Did anyone see that the exclusive version of the Yoda Vs. Dooku is a really terrible looking faux bronze version? There's only 100 and of course they sold out in just a few minutes, but why would anyone want one of those when you could have this beautiful colored version? Furthermore, how are they going to have an exclusive version of this, but not have one for the first one they did, the Obi-Wan Vs. Anakin?

In other news:

I've been reading reports that the hands are really loose on the Obi-Wan Vs. Anakin statue. I figured nothing would be moving on this thing since it's a statue, but I guess I shouldn't assume. For the amount of money we are paying for these, they should be perfect. I'll know on Tuesday when mine arrives.

I just found out that I'll be getting a 20% discount on this book with my Barnes & Noble membership as well as an additional 15% off with a special coupon I was just sent for renewing my account a few weeks ago. I can't remember what the exact cost of this book is, but 35% off is sweet!

Welcome to the boards manglord! You don't have to apologize for the lack of Star Wars in your screen name. Just look at mine!  I'm JGordon24 on several sites. I guess the biggest reason I do that is so everyone will recognize me no matter where I'm at and like you said, it makes it easier on yourself to not have a bunch of different screen names and passwords.

I really think that Jeff would've won the race if the damn thing would've stayed green for awhile at the end.  He was about to pass Jimmie before the one caution came out.  After that, his momentum was gone.  Oh well.  Nothing wrong with a third-place finish.

Nope, nothing wrong with that finish at all. I just hope he can put some distance on Jimmie over the next few races so it doesn't come down to a last lap thing at Homestead-Miami Speedway. I'd love for him to have a larger cushion going into that race so he only has to finish like....30th to win it regardless of what Jimmie does.

I was getting a little worried for a while there. Nascar.com had Jeff finishing 3rd at first, then they changed it to 4th and even the points reflected that. I just checked a few minutes ago and they put him back to 3rd. Kyle Busch was in front of him when the caution flag flew on the last lap, but Jeff was in front when they came across the finish line which would have been the last scoring loop line. So, they did the right thing. Now, Jeff has a 53 point lead on Jimmie, a 115 point lead on Bowyer and a 249 point lead over Stewart. It's so nice not to have to worry about the #20. Now if we could do the same with the other two contenders. 

For those that didn't know, Jeff Gordon wins the pole for Martinsville! This is the seventh pole of the year for Jeff and his 63rd career pole. 

The last MR helmet was just announced. They will be doing a 750 piece production of the Shadow Utapau Trooper bringing the total number of Clone helmets to eight.

I would have much rather had an OT helmet, but I'll certainly pick this one up to complete the set.

And then eventually if you're really lucky they'll make that 1:1 scale inflatable version.

Hey guys, have you ever seen or heard of any hardcover X-Wing Rogue Squadron books? I'd love to have that complete set in hardcover!

Paperback only.  Sorry...

Yeah, that's what I figured, but I had to ask.
