I found 4 today on clearance for $5.00 each. Which puts me at 39.

JD Sports Forum! / Re: JediDefender Fantasy Basketball

Just noticed that I'm near the bottom in terms of number of games played. Is that just because of the way the shchedule is working out? Or am I doing something wrong? I haven't been changing my roster up - should I be trying to get lots of guys to play each night or if I just leave my best 7 guys in will I, in the end, get the same number of games played as everyone else?
Went to my first basketball game last night - Mavs/Wizards - pretty fun, got to watch from a luxury box and see two guys on my team have a big night.
Fun stuff.

Okay - I'm in this year. I've got all my reciepts and will add them up periodically. Rough Estimate, off the top of my head, not including tax:
Animated Clone Wars figures $6.00 x 13 = $78.00
POTC Cantina Wave - $7.00 x 6 = $42.00
Clearance 12" VOTC - 2 x $7.24 = $14.48
Clearance Lego Millenium Falcon - 1 x $55.00 = $55.00
Clearance Lego Mini's - 2 x $1.73 = $3.46
Clearance Lego Mini's - 1 x $2.00 = $2.00
Clearance Lego Cantina Set - 1 x $10.00 = $10.00
Clearance Lego X-Wing - 1 x $10.00 = $10.00
Clearance Cloud Car Pilots - 6 x $2.00 = $12.00
Clearance Hoth Trooper - 1 x $1.18 = $1.18
Clearance VOTC Stormtroopers - 6 x $7.00 = $42.00
Clearance VOTC Stormtroopers (Walmart) - 4 x $5.00 = $20.00
Misc Clearance OTC - 15 x $2.00 = $30.00
Unleashed Aura Siing - 1 x $15.00 = $15.00
Sneak Preview Wave - 8 x $6.00 = $48.00
Darth Maul with Sith Speeder - 1 x $5.00 = $5.00
Darth Maul Deluxe (E1) - 1 x $0.50 = $0.50
Loose Action Fleet X-Wing - 1 x $1.00 = $1.00
Loose Action Fleet Misc - 3 x $3.00 = $9.00
Rough Total 3 weeks into the year: $398.62
Also, if I just spent 85 dollars on shelving - specifically for my star wars collection, with another 75$ or so to go, does that count?

Pretty neat stuff
Because it's 1/8 of an inch slimmer and is way more stylish. Duh!

Original Trilogy Collection / Re: How many VOTC Stormtroopers are in your army?
« on: January 3, 2005, 01:18 AM »I bought every stormtrooper I saw. They were here for a grand total of four days at retail and have not reappeared since. Never mind clearance prices.
I guess I just live in a good area for them... for every 3 I bought, I left 2 on the pegs - and I have 35. I bought them over the course of probably 6 or 7 weeks and saw them quite regularly.
And Paul managed to find a similar amount in the same basic area. They were pretty much everywhere. Not Orn-Free-Taa-everywhere, but certainaly abundant.

Nice work - there was an out of the way Walmart that as of a little over a week ago had about 7 more stormtroopers collecting dust... I think i'll go down at lunch tomorrow on the off chance that they're still there.

There are websites that will charge you like 50 bucks plus shipping - you mail them your CD's, they rip them all and load them onto your IPOD and mail it all back to you.

« on: December 31, 2004, 09:59 PM »I'm back home in So Cal for the holidays and am going to the Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana to check out a special New Years Eve concert featuring Dick Dale and the 5,6,7,8's!
Fingers are crossed that Quentin will be somewhere in the crowd!
Now if the 5,6,7,8's were playing I'd go - as it stands, New Year's doesn't do jack for me. The girlfriend and I are going to watch a movie and go to bed.

« on: December 31, 2004, 11:47 AM »This is a horrible event, more than likely the worst to date in our life times.
In terms of natural disasters you'd be right - in terms of man-made disasters you'd need to remember Rwanda and the Sudan.

I work with a guy who's from Sri Lanka - he tells me his father's beach-house was destroyed - but fortunately for him his family is accounted for. Talking to him for 3 minutes yesterday made this whole thing seem 10 times more real - and less like a media extravaganza.

There isn't even anything that can be said - I can't believe any of this is real.
The estimated death toll has risen to over 125,000 - just in the time that this thread has been around, 9,000 more confirmed dead.
How horrible.
