It's a bonus - that's how I'm forced to look at it.  I'd be buying these VOTC figures anyway, so kudos to Hasbro for reviving the old mail-away offer thing and letting us all get in on the nostalgia that comes along with it. 

If it was Hermie Odle everyone would be furious - at least with a Lucas figure most people won't freak out if they don't get one.

I'll order as many as I'm able to with all the Scout Troopers I'm hoping to find and maybe I can trade the extras if there are any.

Brent, where do you see the 5 BN spots?  I don't see them on my 'my team' page.

Happy birthday Mikey (!)

I think I've added about 6 in the new year, and I have no signs of letting up either.  I'm at the point where 650+ DVD's is too damn many.  I've been trying to trim the fat so to speak by trading in a few here and there over the course of the last few months.

I put Dune in the other day - I went to watch the extended version but when the credit came up that said "Directed by Alan Smithee" I couldn't do it.  I watched the original cut.

There's rumors floating around that Lynch is going to do his own extended cut at some point - I've also heard that it will be as long as 4 or 5 hours.

I got the same email about Dallas last week - it is, like Jason said, complete bull****.

Can someone refresh my memory... is there an expected time-frame when these should start showing up?  It'd be nice if it was after tax time...
