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.

I cracked and bought the Ringwraith on Horse set. It's pretty wicked, but it's hard to screw up something as simple as this.

I like the Frodo/Sam/Ringwraith set. That'll probably be my next purchase. I wanted to buy Gandalf, but he isn't exactly white. Is it so hard to paint a Gandalf the White figure white? It's taken two companies and neither of them can nail it.

'oooooo, she's a little runaway...'

I think that's how it goes, anyway. I heard that song on the radio and now it's stuck in my head.
