I'm a little late...but Happy Birthday...hope you had a great one!

I just got my notification as well, expected delivery by Thursday.  I'm really looking forward to seeing these...but just like Mikey D...I have to find somewhere to put them.  I'll make room if I have to .

I agree, I'm not sure how much of this line I will be able to collect ($ and room), but Roboto was always my favorite character, and if anyone has one they don't want, I'll take one too .  Its a shame this line is handled the way it is, doesn't seem like it has a whole lot of life left in it.

Great topic, the original NES was a great system.  I actually have my old one hooked up in our spare bedroom as well.  A lot of great memories with that system.  It might have been the fact that we were kids, but even with all of the graphical advances, etc. of the new systems, I almost think my friends and I had the most "fun" with the old NES.  Hours upon hours of Tecmo Bowl, I can tell you that for sure.  I still have fun playing that game.  Don't get me wrong, the new games are pretty spiffy too, and we never had anything like Rogue Leader on that old system either .  Anyways, the NES was and still is a great system to just have fun with I think.  A lot of great games like the ones you mentioned....I also remember Castlevania, Mega Man, Kid Icarus, Mario, and of course Star Wars.

I really hope (like all of you), that this ends up being true.  I can't wait for the OT to finally be released on DVD.  I have the same complaints as you about the special editions as well.  It would be great if extras like "From Star Wars to Jedi" were included in the set, I loved watching that when I was a kid.  It used to be on TV around here from time to time.  I think it would be neat to see the old trailers and/or some deleted scenes as well...but who knows what we will end up getting.

I agree, I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of Star Wars cartoon after the movies are over.  Just a nice way for some of us to get our "fix" without new movies, and maybe without messing up any continuity either.  I remember in one of my Insider magazines, one of the main guys involved with the Clone Wars cartoon (name escapes me right now), said he would love to do a Han and Chewie cartoon when the Clone Wars stuff is done with.  Anything would be pretty cool, I do hope they release these on DVD as well.

I've really been having trouble deciding which line to collect, Toy Biz, or Armies of Middle Earth.  Since I don't have any LOTR collectibles so far, I'm starting from scratch and could go either way.  I have always wanted a few TB figures, but the AOME are appealing due to a space issue with my collections, and being able to get three figures for about the same price as one 6" figure.  I'm not sure what to do, but both lines are looking great lately...and easy to find thanks to KBtoys.com.  Do any of you prefer one line over the other?

At this point I'm not sure what I want to do.  When Episode II was in production and rolling, I'll admit I read ever bit of spoilage there was...and I can't really say it hurt my appreciation of the movie any, but maybe it did.  I originally thought I would steer clear of Episode III news, and let the movie be more of a surprise...but that hasn't really happened so far.  I'm a Hyperspace subscriber, and I've read all of the spy reports so far.  Maybe if I didn't have access to the internet all day long it would be easier .
