The teacher gave me a CD with the video burned on it, so, I'm looking over it right now.

Lars ain't gonna like that...

It's a shame that they didn't have you write a paper on the brilliant Hollywood flick, 2 Fast 2 Furious.  

aka, Fast and Furiouser

Costco retails it for ~$43. (~$33 with the coupon. Woohooo.)

Stopped by Fry's around lunchtime today. Didn't see any. Either they were doling them from a counter out or they were totally out.

Also saw the BSG set at Costco for *gulp* $80. And I understand it's even more at other places. *gulp* *gulp*

I'm not sure if this is the same article I vaguely remember reading, but it answers your question anyway.

He likes sarsaparilla, too, which may taste like root beer but isn't. America used to drink sarsaparilla, says the king -- now it can't even spell it.

The initial complaints were for KEBco charging customers' cc for the balance even though the orders wouldn't ship for several weeks. Some were annoyed that it took 2-3 weeks to get an email response.

One writer relayed the crappy correspondence he had with "Scott"; a "he said, she said" about when his order would ship.

Ken, the owner, posted. He apologized for the problems and explained that because they were understaffed, for the sake of efficiency they would charge customers en masse before sorting the merchandise and processing the orders, which could take a few weeks. He also said they were reviewing their software, which automatically posted inventory availability and such on their website. Basically, typical speak to try to calm the natives.

Then Scott, the business manager, posted. Woo hoo.

So-and-so is a liar. I never said this. I never said that. He's a liar.

Another "he said, she said" ensued.

The poster accused of lying reprinted an email he received from Scott that day telling him to never visit the KEBco site again.

Scott started another thread for comments and suggestions because he wanted to leave behind the trashing KEBco was receiving in the other thread.

One of the ditties he wrote was his own complaint of how dissatisfied customers didn't bother emailing or calling him directly instead of taking it public.

Several who watched from the sidelines as this little drama develop posted on the threads essentially telling Scott that he wasn't acting in a professional manner and his onscreen behavior would scare away customers.

Philip explains why the threads were closed. KEBco Toys Topics

I gave the sets to my nephews when they were around 4-1/2. These are the only SW toys that hold their interest for an extended period.

JCPenny's also carried this last year.

It's not like Hasbro to only make a small batch of any ship. There has to be more than what little has shown up at retail. Hopefully the remainder is just stuck sitting in some warehouse in the Far East and will eventually be distributed.

Btw, I noticed that prices for the older AF, which had dropped in recent months, are on the rise again.

On a related note, are you people finding that your Jedi Starfighters appeared to have been opened and resealed (at the tape area.

I haven't picked up the new Jedi Starfighter, nor have I checked out the several I've seen, but I've noticed the re-seal on two other Hasbro products -- all of the Imperial Forces 4-pk in the 3 TRU I go to and all of the black/blue Batmobile in at least 1 TRU.

Yup, these are pretty cool. I have the heads from collections 1-4, 8 and 9, and  Vader and C-3PO. The heads from 8 and 9  I got from Pizza Hut. (I have extras to trade for those who have the walnuts from 5 and 6.)

During Galoob's buzzboard days, JKF gave away a whole bunch of set #2. I could kick myself for not entering that 'contest', especially since he also gave away the 2nd wave of Epic Collections.
