Is there any one here at JD who has experience or knowledge of being in the National Guard?  Especially concerning deployment in Iraq?  I'm writing a story about this, and I want to make sure I have all the details right.  A lot of the information my grandad left from WW2 doesn't seem to apply here, and I don't know anyone in the Guard presently, so any help would be appreciated.

I just have a few questions.  Hope someone can help.

Thanks a lot,

They have the 'online only' tag next to some upcoming LOTR figs, too.  Hmm...

Those loose shots, wow.  Not too big on the cloak on ROTS Anakin, but I can live with it.

I'm gonna say... $391.  That's probably too high, but oh well.  The "I'm going to wait for DVD" mentality is cutting the legs out from under every movie now and aside from inflation, I seriously doubt any film from here on out will ever contend with Titanic. 

Are they?  They're long gone around here (Iowa). 

I actually wouldn't mind if they repacked some of these, since I missed out on a lot of the Screen Scene ones.

I also scored a Target bonanza yesterday.  I got KFC Anakin, Bacarra, the blue Clone 3 pack, and a Wookie Flyer.  I was jumping up and down, I was so excited.   

Word.  One of the joys (and frustrations) of SW is all the implications - the Palpatine/midichlorians/Plagueis thing, for instance.  Lucas leaves a lot of the work to the audience, and sometimes he overdoes it, but like with great fiction, there's nothing better than being engaged with the material.

Well, from the Making Of stuff it's clear he planned all the colors from the start.  After AOTC, Hasbro had to know what demand there would be for all the color variants, and to not have any out there right now is about as stupefying as packing the #41 Clone one per case.  Ok.  So maybe they don't know.
