Today 3000 Yen = $26.97 US

Not bad, not bad.  Around $3.50 each, not counting shipping, I guess.

HLJ has been good for most of us ordering Kubrick's.  Dale orders a fair bit of other stuff from them as well.  I've also ordered other Tomy items and have been completely satisfied with them.  Shipping is fair for overseas.

www.hlj.com, I'm guessing?  I'll check them out.

I'd grab two sets and sell off the spares.  JMO of course, but easier than trying to chase one down.  I guess it depends on what the spares are.  If it's the mystery piece, two sets for sure.  Jawa or Tusken maybe ebay as they might not be the hot pieces.  

Well, it was the Tusken I was wanting a double of, actually.  Hmmm. . .

Thanks for your help, Brent!

Took some pics of this wave last night for some stuff we are working on here. . .

Pictures of Star Wars figures on a blue background--what an original concept.

 

Yeah, that's right.

I think this is a good idea.  It will make all of us McDonald consumers order more healthy things, and will also reduce the risk of any heart problems.  We will not have so many stuff to choose from I heard.

Yeah, you're exactly right.

Now, Fatty McGee and family, seeing as how they can't have their usual bucket of French Fries along with their horsemeat-and-corn flake burgers, will all of a sudden come to their collective senses, and order some healthy salads all around, sans dressing, that they'll wash down with some icy cold V-8s.

And then they'll all go work it all off at the gym, instead of the typical "let's spend the rest of the day watching Full House re-runs" schedule. . .

Thanks, Ronald!  We love you!

So, in case you haven't caught it, here's word from The Digital Bits yesterday regarding the Star Wars art:

"First of all, we've spoken with those in the know (the right people, you'll have to trust us on this) and have learned that the Star Wars DVD box art that's been circulating around lately is "work in progress" ONLY stuff that should NEVER have leaked on the Net. These are apparently very early concepts - stuff that we weren't meant to see - and the final packaging is likely to be quite different. This kind of thing happens all the time - that a company working on marketing designs for packaging, or even poster or cover art, will do many, many different concepts as they hone in on the final design. So while these packages are sort of the real deal, they're really not if you get our meaning. Anyway, that's the unofficially official word - take it as you will. We will, of course, post the final box art as soon as it's released by Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox."

Dang it, I'm wanting to buy those Family Guy sets...did you buy them yet?  I'd like to wait a while though, my DVD purchases have created a huge backlog of watching material

Hell no, dude, haven't bought 'em yet--was waiting on a response from you.

Besides, I've got like, eleven DVDs on the way right now--need to let my credit card cool off a bit before I order some more.  

But yeah, just let me know when you're ready to pull the trigger on Family Guy. . .

Of course you had to play for the Trojanz

Yeah, I didn't live in the Rough Riders district. . .

 

BTW, I think that's a charge on Fatty B. in that shot there.

He wasn't set.

Go get some sun, Birchall...  

Got a spare bedroom?  Or at least a couch?
