He's off to a good start!
Joined yesterday and he's already scored a nice minty fresh Kubrick from me.
Thanks Justin

Welcome to JD Justin! Our son's name is Justin and we call him JediJman too! Very cute babies, btw
I hope once I start I won't want to go back to carded collecting!
Just wanted to welcome you to the boards Justin, I've seen you post at Fwoosh as well (make sure you check out our Other Toys section!) I currently live in Mankato but have also called: New Hope, Robbinsdale, Crystal, Elk River, Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Hugo and Maplewood all home at some point in my life. So, not sure if I'm a West Sider, East Sider or out-of-towner
... Saved me at rip out actually had I gone that route.
I was seriously considering picking up two more Ties as well, but I went the Bantha route instead. One for me, the other for another local. My order came to $56 - not a bad deal but now I'm thinking I should have gotten the Ties instead. I had no idea their website still had them in stock, but I'm not going anywhere near that $45 price point anytime soon
I broke the habit right around AOTC and am glad I did! I do collect Vader's Carded. because he's been on practically every card. I figure if I have one version of a card in the collection do I need 500? a FF vader looks cooler than a FF Malikilli! Plus it's easier and creates a IMHO nicer display to focus on one or 2 characters carded (Vader, Yoda, R2 and you'd pretty much cover every line, from the original 12 to now, except special circumstances, like AOTC preview, ROTS preview, but you coudl get those astromechs... and then ALL loose.
Here is a US link to the shelves: http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10103&storeId=12&langId=-1&productId=11638
Seriously, that may be the best thing for you...on the other hand, 10 years down the road when you want to display something carded and its open, you'll be kicking yourself. You can ALWAYS open your stuff later, but you can NEVER reseal your stuff - just remember that. Personally, I open one of everything and keep a sealed version of everything, but that's a freaking expensive way to go about this, AND you have even less display space than if you did just one or the other, so who am I to give advice. Good luck in your decision.
I was hearing rumors of some price adjustments showing up in the Target computers, so I decided to check for myself and punch in the latest round of DPCI #s for 30th Anniversary stuff. Here's an update on pricing plans for 2007:
30th Anniversary Basic Figures: 087-06-1990 - $6.99 same
30th Anniversary Darth Vader w/Coin Album: 087-06-0886 - $9.99 (lower price, was $11.99)
Order 66 2-packs 087-06-0884 - $9.99 (lower price, was $12.99)
## Please note that these are the prices here in MN and your local milage may vary a bit...
Not sure how the west-side east-side breaks down for this group. I'm in Golden Valley (still pissed that I missed living in a "New Hope" by just a mile), so that probably puts me in with the W's.
Oh, you're in my neck of the woods. I live in N Plymouth just off of 169.
The whole eas'side, wes'side thing is just a joke we have. We often curse the other side if one gets all the goodies before the other side does. And, I'm sure you've heard it before, we tend to look after each other for figures too, so be sure to list your wants in our "Who's in need" section of our MN forum.
Cute kids, Justin.
