I skipped my 5 year one and went to the 10...waste of time.  Everyone I wanted to stay in touch with I have and I hate the "Do you recognize me?" game anyway....

I will pick one up for sure (if I can find one that is   ).  I didn't know the lightsaber joined together so that was a nice surprise.  I was under the impression that the card color was going to change but it seems I was wrong.  I know I read it somewhere but it must have been in a rumor thread or something.  

1.  The Empire Strikes Back
2.  Star Wars
3.  Return of the Jedi
4.  Attack of the Clones
5.  THe Phantom Menace


Looks like many of us agree on this one.

I am all for a new version of both.  I didn't like the trash compactor scenes (I know Luke had wet hair but he had no eyes, at least in the ones around here).

I'd rather have them sold on a card per the way MisterPL described or sold as a cinema scene three pack along with a new hoodless Ben.  Top that off with the ability to actual FIND them and I'd be a happy camper!!

Everyone knows all about my collection here.   My children (and my hubby) have had to suffer through each movie because I would be featured in the paper, on the local TV station & on the radio since it seems like even the smallest towns try to get caught up in all the hype and I am the only one who proclaims my "addiction".  I've had the Walmart greeters actually wait for me to come in so they could tell me that new stuff was stocked the previous night!  I guess in a small town it's hard to keep secrets anyways and since my license plate does say "Ms Jedi" the cats pretty much out of the bag.

Now if you ask my family...well, I know when a teacher makes any reference at all to star wars in any way, the entire class expects my kids to know the answer.  And my husband has taken a lot of good natured ribbing on tagging along with me to conventions and he's always asked if he's sleeping with Chewie yet (as if he'd ever let me put star wars bedding on the bed...I know my limits!! ).  Maybe they would have liked me to tone it down some but....

I'd also like to recommend "Tales of the Jedi".  It takes place LONGGGGG before Episode 1 and for the most part, was well written.  

I actually stumbled across the Dark Empire while I was buying Marvel comics back when it first came out but had missed one and two.  Since I was a regular customer,  the owner back ordered them for me.  I have been hooked on SW comics ever since  .  Hope you find that your comic book dealer is as good as the one I have!

I have never gotten these as I handled the Anakin that was out of the box and laying in the "reduced for quick sale" cart at Walmart and the sculpt was aweful and the pose was crappy.  I don't even know his price as the box was laying next to him but I do know it wasn't free and that would be the ONLY way I'd take it home!!  

I'm not sure if Hasbro was trying for a larger "epic force" type toy to see how the consumer would react or what but I don't think they sold well, at least not around here.

Ahh, good thing I checked here first to see if this had been addressed...all better  

Ok, maybe not...when I add the smiley it explodes immediately.  how come??

Left and came back:
Nope, it didn't work for me, I picked the windows version (there are five to pick from) same exploding font...now to find a staff member....
