bad news
this is what happens when ryan and i get the same addiction at the same time. we walked into zellers to get new pillows. how we managed to get over to the toy section, i don't know. i admit, we had an inkiling that something like this would be over there.
there's the display case. so many action figures to choose from. it started with r2-d2. anyone can justify an r2-d2 toy. but, there's c3p0. can you really leave him here alone? then of course if i get two, ryan get's to pick two for himself. obi, mace. but...who are they going to be fighting exactly? they can't fight each other...there needs to be a bad guy. but there are three different palpatines to choose from and vadar is all sold out.
and it went from there. if you have a collector's gene in your blood, the moment you find out that something is sold out at a toy store or a comic book store, it's definitely on.
i wont tell you how many we have. but they make them just cheap enough so you can get a few and feel really rewarded and it takes a lot of time to open them and set them up...but then you start looking at them and thinking: i think i saw an r4-g9 figure and it had a hologram shooting out of its head or ryan will say something like: wouldn't it be cool if we had the wookie warrior to go over here?
i think we are starting to kick it, though. i think when ryan said...we can get two clone commanders, i haven't seen them anywhere else...we knew we had pushed it too far. if you have two clone commanders, how many clone troopers are you expecting to buy?? also, it's a little embarassing going into toy stores and sitting beside little kids endlessly flipping through racks. the cashier guy always: do you need a gift receipt? are you sure you don't need a gift receipt? always that same smirk on his face.

The Chewbacca rules!!!
You guys are so funny. I know I'm not one to talk.
ha ha. it's hard enough sharing them between the two of us :)
oh and the chewbacca is really cool and they have his friend tarrful too!
Are there any little kids you could borrow for cover? I used to do that to go toboggoning (it's one of those activities that once you're an adult you can't just show up and ask to play)
