I picked up the red-boxed Fellowship pack at Wal-Mart today for the handsome sum of $25, apparently a 'clearance' price from the regular $29.72. Hm.

It's cool, but I really didn't figure that I have to put it somewhere when I got it home. Damn thing's huge.

I have my 5-year coming up next year. It will be a cold day in hell before I actually want to see those people again. So no, I'm not going.

Way to go on catching up!

I think I'm only missing the Eopie and some Unleashed figures, but I don't collect everything Hasbro puts out.

I'd do away with bigotry, intolerance, and competition. And get rid of crime too.

I was introduced to Star Wars by way of Return of the Jedi, that being in theaters in a rerelease in 1984. Loved it, and saw Empire and A New Hope on VHS shortly thereafter. Of course, like any child who saw these movies, I had to have the toys. And, here we are. I collect Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel Legends, G1 Transformers, and occasional McFarlane, Star Trek, GI Joe, MOTU, and Buffy figures. Also collect comics and DVDs. I play the guitar. Sort of.

I keep the moniker around because I like it. Hasbro really doesn't bother me that much any more.

...

Damn. Just, damn.

So they're going to be statues then, right? I'd pick up the Schoolmaster.

Thanks, OCB. Can't wait for that figure.

These were based on the movie? I thought they were from the book. Stupid me. I didn't look at them because I was going apesh** for new Star Wars stuff.
