Well my friends the story begins like this...

A couple of hours ago, 9:40 PM to be exact I get a call from my friend Kyle from school, who was checking the toy aisle for Star Wars stuff and sees that the small section for Star Wars is flooding.(as in they were on the floor too!) with the all new Episode III toys that were suppose to release April 2nd.

After that I slipped on my sandles, grabbed my keys, snatched my wallet and sprinted for my car. I called up my buddy Sean on the way out of the neighborhood to tell him the news since we had planned to go on April 2nd. He didn't pick up so I floored it down the rainy highway passing cars and watching the occaisonal lightning flash. Ten more aganizing minutes of tedious driving and I finally pulled into the parking lot, called Kyle back who was still in the store and ran in.

I couldn't believe he was right, I began sorting through the toys picking out which ones I would buy. I saw Anakin, Obi-wan, and Grievous Unleashed figures, then saw the smaller, cheaper, Chewbacca, Darth vader, anakin, obiwan, sidious, yoda, windu, new clone troopers, battle droids and more. I was so excited, Kyle shows up a few minutes later and tells me that he has some toys he picked up in his mom's kart. He was there getting paintballs for his match tomorrow when he saw the figures. I stood there waiting for Sean to come when suddenly a spanish Wal-Mart employee walks into the aisle and starts frantically saying how these toys arent suppose to be out yet and starts putting them in boxes quickly which attracts more employees which help her. I watch in horror as they pile them away knowing I can't do a thing. Sean comes in minutes later and I tell him the bad news as I watch the last of the toys go into the boxes.

Kyle then proceeds to laugh in my face and tell me how he will call me when he is home "Playing" with his toys then walks off. I continued to pace just staring at all the storage boxes filled with the toys as an Employee stands there. I went back to the aisle and discovered a General Grievous: Unleashed sitting harmlessly in the empty area where they all were, it was the last new toy left there. I took it with happyness and me and Sean walked off. I couple of minutes later Kyle calls and says how they took his toys away because when they got price checked the toys registers as a NO SELL or something until April 2nd and he left empty handed. Then when all seemed lost Sean proposed we goto the "Self Checkout".

I swiped it through the checker and sure enough it beeped oudly and told us that an employee would help us momentarily. The woman took the toy and brought it to her checkout and it declined with another "BEEP" again. She asked me how much it was, I told her the price of $15.00 which it was, then she typed in star wars and gave it to me for 15 dollars. my eyes raised in suprise and I continued out of the store so excited!!!

I stopped by Sean's house and we took a picture of it then I continued home. I'm about to open it and set it with the rest of my Unleashed collection. anyways I hope you guys aren't too jelious. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Wait...

Something sounds fishy... your friend's name is "KYLE?" biggrin.gif

And you should never call it "my car." Henceforward it shalt be known as the "WOOKMOBILE"

COOOOOOL.

Had I known you were becoming this much of a collector -- I would have let my brother-in-law know, who has since sold most of his long-time Star Wars collection on Ebay over the last few months. He's kept a few things, but *many* collectibles such as the things you're buying but mostly from the first set of movies were among his prizes.

If you want, I'll ask him if there is anything else he plans on letting go in the future and get you first dibs on it.

P.S. -- you really are turning in to a wookie -- check out that HAIR!!
