For the moment at least, I still don't have to play around with my clocks twice a year.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: George Takei comes out
« on: October 30, 2005, 03:14 PM »I like Fark's headline:
"Set Phasers to Fabulous!"
I just find it funny that I keep running into people that think not unlike myself. Not only do I not care with whom or what a movie/TV "Star" sleeps with, I also used that very same headline on a different forum that I post.
You see, I was on this other site posting when I heard the news and thought I would share it and that line was the first thing that popped into my head.

Since ROTS and Battlefront II are being released at midnight Monday, this will be my costume for the evening.
Or I might wear this version of it.
This flight suit has a blue stripe down each side and is worn with a flak vest. Sort of like Baron Fel but in my own favorite color combo. Black and blue. My bro "Kahuna" is the TIE Pilot on the other side of the X-Wing wearing the red stripes of Baron Fel's 181st Squadron. The one standing right next to me is my bro "Caretaker" and between him and Lord Vader is a pilot called "Fayzer".

Revenge of the Sith / Re: #65 Tactical Ops Trooper (501st)

I would have much rather had the #41 SA body as well or heck, even the #6 QD, but all in all I am happy to have the ones that I have gotten so far. In less the 48 hours I went from having none to finding six, being given two more as a gift, and two beyond that in trade. It's ten more of these figures then I thought I would end up with.

OK, I went ahead and bought one. Heck, I loved "Planet of the Apes" figures as a kid so buying this bit of plastic wasn't that much of a stretch.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: Hold Date for Remaining Figs?
« on: October 30, 2005, 12:01 AM »
On the evening 27th/morning of the 28th, I purchased a couple of figures at a Walmart that had just opened on the morning of the 27th and none of the final five figures would ring up either. However, since the store had just opened that day, they had lots of stuff the would not ring up for people so they rang mine up with a default toy number, wrote down the barcode, and charged me the $4.77 price of the couple of SA Clone Troopers I was buying and I was out the door and on my merry way.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: "Evolutions" assortment...
« on: October 29, 2005, 11:48 PM »I still have yet to find one of these...I saw the Anakin evo at KB for a couple weeks, but I refused to pay 25 bucks for it. Maybe I'll get lucky tomorrow. I'm going out with my dad to get his guitar from the repair shop.
The yellow sets have started to become pretty easy to find in and around here as of late. Say the last two or three weeks.

« on: October 29, 2005, 11:37 PM »What will suck is if they leak out the CW sets early, like they're doing with the ROTS sets right now. Guaranteed way to not find Cody.I thought about that as well.

You know, had it been my choice, I would not have painted this figure like it is or anything close to it. However, having said that, I kind of like the ugly little bugger. If anyone who has ordered the little fellow thinks it's just too ugly to keep in their collection, please let me know. I didn't get to order a single one before they sold out (I really thought I would have more time since most people seemed disgusted with the poor little chap) and I would be happy to pay you for the chance to give him and a couple of his friends a good home. Heck, I even plan on opening them up if I can find one.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: Target's "Attack on Coruscant" Clone 5-pack
« on: October 29, 2005, 11:27 PM »
Well, I got my two sets of these, one I paid for and the other was a gift, but I have only opened one set so far and I don't know that I'll open the second. Had they used the SA #41 body or heck, even the QD #6, both sets would be open by now (as in the day I got them) and I'm sure I would have bought several more. Of course, had that been the case, I'm sure I would not be seeing as many of these in the stores as I have as everyone else would be buying more as well. Yes CorranHorn, this was quite a missed opportunity by Hasbro.

Two black Clone pilots from a Walmart West of Dayton, Ohio, one black Clone Pilot from a friend in Kokomo, Indiana, two 501st TAC Ops Clones from a friend in Avon, Indiana and a pretty lady that seems to like me just gave me a sack from Target that had two 501st TAC Ops Clones in it. A good night if I do say so myself.

I now have the final five plus a couple extra #66 & #67 Holo figures for a friend over in Ohio. I also picked up a couple new Titaniums 5 pack gift sets with the silver TIE Bomber.
