I'm sorry for wasting time posting this.  Please delete as Ebay has been much kinder to me.

I just picked up a FX X-Wing and I'm wondering why the box is so freaking big.  I have the Saga editions, even have a few hanging from the ceiling but I can't quite figure out the box size.  Did Kenner just try and make the ship appear larger than it actually is or are my eyes deceiving me?  I'm not opening this thing, so I'm just wondering.

I wanted to plug some holes in my collection so I'm looking for (I believe) w3 and w4 of the Star Tours Droids consisting of the following:

SAGA card
G2-9T
SK-Z38
R5-D2

OTC card
G3-5LE
MSE-IT
3T-RNE

Looking for carded only, minty - preferably.....Possibly a boxed Starspeeder as well.

Thanks for any help!

I was wondering if I could perhaps get some advice from the JD community on study habits as the majority of you guys seem to be well educated.  I graduated high school back in 96 and I swore to myself that I would only take a year off before attending college.  Well, that never happend and one thing led to another so I just kept putting it off until now - Monday actually. 

College seems like the perfect thing in my life right know as I'm getting laid off from my job after 5 years unfortunately due to consolidation so the state is going to pay for the first few semesters of school for me.  I don't come from a wealthy family so this was good news for me.

I hate reading, always have, always will...Now I have 10 books (which weigh about 20lbs) to read for the Fall semester.  I've not read a single book since high school, so obviously this will be a challenge for me.  I won't be working for the first semester, so I won't have that extra burden to worry about.

Any tips on the best way to study?  Self or group enviroment, online, in a library, on a train, in a plane???  I used to just blast my stereo at home which seemed to work perfectly for me back in the day, but I don't think that's such a good choice.

I'm a lurker on this site with the exception of the MN finds thread btw.  I read a lot of your guys thoughts on comments, but I don't contribute much, obviously.

Does anybody think that they threw in the whole Jedi beacon thing in was possibly for an explanation of the Jedi that I assume are supposed to appear in the new tv show?  I mean we know that Yoda and Obi-Wan went into hiding so the show would suck without any Jedi in it.

That should mean that there were some straglers out on other planets who received the message to stay away from the temple.  Obi-Wan seemed extremely worried when Yoda told him about the beacon which warrented them to go back to the temple to change the message.  There are no other Jedi in ep 4-6 so it would seem that no other Jedi survied the attack.  So why would they risk there lives to go back to the temple if no other Jedi survived?  Yoda is a pretty smart guy who can feel the force, so he would have known that others were still out there.  He also said that it would take the clones quite awhile to figure out that Obi-Wan changed the message.

Alot of speculation here, but this is what i thought of immediatley when they went back and changed the message.  I'm probably wrong on this entire thing, but maybe, just maybe he threw that just to set up a possible explanation if he were to hand over 7,8, 9 to someone in the future.  A new trilogy would be kinda weird with a family of Jedi - Luke, Leia + her kids.

Big daddy said that he won't hand over Ep 7 to anybody tonight on 60 minutes...I don't believe it myself, but what are your thoughts??

I'm a carded collector and always have been.  My question is to you openers here (yes I'm new to this site.)

I will snatch up any rehash or rerelease of a figure if it's on a new card with the exception of the HOF for some reason.

I know that there are very subtle changes to most of the OTC figures, so I would like to know why you guys are collecting this line at all or if you're keeping a carded set.

My apologies if this was already posted...
