Amazon.com has never shipped toys to Canada before, but the website let me put in a preorder!  This will be the first Slave I I've ever owned (I had Jango's back during the SAGA days, but now I get to have the real Fett's version, BMF style too ).

That is a hell of a rough stretch Jesse, I believe our pets are part of our families and it must have tough to lose 2 members so close like that.  My condolences. 

Thanks to Dan for helping me get one of these bad boys.

It's been a while since I've had the pleasure of completing a deal on JD, but I couldn't be happier about this one.  Dan's a great guy to deal with, he was willing to sell me a figure I've been wanting for a long time!

Vinyl Vader salutes you.

A new addition to my Canadian collection, a 77back ERG:

I don't think anyone could have predicted Boston outscoring the Penguins 9-1 in the first two games.  I was so nervous about Pittsburgh's powerful offense, so I'm pretty stoked about the defense stepping up and shutting them down (so far).  But the Pens hit the post so often in game 1, I still think we're fortunate to be up 2-0.  It'll be very interesting to see what happens back in Boston in game 3.

I'm torn on these. The R2 and Sandtrooper look so amazing.

I totally agree.   I think this will be a 'wait to see how they look in person at retail' purchase.

Are any people actually collecting the Angry Birds stuff?  I buy a lot of 'cute' toy lines, but even I have no interest in this (come on, I collected Galactic Heroes and Fighter Pods for crying out loud).
