I got my new one for free....but for the record, my power supply never burned my house down. 

Same here. Thanks for that info about it shutting off, I didn't know that. I guess that's why my cord shut off once a few months ago...

What the hell was I thinking when I wrote my previous post?

Since then, a new place has opened around town called Mangia. It's Chicago style deep dish pizza, and it's damn good. Everything is homemade, which makes it even better.

Pretty uncool they have the ****** Canadian non-picture cardbacks though.

Damn, what a bunch of blowouts today! Texas over Colorado, and USC over UCLA. USC/UT will be a damn good game.

Picked up the twins at Wal-Mart, and got another Shadow Trooper, a 501st trooper, Meena Tills (finally!), and a Red Royal Guard (finally!!!) at Target.

Damn, I LOVE the Veers and AT-AT driver. I'll be getting multiples for army building and possibly customs. Speaking of customs, anybody think a good Rieekan could be made from the Derlin body?

Here's my buy/pass list:

BUY: Veers, Derlin, AT-AT Driver, Gonk Droid, R2-D2 (because of the accessories)

PASS: Vader (have enough, looks like a 500th rerelease), Snowtrooper (waiting for an SA version), Rieekan (have one already, unless someone can make a custom using Derlin)

This was good, damn good! I really enjoyed the look of the pictures. The story was good too, it sounds like it'll be leading to an even better one! Great job.

Happy birthday!
