Interesting.  So I guess they're just making these characters up out of thin air.  Weird... but of course I'll buy it.

So the store is open 24 hours.  Does that mean anyone can just walk in 24 hours a day?  Or do you still need a badge for that day to go in?

See you in the clearance aisle, Order 66!   

Yup --- absolutely!  Garbage.  I hate that legless-solid-plastic Palpatine mold.

I am looking for a Plo Koon's Jedi Starfighter, MIMB.  If you have one and are interested in selling it, please let me know how much you'd like for it.

Thanks!

My great, great grandmother used to collect these.  I couldn't be more uninterested in bad repaints and repacks of boring figures served up to me in a cookie tin.  Maybe I can put it on the shelf next to a nice cutlery set and porcelaine plate display.

Some ideas for figures I hope they DON'T make...

Lugagwi – guy who hugs the Rancor Keeper

Yeah...I'd buy the guy that hugs the Rancor Keeper too.

So... what you're saying is...

--So what I'm saying is that this whole topic is a joke.  An open discussion about the comedic value in b.g. characters and their worth to fans.  Truth is, I would probably buy all of them.  But the point is that what we would consider to be ridiculous figures, sometimes actually work... or at least, we buy them.  Cases in point: Porkins.  Absolutely ridiculous.  I bought two... love the fat b*stard.  Also - the mutton chops guy from the bar with Chewie... A great, background character and interesting choice for a figure.  There's a lot to be said about that.  Take Ewok Corpses for example.  Stupid idea, but I know a lot of people who would buy them.   Dengar in tank top... let's say for sake of argument, in the Expanded Universe some day, we see this...  we see Dengar in his hut, or whatever, in a tank top letting his hair down, drinking a beer... what have you.  Well, d*mn, that's about as interesting as the Lucas Family Collector's set in my opinion.  I'll take it.

Yeah, I think I agree with those choices.  The only thing I'm scared about with X3 is Ratner.  I think his last few movies have been total stinkers... not just bad, but unwatchable.  It looks really amazing though, so hopefully he got it right.

Superman looks great too.  Singer is awesome and I have no doubt he will score with this one.  Spacey is always great... and it was a smart move to use John Williams' score and continue the feel from the Donner films.  My only fear is this guy who plays Superman... he looks kind of goofy and we haven't seen any shots of him actually talking and acting.

Pirates 2 looks awesome.  JD rules.  Also, some good looking comedies... I hope Nacho Libre is good... love those guys.  Also, the Will Ferrell Nascar movie looks hilarious.

What else???
