Get outta here!!
Is this the one on union square?

Yeah... All of us New Yorkers and Jerseyites(?) have walked past that numerous times and thought: strollers, pacifiers, diapers, wipes, Fisher Price stuff... but never Star Wars figures.

Babies R Us carries action figures?

I was surprised, too. I was there with the wife looking for clothes with the kid and wandered upstairs to see if they had action figures... I figured I'd waste a little time so I wouldn't get bored.

BRU = BabiesRus?

Yeah... BRU sounds a bit cooler though. I never even thought to hit the BRU in Manhattan. I didn't think they'd carry SW figures there. I wonder what they'll restock with?

Just picked up 9 Hoth Troopers for a MN guy at BRUs today. Didn't realize they were having the BOGO (it was unadvertised) or I would have nabbed a Fleet Trooper for myself to get the sale.

Okay my 2 day BRU haul (for other forum members) is:

9x Hoth Rebel Troopers
4x Bastilla Shan
5x Rebel Fleet Troopers
2x Walrusmen

I know. I just can't bite, either... and I'm more interested in the main characters and bounty hunters. They don't have those out yet... if they even have a series 2.

That's a deal.  Wish my TRU had anything remotely like that kind of stock or I'd go right now and stock up on Hoth and Fleet Troopers.

I nabbed all the Hoth guys, Jesse since I knew Justin and Dan were looking for them. They had about 10 Fleet Troopers there, too. Want me to hook you up?

I was thinking of getting another Fleet Trooper for myself since I'd like to display one with a cap.

I've guess moving to NY and adopting the Rangers as my team is a good move. One nice thing about NY is that  every night is hockey night... either the Rangers, Islanders or the Devils are playing.

Wow! Always amazed at your work, Sillof! I love seeing Star Wars through various genres. I wonder what else you will come up with? Greek/Roman mythology?

I found it funny at the time that Jocasta Nu didn't just say it was possible when clearly it was.

I just think that goes with Yoda's say that the Jedi are often arrogant, and Nu confirms this by saying the Jedi archives are complete, etc.

I see lots of Pondas at my local TRU. They aren't going to move at the $12 price mark.

I like to stick with new figures and Cliegg and Picnic and Lakeside Padme are musts for me. I'd be in for some new Jedi as well. I do think there are a lot of figures that need revisited, too, like Lil Fett, Clone Trainees, Lama Su and Taun We, some of the Separatists, etc.

Maybe she just wants to spend time with you  ;)

I totally get that, Tracy. But I would prefer to spend time with her in a way that's mutually agreeable.

But the inability to accurately predict the amount of time you're going to need over and over again drives me nuts.

Agreed. I just wish the offending female (I'm not saying this is just a woman thing as I know a few that hate to shop) would say out front that this trip is going to take 2.5 hours, so that way I can already weigh my options. Maybe there are some projects I want to get done that day. If you say your doing 1 thing at 1 store, I can estimate the time of the trip and know it won't cut deeply into what I want to do later. If she says I'm going to 5 shops, I'll respectfully decline. I guess it's the idea of respecting one's time.

That sucks, Justin. Not the same, but thanks for all the help with nabbing figures and Kubricks for me over the years.

Here's one most guys can probably relate to. A pet-peeve of mine is a wife/mother, etc who asks you to go shopping (when it's the last thing on Earth you want to do) with them and claims that they have only one or two items to get at one story. You agree to go along and end up looking at ten items at four stores having spent an hour and a half longer than expected. Maybe it's a Multiple of 5 Rule?

I always tell the offending party to be honest up front so I can be mentally prepared and work my schedule accordingly. I'm the kind of person who does strategic shopping. I'm in and I'm out.
