F you for clogging the pegs of my local store with Bib Fortunas for the next three months. Jackasses.

I'll totally agree with you there Jared.

I don't want to get into whether it's right or wrong, but it sure sucks ass when you go to Target on a Saturday and find 1x Poggle and 1x Derlin on the pegs, only to return to the same Target on Wednesday to find 11x Bib Fortuna, 3x Derlin, and 3x Barada hanging on the pegs.   

You know there is no case assortments that could have arrived in the last two days to get to that point, and you know it's going to take weeks to unload all those Bibs. 

The best part comes when those same inconsiderate people then feel they have the right to piss and moan when they can't find the Coruscant wave at Target next month...   

A 'heads up' for you GG Mini-Bust collectors...

From YodasNews:

Gentle Giant Exclusive Anakin Mini Bust
Our Bothan Spy reports in that at the end of this month, there will be an Entertainment Earth Gentle Giant Exclusive coming out for pre-order, on or around 2/28/06. It's going to be a Revenge Of The Sith Vader bust with Anakin's crispy head. It will be limited to 5,000 pieces, and will be selling for $49.99 only on Entertainment Earth's site. As usual, our spy reports could change, but so far they are 5-for-5!


Don't know if this is real or not, but you might want to be around a PC that day if you "gotta have 'em all" when it comes to GG.

Stick a fork in us...

Intellectually, I knew the USA didn't have much of a chance, but you always have to cheer for your team, right?   

Oh well... I guess I'll jump on Slovakia's bandwagon now.   

On the contrary, I'd love it.  Ottawa sucks, and the last thing I ever want to see is that egotistical excuse for a team win anything.

Well, since I have Hasek as my #1 goalie on my NHL fantasy team, I have to care about him and Ottawa.

Go Senators!   

I never thought I'd care which holo figure I got, but having a matching figure and holo kinda seems cool. 

Yeah, I've found myself preferring those matches too.  Makes it easier to try to find the "best match".

Here are some of the "cool" combos I have.  I tried to find the "coolest" mini-holo for each figure (which I realize is uber-nerdy  ):

Carkoon Wave:
Han w/Han Holo
Chewie w/Han Holo
Fett w/Fett Holo

Hoth Wave:
R2 w/Luke Holo
Veers w/Vader Holo
"Standing" Vader w/Emperor Holo
"Saber Drawn" Vader w/Vader Holo

Yeah, I have some duds that make no sense (Derlin w/Amidala Holo), but I try for a cool combo when I can...

"It's an invisible army."

About time we had a thread to capture all the deatils on this show...

edit:
Forgot to add that you can put me down as #1 on the list of those seeking help on the SDCC Exclusive Hasbro SW figure for this year.  It hasn't been confirmed or anything yet, but you know it's coming... 

(Jeff makes a mental note of what to steal the first, and most likely last, time he is invited over to Jayson's house to see his new Star Wars Shelf set-up)

Wow, Jayson, this is sooo cool.  You know you are going to have to have us all over to show this thing off once it's done.
