Which WW did you hit Jorge? I stopped by the Hudson one last night after work and they had none. Just the movies w/comic books and the Lego game.

I hit the one in Oxford/Auburn. Someone reported on st.com that Bellingham had these last night.

Well, after a bit of unhealthy waffling, I bit the bullet and bought the GG 501st Bust I had on pre-order. It came last Friday and it's super cool with all sorts of extra hands, arms & guns to mix and match. Wormie Jr. sneaks down into my office, points up to it and declares "Dere's daddy's blue Stormtrooper!"

I haven't seen it yet but I am thinking I am going to look into one of those
On Sunday I went down to the Grafton Flea Market and picked up some vintage item.
Action figures: Chewbacca, Yoda ( no cape or accessories ) , Walrusman ( a little beat up ), Snaggletooth (red), 4-LOM, and Prune Face ( no cloak )
I got each one for .50 cents each!!!
Also I picked up the ESB Darth Vader Burger King glass for 3 bucks.
The variant glass from Ohio with the thin decal image and button bottom like on the SW and Jedi glasses. 
And last I found the Star Wars soundtrack double album for 3 bucks.
A few slight scratches but nothing that will interfere with the sound quality.
So I am pretty much sticking to my vintage collecting.
I did see an awesome Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom metal lunchbox with thermos.
It was in great shape but at 50 dollars a little too rich for my blood.

All of my BK glasses are from OH I didn't know that there was a difference. I guess I will have to hunt down the ones that were in the rest of the 50 states now. lol

Nice finds Chris. God, I haven't been to the Grafton Flea in 4 or 5 years. I too have that double album soundtrack. I had it when I was a kid and when my folks moved out of my childhood home, my dad threw away all of the albums we had INCLUDING all of my mom's original Elvis and Beatles records   
Back when the Mrs and I were living on the North Shore we used to go to this AWSOME used record store in Salem called 'The Record Exchange'. Anyway, one Saturday afternoon we were there and I found a copy of the double soundtrack. Got it for I believe $4. Pretty good condition too.

For anyone interested, TF.N has posted some hi-res images of the first wave of the new '30th Anniversary' wave. Some nice looking figures. Since I'm no longer collecting the 3-3/4" line, the only one that interests me is the rerelease of the McQuarrie Stormie. Looks like they changed the figure's deco quite a bit. I actually like it better than the first one.

today I saw a Rebel Soldier from the Naboo/Endor II wave. Not a bad fig. I had some time to kill before I had blood drawn and I figured I might as well stop by the WW in Oxford quick. I may stop by the WW in Westboro and Hudson tomorrow am to see if they have any yet.

Where did you find the car? My son is WAY into NASCAR right now thanks to the 'Cars' movie. He pretty much watched the entire Banquet 400 this weekend from start to finish He has a #17 Matt Kenseth car that he was pushing aound the living room floor while the race was going on, so I figured that I'd pick him up another one this week.

Ah, I thought you may have lucked out and found it on a shelf. If he's still into the NASCAR thing I may think about taking him up to Louden next summer. I know he'd get a kick out of it. Too bad the old Westboro Speedway isn't still in operation.
The Kenseth car was a Christmas gift from his Grammie last year. Not sure who he's a fan of yet although he did like pointing out Dale Jr's #8 car when it would come on screen. I think that might have to do with it looking a bit like 'Lightning McQueen' from 'Cars' though.
