My girlfriend picked up Part 1 and Part 2 of the 'Last Man Standing' Empire storyline... So I had to 'pay her back' by going to Victoria's Secret and buying her some kinda lotion stuff - where the saleslady conned me into buying all kinds of crap "for a better deal"... By my estimate, I 'paid her back' about $10 for two comics. Yay.

[Angry Ewok]

Alrighty, I found some new figures in the Carolinas... Lando (Death Star), Dutch, TIE Pilot, and Antilles all from a Wal-Mart for $5 a piece - as well as the Ewok Glider for $10. I also picked up a Star Wars T-shirt with the Clone Wars Yoda on it, it says 'Pull My Finger,' I think, that was $18.

Thank goodness I was selling on ebay at the same time:
May sales: $703.19  

Anyhoo, annual total thus far is $2695.82 (doesn't include the $100 I dropped on a golf club).

Still, I think I may look away from ebay buying for a month or so

looks like i'm going to be going way over my "expected" budget for the year, since we aren't even half way through, and i'm up to about 80% of my budget. this list doesn't even count the almost $200 worth of stuff i'm waiting for from starwarsshop.com, if they can ever figure out what's going on with my credit card  

[JediMAC]

5/19 - $70 - flying solo - jeremy bulloch autobiography

$70 for a book?  Huh?!?  What's the deal with that Dave?  Out of print, and imported?  Yikes.

Yikes on your (and Adam's) total too!  Damn!  

Congrats to Adam on finally finding that Fett cel and finishing his collection of those off!

$70 for a book?  Huh?!?  What's the deal with that Dave?  Out of print, and imported?  Yikes.

check it out here - only because fett's my favorite character. anybody else i would have passed at that price. and it's actually a great read, covers his convention appearances from 1981 to the present, some really funny stories in there.

Yikes on your (and Adam's) total too!  Damn!  

yeah, tell me about it... at least i have something to aim for  

Congrats to Adam on finally finding that Fett cel and finishing his collection of those off!  

how many of these cells were there altogether? if i'm even thinking about the same ones.... i have a few on them, if i am. i have a fett with some stormtroopers in the background, some stormtroopers riding this ship, and one with r2 and 3p0 all from the droids series. are these the same ones?

[BigDumbWookiee]

These are from the OT films, each comes in a small acrylic case with a cardboard insert, kind of like a collector card, surround the cel. They are the Willitt's Designs 70mm Film Cel Collectables, a lot of which are ultra cheap on eBay.

If memory serves, there are 12 ANH, 2 sets of 11 ESB (set A and set B) along with four SE ESB, and 12 ROTJ along with 1 SE ROTJ. The only difference between the ESB A and B sets are the cardbacks. They are really cool pieces, and I'm so relieved that I may potentially be finished with the collection; assuming the piece arrives lol

[Angry Ewok]

Gotta love Target. Found Ozzel, Dengar, and one of the furry things from Jabba's. Not sure which (shrug).

Finally bought my first toys for June (Muppets Series 7).  My consumption has really slown down since the dry spell hit my area, but I've still spent WAY more in the first 6 months of the year than I ever thought I would.

I still have to buy a bunch of shelves and set up my new Star Wars room (everything is in boxes). I can't remember if that counts in this section or not.  

[Dark_Kanos]

21.67 is my total   most of it is toys except fifty cents for a Black and Purple Anakin Vader Episode 1 book at a yardsale
