Slow week

1 I have a different sort of question. I am a biochemist, and I was curious if George Lucas was making a link between the mitochondria of human cells and the mitichlorians of the Jedi cells. As stated in the movie, mitichlorians are in all living cells, they are a microscopic life form, and they form a symbiot circle without which they (lifeforme in the movie) could not live. This is just like the human mitochondria. they are microscopic lifeforms (possibly ancient bacteria) that have formed a symbiot circle with human cells (eukaryotic cells), and with out them lifeforms on the planet could not live because they make our energy (ATP). Anyway do you think that there is some sort of link? -Deon
Lucas stated in a few interviews that Midichlorians are more or less
derived from Mitochondria as far as the concept goes... save for the
magical universe-bending powers.
2 Is the chain aound the 3 3/4" Chewbacca as Boush's Bounty's neck removable? -Heather
Yes, but only once.
3 I read on some web page (it may have been rebelscum) about there being 3 Darth Sidious figures. I know of the one from May 3rd last year and Holo Sidious. What is the other one? -Rich
I only know of 2.

Apparently not. :) Some stores told people this because they assumed they would be getting goodies for the video release, and while some did, it would seem that those are a minority.
5 Hi Adam. I realize that Hasbro action figures are designed by American toy designers, but are they actually manufactured in China, Taiwan, or someplace like that, like so many other toys sold in the U.S.? Just curious... -Pjh123
That's about right, yeah.

First: no one, Hasbro included, has any idea when these will show up in your area. Due to slow shipping, and the fact that a lot of people just miss these things, it could show up pretty much whenever.
Why did the line slow down? Ummm... have you seen the clearance sales? :) Something's up.

Hasbro has never showed a complete year's offerings at Toy Fair for Star Wars, so yes, it's entirely possible we might see a new version of the Queen or one of her handmaidens (aside from Sabe). But remember, this means we could see ANYTHING-- the year's only four months old.

I have yet to see pictures of this set, so in all fairness, I can't say.

I have my doubts that most of this stuff will be in demand down the road, but then again, I'm sure I would have said the same thing in 1978 about ANH release.
Other then the "just keep 'em out of the light", there's not much I'd say.

Locally, POTF2 is so common carded that loose figures are roughly the same price as packaged stuff. Your average collector store may charge $15 for a POTF2 Fett MOMC, but $10 or $12 unpackaged because, well, the MOMC ones aren't that hard to get.
Right now, I'd go with "not likely." Since there's just so much of this stuff in attics waiting to fail to pay for someone's kid's college fund, it seems unlikely. In many toy lines-- "real" toy lines, might be a better word-- a box will make all the difference. But new Star Wars is probably going to be a notable exception.
