What do you suggest? What are you looking for?

 

Me? I'm a going for this: http://shop.starwars.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=1308446;category_id=346;pcid1=;pcid2=&rid=SWFEATURE46

The new Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia.. yummy. I still have the 1997 encyclopedia too.

Well mine is much cheaper, but I already broke down when I was renting a movie at Blockbuster and bought a Clonetrooper bobblehead for $5.

I always ask for at least one of the Hallmark Christmas ornaments each year. This year its the Palpy one.

After reading Lucas axes fan's SW images gallery, I'm feeling abit vindictive , and after seeing a "transformer" SW item, I'm wondering if GL "paid" the right people to use their idea for his stuff to make $. Otherwise, hopefully whomever holds the "transformer" rights will sue the snot out of GL and give hime a taste of his own medicine

 

Luca$ Art$ and Micro$ith have all turned into money grubbing scum (watch closely as GL transforms himself into Jabba). This year, my SW purchases will be fewer yet (again) as my original OT memories fade further into oblivion (and GL does nothing to keep them alive) ...

 

Dang-nabbit, I hate rants

 

Merry Christmas all, and may your shopping dollars spend well!

Those Transformer Star Wars toys bug the hell out of me... they have no connection to cannon, but I suppose that an eight-year-old probably doesn't really care all that much- it's just something that looks "cool." All the same, it's sad to see that something so stupid as a Death Star that transforms into a winged Darth Vader is selling so hot. If there's a Luke Skywalker doll that transforms into an X-wing, or a Chewbacca/Han Solo doll that turns into the Falcon, I may have to plan a strike mission against hasbro and LucasArts.

 

So far as my own Star Wars-based gifts go, I'm sort of hoping for a copy of Millennium Falcon. I'm too ashamed to really ask for it (my folks seem to prefer books by folks like Thoreau more than Luscendo), so I'll probably just wind up buying it with holiday cash (assuming I get any). Personally, that's all I really go for these days- the books. There's a large collection of nineties-based "Special Edition" toys that we collected up in the attic from when my sister and I were younger geeks, but now that she's on to college and I'm on the verge... not so much.

Well of course it should bug the hell out of you! I mean, let's be honest here... it's the Death Star turning into Darth Vader. I mean, it's the epitome of stupid! Any man who, in their right mind, purchases such a thing should be shot straight up!

 

Oh and Thoreau is great -- but only if you don't game. I mean, the whole I'm going out and living in the wild and taking care of myself bit doesn't include a power source for your 1000w computer.

Ugh- I hated what I read of Walden (two chapters, then I felt I was going to vomit all over the book). I find your words amusing, though. I now picture the men of yesteryear, wandering about in homespun clothing, shouting "n00b!" at the guy they have just pwned on Doom online.

Haha, that'd be so embarrassing.

 

I think after Rebellion 2 I'll start work on Walden Online. An MMORPG that is set in a forest with absolutely nothing to do.
