Jared,

That is dissapointing.  I was hoping to replace my upconverting DVD in the family room with the 360, mainly to not have to hide more cables to the wall mounted t.v.

Jared / Josh,

What is you XBOX Live ID and what games are you playing?

My boys and my Live ID is SuperChief1.  We are playing COD 2 online which is a blast!!!

I rented NFS, NBA 2K6 and PDZ.

JoshEEE,

I agree with you about the core, what were they thinking.  On top of the obvious problem with supply and demand half if not more gamers got stuck with the core when they wanted a premium.

Think about the dollars you save on the premium with all the extra stuff.

Avenging Knight,

Congrats, do share your Sams Club experience.

And the results are...

Target - 4:00 AM today appeared there were 16 people in line for a store that got 8 premium and 8 core systems  :(.

Another two Targets - same story  :(.

Costco - 4:45 AM 24 allocated for the store, my son and I were number #25 in line   :-X.

Another Costco - 5:00 AM 24 allocated for the store, my son and I were #20 in line  ;D!!!  I was amazed as this Costco was closer to the city and I was not even going to go there.

Costco bundle = Premium system with 360 unit, wireless controller, hard drive, HD cable, ethernet cable, Live headset plus one game, another wireless controller, plug and play charger and a remote control for $479.99.

I hear most of you on the price.  I was able to sell my boys XBOX and PS2's with games for $350.00 on ebaY so I had no problem with upgrading them for $125.00 or so more.

Looks absolutely stunning on the 50' plasma.

It's getting down to the last 10 hours before launch and I for one am getting excited.  I did not have the foresight to pre-order  ??? so here is my plan.

1) Walmart at 10:00 PM tonight.  My Walmart Supercenter is getting a grand total of like 16.  If more than eight people are in line back home to bed.

2) Target at 5:30 AM tomorrow.  My Target is getting a grand total of 16 as well.

3) Costco at 7:00 AM.  I am an executive member and my Costco is opening at 9:00 AM tomorrow.

4) I ordered a system of Samsclub.com with an estimated ship date of 12/15/05 as my back up plan.

COD2 and NBA2K6 are mine!

Who here is in?  If so, what is your plan and what games are you looking forward to?

I have an extra loose Vader if anyone could use him, just PM me your mailing address.  If not I'll have my wife give it to a kid at the school that she volunteers for.

Jesse James,

Do you still need Boga, I noticed a plush lizard at my local BK today and thought that was odd as I did not know that was part of the 17.

Advise.

Like most collectible I passed on these when they first came out.  BigDumbWookie is sending me all the OT super D's from the first run so I would like to pass around some good collecting karma to my fellow JDer's.

mosnab / Morbug,

I got you covered on the new breathing Vader if you still want one.  PM me you mailing address.

My BK experience below:

1st trip to my local BK in at 7:00 AM and just asked for two Vaders (one for me and one for BigDumbWookie) no problem 99 cents each.

2nd trip in the PM at another BK - a huge waist of time.

3rd trip to my local BK in the AM - clerk was talking with two co-workers with an empty store and told me she could not look for them as she did not have the time???

4th trip to my local BK this AM - the store manager advised me they did not have week 3, then she came proceeded to the back and came back with a sealed box of 200 or so.  I saw her opened the box and there were 50 each of week 3 and 4 Vaders.  I bought one R2 and x3 Vaders for 99 cents each to help out some JDer's.

I have one extra breathing Vader that I would really like to trade for a Chewie, Ben and Stormtrooper from week 1, pm me if anyone can help out.  I'll throw in a few dollars if needed

These little guys are too cool for school.

Brent,

They still have this in stock here.  Not sure if they ship to Canada.

Oh this is embarassing. 

I dragged my ass never ordering the R2 from SWS.com and now they are gone.  Ebay prices are already silly ::) so I'm looking for one or two of these.  I have the two new versions ordered from Robby.jp already, though they won't arrive for months but I'll happily trade either version for one or both for two if anyone has a spare. 

Loser.

I saw the regular PEZ today at lunch at Fry's Marketplace in Arizona.  Fry's is owned by Kroger who also does business as Ralphs.

They were on sale for $1.00 each and had Grievous, Death Star, Yoda, R2 and Vader.  I picked up a Yoda and R2 for my coworkers boys. 

His oldest son came into my office a while back and saw Darth Tater.  I listened to this 5-6 year old tell me all the Star Wars characters names while making  lightsaber sounds. 

Every chance I get to give his dad something I do as I love when I come across a kid fascinated by Star Wars like I was.

From the new wave I plan on only picking up Han.  I was committed to sticking to OT pieces until I came across the Yoda Sidious today and just could not resist  :-*.  It looked too cool for school.

Adam,

I am right there with you, I too like "oddball collectibles."  In fact I won an auction this week for a loose  R2, Stormie, Vader, Chewie, Fett and C3PO for $18.00 shipped.  Seems like the Maul is the "elusive" piece.

Anyone know how these things are packed / shipped?

Brent,

Thanks, I'm bidding on the other set on ebaY now with a crease as well.  I hope I get it for around $100 (fingers crossed).  Only $8.00 shipping in the U.S. 

DBK

Simon has an opener Rebo set up that's a big bargain  Ok, it's still over $100 but it's a great deal if you're less concerned with the packaging.
