They dropped the ball on the Crystal Skeletons from the IJ line, too.  But almost every Star Wars mailaway in recent memory seems to have been well managed.

Get off the cross Adam.   We need the wood for the fire.

Scored the Droid Factory 2-packs this morning.  And it looks like Corran Horn might be the pick of the set.  Because I only found one Corran Horn set, but multiples of every other set.

The next generation moon missions may be in jeorpardy.  The reason why?  Budget cuts.

EE is having a sale this weekend, so I finally decided to buy the Ecliptic Evader TIE Fighter and the Joker Squad multipack.  Not bad for $67 shipped.

ZOMG!!!!!  Watching Brett Favre warm up for tonight's game wearing a Vikings uni.  Very, very strange to see.

This ship (and the Clone Wars Y-Wing) is much more attractive at Target's $64.99 price point than Toys R Us's $79.99 price.  I know that TRU is trying to survive, but they can't do that by trying to price gouge by as much as $15.  If they don't wise up, they're going to wind up with tons of deluxe vehicle overstock.  And this leaves me to wonder where WalMart might price the Deluxe Vehicle assortment.

$59.99.

Actually, I saw a planogram for the upcoming WalMart toy section reset.  The price point for the Deluxe Vehicles on that document was $64.98.

I think that if Hasbro decides to pull the trigger, we'll probably get a new Dash Rendar with Leebo in a SOTE comic 2-pack.

I for one would really like to see some of the other Jedi and Sith in this set.  Kento Marek for one.  Kazdan Paratus.  And Darth Desolus.  Is it likely?  Apparently Hasbro thinks that Jedi go over well with kids, so maybe it'll happen.

That would be...

Kyle Katarn & Yuuzhan Vong
Darth Krayt & Sigel Dare
Luke Skywalker & Lumiya


I haven't heard anything about the WalMart exclusive sets myself.

In the mental aspect of the game, Favre is as good if not better than almost every other QB in the league.  But can he hold up physically?  He admitted himself that his shoulder was messed up and that's what led to his season with the Jets being such a fiasco.  Is the shoulder 100%?  Probably not.  But then he's a 40 year old in a league where the average age is down in the mid 20's.  And I could see pass rushers trying to hit him on his right side in order to affect the passing game.

And he seems to think that he fits much better with the Vikings offense than he did with the Jets.  He said on Joe Buck's show that he could basically teach that offense because he knows it so well.  Is that going to mean wins?  We'll see.  I'm not sure about the rest of the NFC North.  

My true passion lies with the Giants.  But the receiving corps is a big question mark.  There are no real standout receivers.  Could that make Eli Manning take more of a Brady-esque approach, and spread the ball around a lot more?  I hope so.  The Pats offense is designed to make defenses spread out and cover everyone.  And thankfully the Giants pass rush is still alive and well.  Too bad I missed the game last night, though.

I agree with you too, Matt.  Hunting is worlds apart from what Michael Vick did to those dogs.

Hmmm.  I wonder if Pons Limbic will wind up in some discount stores?  I could use some more cantina tables!

Eagles sign Michael Vick

Vick, Eagles Agree to Two Year Deal

HA! Stupid Eagles.

They deserve each other.  Low class franchise with lower class fans signs lowest class ex-con/dog fighter/overhyped player.

I met Les on a few occassions. My father was friends with him and the singer in his trio. I even visited his house, and saw his original recording studio, the "octopus" multitrack recording machine and a new studio that he was planning. And more recently I had spent time hanging with Les's son.

So this is sad news on a personal front. It's something that I always knew would happen eventually, but it's sad nonetheless. Les loved to perform. The last time I saw him play live, he was still having a ball. He loved to play, and damn could he still play! Plus, he loved to talk with the audience between songs and was a genuinely funny guy.

Thank you for changing the way we hear music, Les!

And how about Obi-Wan's Force Ghost on Hoth?
