I could only be so lucky. This genetic algorithm genius that I mentioned in the other thread is 50 and has a 20 year old kid. The similarities between us are too close for comfort, and rather than his kid rebelling against the bizarre upbringing he had, he's only grown to do things better and more efficient than his dad.





your kids are gonna build model nukes for science projects!

I'm amazed on a weekly basis of the questing you do to find the things you find. shock

Do you...do something with all the figures you buy, or do they just end up in a plastic tub like all of mine did when I used to collect? confused


Well, yes most of my figures are still stored in tubs for the time being. I am currently working on finishing my basement so I will have enough room to display them all. I know, I know, it is taking forever, but it will get done! I did have everything on display in my old house, but I have accumulated a ton more since we moved. I have my collection of cookie jars & tins over the cabinets in the kitchen, and I have one display case filled with all my Bust-ups, Galactic Heroes & Titanium figures upstairs. Shannon is not a huge SW fan though, so our original deal was that I would have full run of the basement to display all my SW toys. Because we have a baby on the way now the basement has had to be pushed even further down the priority list. I am confident that I will be able to get it finished by Christmas. If so I was hoping to host a meeting sometime, so I would finally have a chance to show off my collection.

Thanks, I can't wait! I just picked up a bunch of munchkin SW stuff at Kohls the other day.

Also, found the newest wave of Galactic Heroes at the Target in Thornton yesterday. This time around Vader w/ removable helmet & Han in carbonite. They are sweeeeeeeeet!

Yea I could have picked up the entrie wave of the new Galactic Heros, but I only picked up two of them. I picked up Han in Carbonite and Leia Boush(sp?), and the two cantina alien set, I think it is Ponda Baba and Snaggletooth. They had the others, but I passed for now.

Super Wally in Northglenn placed out three full cases of TAC figs. They had everything. Got 2 mcFetts and 2 McStorms and one of the rest of the wave. Still a McFett and Storm left and the rest of the wave. Only one I didn't see was the Rebel celemony guard.

Found my 2nd Fett at the Wally World in Longmont today (had to get 2 so I could display one w/ each different head), so I am cought up for now. Sounds like the new comic 2-packs are starting to hit, and wave 3 should start showing up in the next week or two. Between them and the stinking $45 Bantha at TRU, it sounds like it's gonna be another expensive few months!

Found the 2nd wave of comic book packs at TRU in Westy yesterday, and also got the DPCI# for them at Target. It's 087-06-1991 if you want to check the inventory at your local store. Also found the newest wave of Titaniums at the Wal-mart in Longmont today. The new ships in this wave are the V-wing, B-wing (orange deco), ARC-170 (green deco), Plo Koon Jedi Star fighter w/ hyperspace ring, and Obi wan's battle damaged star fighter.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I actually have only managed to pick up 2 of the Comic packs. I still need the one with Obi-wan and the ARC trooper. If anyone manages to find them, and wouldn't mind picking up this set for me, I would be very appreciative.

EDIT #2: Ok, found it today at the Target on 144th and I-25.

Off to bed. But before I do...

Classic Transformers Soundwave Commemorative Edition

And and AND...

Grimlock (New version, but IMO this one's actually an improvement on the old design)
