Some Quick Notes: There is no Star Wars without John Williams. Period. His ability to generate emotional and thrilling compositions in many different scenes is unparalleled. He hits the old, familiar themes from the previous eight films yet blends them at different points to make you tear up. The soundtrack alone is a trip and journey through forty years of Star Wars music. I was happy he finally got a cameo in a Star Wars film. Sheev had sex. Sex = babies. That makes sense if you consider how powerful Rey is and also the jabbing motion with her lightsaber she is fond of making. Now, let’s also process the fact that Palpatine KILLED his own SON. But we can’t since we have to jump around. Daisy Ridley as Rey was perhaps one of the two best decisions that JJ Abrams made. No matter what role she is in, she always gives it her all and is very effective at conveying the complexities of human emotion while kicking ass in a very physical and visceral way. She took what she was given and threw herself into it. The other best decision JJ made was choosing Adam Driver. I wanted to see more Adam Driver as Ben Solo. That cockiness at the end with the lightsaber made me realize for a moment that I can see how he is Han and Leia’s kid. Him smiling at the end was a gut punch. I want more smiling Ben Solo kicking ass! COME ON! He’s a good actor! An orphan learns her past lineage and tries to run from it and become a better person. She tries and fails many times, resulting in some mishaps and a tragic event that shapes her, only to rise again and reject what is wrong and seeks to do right. I would say there’s some pathos and a Shakespearean tragedy to unravel. GREAT IDEA. MEDIOCRE EXECUTION. So, the Force can let you send sabers over the Force Cloud now. Okay, I guess I can see that and….WAIT FORCE HEALING...WHAT? So many questions! Chewie got his medal. I clapped. He deserved it. Wedge Antilles? Very unexpected and a nod to the fans. Rey made her own gold lightsaber, from her own staff as well. Now that is cool BUT... how and when did she find time to do that?

Where were you when the Sea Cow retired? That's when I needed to hear that.

The back of the Tag says: "...At Full Price"

1 of the 3 Costco near me hadn't discounted the Creator Twin Rotor Helicopter yet, so at self-checkout (this Costco has that!) I talked to a manager about the price differences between warehouses. He said if the price ends in a 7 it is a corporate mandated cut and all warehouses will follow, but for "discretionary items" like holiday toys each warehouse manager has the authority to discount merchandise or not. Then he offered me $5 off (and I said thanks and declined). So when you're searching inventory and you find a Costco with a bunch, be advised they may not be discounted at all.

Just give me 36 minutes of Baby Yoda cuteness each episode and I'd be happy. Other than that I just see Javier Pena and Gus Fring about to have a big cartel war.

Christmas came early. Restriction now off all the sets they added last month. Merry Christmas everyone!

I wouldn't hold my breath on the latest gingerbread house doing as well as the last. They made a crap ton more this time around. My store had them until just a few days ago and I was able to wrap up around 80-90 without much effort so I'm not expecting the moon with these.

Obviously, every Costco is different but 50% off.

The argument is always shipping. Here it's 5€ for a 2kg, 6€ for a 5kg, 8,50€ for a 10kg package, so it doesn't really matter. You can ship the biggest set for 8,50€, the smallest set for 5€. In the US things may be different. The hardest part for me about small sets is pushing volume, I'd rather double my money on one big exclusive rather than tripling it with 10 sales. Not worth the hassle & time is money.

Lol, I noticed that too when further inspecting the box art a little while back. I may keep my latest freebie for 4 x years to make an extra £20. ?

It's been pushing $500 FBA

I go under BA the White !

Los Pollos Hermanos could start serving Baby Yoda nuggets soon...

Red 5...hopefully.

He's officially 900...he tells Luke he won't look this good at 900. But you have a good point. Baby Yoda will apparently reach adulthood in the next 50 years and be able to talk and train Jedi.

I'm not talking about the American market. And I'd wager the sale price of the house will be bigger than the profit I get from the fish.

idk, Luke milking that sea cow was bad enough. I cringed hard during that scene sitting between my 14 yr-old son and 12 yr-old daughter. That scene had no business being in a movie for kids and whoever thought it was a good idea should not be allowed to make movies with kids in mind ever again.

Popped into a Kohl’s on my way home tonight and the LEGO section was completely reset with almost all new 2020 sets across all themes except SW.

Let me correct for you. I already own 19 other versions of these movies.

Perhaps he is working on a different scale and will be gutted if they net a huge profit.

Finished this monster....

Not for me!

50x 31096 Helicopters to part out

finally we have a Bantha!

No, it won´t. Remember that Creator remake which is definitely just around the corner. Coming soon. Real soon.
