A couple quick things about new Star Wars toys! :)

On Wednesday, I spent too much money. This is what I now have:
- Chibi Grievous and Obi-Wan! *grin*
- Clone Wars cartoon Asajj Ventress (aka "Sith Chick" around these parts)
- Star Wars Trivial Pursuit: 6 movie 'Saga' DVD Edition... which I played yesterday with my parents and I cleaned up. I'm planning on owning my siblings tonight. :D

(Aside note: With all the RotS footage on the Trivial Pursuit DVDs, I'm surprised I haven't come across screencaps from them yet! Hmm...)

I really really wanted the ARC trooper or even just the normal Clone Trooper, but I couldn't find them. :( Will be keeping an eye out for 'em now! :D I love clones. But with my Grievous figure, I've gone from owning 0 action figures to 4 actions figures in just a couple weeks. And this is after I told myself I wouldn't buy action figures. Or comics. o_o Both those rules have been 'bent' recently. Apparently, Clone Wars cartoon comics don't "count", and neither do "cute" or "awesome" action figures. Haha. Don't you love rules made for oneself?

In addition, my sister got a Vader lightsaber! So we were dueling a bit. Lightsabers are awesome. I'm so happy I have mine, even if it would have been cheaper to buy it from Costco than order it online.

It's also been a time of finding random SW stuff around my room. I had forgotten that I had TPM napkins and AotC wrapping paper. *grin* Hehe.

Ack! Can't....finish.....post!
You make me so jealous! You get all the good stuff man. I'm dying for both LOTR and SW DVD Trivial Persuit games. Currently I have normal LOTR TP and my brother has normal SW TP. And I want one of those lightsabers!!! lol

those sabres are mad expensive though....

but I prefer the action figures to the animated ones - would complement star wars army

OMG - the falcon lego set is $100.....and i want that and the clone tank so bad :(. damn my lack of current available cash with me, why cant the action figures be cheaper than $5 and the lego sets cheaper!

Lucas I love you like an uncle but you gotta tell Hasbro and Lego to lower their prices!!!!

Yeah, Lego is really expensive. :/ And though action figures are cheap individually, once you get a few you just keep wanting more - hence my decision to not buy any (see how well that worked, eh? ^_^).

The sabers are really expensive, but they're SO worth the money! Anyone reverts back to a ten-year-old kid when you get them to hold it, they're just so awesome. Save up, if you can... it's so cool. :)

yea, but try explaining that to my dad when he sees me bring home a lightsabre that's US$113. Hell he already thinks i'm weird for playing with action figures ::blushes::

Haha, I totally know all about the 'spending far too much money on cool SW toys' thing. *g* Although I guess I'm allowed to treat myself when I've barely spent any money on myself at all for months.

Yay for lightsabers! I want Mace's lightsaber but nowhere seems to sell that. :(

Yeah, Mace's was an older model so I guess they stopped making them for now. :( I'm hoping they'll eventually release it again - purple is just way too awesome. :)
