Herald Report

Sorry the report's pretty thin this week. I've been a little preoccupied with ... well ... some DJB stuff, some RL

stuff. It's been a long near-sleepless week for me. As for the report I feel I had to make the effort.

  • Site Reconstruction

Nothing new to report.

  • Grant Of Arms Requests These are still on hold - as in don't request them.

  • Custom Lightsabers

Nothing new to report.

Spoiler Alert

This link has been floating around the good old #DB

channel this week. It's a site that'll show you images - yes actual pictures - of the progression of Episode III.

Some are scans from magazines, others look like stills from the trailer, and a few could just be very well done

edits. Anyhow if you don't mind seeing how the last act in the prequel trilogy is going to play out, give it a

look.

Toys, Again.

Look people - I know you're probably getting sick of hearing about EIII toys. Trust me, if there was anything

better out there I'd tell you about it. My wife actually told me about this one: Check out [this

link](http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/eo/20050224/en_industry_eo/15982) for a report on the 2005 Toy Fair... or just some of it read below. Look for things in green highlighting topics that I've reported to you all in the last few weeks!

Among the highlights in Hasbro's top-secret show-and-tell room: new laser-scanned action figures based on Sith

characters like Obi-Wan, Count Dooku and the heretofore unknown General Grievous; the Mustafar Final Duel Play set

where Anakin and Obi-Wan have their climactic confrontation; Sith assault vehicles; Battle Arenas; vibrating

electronic light sabers; a Darth Vader Voice Changer; a Call Upon Yoda--a Jedi update of the Magic 8 Ball that

dispenses the wisdom of the Force; and the AttackTix Battle Figure Game, in which kids

pit up to 35 collectible figures against one another and "crash-and-bash" with the winner the last one standing.

Hasbro is also unleashing a slew of Star Wars-based crossovers with some of its most famous properties, including a

DVD-based Star Wars Trivial Pursuit; Star Wars Monopoly; a Star Wars Clone Wars edition of Risk; and, in perhaps

the oddest bit of synergy, Darth Tater--a Mr. Potato Head who (gasp!) has turned to

the Dark Side, complete with light saber, cape and helmet.

Hasbro plans to unleash its Star Wars line of collectibles on Apr. 2--the same day Mattel rolls out its Batman

Begins merchandise.

Republic Commando Coming Soon

I know the OHC already posted this info, but I don't care. It needs to get out there.

REPUBLIC COMMANDO HITS STORES

US: WEDNESDAY; EUROPE: THURSDAY.

I preordered mine and can't wait. With any luck it'll be like when I preordered the LOTR:SE's and I'll get it on

the day it's released (Tuesday).

Work's nearly dead. I'm trying to stretch an hour's worth of work to occupy a week's amount of time. Good news is I

got a call for an interview working as an advertising assistant. Best part to me is that it pays about 75% more

than I'm making now.

I've been spending my days planning out DJB stuff, other RL projects, and shooting the crap on the DJB Forums. Some

of you may have noticed I have an average daily postcount of about 4, and those are almost always from work. Bad

thing is I'm not the only person to use that computer. I have to share it with about 4 other people at any given

time. Luckily no one seems to care.

BFV has been placed on my crap list. The server I loved to play on has been overrun with morons. The game is no

longer enjoyable, but unlike all the other games I've stopped playing it's because people ruined my enjoyment of

the game. I've been playing KOTOR 2 like a crackhead, It's all I really play now...

Thanks for bringing this stuff to our attention "officially" (as we knew some of it from before, but not 'officially' :P). Props to Kaine :)
