Hey Connie -- in light of the recent update about Hallmark's new line of SW and Indy ornaments for 2008, here is a site that I thought you might be interested in seeing:

I like the X-Wing and the Royal Starship. Have to see about getting those when the times comes.

Ohhh, love the X-Wing and Falcon! Might have to break my "dont' collect stuff" rule for those.
This time change is killing me. I'm awake too early and it's dark. I'm sure I'll be loving it tonight when I leave work in daylight though.

It was so tough getting up this morning. It was dark, and very spooky.

I hope that poster is available for purchase.
It would look awesome next to TCW poster that I got at CIV.

Justin...Thanks for the link, looks like the tax return will get some workout...lol. As for the waiting in line...I love it, because the 501st comes out and there is a big get together. I go for the ambiance...yet with kids...I may be opting for some fandango.com tics...lol.
I love that poster Val. I sure hope that will be available for us fans, would be neat.
Val...dying for some C5 news here...any luck?
Oh, had to share this too...I belong to a coupon site and I have totally geeked it up with all my Star Wars puns and quotes. Just to give you an idea...My taglines are: Obi Won Couponi and "Never will you meet a more wretched hive of coupons and frugalty." They have been loving my sense of humor and love for Star Wars. I was even featured in the newsletter...lol. Just had to share...lol.
Love ya guys!!!

I have mixed feelings about the poster. I still don't like the style of the animation all that much. Uncanny valley and whatnot.

Re C-V -- haven't heard anything new, Connie. My source is gearing up for Comic-Con, and they're kinda busy with that at the moment.

I bet your feelings on the animation style will change once you see TCW in a digital theater, and then at home on a big HDTV.

I can't believe that the value of the R2 and ships ornaments have increased so much. Does anyone realize that the ships are minatures? I have all of them but my favorite is Vader.
Yay! I can't wait for TCW to come to the theatres.

The Hallmark SW ornaments have always been pricey, even when they are first available at retail Hallmark stores. Occassionally you can get lucky and find them on clearance for $10 or $15 a piece (at least here in the NY area).
But I hear ya - it's a hefty price to pay to collect 'em all.

In general I don't like the look of alot of the ornaments, therefore I do not collect. A few have caught my eye, but not enough to start anything.

I've collected all of the SW Hallmark ornaments. The only way I can afford it is by putting them on lay-a-way when they premier in July. That way I've got 6 months to pay them off and the total price isn't so hard to come up with.
Of course, I've purchased a lot of ST and Harry Potter ornaments along the way, too. The sad thing is that I hardly put any of them out on the Christmas tree. There's just too many of them and they're so darn big! Gotta have them anyway... it's a sickness!

I totally know where you are coming from, Puppy. I have all of the Star Wars ones and only the Star Trek ships because the rest was just getting out of hand. I also have a bunch of the HP ones. I have enough Hallmark ornaments to cover three trees. It is a sickness. My original Hallmark store closed and they were always so cool to me because they knew me and my order. My newer Hallmark store finally knows who I am. It's kind of cool. I have to save up for the July premiere.
