I took Nicole and Madison up to qualifying for the Sylvania 300 last month. Madison was going crazy for it!


Thompson Speedway in CT is a great track to go to and its not far at all. I went there twice this summer for some fun racing.

Found 2 more 'Cars' cars Saturday morning at the Bellingham TRU. Took my son on the way to our weekly grocery shopping trip and we lucked out grin He's down to needing just one more praying When we were there I saw a couple of the Sarlac Pit Battle Packs. The boxes were in pretty rough shape though.

Chris, if you're still interested in a 501 Bust, someone over on st.com is selling one for $65 shipped.

Has anyone who sent away for the Lucas Stormtrooper figure received it yet? I sent my order form w/pop's and check off about 6 weeks ago and have nothing yet. confused

I received my Lucas Stormtrooper a couple weeks ago. If I remember correctly it took 7 or 8 weeks for it to come in. Hopefully your's will come in better shape. The shell case was crushed, bending the card!

In case you guys haven't already heard, Tower Records is going out of business. I stopped in to the one in Burlington the other day and they are selling stuff at between 10-20% off. Not much of a savings but the selection was still good, including figures and books. I picked up Superman I and II (I was holding out for the box set but I can't find it anymore). That percentage will drop but so will the quality of inventory.

Thanks for the info on the Lucas figure JKJ_D.

I did hear that about Tower Mike, thanks for reminding me. I'm going to be just down the road from the Burlington, MA one on business the next three days. I'll have to remember to stop in there and check out what they have. Maybe do a little early holiday shopping.

while back in OH for a funeral I made a lil hunting trip. Back there they have the new Naboo/Endor II wave filling the pegs at Wally World. They also had the pegs filled with the new Titanium ships and they had the pegs filled with Galactic Heroes as well. I picked up the new Mpire mini ornaments at a Mejiers at there there were 2 packs of 5 one for the Force side and one for the Dark side. Mejiers is the midwest version of Super Wally World it was actually one of the 1st stores of its kind back there over 10 yrs ago. Pretty much started the whole super store thing.

I saw the new wave of Titanium ships this weekend as well. Can't remember where I was though doh! We started our Christmas shopping this weekend and I swear I was at every Target, TRU & WalMart in the area. I think it was at the TRU in Bellingham. That Blue Naboo Fighter is weird looking.

this morning I picked up the Imperial Shuttle from Target in Westboro. The box looks pretty cool. I haven't opened it yet but I plan on doing that at some point. The weekly ad for Target says this is a limited time item so who knows what the will do to demand.

I hit the Milford Target this morning and by accident saw the Shuttle on the end cap.

I kind of forgot about these. I was in Target to get some laundry detergent when I saw them. A little bit away from the main toy section.

I grabbed one and then the last one was taken by some woman.

I saw these said limited time only. How long will they be sold for?

I hope everyone got one that wanted one.

I still remember my original vinatage one from ROTJ back when I was a kid.

I am saving this one for my future Star Wars fan.

Also they had the new wave of figures that I haven't seen until today I picked up the holographic Darth Maul too.

No, just planning ahead that's all.

Any other Star Wars collectibles coming out soon or is the shuttle about it for now?

There's the WalMart exclusive tins with the Cantina Band figures in them. Today at the Bellingham TRU I saw the first 30th Anniversary ships. They had the Trade Fed Tank and the Vader Sith Starfighter.
