(FLOSI'S Cantina) "Where everybody knows your name..."

[furystorm]

fury will be at the movie's more than all of us. Just wait and see.

Yeah I'm a little excited. I'll prolly see it a few times in the theater, not like TFA though.

I am planning to repeat my last journey for the next two episodic films, VIII & IX....

Im hoping for 15 viewings next time. Only saw TFA 14 times in theater.

I'm in on Rogue One via S.H. Figuarts. Other than that, I may cave for an R.O. stormtroooper (vanilla or Jedha patrol) but that's it for 1/6. The new Vader looks great, but I feel like I should wait for the inevitable ESB version.

 

[Darth Waller]

What's a Shoretrooper?

It's a trooper for the shore. Duh.

 

[furystorm]

We need a Plainstrooper for you.

Sorry Steve

Now that is an HT figure I would buy.

Canceled Target and ordered from Amazon. Monday delivery as well!

Got mine Saturday.
The box they ship in is HUGE ! Lot's of bubble air. No padding. But the set itself is boxed so that helps too.
22lbs of book !

I blame this thread for everything. They created me. No Cantina means no Celebration which means no Comic Cons and no crazy love for Ralph Mcquarrie. Also awesome friends!

My RMQ book is in. The shipper was destroyed but the book was perfect. Dogged a bullet! This book is no joke it can easily break a toe if dropped haha!

I just opened mine as well. This thing is a beast. Nicely protected and very happy to finally have this in hand.

I order my RMQ book from a local supplier, preordered the instant it went up. Now I got an email saying they won't stock it at all.

Amazon it is then!

Well *insert lots of swearing here*!

Got my first ever speeding ticket today, there goes this months nerd budget! Will have to get this next month.

$235 down the drain!

You can't contest it and plea the fine down in court?

We get 20 days to mail it back with either payment or a request for a court date. Talk with the prosecutor before court and a ticket can be reduced by over half. They don't have time for every ticket so they'll buy guilty pleas.

Also, $235 is exorbitant. How fast were you going?

 

[Aliaz]

Nothing really goes to court over here, and you have to either sign that you accept or contest it right away at the roadside. Since they measured my speed with laser and followed me for awhile I didn't really see the point.

Quite heavy fines for speeding in Sweden, I was going 121 km/h on a 110 km/h road (they adjutant it down so I was going abit faster). So about 7 mph to fast.

Email received : "Your Amazon.co.uk order of "Star Wars Art: Ralph Mcquarrie" has been dispatched". Finally!

Does Abrams Books send these books through Amazon in some sort of a special box/packaging, which is then inserted in the Amazon shipping box?

A $245 ticket for going 7 mph over the speed limit?! I always set my cruise control to 6 or 7 over the posted limit. Were you in a construction zone or school zone? $245 is crazy!

For me it came in a shipper box about 50% bigger than the book with brown paper as padding. The book was just wrapped in plastic like you would find on a Blu Ray case. I was surprised my book was fine lol.

Amazon likes playing with fire with these expensive items...
Are you in US or EU/UK?

US and yes they do. I should've taken a picture of the box before opening it. It was in the shape of an L when I seen it on my doorstep.

I had good experiences with Amazon UK so far, hopefully they'll keep that trend. We'll see in a few days.

An email I just got from Amazon UK, really cool:

That means: $106.8
