How long before Rotta is repacked in another set?  I'm willing to guess they'll put him in a battle pack.  Maybe with Ahsoka fighting some IG guards?

I found Faie this morning, they also have the 327th Trooper, is this the same one that was in the Battlepack with Ayla?  I thought this was supposed to be a SL figure.  Was there another figure that was supposed to be in this slot that got bumped?

I think you guys keep stealing carts, so they have to keep them under lock and key is all...

I do agree that if you are going to a store, and you know they have the quarter operated carts, bring a quarter.  Its like leaving your wallet at home....  But I bet enough people complained about them, and they are higher maintenance and cost, than regular carts, so they did away with them.  Plus the one store I'm thinking of was located in its own parking lot that wasn't walking accessible really, so they don't need to worry about hobos walking off with them.

One of the wholesale clubs near here used to do that when I was younger.  When I was 10 or so I remember being excited when you'd find a loose one in the lot, that meant you just got a quarter or a buck, depending on the store.  They've since done away with it, I think too many people complained about the things jamming in the winter, meaning you couldn't get a cart separated from the huge line of them...  Or people having to go into the store to get a quarter, to get a cart.  They end up being a hassle.  Especially since people don't generally go into a wholesale place to buy one item, frequently its $100 plus.

Hey, if the world's largest retailer can't get one where the legs stay on, what makes you so special? :P

And oh yeah, the standardized Walmart rant: shopping carts do not migrate back to the racks on their own.  If you leave yours lying out in the parking lot to slam into my car, don't be surprised when it ends up behind you as you start backing up you lazy sack of ****.  Also there is no real need to lean on a shopping cart and park it diagonally in the bonbon aisle of a Walmart.  A little courtesy extended to others will be returned to you in kind.  A lack of effort will generate something else altogether.   ;)

Damn...that just gave me a great idea for an invention.  Motorized Shopping carts that return themselves!

How about a sensor that detects when a cart is fully emptied, and sits idle for more than 10 second without being taken to a cart return, shouts out "Hey, a$$, how about returning me?" or just goes off like a car alarm or something.

Better yet the system detects which cart is yours at check out, then if you don't return it to the corral, it automatically charges you an extra $5, that way the store can hire another cart wrangler....

I know I'll practically get shouted down for this, since no one shops there, or believes they are still open, but I say KB is doing a toy sale this week.  Galactic Heroes 2-packs are $5.99, Mighty Muggs are $9.99, and if you spend $30 you get a Star Wars shirt, I think its or, you get a $10 gift card to use on your next $30 purchase, atleast that's how I read the ad.

Now thru November 12th, Mighty Muggs are on sale at KB for $9.99, and if you spend $30, you get a $10 gift card to apply to your next purchase of $30 (at least that's what I think the promotion says).  Galactic Heroes are also $5.99.  Don't know if its worth checking, just thought I'd share this sale I saw....

I got Grevious this morning, no sign of Faie though.  They had Bail and his Wife, the Droid and Stass though, I didn't want them so much...

Per the otheR Site, there are rumors of Biggs Darklighter, Ben Kenobi (old man Ben?), Snowtrooper and Bossk.  Still no Padme.

I got in the mail yesterday Walmart's big toy book.  On the first page was the Star Wars toys including the AT-TE, being played with by a little kid.  The center legs, in the catalog were not attached!  They couldn't even keep the legs on for the photo shoot!  Anyone else see this and can post a picture of it?

What do they do when you are reading, or is it after they go to bed?

I want that spacetrooper.  I'm pretty sure that gun is a new mold, looks like a real thumper.  Its pretty neat hasbro is giving us a little more variety in the arsenal.  I'm really excited about some build-a-mechs too.

Also, I'm not sure the droid parts are aligned the way they should be, I don't see which figure the body of the Red R2 is supposed to be with.  None of the pictures on JI have that piece.

I think i'm going to hold off on the head turning Vader and the Shirtless Maul, even though they kick butt, because these are such expensive suckers, for me anyway.  Plus its the one line of Star Wars my Wife really likes and actively encourages me to buy.  She doesn't get buying a character you already have though.  (You shuold have heard me try and explain buying stormies).
