The ice bridge pieces were included - I was shocked to see that price.  Getting the droid parts with a minty 3-leg R2 for $5 was a nice grab too - I was thinking about paying way more for a few I've been watching on Evilbay.  You can find some cheap deals on open belly taun tauns if you're patient, but I don't recall having seen that wide belt saddle before.

Outside of Ford, do you really think the younger versions were all that talented in the first place?  I can't even watch the "You're not my father" or "I wanted to go into Toshi Station" lines without chuckling a little.  I'm not worried about the older actors losing their mojo because I don't think they had much mojo to begin with.  Everyone mostly places the part straight outside of Han and Yoda, so if they can just deliver their lines I think they'll be fine. 

Star Wars has always been more about the visuals and the story with a lot less focus on the acting (I'm looking at you Hayden and Natalie).  I'll be happy if we can just get a good story and a believable hand off to the next generation.  Some improved acting from the younger characters would be icing on the cake.

A bunch of my coworkers saw it over the weekend and were just raving about it.  I wonder if its appealing to the masses, but maybe less so to those of us that have already built up a history with the character via the comics?  I'm more anxious to see it even more now given people seem to either love it or hate it.

I'm pretty happy with the Packers getting not one, but two incredible RB prospects.  Green Bay's running game has been a weakness forever, so the thought of a decent ground attack paired with Rodgers & company is pretty damn exciting.  Go Pack Go!

Hit up the annual vintage toy show at the Minnesota State Fair Ground today.  I've never been there before, so it was definitely an eye opening experience for me.  A lot of dealers didn't have high ticket items priced, and every price was negotiable if you were friendly and bought a couple of items.  Don't ever go to a toy show or flea market and pay the sticker price is the lesson I learned today.

Here's a picture or what I came home with for just under $200.

Lot #1 - these were already well priced, but I got them all for $100 (initial individual prices below)
 - Blue TIE Fighter $15
 - TIE Interceptor  $35
 - Open Belly Taun Taun with wide-strap Saddle $10
 - ROTJ Carded Luke X-Wing $40
 - Large Hood Jawa & Blaster $10

Lot #2 - this group was a steal at $15.  I picked up the Attack Base for $10 and he actually offered to throw in his only other two Star Wars for $15 total
 - Imperial Attack Base $10
 - Droid Factory Parts $5 (Incomplete, but lots of pegs & a complete 3-leg R2!)
 - Die Cast Vader's TIE-Fighter $3

Lot #3 - Three Lego polybag sets for the kids (2 Lego Friends, 1 Lego Chima @$3 each).  I picked up a $7 Jawa and asked if she would sell it for $5 if I bought the legos.  Done deal.

Lot #4 - I went back to the first guy and nabbed a few more items for $60
 - Dagobah Playset complete except the foam.  I have a nice one, but needed the R2-Drum accessory and he wouldn't break up the set.  $30
 - Vader's TIE (Minty, working) $40
He offered me a $5 credit for the Die Cast Vader TIE, but I decided to keep it.  Not a bad haul.

This is still the fictional Star Wars universe, right?  Who says people can't have kids at 40, 50, or 60 in George's galaxy?  Hell, we don't even know the average life span for anyone outside of Yoda.

Just got back from it. I enjoyed it, not sure why so many people were so unhappy with it. In some ways I much preferred it over Iron Man 2. I can't imagine anyone else playing Iron Man other than RDJr, hopefully he is back for Avengers 2.

I think he is signed for A2.  More likely he wants a break from more IM movies for a while.

I saw the Fetts at a local comic shop.  Tempting, but not at their price tag.

How much were they asking out of curiousity?

Tough to say - mine still looks like this...

I don't know, those mini MOTU figures are pretty great.

The big torso with little leg figures?  Ish.

I'm in for this unless even though the price is ridiculous.  I'm a sucker for Fett stuff.

Fixed.

That's a great price for the B-Wing, but I was hoping for a better deal on the rest of the stuff.  I suppose 10% off plus VIP points plus Hoth Han is still a pretty good deal, but still not sure if I'll pull the trigger on this one.  Any advantage to going in store versus buying online?
