LOL!

(I don't think I've overtly LOL'd here before, though I've LOL'd plenty of times)

Yep, Kirk was Lucky!   :o



Or was it this one?   :o

 

 :D   ;D

Well, he was generous with all the luck. Didn't want to the rest of the ladies to go without!  A true leader.

Sometimes you gotta do that to do this:



For the record, I don't know which ones of these ladies tickled his fancy, and which ones tickled someone else.

Anyone remember the cult classic Lexx???



No, but I will now.

Errr, in case you've ever wanted to see ALL of the original series Star Trek Women, this site should remind you how lucky Kirk was.

Good luck, and if that goal is in fact to extreme, you'll at least see improvements in your health from more exercise.

So what do you guys normally order at BK (if you get food)?

Today I got a Caesar salad w' "tendercrisp" chicken when I picked up a Padme and Vader tie fighter.  No comment on the salad.

If past experience has been any indication, I won't stop at all.   :'(  That's not bad, its just bad on my wallet. I did think I was gonna forgo ROTS, and for the most part I have - only $200 or so spent so far!  It helps not being a completist.

I'm sure I'll keep picking up figures here and there even if the whole line drops in popularity. My interest will last only as long as my love of the movies; however, so that seems like that will keep going for a long time.  I don't see myself giving it up completely.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: Target Figure with Cup Sets
« on: June 8, 2005, 09:49 AM »
I suppose those of us who don't have the Grievous or Clone cup sets are now left out in the cold.


Damn.  :-\

Maybe not, I actually found this entire wave last Friday at Target.  $12.99.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: RotS Figures on Sale Thread!
« on: June 5, 2005, 02:20 PM »
So now its kinda the opposite of the thread title. Here come the hikes. Just today, when I was going over a list of past purchases, I was wondering when it was going to happen.

Those out of the way Wal-Marts have had them priced at $5.88 for at least a month. That's when I first noticed it, early May, at least here in Georgia.

I started breaking down my excel list, and so far Star Wars is looking like this, since January 1st:

Star Wars total: $604.11 ($37.31 is tax)
Episode III Star Wars: $210.01 ($12.67 is tax)

I'm proud - I really have resisted Ep. III! (relatively speaking)

Happy Birthday to you....guys.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: What figures are hard to find now?
« on: June 2, 2005, 10:47 AM »
To me, its noticeably been:

#9 Grievous
#11 Darth Vader
#23 Blue Guard
#23 Red Guard  - never seen it

I see #6 clones here and there which surprises me. Same with the others.

I suppose I don't really notice other characters for some reason, like Anakins or Obi-Wans.

I'd say there's probably different ways Hasbro looks at case assortments.  I'm sure they like having a wide variety of figures available just so there looks to be a good selection on the display.  Our market seems to be focused almost exclusively on army builders, and we all know they'd sell well, and are selling well around here. Maybe to Hasbro we're a narrow market though, and while we buy a ton of figures, maybe they have a strategy of playing to other shoppers, and having pegwarmers could be part of that. In a perfect world I'm sure they'd like to sell everything, but I suppose they don't want the pegs to appear limited to only a bunch of clones and army builders. This could make certain shoppers think "wow, all they have are these few characters, and I'm not really into these generic background characters."  Basically they are trying to please everyone, and that's not gonna happen all the time.

I do think they've improved with the army builders greatly for this launch. Past performance probably hasn't helped the Royal Guard situation. Remember all the Saga red guards there were?  Those didn't sell, did they? I mean the ones I got were on clearance.  They certainly didn't sell like other army builders, and so now there seems to be a greater demand, and they didn't really meet it.

Welcome Amy, this is a good forum.  Glad you could make it over from some other sites; I did the same thing and I made the right choice. I'm with the ASWCC (Atlanta version) too.
