 This new GM figure is coming out with Mace Windu in an "Order 66" Target-exclusive two-pack. Word is that this new two-pack will be on the shelves just as soon as the new 30th anniversary waves hit the shelves, but I'm gonna start making daily runs to Target just to be sure. Rebelscum.com writeup.Starwars.com writeup.So boys, it looks like we got two figures coming out! I rather like this new color scheme, but the color scheme for the 53rd will remain consistant with that of the on-screen GMs. By the way, this GM figure has purple accents on him. I initially thought they were black, but they are purple to go with Mace Windu's obsession with the color purple. |

Ok, now it's time for me to TOTALLY FREAK OUT.
I HAVE TO HAVE GM FIGURES! NOOOOOW!!!!
Standing orders: (read "Standing request:")
I must have in the very least 5 of the basic maroon GM figures. This new figure is on my wish list now as well, but will not be repainted to be included in the 5 GM figures I require. It is likely that the new waves will not give us many GMs to buy for ourselves (hint hint SCALPERS dirty scumbags), so I'm putting out a request to my fellow forumites to pick up a GM for me if you find one. I will pay you for it, including necessary shipping, plus an additional dollar or two for a finder's fee. These are my holy grail. Like I said, I want at least 5. I will be posting my progress on my search for GM figures as I buy them, so watch for updates, in case I end up with my 5 on my own. Here's why I need 5:
1) Mod for Captain Ferin
2) Mod for L-T
3) One to keep in package
4) Extra grunt
5) Extra grunt
Any more than 5 will be eagerly accepted if you wish to help me out, but they will also be kept in the packages.

Been examing the picture of the Galactic Marine and Mace Windu's attack battlion and the colours and markings are similar.Maybe iam wrong drawing this conclusion but i think the phase two bucket and armour in the later is what the galactic marines wear in dry Climates and urban attacks and the other types of armour are Cold climate ones, with the armour shown today like there 1st colours which changed with the clone wars.

I would say that it's a matter of Hasbro assuming that every clone trooper packaged with Mace Windu must now contain some form of purple coloring.
I plan on scouring the shelves for the "regular" gm's. I will post up for everyone what I can find.

I would say that it's a matter of Hasbro assuming that every clone trooper packaged with Mace Windu must now contain some form of purple coloring. I'm pretty sure it's a combination of that and the fact that Sam Jackson told Lucas he wanted a purple lightsaber, so it would then follow that his stuff would be purple (his starfighter and droid are purple). I think it's just LFL and Hasbro maximixing on that. |

WOW the white one looks Fetchen AUSOME!!!! I think I will be picking myself up 1 or 2 of these. I will see what I can do to help out anyone (especially you glacticmarine###) on getting extras. I'm in an area that will either not have them or they will have so much that no one will buy them. Either Way I will be getting a couple.
