Saga '02-'04 / Jedi Points Whats the Latest?
« on: July 31, 2003, 10:12 AM »
Any idea when Hasbro is going to start giving more info out on these?  Dates, Products offered, rules and regulations?  To make this fair and to avoid the pitfalls, you should have to send in your points to register.  This will eliminate people cheating which everyone knows is going to happen.  Thoughts?

Try this one:  www.terraserver.com  It will show satellite photos of almost all North American locations.  It has a zoom in and out which is pretty cool.  Run a search on your address and there it is.

Will the Red Sox ever win the Series?

Sorry Jim, Mike and Ed, but in a word...  NO.

Why?  Just 'cause they're the Red Sox.  That's why.  Isn't that reason enough?   :-*   ;D

Not to mention they're playing in the same division with the free spending Steinbrenner, which will always keep them in second place, at best...   :-\

Shoulda' kept the Babe...   ;)

Matt, I am feeling pretty confident that they will at  least take the Yanks in the finals.  Granted they make it that  far.  Mendoza is the one who is scaring me again.  He sucked as a reliever, so they put him in the starting rotation.  He looked good for a few games, but it looks like his game is falling apart again.  I still think he is on the Yankess payroll.   I think this weekend will answer some of my questions.  Go Sox!

Watto's Junk Yard / Marvel 1970's Comic Appreciation Thread
« on: July 25, 2003, 09:09 AM »
After going through my old comic collection last night, I realized something.  Did anyone else, besides me, find the stories of old were written much better than today?  I decided to finish off some of my titles from that period.  Due to prices and availablity of alot of titles, this will be an ongoing venture for myself.  Being a huge Spiderman fan, he will be the easiest to complete, then I will head for the 1960's titles.  Between issues 100-350, I am only missing 10. Under issue 100 I am missing about 35 issues.  Issue number 25 being the earliest. For the record these are the titles I will be trying to finish off:  

1970's issues only

Spiderman (less than 10 issues, yay!)
Daredevil
X-Men
Hulk
Avengers
Fantastic 4
Iron Man
Captain America
Star Wars

Anyone with issues in this era, and you would like to get rid of them, contact me please.

Mikey D, you mentioned Colon.  Be grateful we never went after him earlier this year.  Hes not having a great season.  Also, i'm not sure there are any starters that anyone is willing to give up this late in the season.  I'll keep my fingers crossed and will stay on the bandwagon til the final out.  I'm too much of a diehard to give up.  Especially this year.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Jedi Points on Ebay? Give me a break!
« on: July 24, 2003, 11:54 AM »
I really dont mind the fact that people are selling these.  The part that bothers me is the price for some of these.  I know its a free country and you can sell things for whatever price you like but to me the price is much too high. Like I stated earlier, you can buy most of those figs for $50 or $100.  Why bother paying that much for points?

I am considering collecting this line.  Finally saw them in person last night and I was very impressed.  The last time I collected Marvel Figs was the Marvel Famous Covers.  I need to know if the following is the correct figs associated with each wave.  I am not concerned about variants just the basic figs.  Please let me know if I am missing any.  Also I would like some feedback from people who collect.  Also the cheapest place to buy.  And are any of the older waves still available anywhere.  So far it looks like TRU has the best price. Thanks in advance.

Wave 1:
Toad
Iron Man
Hulk
Captain America

Wave 2:
Thing
Namor
Human Torch
Dr. Doom

Wave 3:
Ghost Rider
Magneto
Thor
Wolverine
Daredevil

Wave 4:
Beast
Elektra
Gambit
Punisher

Wave 5:
Silver Surfer
Colossus
Nick Fury
Mr. Fantastic
Sabretooth
Red Skull
Blade

Alright , I have lived in Mass my entire life.  I was old enough to experience both the 75 and 86 seasons. In 75 I was young enough to deal with the loss.  In 86 I nearly cried.  So whats the problem.  We have always been competitive, although pitching over the years has really killed us and we cant depend on Pedro to do it all.  So what are everyones thoughts?  Will another century come and go. Will the Bambino curse be lifted?  I dont know about anyone else, but the team they have this year seems so special.  They went out and signed a bunch of low key players that when together create just the right amount of magic.  Im talking about Mueller, Ortiz, Walker and Millar.  All of these guys have really impressed me and playing in Boston has really stepped up all of their games.  I say it every year because I am a die hard and a total optimist , but New York look out.  I think if they can add one more solid pitcher to the rotation they will be tough. ;)

Got mine as well.  The removed battery compartment is a big improvement.  I as well would of liked new panels but I am still happy.  Especially since no Tie Fighters have been released in like 7-8 years.

Not sure if this is an error, but www.deepdiscountdvd.com has the Galactica box set in stock.  Unreleased movie on their site usually have a street date affixed to the price.  This one does not.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Found New Figs, But Not For Sale?

You should just pile all of the figures into a hand held cart and hide them in the clothes dept.  The manager will then say "Well golly gee willickers no more Star Wars toys on the pegs.  Time to restock."  

No good.  They will still show up in the inventory system and will eventually be found.  I was so mad at the time, I felt like ripping everyone of those figs off there cards and just leaving them there.  Its really sad too, because any new figs would sell in the area I am in.  :'(

Naboo Royal Guard and the Red R2 from the Starship.  I also really like the Gungan that was included with the Faamba.

« on: July 23, 2003, 12:53 PM »
I guarantee it was switched.  I was offered a few red r2 units a few years back by a TRU employee.  I skipped his offer because I saw the scam already.  3 Royal Starships all with R2-D2s in the box on the shelf.  Its bad enough being dishonest, but to be a dishonest employee is worse.
