Thursday, Nov. 16th:

Darth Vader Dagobah Wave

Wal-Mart east in Madison got in a case of the Darth Vader Dagobah wave. This wave includes Vader, Ben (old) Kenobi, Leia General, and Qui-Gon Poncho. All of the figures are now on .0100 cards and both Vader and Ben have .0000 Force Files. We have all heard a lot about the Vader figure. One thing that I haven't heard much about is that he has three points of articulation per arm! The Ben figure is nice, as well, having articulated elbows. It has been a long time since there was a Ben figure on the pegs.

Boss Nass Wave

Target west in Madison got in a case of the Boss Nass wave. I am slowly building my army of Gungan Soldiers (is 3 an army?). I hope that Hasbro puts more of them in future cases.

FilmCon

FilmCon is being held here in Madison this weekend (Nov. 17-19). One of the guests of honor will be Ian McCaig who did costume design for Episode I & II. They got a nice write-up in the Capital Times yesterday. Go to their web site to find out more.

Cedar Rapids Show

There is going to be a Star Wars show in Cedar Rapids Iowa on Nov. 26th. The show runs from 9am-4pm and is at the Howard Johnson Hotel on Wright Brothers Blvd. Admission is $2 and it looks like a lot of fun. Call (319) 373-1386 and ask for Mike if you need more information.
