So you're saying that Hasbro hiring DePriest caused the econnomy to tank?  I can get behind that!

Case assortments wouldn't be so bad if they had decent distribution.

Sorry to hear about Tarkin, Jesse.  I hope it ends up getting better as time passes...

On a personal note, I may be seaking out advice from you as our Great Dane, Buffy, is turning 10 in May.  It's going to be a really rough patch for the entire family when it's her time.

As someone who has had to put three dogs to sleep in the last 5 years, all i can say is they will let you know when it is time.

My advice is to not think about it today....just enjoy them being with you.

Went to the middle of nowhere Illinois last weekend and stumbled across a Lando at a Walmart.  Haven't seen a hint of the rest of it... I miss the days when I could actually find a new figure in a real store. 

Yeah....those were the good ol' days.

I finished the Apocalypse tonight.  I thought it was a good book, and the series overall was decent.  They have definitely left it open for a new series and it will be interesting to see where it goes from here.

I like how they tied in The Old Republic, The Clone Wars Cartoon, most of the Post ROTJ EU and the Legacy comics into one series.  Some of it was a bit of a stretch at times (like the Darth Krayt portion) but they had hinted at the One Sith earlier when Ship returned to Korriban....so I wasn't rolling my eyes too much.

Some things that need to be addressed in future books:

- Somehow, Jagged Fell has to become the Head of State for the Empire again.
- Where did Vetara Khai end up?
- What will happen with the remnants of the Lost Tribe?
- Where will Daala end up?
- Allana has been revealed to have survived.  How will this play out with the Throne of Balance vision?

I guess we'll have to buy more books down the road.

He is unconventional, but he's also motivated to be better.  I have all the respect in the world for Peyton Manning, he's a true hall of fame QB, but I don't see him lasting 5 years.  If they don't win the Super Bowl this year, they never will with Peyton.

Peyton Manning will never be the Peyton Manning that won Super Bowl XLVI.  I think the Broncos made a $96 Million mistake here, especially if they get rid of Tebow.

If you brought Peyton in to help Tebow develop long term, fine, but he is one blind-side hit from being in a wheelchair.  That is in the back of his mind.
