You got it simdog.

We had our PSWCS west meeting today and everyone seemed to be getting the figs basic and deluxe, unleashed, foprce battlers, etc.

multiple Kmarts in my area have stocked the shelves as of last night.  I'm just happy no one had to pay more than retail to get these early. (even thought the K tends to be more $ than the other stores)
 

I'm sure the clones will be the tougher ones. (army builders always are) clones are just sooo darn popular.

Got the 24 basic, unleashed, force battlers, and deluxe today.

A little note, a local Kmart will be putting them out later tonight hint hint Jesse? listening? ;^)

Check out my fist pic, mocking the April 2 release date a little.

Anyone else collect SW Mardi Gras stuff?

I got talking to one of the guys (Gary) over at the PSWCS, and lately have kinda been into the MArdi Gras stuff, mostly the doubloons.

Anyhow, I have 2 coins from '79 and '82, and an R2 necklace '02, and was wondering if anyone else was into this stuff.  Kinda hard to find cheap, kinda up there for what you get, but fun nonetheless.

The other item I;ve been trying to find cheap is the Yoda/Bourbon Street poster from years ago (I know...good luck)  every so often one hits ebay for some $$$, been snooping around New Orleans on my trips there and no luck on any of this stuff.

Ooh, thats a very nice Xerox box with feather duster.    J/K

Man, thats in very nice condition, Congrats on acquiring this piece of nostalgic history. 

Thanks, and check out the condidtion on that "Pullman" egg box...don't see too many in that condition these days do ya ;^)

Been wanting it for years, and it took an extra few weeks, but it was worth it!

Got my Han today as well... actually they were delivered a few days ago, but I sent them to my job and today was my first day back to work after missing a few with a bit of the flu.

Got #491 and #1411 - gave #1411 to my buddy who didn't get a chance to order one, and he just happened to walk into my store today while I was admiring them.

This just begs to be asked - I placed both of these orders within minutes of each other (placing the second one only because I didn't know if the first one went through or not). How in the hell did I end up with 2 busts numbered almost 900 from each other? I would have thought that they just have these all lined up in cases, in numbered order, and just pack them as they got the orders in?

My understanding is that they are pulled off of pallets, not in numerical order in any way.

Picture a pallet that has hundreds on it. Next to another pallet that has hundreds on it.  You could easily get 2 off of 2 pallets that are side by side(and the ones side by side might not even be next to each other number wise).

Same thing happens in my industry also (I see it with manuf. dates) you could easily get two of the same product next to each other on the same order with 2 different production dates.

My 3-packs of Stormtroopers arrived from SWS.com today.  Naturally, no Blackhole Stormie for me.  That's OK though, I'm not too sure I'm going to even consider that they exist, it's just easier that way.   

I'll have to play with them tomorrow and see how many configurations I can get out of the 9 that I received.

Yeah, I thought maybe since they sent me a beat up box they'd be nice enough to throw one in ;^)  no luck.
