Saga '02-'04 / Re: New Figs totally destroyed
« on: April 4, 2003, 11:15 PM »
Interesting to hear this. I got a bunch of stuff from Scott that was ok, but not mint. No biggee, I'll open them all anyway (except maybe Boba).
But... I have trades with a couple of guys from the McFarlane board (perhaps the most anal group with respect to package condition) and everyone has asked if damaged cards are ok in trade. Little bends, dings, scratches, nothing major but it seems like everywhere it is tough to find stuff.
Locally I picked up a fig for a guy in Japan and I'll be sending him pics before I send the fig, just to be sure.
Odd.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: What screen resolution and monitor size are you on?
« on: April 4, 2003, 10:58 PM »
Must be an old guy thing. Small screen, low res.
Same as you Matt.
New 'puter in the fall. Hoping DVD burner prices are sufficiently down by then. Still running the 333 MHz (w. 584 MB ram). It works fine, for now, though it was pretty funny to see my wife cursing the machine given that she has a 1.8 G laptop. Still, my home machine is faster than the one at work. 54 months without defragmenting and counting. Welcome to the government.

I have two credit cards. One for my real life and one that is used for paypal and online purchases only. The latter has a $1000 balance and instructions that it is to go no higher. Ever. Limits my liability and the shock value too.
I am very sorry this happened to you. I have had "irregular" charges on my card previously. I don't know what it is like where you are, but in Canada the onus is on the retailer to provide proof of purchase by that user. Of course, if all charges are online, that could make it tough. If they were regular fraudulent charges, the sig should tell the story right off.
Good luck.

Watto's Junk Yard / Have you ever been stalked?
« on: April 3, 2003, 11:48 PM »
Well, have you?
You go somewhere and you always see the same person. It may or may not be someone you know or are slightly familiar with. They are ALWAYS there.
I had a girlfriend in high school and after we broke up, including after high school, she was just always where I was. It was downright spooky. (FTR she broke up with me). But highschool was a long time ago.
More recently though, I seem to have found a new "friend". Where I am, they are never far behind. Maybe even there before me. Worse than previously though, I know this person and have had dealings with them. Now, whatever I do or so, they follow along right behind like a lovesick puppy dog. It's gone from spooky to downright creepy. This person has other people watching me, rat's me out when I do something wrong. I really don't know what to do? Can you help.
Ah, never mind, I'm just messing with JediMac. Stay away from those Canadian threads you big weirdo

I'm sorry Depmode, I'm old and didn't understand a word you said 
Just ask Matt, he'll tell ya
Sorry fellas, only one sticker left. Jeez, I even had to open my lowly US carded one so I could see what Luke looked like under there. Nice figure, it is. If I find more, I'll let ya know.
But that would have to be one very big box of cereal. Now, as for Matt's wife....
BTW, anyone need cubes? I still have some left. Waaaaaay too much raisin bran last summer. Talk about load time.

toypalace (Germany) is the place for these. Prices are quasi reasonable but shipping is a tad scary for North America.
Vaders helmet display
I didn't find the other display, though they had it before, or the figs themselves. Cool stuff.

I think Bob and Dale are both working. Night Owls.
Presumably those are the kids you speak of. Junior.
