Whatever it is, it can't be any lamer than last year's exclusive.

I just got back.  It was about what I expected.  2 hours or so of complete ass kicking, with almost no plot.  It was over the top in every way.  The visual effects, compositing and art direction were beautiful and I enjoyed almost the whole thing.  There were a few parts I thought were too melodramatic and pretty cheesy, but hey, that was kinda the deal right?  I'll probably go check it out one more time at the Imax.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: TRU exclusive Bantha & Rancor?

If the Rancor pack has anything in it that isn't a kitbash or a repack, and it costs less than the Bantha did - I'll eat my hat.

I entered on behalf of a friend for the B&W Boba Fett and for once I won one of these things.  I just hope I don't get shut out when they offer something I really want.

Good for you!

They did insist that winning one raffle doesn't affect your chances of winning the next...



I still never got an email... I'm wondering if I thought I entered but didn't get all the way through the process.

Beats the poop out of me, but since I registered over there for the Clone Busts and ponied up the $50 - I also threw my name into the hat for the Fett Bust... even if I didn't keep it I'm sure I could find a home for it.

But I didn't get an email one way or the other saying I didn't win the raffle...

How'd you guys find out?

Well I pre-ordered.  It's expensive as hell, but I know I'll want it later.  I can always chicken out and cancel in September.

Seems like this comes up every so often, and there's never a real solid answer.

I've heard people theorize that it's smoke, light, plastic bags, dust, heat, and on and on.  Since it's chemical, probably any one of these could be a culprit.

I'll add this though - I have a small coin collection that led me to look into the best way to store coins.  The one thing I found over and over again was coin collectors telling me NOT to put them in little plastic baggies.  They all say that this will corrode the coin over time.  Harder plastics are okay, but anything that's super flexible like ziplocks or sandwich bags seems to be a big no-no.

Or so I've been told.

I bought Borat yesterday... I'm concerned that an extended version is on the horizon though.  This one has 30 minutes of deleted stuff, but from what I understand, they have hours and hours of extra material.

Boy oh Boy I'm on the fence here... I want to pre-order this really badly.  But a) I don't have a surface big enough to display it on and b) $500 is a **** of a lot of money.


Anyone else pre-ordered?

My birthday is in September, maybe I'll just ask everyone to pitch in towards the bill on this thing.

By the time this one gets here, most of the ones I ordered will be here already - so I'll take some pictures of everything and get them up here.

Just ordered an Anakin Revealed Bust... I paid $46 plus shipping on a Buy it Now - but there haven't been many on eBay lately and I started getting worried that they aren't going to get any easier to find...  I saw one that ended for $31 a few days ago, but all the rest (by the time you factor shipping) have been more than this one.

Maybe I could have done a few dollars better - but I figured what the hell...

Has anyone tried this?  I'd be curious to see photos.  I've often thought about it - never seriously though.  I always just figure I'll box up the ROTS stuff first - since a) the cards suck and b) they take up the most space since you can't really overlap them.

Allen has been doing fine alright...  I'm just worried that with the Sonics so completely out of the playoff hunt, that he'll pack it in for the year.



And in other news, I'm getting a big game from Ricky Davis tonight. :)  I love double OT.
