Bah! Missed it by 1 post!

Pirates of the Caribbean Secrets of the Deep Tai Huang - since there'd be the occasional asian guy among pirate crews in the old pirate movies, I figured I'd pick this preview figure up. The figure is alright, the sculpt isn't that accurate to the actor but is pretty decent none the less. The softer plastic for the head and limbs made for a removable head and some worrying moments as the arm joints nearly gave way, but ultimately it came out fine. The sword is too rubbery but fits well in his belt, the other side of the belt is open for the pistol but it's odd because of how open it is. The figure holds his accessories well, and isn't too overly-posed. Grade: B

I finally got the Endor Luke. Found him at the same grocery store that had the White Endor soldier. His knees look like they should bend, but I can't seem to get them to do it. I don't want to force it and break it. Anyone else have this problem?

Yes, go over to galactic hunter (but just for a minute and then hurry back), they addressed this question in their Q&A this week. (They also have their figure of the day article and they looked at this Luke a few days ago.) The knee joint is a little too tight and you have to work it back and forth a bit to loosen it. You could also dip it in hot water before you try to bend it the first time also. Just be careful, I had the same problem with the arm on a sandtrooper from the evolutions pack and ended up snapping it in 2.

As for hauls, so far this month I've bought a comic 2-pack with vader and the trooper, a gallon of milk, and some cereal.

I picked up the Lego Sail Barge, TIE Interceptor, and Batcave sets from Wal-Mart and Target yesterday. Both places were nearly cleaned out. I was hoping one or the other would have the stuff on sale, but they didn't. I was also really hoping to find the Lego ISD. But nobody seems to have that one in stock, including S@H and Amazon.

Master Replicas ROTS Vader Lightsaber Scaled Replica - $10 at Frys, I figured "what the heck". Honestly though, like most of the ROTS saber designs this saber design is uninspired so MR could only do so much. There's nothing here really worth mentioning good or bad. Grade: C+

They "fixed" the knees from the first version of the figure, which had the opposite problem. They're a little stiff but shouldn't be too bad after you get them moving.
