Yesterday, it was 81^oF, sunny, and beautiful.

Today? Back to a more realistic March: 47^oF with a chance of rain. $:-\$

My biggest problem with the episode wasn't with Rain Man, but with the ridiculous deus ex machina of President Palmer going from comatose to coherent in just a matter of minutes.

On other soap operas, like Days of Our Lives and All My Children, people come out of comas all the time like that...

The Vintage Collection / Re: Target DPCI #s

« on: March 27, 2007, 10:48 AM »

There is no specific Target DPCI # for the V-Wing and Sith Infitrator ships, there is only one DPCI # for all ships in the Mid-Size/Starfighter Vehicle Assortment:

087-06-1246 - Mid-Size/Starfighter Vehicle Assortment ($19.99)

Sorry, can't help you on the SKU as I have not heard of anyone finding them at TRU or WM yet...

What do your lists look like?

Batman
Detective Cmoics
Nightwing
Robin
Green Arrow
Green Lantern
Green Lantern Corps
Justice League of America
52

I started to read the "Flash: The Fastest Man Alive" relaunch, but I dropped it after 2 issues of "Bart-Flash".

He was tolerable as Kid Flash, but I miss Wally (why'd they ditch him anyway?

)

I pick up the occasional special and tie-in books, but those are my core. No regular Marvels or Dark Horse for me, but I do pick up things on referral here and there. For the SW comics, it's totally story dependant (for example, I'll read a Vader or Han story arc, but I skip the "random Rebel EU story" arcs).

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Your TAC Shopping: Retail or Online?

« on: March 22, 2007, 10:55 AM »

I switched over to trying to buy all my basic figures on-line this year. My Wave 1 case from New Force worked out to $6.75 per figure! That's less than Target/Wal-Mart cost and they were shipped right to my door - you can't beat that! I'll still be hunting the Target and Wal-Mart exclusives at retail though. Those cost waaaaay too much to try to get on-line from the scalpers.

Luckily, the Target exclusives are pretty easy to nab around these parts and it only takes a day or two of hunting when they hit locally to get them. Wal-Mart exclusives on the other hand... Ugh.

Those things are a bit more work for me to track down, but luckily I have a nice local gang that watches out for each other, which makes things much easier for everyone.

30th Anniversary Collection / Hasbro 30AC Overload Already?

« on: March 22, 2007, 10:46 AM »

Man, with the amount of crap that's hit the stores in the 2-3 weeks, you'd think there was a movie coming out or something...

- Eight 30AC Basic Figures
- Darth Vader w/Coin Album
- Six Target Order 66 2-packs
- Tantive IV Battle Pack
- Wal-Mart Treachery on Saleucami Battle Pack
- Sith Infiltrator
- V-Wing Starfighter

I'm looking at dropping about $300 to grab the stuff I want from this batch, and that's not even counting the non-3.75" Hasbro stuff...

- 30AC Unleashed Battle Packs Wave 1 (Tantive)
- 2007 Wal-Mart Unleashed Wave
- 30AC Galactic Heroes Wave 2 (Clone Wars, Cantina, Maul)
- 30AC Galactic Heroes Wave 3 (RotJ, Cantina)
- Four 2007 3" Titanium Series Wave 2 Ships (six ships if you count BSG)

Add in the GH figure packs I wanted and I'm up to about $350.

That is a LOT of stuff for a month. I mean, sure you'll see tons of Spider-Man and Pirates crap this month since both do have movies coming out, but it's looking like there might be just as much new SW stuff in the aisle too...
