without a doubt Bob...

I'll be but floors away since I booked when you told me to so I didn't lose out on a good room.  I'll be there whenever I can, though my gf's going (as of right now) so we'll be spending the evenings out on the town as much as we can too.

I've already got a chunk earning a whopping 2% (less actually) in the bank (haha, sad rate huh?) in a 6 month certificate that I'll cash right before the trip.  Things are looking like fun.

I'll be there in an official capacity for JediDefender of course, and possibly my other little site I work with some, so I'll have my responsibilities there too, but drinking's one of my top priorities. 

That's a good point Bob that they're forgotten but incredible in detail.  The cannon was actually the one that lowers on the Droid ControL Ship and fires on the Republic Transport that brought Obi and QGJ there if I'm not mistaken.

They were both quite cool little items, and overlooked.

I gotta tell my bro about Suncoast finds...  We've not seen much of anything new at WM or anywhere else lately and I really do keep my eyes open for this stuff.  Last wave I've seen is the one with the prologue elf, Elrond, Bezerker Uruk Hai...  That's about it.  Never saw the Shelob figure or any of those...  Some repacks is about all, though repacks my brother needed nonetheless.

AAT was my favorite, but the E1 line didn't yield a lot of vehicles I was impressed with.  The Flash speeder could've been really great actually, but it unfortunately was way underscaled.  They should've done better there.

The AAT was reasonably to-scale I think...  A little off.  There's a model that actually was to-scale I believe, ironically.  The Naboo Fighter could've been real great IMO...  I'd have loved to seen it done better.  I think it's one of the few designs in E1 that hold up tot he other films. 

Blue Harvester?  I believe this is a friend of mine from the local collecting circuit in Pittsburgh, so if it is you Dave, welcome to the JD forums!  It's good to see ya wander over... 

If not, welcome anyway.

Just wanted a post to let you guys know about the sale...

$3.88 basic figures
$14.99 electronic sabers
& 15% off all SW toys...

Not bad if your Target's like mine...  One near me just got Bespin Wave in, and others have OTC figures out the whazzoo including some army builders like the TIE Pilot or figs like the Jawas and such.

My Target's have also gotten the ROTJ VOTC waves in, so hopefully they'll get more in...  VOTC for 15% off just makes those figures that much MORE perfect.

The list goes on...

At least Yoda's "new", unique...  Sorta "plain" looking especially without the poncho.

EU figures rock if you ask me.  They can be the future of the line if they're created properly.  However, I don't drool at the site of the basic CW line overall...  It did produce great figures like Deluxe Durge, SA Clone, Assajj Ventriss, Pilot Sae Sae Tinn, Swimming Kit Fisto, etc...  Obi's not bad either.

Anakin and Yoda are "eh", and I'd actually place Anakin as worse than Yoda if it were me...  But that's my opinion.

And basically you guys suck too...  There's always that factor.

I too have ROTJ VOTC purchases under my belt this week...  Today actually, I snagged VOTC Stormie and Fett.  The paint on the Stormie is sloppy, which is funny given everything, and I don't like the holster...  It's "ok" but sort of a half-assed attempt.

Beyond that, Fett's neck is odd...  He's still, hands down, the best Fett ever.  The right custom work and you could have a great removable helmet one that looks flawless to boot.

Irregardless, Target's the place to be, and they're awesome figures so be there.

I got a 2nd Vader too...  May grab more because, while not perfect, he's damn close and I think I can really finegal a nicely done custom out of him...

Great stuff!
