Ok, I'm getting fedup with these minnis.  Last firday I went out and bought 6 more boosters and what do I get?  A lando, C-3P0, slave Leigha, Bossack which I allready had, plus a scout on a speeder and stormtrooper on a Dewback.

So here's what I got repeat wise.

2 Emperors (Very rare, ie 1 in every 3 cases of boosters)
2 Slave Leighas (very rare)
2 Landos (rare)
3 Bossacks (rare)
3 C-3POs (rare)

And in all those boosters no Ewoks even (a common)!  I'm sad I didn't get a Greedo or Fett, but I'm not going to spend anymore on these figures.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

Well you're welcome to a C-3PO, maybe I'll send my 3rd one to Mr. P just to  taunt him, and I'll trade for the bossack (he's acutaly a decent figure).  How you want to do this then?

I am untauntable.

I have satiated my urge of buying something I don't need...by buying something I need even less!

HA! Take that!

A supplement for the dearly departed WHFRP?
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I'd be more than happy to sign a lithograph of myself for Dr. P. He's my favorite one.

I think he bought a Special Edition Star Wars DVD from 1997--no one needs those anymore, neither purists nor reformists.

Oh, certainly, and plenty of subfactions within them. I wouldn't be surprised, actually, if a splinter group broke off and proclaimed the '97 Special Editions to be the True version of the movie. Mark my words: one hundred years from now the great Star Wars jihad will be a plague upon the earth, as the purists battle the reformists for domination, and both sides work together to wipe the Christmas Specialists from the Earth.

Well, not yet, but a subgroup of Star Wars fundamentalists will eventually decide that all original material created by Lucas is considered canonical (this following the Timothy Zahn battles of 2042), thus creating a huge rift in the purist movement that all but destroys it. Many lose faith and flee to the Reformists, while others retreat entirely to the underground Trekkie conclaves. Only the subsequent heresy of the ultra-reformists, who say that the spirit of Lucas speaks to them and that no Star Wars can be considered True unless it is changed weekly, serves to rebalance the power base and save the reformists from utter annihilation.
