Wow. That's alot of taxes!
Anyway, yeah...Star Wars is awesome.
Personally, I don't want the figures to leak early. Can you imagine what a drag it would be if Hasbro didn't set a street date, and the figures just started popping up a little heere and a litle there? Many of us would go nuts trying to find them as soon as possiblem and getting each one that you wanted would be a royal pain.
Just a side note, in 1983, as Jedi was approaching it's release date, my dad drove me to TRU to look for the new figures. I found a whole, big case (32? 64?) that had just been opened. When I asked my dad how many we could buy, he said, with a smile, "Get one of each. I don't want to be driving around for the next few weeks trying to track them all down."
