Welcome madmartigan, looks like we should open a Just Found section for Edmonton collectors only :p

Well my Credit Card was charged today!  Finally, it will soon be mine  I'm glad I didn't spend the ching on a vintage one last year

Yep, I've seen them at Wal MArt too, Jango, Mace, Anakin and Vader.  I'm passing and wondering why they decided to release these at all???

My thoughts and prayers are with the Columbia astronauts, families and people who work for NASA.   I never thought we would see two Space Shuttles gone.  I was home sick the day the Challanger blew up (probably the sickest I have ever been to boot) and so I had tons of feverish nightmares that week.  I along with a lot of other kids in the 80's dreamed of being an astronaut, SW was a big part of that dream.  

In one of Carl Sagan's books he predicted doom for the shuttle program if another one was destroyed.  Space exploration funding is seen as unneccesary (witness the ISS being 20+ years behind schedule due to budget cuts in its program).  Risking astronaut lives is deemed to risky and many of the missions could be performed by unmanned craft (see many of the recent Mars successes and failures) for far cheaper costs.  Plus public reaction to this disaster may mean even less risk wanted to be taken in tax money.

BTW AE, have you ever been to the rocket museum in Huntsville?  I alwys have wanted to go (I fly in to Huntsville when I go to Alabama) but never have gotten the chance

Just check the main page for all the gory $10 details!!!  I saw one last week, passed becuase I was in the middle of packing, I already have one and my wife would kill me...good luck to those still looking though.  They are out there.  I would guess the UPC is the same as last time so some Wal-Marts had them on Clearance last summer and haven't updated the computers yet
