And the same as with LOTR.  Granted, I knew it was coming, but I couldn't wait to get the first version and now don't want to part with the funds for the 5 pack.  Going to wait for the trilogy 18 pack

Presumably Indiana Jones will be repacked and bumped to an 8 (or so) set after IV comes out.

Damn Brad, you had to go and make me like you.  Not much, but at least enough to tolerate you and those furball things

Zeppelin would be in and out of the top five for me.  Usually in.  I have all the CDs having parted with vinyl some time ago (well, the last 100 albums went last year including some Zep).  

Favorite album would be I with Ramble On as a favorite song, but there really are so many.

Zeppelin was a huge favorite for me growing up.  For those who don't know me, I would have been about 15 when Bonham yakked himself to death.  We had tickets for the concert in Minneapolis and I was seriously pumped.  Going with a couple of buddies two years older than me.  Very, very sad day when he died.

For the other oldsters and probably only Bob and Dale can appreciate this (well, Bob might be too old ) but I vividly remember junior high (yep, 77-79) dances and the last song was almost always Stairway to Heaven.  The funniest part was some of the dances were done with the use of 8-track players (google it if you don't know, it's good for a laugh).  Of course 8-tracks in all their glory had uncerimonius switches in the program, four per tape, IIRC.  These would be represented by a large clunk-whirrr-clunk with the music dying at the start and then ramping up again.  That ALWAYS occurred during the part of the song where you basically got the nerve to get real close to the girl and maybe even put your hands on her back (*gasp*).  So there you are and the song is running...and she's buyyyyyyyying the Stairyway to heaven CLUNK... whrrrrrrrr....CLUNK...and the music starts up again.  I'm sorry I can't remember the exact passage in the song but it was pretty priceless, dramatic and mood ruining.  Shortly after the track switched the song sped up and everyone got confused as to whether it was a slow dance or a fast dance.  It was instructive to know whether the girl liked you or not.

THAT was fast.    Ducks take it 1-0.  7 game series here we come.  Steve Thomas :39 into OT.  Former blackhawk?

Great break by Anaheim, very pretty play but Brodeur made a superb save, giving up a big rebound and then let the shot in the five hole.  Oops.

Undergrad: University of Dayton:  B.S. Mathematics & Physics. Yeah, 2003 Atlantic-10 Basketball Champs baby!

Grad: University of Colorado-Boulder: M.S. Applied Mathematics and slaving away towards the PhD currently  

Well, I'm impressed.  At least it was this instead of this

MS and PhD rolled together or separate?

Nicklab, same goes for you.  I can't necessarily promise anything with respect to variants, but if there are just a few regs you need, I'll happily help you out C&S.  

Where are you Spuffy?  I'll check a couple of the local stores.  I doubt he's around, but if he is I'll let you know what they're asking.  Sometimes you get lucky.  I managed to score my McFarlane repaint Cujo (only NM though) for $75 Cdn at a retailer when it was going for over $100 US on ebay.  At the time $100 US was around $150 or so Cdn, so you can imagine how happy I was.  Just missed a repaint Roy at the same store for the same price too

WEll, there you go.  Are the cardbacks going to be different, or will they have switched to the clone wars by then?  Presumably all the new version.

Good old University of Manitoba (go to Scott's alma mater and drive 8 hours north ).  

Bachelor of Science - Zoology major, botany and statistics minors

Bachelor of Science in Agriculture - Entomology major

Master of Science - Entomology Major.

Currently mulling a PhD offer from Kansas.  Trying to work it with minimal time away from work and paid at that.  Like you Matt, I do not enjoy a decreased income.  I did my time as the poverty stricken student.  Never again.
