So I ripped my first movie for my ipod.  I was pretty pissed that they didn't have Star Wars in iTunes, so I took matters into my own hands.  I now have A New Hope downloaded and am in the process of ripping The Empire Strikes Back.  I plan on putting all 6 Star Wars movies, The Matrix trilogy, and The Lord Of The Rings trilogy on my iPod eventually.

Big thanks need to go out to BrentS who hooked me up with the programs.

I received a Second Chance offer on a 2007 box set Snowtrooper figure today.  The funny thing about this is that the last auction I remember bidding on from this seller was about 2 weeks ago...  Whatever, I'm now done with that box set, total purchase price, $235...

Both of my sons are going to freak when I tell them that there's going to be another Buzz and Woody movie coming out.  And they are going to love the fact that they can go to the movie theatre to see the other 2 when they are re-released!

I don't have any of the SW bears yet so maybe this will be a good time to get started...  I think these look great.

So I'm leaning toward keeping the Luke carded.  Before I e-mail Oscar about buying some cases, does anyone have any extras that they would be willing to part with for a nominal fee?  Let me know.  Thanks.

I think I'm going to have to get some extra force lightning from the Series 4 Emperor Palpatine to have Dooku displayed with force lightning as well...

Also thinking of a few more custom possibilities with these figures...

There are so many figures that I think would make good chases with this Series.  Due to the Geonosis Arena Battle, any one of the Jedi could make an appearance as a chase in the Anakin, Obi-Wan or Yoda boxes, but I think that the most obvious one would be Mace Windu.  I think Kit Fisto would make a great Kubrick.  I think that we could see a Palpatine or one of the Separatist Leaders as a chase in the Dooku box.  I could also see them doing a young Boba Fett, a fatigues Clone or an ARC Trooper in the Jango Box.  Since we are supposed to get a Clone Trooper Captain in the box set, I could see them throwing one of the other three repaints in as a chase in the Clone Trooper box.  Soooo many possibilities...

So I've been reading through this thread again and I have a question for most.  Other than Jeff who's made his position rather clear, is anyone else planning on opening their carded figures?  I just got the carded Luke figure and don't know if I'm going to keep it carded or open it up and put it in with the rest of my display.  I can see keeping the Bape Fett, Parco Jorg, Carbonite Han and the Vader carded based on the release quantities, but it's the ones that were released in quantities of 1000+ I'm struggling with.

Thoughts?
