Ugh.

My local TRU is FLOODED with these things.  They are piled up 20 deep, right next to the Jedi Warrior 4-packs where I am sure they'll sit until unwitting Grandmas buy them for holiday gifts. 

What a waste of space!  They started out pretty nice with the Imp pack, but then Hasbro had to go and cheap out again.  Way to run this idea into the ground, Hasbro!

Just completed a trade, so I thought I'd show off update where I was at:


Common figures:
  8  Hoth Trooper
35  Snowtrooper
36  Stormtrooper
37  Stormtrooper
38  Stormtrooper
45  Ewok
51  Jawa
57  Tusken Raider
59  Twi'lek Scoundrel

Uncommon figures:
16  Rebel Officer
23  Elite Snowtrooper
24  Elite Stormtrooper
32  Royal Guard - w/bent force pike
33  Scout Trooper
39  Stormtrooper Officer

Pretty good for only buying one booster pack so far. 

I have ordered a few more on-line and they should be here by the end of the week.  I've decided that I don't really need a complete set of these, just going to focus on Imp Troops and my favorite Characters and try to skip the EU stuff.

I'll probably end up trading off most of my Rares and VRs for Imp troops/Han/Chewie so you guys might benefit from my boosters as much as I do

Yeah they haven't shown anything yet, Have Case Assortments shown up yet that have the Scanning Member in it?

Due in September...

Anyone besides Colman go and see Without A Paddle?  I have not...

Guess what movie I went to see tonight...

Yep.  A few scenes with Lillard and friends in nothing but boxers.   

I have to admit that I actually laughed at more than a few parts though.     There were a LOT of SW and Indy references, even vintage 3PO had a small role to play...

Yet somehow, amidst it all, the Twinkies just keep winning...  I just don't get that.  Oh wait, yes I do.  They play in the worst division in all of baseball.  That's right, now I remember!

Sounds like someone's jealous!   

Tele-Marketers.   

I try to be polite because I know they are just doing their job, but after the THIRD "Sorry, I'm not interested", if they are STILL trying to sell me something, I let them have it.

Some dumb bastard from Sprint has called me EVERY ******* DAY this week.  GET A LIFE, RETARD!  STOP CALLING ME!!!

I just turned on Fractional Scoring

There goes the need to worry about Tie-Breakers. 

Thanks for the extra 0.88 points, chief!
