I am guessing we're going over to my gf's friends tomorrow night... 

I sorta am hoping I'm back for the South Park marathon though.  I don't really wanna be out and miss that.  :-\  Is that wrong of me?

It's bordering on very political as, many people actually agree with his line of thought in this country and outside it, so I'm not trying to be a prick guys but it is politically charged to not like him for his political beliefs and comment on such...  Commenting on his acting, hey whatever.  The basic point is, calling him a tool because of how he feels about the US is like calling anyone who thinks like him a tool.  There's some people I'm sure do around here, so I'm asking just to lay off the political stuff, it's something we cut from the forums a long time ago because of the problems it inevitably caused...  It's a much more harmonious forum without it when everyone gets along without entering their political beliefs...  All is right with the world, yada yada yada...  :)

I know I have a Patton head for similar thinking with customs I'd like to make....  Patton Imperial/Rebel Officers seem like a cool idea.  I wish I had a Rommel in this scale for a Rommel Imperial/Patton Rebel.

Yeah Jason, the ARCs sat and sat here from day one...  Not a big seller.  I thought it was that way for most people by what I'd read around the net over the year.  Gunships were impossible to find of course but the ARC was everywhere.  If you couldn't nab it at Target or WM it was guaranteed at TRU.  I saw some there just the last time I was there (before X-Mas).

Now the AT-RT, that was a vehicle that sold phenomenally well.  I mean, I saw it but it never lasted long...  I got 2, and now wish I'd bought a 2nd Wookiee Copter.  Great ships.

As far as the cases, from what I know of what my local buds that collect carded have said, the Target cases were WAY overpriced.  They get cases in bulk and split them up though (I've gotten my cases for a lot of my Silver figs from them) and it comes out to like $1 a case or less I think...  Real cheap though.  If I saw the Target ones real cheap I'd maybe get a set just cuz I need some right now.

The B-Wing I saw as cheap as $20 before it FINALLY dried up around here.  Some Targets had those stacked to the ceilings.  Like others though I'm sure distribution was hit or miss.  I know some people think the Y-Wing was a shelfwarmer but I never saw it and Target was brand spankign new around Pittsburgh.  Just never know if it's gonna be rare or not I guess.

He's there...  very young, but he's there.

Dale beat me to it, but he was the (I think) interpreter at the village... 

I can't wait to make a hard-ass looking Imperial Officer wtih the Sgt. Barnes head.  I mean, you just can't get better than that.

BTW

I merged the "2006 Fodder" thread with the Fodder alert thread...  Keep all the fodder talk in one thread I figure, it'll keep things simpler.

Just a heads up,

The 21st Century figure line has a license to the movie Platoon to make figures of the actors/characters in that film along with some vehicles.  The good news?  Yes, you will have a Tom Berenger (all scarred up) Sgt. Barnes head for fodder...  You will have a Charlie Sheen head, you will have a Johnny Depp head, and a Willam Defoe head even.  Lots of great fodder...

The bad news?  Finding 21st figures is a pain in the backside for many.  I still have yet to see a lot of them, especially the Japanese.  Wal-Mart's just attrocious at distributing 21st's stuff, however they may be seeing other retailer outlets as well as etailers (which they've always been at).

Enjoy...

I'd agree E, except that the RS logo's all over the place...  It's still part of RS thent o me.  To me, the actors didn't need OP, they did fine on their own, this just sort of introduced a middle-man and you pay as much (or more) for auto's now and you're forced into buying that "piece" of a site you don't want (or I don't want anyway).

That's my beef...  It's a business though and that's fine...  But the whole place is becoming one.  I mean, starcases?  hah...  Whatever "helps you keep the site running" I guess.

Happy Birthday Jared...  Man, these bdays so close to X-Mas have got to cut into your hauls...  Makes me thankful for mine being at the end of Summer.

That's my thoughts man...  This isn't a business to me, it's fun...  I don't wanna charge my fellow collectors for autographs, nor slap my lameass logo on the picture (which is why I won't ever get an auto from that "company").   There's no integrity with some people in this hobby.  Hell, half the time scalping was being condoned openly on their forums.  You can't stop it, but don't welcome it with open arms...  Have some pride for Christ's sake.

Time to move onto BattleStar Galactica or the hoped for Hobbit movie I guess!   ::)

BTW Greenday's someone we're generally well aware of, contrary to elsewhere.  At the moment it's like a cat toying with a mouse...  So to speak.

Much the same way everyone wants vehicles till they see the outrageous ass stretching prices Hasbro and/or the retailer decide to charge.  B-Wing comes to mind, which I saw hit several stages of clearance due to the $40 pricetag...  Hell, even ARC-170's didn't sell and that was a new sculpt. :)  I had a tougher time tracking the Tri-Fighter, AT-RT, and Wookiee Copter's down.

But we all want that $80 AT-TE right?  ;D
