Hey, hold on! Rico, did I hear you mention the second Harry Potter film might be in 3D? Where was all your 3D rage for that?! You gave it a total pass! :boxing

Even as a non-collector I found that quite fun (although I do have a strange yearning to have a lightsabre or a TNG phaser lying around the house).

It was an interesting window onto an area of fandom I know little about.

Well, I still think it's a silly idea. But I don't NOT see movies I still want to see just because they are in 3-D. For those, I just go see them in non-3D. Like the recent "Megamind." Lynn and I saw that, but in a non-3D theater.

I am still a bit on the fence with the 3D, but with that said, Tron definite for me in 3D, as that looks like a movie that would be perfect for it, and I get the feeling it could swing me over to be totally on board with 3D.

All the Saber talk between you and Bryan has me wanting for another, I have been monitoring the Dooku one for a bit and hoping it shows up on the efx site or Action Figure Express. I see it on Entertainment Earth, but their shipping like you noted in the Podcast Rico, sky high. Wished I was onboard years earlier as a Obi-Wan would be cool to own.

Your comments Rico on the Sideshow 1/6 scale were similar to me, I collected quite a few early on, but have dropped off due to price and some that I was not as compelled to get. But the last two I did get were the Stormtrooper and the ANH Vader, and really happy I did, since I think the Vader in particular is hard to find now.

Jeff - check out www.brianstoys.com for sabers, etc. I'm not sure how their shipping compares, but they carry a lot of FX sabers. I also think you can get a discount code from "Star Wars Action News." Just can't recall what the the code is (maybe, SWAN).
