Agreed. Looking forward to picking it up on Bluray. That in addition to the Dark Knight, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Clone Wars, and a couple of others have my movie budget pretty full for the rest of the year.

I think it was only in Felucia. Several video games have it on Kashyyyk, so it might've been there as well. I think this monster would fit nicely in a Kashyyyk or Mygeeto diorama, even if it wasn't present in those places in the film.

AT-CT (a new vehicle? this may be the AT-AT-type vehicle I mentioned in the show)

Could this be an official name for the cannons used at the Battle of Christophsis?  With four "legs" on the turret itself, it could qualify as an "All Terrain Cannon Turret" or "All Terrain Clone Turret."  Just speculation on my part, and it would be a welcome addition given their prominence in the film.

At first I was thinking All Terrain Commando Transport, but I think you might be on to something. The walking Cannon is one of only several vehicles that I would want to add to my Clone ground force. (TX-130 Tank and a new AT-RT being the others) I enjoyed the role that the vehicle filled in the movie and it would be nice to have a dedicated artillery piece in toy form. I could be mistaken, but in a Clone Wars book currently on shelves these are used to demolish Separatist ships in a Bothawui asteroid ring... So these should be in the series.

Anyway, I hope that this 'AT-CT' doesn't turn out to be a large AT-AT vehicle. That would disappoint me, as I'd rather see a new ESB/Imperial version.

I could be wrong, but I think they might have been $59.99 last year, and were on sale for a week at $50.

My suggestion to you, Brian, is to just slim down what you collect and sell what you might've bought to be "complete" or because it was "HTF" or "everyone else was buying it." What I did back in 2006 was give myself a limit on what I could buy; 2005 figures onward. A big step towards making space was slimming down my army some. I got into the  whole Skittle Clone thing... had about 9 of each color, 18 501st, Camo, 18 Utapau, etc. I then realized I bought a lot of those because the guys online got them or to be complete. I've now sold all of my troopers that are not based on an Evolutions sculpt. My exception is the BattleFront II sets and Clone Wars.

I think one of the biggest money/space eaters as well as hard urges to beak is wanting to be complete. I had all 60 TAC figures last year. I probably bought about 40 or so for the coins only. Sold 'em and haven't looked back. I also used to own complete collections of Saga 2 and ROTS. I realized it was kinda useless and sold all but my favorite figures from each line. (Actually, I'm not sure if I even own any TSC)
I'm not sure how you collect, but if you're a completist, you gotta kick that thing. It's nicer to have your own complete collection rather than Hasbro's complete collection.

Regarding the collecting of other items, that could be bad. I'm not saying you cannot buy anything other than Star Wars, but you should really be careful. Think about what your biggest love is, and collect those toys. For the other stuff, pick like 5 favorite figures or five favorites per company. Rotate them on display by your computer or something like that. I've found that trying to balance two lines breaks the bank, but getting a couple of Neca figures a year just spices up my desktop.

From reading your post, I get the feeling that you buy just to buy at this point. You seem to like everything. No offense meant, but I think you need to draw a line at what you can/can't have. Believe me, there are about five other lines that beg for me to collect them (Joes, IJ, Dark Night, Legos) but if I did I'd be broke as a mother ******. Over the past year or so I've been working to make my collection MY collection. I'm not buying just cuz someone else has it. If I do, I stick that item on my classifieds list and chalk it up as a mistake. I love the natives of Star Wars. I have 20 Wookiees. I own three Jungle Rancors. 15 Nemoidians. I'd like to think that these things that I enjoy really set my collection apart. Does anyone on here have three of those big ass Rancors? By slimming my collection down I've been able to add some really cool pieces and root out even more stuff that was bought for the hell of it. (I replaced my Y-Wing with two B-Wings... couldn't be happier)

If you'd like, I'd be happy to offer some more tips on how you could selectively feed your addictions but have more space, cooler stuff, etc. This is if you'd like someone else's opinion, of course.

Wow dude... really nice collection! My favorite bits have to be the Clone Wars shelf and the Mygeeto Bridge. I remember seeing your pics of that dio a year or so ago, but I never fully grasped the size until now. The fact that you can fit an AT-TE on there and still have leftover space is amazing. Awesome stuff all around buddy!

Hey guys, it's the internet.

******* relax.

I could, but it's a real pain. Especially when I go swimming in the ocean. Then sand and stuff gets lodged up in there and I'm itchy down south for hours. Takes me many more hours on top of that to clean both the swim suit itself and my nether regions. Stupid internetting.
