Well, talk about timing.

Over the last weekend, our "upstairs" TV (25" Sony, circa 1992) started "bleeding" red.  I could tell that the picture tube was getting worse, but now it is finally getting ugly.  Everything is pretty fuzzy and now the color reds "bleed/streak across the screen.   

The current plan is to take the old "new" TV (27" Magnavox) and move that one upstairs.  That way, the new "new" TV will go in the lower family room (where we do most of our TV/DVD watching).

After looking through the Sunday Ads, we were thinking of going HDTV or maybe widescreen, but haven't really ruled anything out yet.  I guess I'll take some of the recommendations as we head to Best Buy this week to start shopping/selection process for a new TV.

So...anyone want to trade a mint one for a non-mint one

PM sent 

My cases should be here tomorrow...  I am very excited to have those RotJ figures!

I should have some extras too once they arrive, so keep your eyes peeled on the Classified/trade section, I'll probably post a new list tomorrow night if you are still looking for Vader/Lando/Fett/Yoda...

Once again, the Yankee fans are like, "We're so great."   

You lost game 1.
You BARELY squeaked out game 2 (in extra innings).
You won game 3.
You rallied to win game 4 (again, in extra innings).

You got lucky to get by us, and you'll be EXTREMELY lucky to get by Boston the way they are playing right now.

I won't get into he payroll stuff as it's been hashed out over and over, but some teams only get 3mil a year for TV deals while others get 10x that much.  That's just the way it is.   

Go Red Sox!

She wasn't paid to half-ass that. Let her finish that job, and at her own expense.

Agreed.

Sure I'll have a few extras but I can get rid of them in time. Just fun opening them & looking for treasure! 

Unless they are carded.   

That will take a lot of the fun out of treasure hunting and opening up those blinded boxes... 

A good way to start the year...

U of MN 7, U of Calgary 2

Nice exhibition/Pre-season win to get warned up...

Take that, Canada!  Eh!

Bring on the Pioneers on Saturday!

I'm still trying to decide what I'm going to do...

1) Order a Full Box - Keep a set for me and then sell the other 6 figures to the local cronies.

2) Buy a set off eBay - maybe get a chase that way?

3) Buy a full set from a retail site - might pay more per figure than if I bought a case, but lesss than eBay full sets?
