Shawn, are you talking about the extreemly long packages with the Empire Strikes Back figures? I saw several yesterday at Target.

Yepper those are the ones. That is the last (to get) item on my ESB list.

[Clonehead]

I will put my feelers out for em as I prowl the isles tomorrow, buddy.

My brother sent my this Halmark ornament in the mail this week. This snowspeeder looks great and has several voice and sound effects recording of Luke's defense of Echo base on Hoth.

That looks cool Clint. I will have to let Santa know that would be a good gift for me. I really ought to do just a Star Wars tree one year. I know I have enough halmark ornments now for a regular sized tree.

[Luke Sprywalker]

That is a great looking snow speeder! It also looks about the size of the action fleet vehicles. Do you have any of them to give us a comparison shot Clint? Tamer I am with you, we also need a second tree for all our SW ornaments. Most of them are on a small tree in Jaxon's room but I have a pretty decent size box of them in the attic that are not even in use this year. My wife said let's not use them this year, it is christmas not Luke Skywalkers birth day! haha Don't worry my Christmas Yoda and R-2 and C3 are proudly displayed on their stands!

[Tamer]

it is christmas not Luke Skywalkers birth day!

I swear I heard that same quote from my wife a few xmases ago. Swear it! Thanks to you I finally have my falcon back. All those ornaments you got me are now on my tree. My little girl likes the stormtrooper one the best. She even took it into school for her show and tell. Hilarioius.

That being said, I will get this thread back on track by stating that my bust is on its way. Yippeeee! Pat and I were both wowed by this one when we saw it live at CV.

I have a crap load coming my way this week, and I wish I was home on Friday for UPS to get here so I didn't have to wait again!  I have the Sideshow Collectibles 12" Blackhole Stormtrooper on its way, along with a 2-1B mini bust and the ANH Luke Skywalker mini bust.  I honestly don't know which item I'm most excited for.  Thank the Maker I have 2 part time jobs to pay for this stuff, because GG is going to bleed me dry this month alone!  I think I still have 3 or 4 more busts coming this month!

[Tamer]

Well Pat, it seems to either be feast or famine with GG doesn't it! Still, the quality on most of their stuff is amazing.

[Tamer]

I got my 21-B Bust today and it is awesome. It arrived pristine and there wasn't a ding on any part of it. What a great looking bust.

[Phatty]

I agree, Shawn.  Mine came yesterday as well, and it looks so awesome all lit up!  I need to snap some pics of it and get a review going, but I also realized I'm behind still from CV with mini bust reviews...this isn't going to be pleasant...

LOL. I just decided now I am gonna have to have both versions of the Hoth Leia and the Blue Coat Han Solo. Talk about unpleasant to my wallet! I am glad MWC has a deal going on now.

[CloneSniper78]

Picked up Mando pack, scout tank with tactical droid, and Dack.

[CloneSniper78]

Picked up the Target exclusive Attack on Hoth pack today!!! I also picked up another AT-AT Commander so I can transfer his armor to the AT-ST Driver.

I managed to get some more new stuff over the weekend.
I bought my first Vintage collection figure... first for myself anyways.... skiff guard Woof. Really brings back memories, and this one is so much better than the original... at least to me.
I also picked up R4-P44 and another camo ARF trooper... with vehicle clone cash....
Makes me feel like Mel Gibson's character from Conspiracy Theory... every time I see an ARF Trooper I feel the need to buy it, just like him and his book. Sometimes I do and others I dont... more often i do.
I also got a few more figs off ebay... I picked up the IG-88, Zuckuss, 4-LOM, and Dengar Galactic Heroes because I just couldnt resist them for $1 each, another pair of Captain Rex figs( Ihave more Rex figs than Arf Troopers), another ARF trooper( Dooohhhh), Snow Rex and I finally managed to get a Thi Sen figure.
