I loved the M.A.S.K. figures back in the day, and I appreciate now that the smaller scale of the person allowed them to create better vehicles for those plastic men to ride in.

Then you'll be happy to hear that Hasbro might be bringing it back:

I grabbed the new OT Microfighters and the T-16.  I'm holding off on the Slave I, but only for a little bit.

Last time I had trouble with a buyer I just called eBay.  They do have customer service and it can be pretty helpful.

I drove from Chicago to Tampa last week (and back) and the lowest I saw was $1.87.

It was a nice break from the cost of that trip on an average year, but I'm not going to get too excited.  I'm pretty confident it'll be right back where it was last July, by next July.

Star Wars is a completely different animal.  All new movies, all new characters.  I believe there will be a 3.75" line.  What it looks like?  That's a different question.

I'm going to guess:
$7 - 3.75" 5POA line
$15 - 3.75" premium collector line (like VOTC was back in 2004).  Maybe clamshells, maybe on vintage-style cards, maybe even exclusive.

I think we'll get what we want... but I think we're going to pay for it as well.

I'm not so sure it'll get pricier.  When Episode III came out figures dropped back down to $4.99 because they made money through volume and not MSRP.  I'm hoping we see cheaper figures (than now, not than 2005) when Episode VII hits.   It's going to be incredibly lucrative.

That's awesome.  The headlines yesterday were that it was down to Boston and Chicago... having lived a block north of Wrigley Field for the last 5 years has slowly turned me into a little bit of a Cubs fan - now I want to see Kris Bryant called up.

His last name is tough to spell, but his first name is spelled "Jeff."  :)

Thanks for nothing Jordy Nelson!

And also, thanks for nothing Peyton Manning - who for the first time in 51 games didn't throw a TD pass and contributed a whopping 0.17 points.

Such is fantasy football though, so congrats!

Might be worth the risk, but it's almost definitely a scam.

I picked up the UCS R2-D2 and X-Wing today.  Having a buddy who works at the Lego store is awesome.
