What you need to do is hunt down a legend or black series so much that when you finally find it, you don't mind paying 30 fucking dollars for it. Yeah, I've been there with MU and Joes, no regrets when it's one you really want. Today I was just in an impulse buy mood, but the market doesn't accommodate guilt-free stupid purchases anymore and it sucks! Now I have to wait for stuff to arrive from ebay lol. I'm glad I don't collect stuff outside of the Joescale anymore. Shit's getting too expensive. That is a smart way to collect. I really shouldn't get into any more lines right now anyway. But it feels like I'm almost done with most other lines, so I see new stuff and it's tempting.

If you want a Fett, check Barnes & Noble if there's one nearby. They sell Black Series there for only a few bucks more than normal, and 6" Boba Fett is totally worth it.
I think I'm gonna slow down on that line though, except for the upcoming Vader and the speeder bike. No way can I pass those up.

That's good advice, I've been finding remnants of that wave at TRU, Wal-Mart, and Target but they'd probably move slower at B&N. Buuut I only want a Fett as an impulse buy for as cheap as possible because I'm a bad Star Wars fan who's junking up this thread lol. When I put it into perspective of how badly I wanted Marvel Universe Cable for example, yeah Black Series would be more worth it to me if I was more of a fan. I'm just a casual fan who's in a phase since I'm watching Clone Wars and it's so awesome.

Star Wars is bad, so it's OK if you're messing up the thread. (you're not).

I just wish I could find a Stormtrooper. It's part of wave 3 with Bespin Luke (cool figure), Episode III Obi-Wan (boring) and a Han repack. Seems like everybody wants multiple troopers, but I'd just settle for one.

To quote that movie that everyone jizzes about, Frozen.
Let it go.
Let it go.
Something about something any more.
I do hope Abrams' flick restores some of that love back for me...but eh. It doesn't do anything for me any more.

Hmm, I'll keep an eye out, can't remember if I saw one or not. I know I saw a 6" Clone Trooper at TRU. I didn't realize it was new and seemingly scarce. I prefer the individually named Clone Troopers myself.
Celty, I bet Clone Wars would renew your excitement for the series.

Maybe. But I really, really, really, really hate everything that is the Prequel trilogy. Even if it actually is good.
I'm just done with it.

Never considered they'd build armies with $20 figures, but I guess a junkie is a junkie. lol

It usually takes something super awesome to do it (the last thing to do it was the Arkham Asylum Bane/Batman pack) and Rex is a bad mother fucker.

ROTJ Luke would probably push me over the edge too. Probably my favorite SW toy I had growing up. Lots of lightsaber duels with him and Vader back in the day.

I've still got my VHS OT set before Lucas did any mucking around with them. No player though.

Now that I know what picture quality is, it's especially weird to watch a blurry VHS copy with all this out of place CG stuff in it. Admittedly, I thought it was neat as a stupid child. Now I get it. Well shit. Guess he'll end up on the wall next to Boba. Vader too. Fucking Hasbro.

I found a letter box version of the OT on VHS for a dollar at the thrift store. Pretty cool.
