Looks like he's at the St. Paul main branch today... they should try to deliver him today at some point.  I don't know if they will leave them at the door though, so I may have to pick them up at the post office tomorrow.

Mine only shipped yesterday :-\  Given what my week looks like next week, it's probably two weeks before I have him in my hands.  Not that it really matters much, I'll open up the outer box, look at him and then load him onto the stack of other boxes in the basement anyway >:( ::)

Sadly, i'm in the same boat as you. Everything I have is being boxed up for the time being...  :(

You two are talking nonsense!  Get those babies, open them up, and let them see the world through their own eyes, not through extra layers of plastic, cardboard, rubbermaid bins, etc.

People will start to think all you collect is rubbermaid tubs!  ;)

And put it where? 

New house.  My room to be in basement.  Need to wait until we've gone through a winter before finishing basement (shifting, flooding, etc.). 

Trust me, I have no interest in the plastic and cardboard, Vader needs to breathe.  But the box will provide protection until he can do so.

How about the top of the fridge? Or on a plant stand in the corner? Any 6" by 6" flat surface will do!  ;D

Ah, I am married, but I keep her medicated much of the time. She loves Kaluha mudslides.

My trick was to get the kids on board. My 5 year old daughter asks repeatedly "can we watch a star wars movie tonight?" and my 8 year old helps me maintain my spreadsheet of the collection. By making it a family event, it is no longer perceived as a selfish collection! Bwahaaa haaa ha ha ha  ;)

Wow!  He really towers over Boba Fett!  Nice!

Glad to see collectors opening their toys.


Nice, Adam.  8)  Now rip that sucker out of the box!  ;D

Done and done!






He`s really quite heavy! Also, the smell of paint, it is intoxicating! Got a good
blast when I popped him open  :D

Not sure if this has been covered but does anyone know when the 400% Jedi Fetts hit the street and if Robby will be carrying them?  Also, I just got my 400% Vader and it is HUGE!  Packaging is cool too.
