Hey gang!

I'm happy to finally have something good to report on the figure hunting front. After over a year of hunting the 6 inch Black Series and only seeing 2 Boba Fetts in probably 75+ visits to Toys R Us, Target, Disney, Walgreens, Kmart, etc - today I decided to swing by the Disney outlet and found they had NO Star Wars Black Series 6 Inch figures! I looked and looked and nothing. Then, in a fit of boredom (as I was waiting for a phone call to meet someone), I decided to wander the store and happened upon the clearance section, where low and behold, there were about 30-40 of the 6 Inch figures there! I browsed through row after row of Slave Leia, Han, etc when there on the bottom shelf tucked away were 6 BOBA FETT BLACK SERIES 6 INCH AT $9.99 A PIECE! Needless to say, this is far and away the most significant hunting trip I've EVER had in several years of browsing.

Just to calm the fears of all my fellow collectors out there - the reason I decided to buy all 6 is because I'm a Stormtrooper in the 501st, TK61281, and I am continually amazed at the kindness and generosity of my fellow troopers so I offered all 6 Fetts to the first 6 members of our Garrison who wanted one for my cost of $11. I actually already have Fett and am only looking for Vader right now anyways as my collection is limited to what fits on my desk at work. ;o) What a rewarding day! The downside of this is that I was just about at the point of giving up on the random hopeful visits to the Star Wars aisle and now I've got one of those memorable days that leads to 100 more foolishly optimistic trips... ;o)

Thanks for all you do at Jedi Temple Archives!
