Never came across this set myself and refuse to pay the secondary market costs for it.  Since the Maul from this set is getting re-released on a Saga card in the near future, I'm hoping Hasbro will be equally as gracious and slap the corresponding Vader in as a Saga rehash sometime down the line as well.  It's definitely one of the better Vader sculpts from the pictures I've seen, and is worthy of finding it's way into many more collections than it has to date.  Here's to hoping!  Please prove me right Hasbro!

Since he's barely hit yet on the Saga card, but has been kicking around over seas for quite a while, I can understand many people's concern - especially the carded collectors.

But you're right BB, I think by the time the CW line rolls in, he should be pretty easy to find.  Not to mention he'll be included in that droid 3-pack as well.  Just silly that Hasbro's drawing the process out SO long.  No idea what their hold up has been with this figure.  No excuse really.  Let's see him, the movie's a year old already!

Hey Todd, welcome to the party!  Seems like a great place to call home here, so I'm glad you've joined us.  Looks like you brought along a few friends too...  Cool!    Enjoy, and I'll see you onboard!

Great place!

Indeed!  I wholeheartedly agree!  Friendliest place around to talk Star Wars and everything else.  Glad to have you here to join in on the fun Lando!  

Welcome to the greatest show on earth Jadesfire!  This is a great place to hang your hat.  I'm sure you'll enjoy it here.  I sure do!  

I guess I would say that I was Obi-Wan Kenobi when I was a kid, because I was always trying to do Jedi mindtricks on people, along with various other cool Jedi things.  Too bad they never really worked.  

But I'm still trying.  Hopefully some day my skills are fine-tuned enough with all the practice that something "Jedi" actually happens!  

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. Horrors!

Ah, yes.  Oh how I loved the taste of the water straight outta the hose!  Whether I was washing the car, watering the lawn, running the ol Slip'N'Slide...  Nothing like hose water to quench your thirst on a warm sunny day.  MMMmmm, good!  Still enjoy putting some back nowadays, though I'm more than a little concerned healthwise when I do so.  My how things change when we grow older!  

The rest of those topics are spot-on as well!

Note from JediMAC:  I merged Brian's (TopJedi's) similar thread onto the end here, so fast forward to page 2 for the newer replies to his post!  

----------------------------------

My parents made me take piano lessons as a kid (which I diligently kept secret from all my friends).  Lasted a good 7-8 years or so.  Hated it back then, but now that I'm closing in on my 30's, I guess I better appreciate the opportunity I had to learn how to play some music when I was young.  My old piano is still at my parents place, but it's still fun to twinkle the ivories whenever I head out there for a family function.

Though I can still play decently enough, and can still hammer out a nice tune or two when the situation presents itself, I've gotten a little rusty over the years.  I've given some consideration to buying a cheap piano or keyboard and jumping back into the music a little, as a form of relaxation in my old age now (especially considering it's no longer considered such a "nerdy" thing at my age).

So who else can play some music?  What's your instrument?  I know we must have at least a few guitar players here!
