Saga '02-'04 / Re: Card Molesters should be shot!!!
« on: June 6, 2003, 02:20 PM »
Oh yes. If there was a new figure there with a bent card or whatever I'm going to purchase it. Unless the figure itself is somehow damage or the accesories. Even then I may still buy it.

JD Sports Forum! / Re: Sammy Sosa busted with a CORKED bat!
« on: June 5, 2003, 05:32 PM »
Well, I admit that I thought his excuse was BS at first. Now that all 70 plus bats have come back ok I will give him the benefit of the doubt. I do think that he should be suspended and fined though. As far as labeling him a corker for all eternity goes I think it's too harsh to say that now. The media hype will die down once another negative sports-related story comes along.

The Prequel Trilogy / Re: Anakin and Padme...
« on: June 5, 2003, 04:15 PM »
Is sounds like Padme will both keep the union with Anakin quiet and the fact that she is pregnant. Perhaps somehow Anakin won't know that she is pregnant. Eh, you think he would but maybe he's too busy being shipped off to fight battles during the clone wars to know for certain.

The Original Trilogy / Re: How does Vader know who "Luke" is?
« on: June 5, 2003, 02:41 PM »
Lucas had to have the Emperor say "Son of Skywalker" so that the audience would not know until the end that Vader is Luke's father. We can't have a line like "Your son Luke must not become a Jedi. Right Anakin?"
Word probably got out that this young pilot named Luke Skywalker, from Tatooine no less, destroyed the Empire's super weapon and snickered about it a bit. People in the know blabbed it to everyone they knew. Soon it's all over the galaxy. Kind of how news spreads in a small town. Soon everybody knows. Too big of a secret to keep quiet.
Yes, it would have been better to change Luke's last name to something like Wunkerbunk. Owen could go around and say "This is my boy Luke Wunkerbunk. Ain't no one going to call him Skywalker. Got it? Right? Good!" Of course then kids may have started teasing him and calling him "Luke Skywalker" just to tick off Owen and the name stuck. Just think, we could have had action figures that read "Luke Wunkerbunk" that would have been bad.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: hey, are you a star wars fan?
« on: June 5, 2003, 02:15 PM »
I know I am not a top dog when it comes to Star Wars collecting. However, my collection is quite large. Mine mainly consists of the action figures and 12inch from vintage up through now and the vehicles, ships, playsets that go along with the lines. I do have a lot of carded stuff as well but mainly from 1995 on.
I stay away from the prop replicas, store displays, PVC figurines, and extra stuff like that. Yet, I have many things in the collection that are not toy-related. If I go to collectible shows and such I usually act like the other person knows more than me, but usually I know exactly what is going on and can see through the bull.
My only major collecting mistake was not sitting in line for a Jorg Sacul at Celebration 2 and actually having fun at the booths and such. That and trying not to get trampled by the large crowd

Yep, being a Bear's fan I am happy to hear that. Kind of a no-brainer to do this but glad they did it.

Hammerhead is near the top of my list. Hope it comes out early next year. That would be nice. Yeah, I'd love to have a Rebel Fleet Trooper.

Hmmmm, I have seen this before as well. However, we have a non-believer on the boards. Hmmm, meditate on this I will. Who the heck am I kidding? I won't!
Yeah, believe it. It's actually true. I have seen the evidence of card bending as well. As stupid as it sounds it does exist. Although very, very infrequently.

The Prequel Trilogy / Re: Deathsticks guy - Like 'em or Hate 'em?
« on: June 4, 2003, 12:46 PM »
I did not really like that guy. I thought he was really cheesy. But I did like Obi-Wan's line to him and the fact that he left the bar. LOL!
As far as a figure goes. Sure, why not. It was one of the more funnier moments of ATOC and the series. If Pote Snitkin can get a figure made so can that dude.

Yeah as far as villains go Hannibal is where he should be. Although I like Vader much better but I'm biased. I could not believe Luke was not on the list considering Obi-Wan and Han Solo made it.

« on: June 3, 2003, 05:23 PM »
Anyone heard what 12 inchers are on tap for 2004? If any? I barely know what is in store for 2003 but thought I'd ask anyway.
