in it's box, I've just looked at mine and it says Attack Of The Clones.

Ok, lets see what Jar Jar has to say.
I could get millions for it on ebay.

Definately sounds like a HUGE stuff-up to me.
I would personally sell it and get a proper version of it.
You could name your price on that one, variation hunters will be killing each other to get that one.
Sell It....NOW...

Geonosian, I'm not familiar with this variation either. Perhaps Thrawn has knowledge of it? He would be a good person to ask. :) Congrats on your variant. :)
Mod Note: Once again I fixed the "birthday":rolleyes:

Or you could do it the Real collector way and return it and just replace it with a regular one.
Very interesting error...

I'm not particularly sure how the inserts are printed, whether each panel is printed separately, or just a single set-piece.
But accidents happen all the time - somebody put Teemto's pictures in Ki's archive...must be worth more than the correct way. :rolleyes:

I am very skeptical of this. I would have to have the card in my hands to believe it. I could forge an image, if I wanted to, but why?
The cards and packing are mass produced. All printed the same. I find it very hard to believe that instead of printing Attack of the Clones, it prints The Phantom Menace. LKJfsaljasflkjadfs asfdljka flajkaf-0ikljr I would believe, but not The Phantom Menace.
pfffft. You probably bought a TPM figure instead, and didn't realize it. I wouldn't be suprised. :rolleyes:

If it was a Senator Jar-Jar, then it couldn't of been a TPM figure. ;)
It is a little unlikely that it truly does exist, but it could have been returned to the store by a joker who opened it, put The Phantom Menace on there, then resealed it.

I'm skeptical of that too, it may just be a POTJ figure, I would believe that more than a printing machine making an error.
Take it back and get one that isn't defective. Or maybe you can sell it to someone who collects defective figures.

As for the edit, I don't know, Someone has been doing that to me also. Gee I wonder Who?????? Did you say something bad or us the word GAY?

Did you put female dog day instead of birthday, like Caesar did? ;)
Get a digital camera. Take a picture. Upload the picture to your computer. Resize it in Paint (or email it to me ;)). Attach it in a post. :)
