Thanks to all for the wish...it has been a great birthday/Father's Day weekend. I spent it at Disneyland with my 5-year old and my wife, and it was truly magical. Although I've been to The Magic Kingdom at least a dozen times in my life, this time I got to experience it through the eyes of my daughter, something I've looked forward to since the day she was born. Truly a dream come true. And to add some lovely icing to the cake, at the Star Trader (the little shop you walk through on your way out of Star Tours), I found my long sought-after Count Dooku bust!!! YES!!!! They actually had lots of them, brand-new of course, and for a very good price -- $45! AND...I also got the Count Dooku Unleashed figure, which I haven't been able to find either. $20 for that one, also a good price. My loving wife bought me both as my combined Father's Day/birthday gift. So it's been a wonderful weekend, and coming home to your wishes here topped everything off perfectly. Thanks so much! :)

Happy belated birthday, Dave! You share my lil' sister's birthday! I couldn't really spend much of it with her, though, because she was at school and I had a 2-and-a-half hour English exam, too! Great to hear that you had a wonderful day, though! Ah, you got 'Tyranus Unleashed'! I recently had a panic attack because I want that figure so bad, and couldn't find one anywhere, even online - but Ebay saved me! My figure's on his way now, so I'll have to make room for him on my shelf... |

Thanks again to everyone! :) Jurious, sorry for the error -- you're quite right, I got the "Darth Tyranus Unleashed" figure, not "Count Dooku Unleashed." Had a momentary lapse there, Sith Gal. ;) So you finally found one, eh? What about the Dooku bust? It's utterly magnificent, and now vies for attention on my desktop, alongside the infamous Dracula you found so frightening. I absolutely never expected to find such treasures at Disneyland! What a wonderful surprise. My oversight, though, was in not buying two of the Unleased...this one demands opening up and displaying (those lightning bolts are too cool!!). I've gotta find another one! Oh, and Happy Birthday to sis! How old? Trevor, sad about the avatar. The original choice for mine was the image I use for my Windows sign-in and for Instant Messenger, a close-up of Mr. Lee's bloodied fangs from Scars of Dracula. Totally cool. However, a moment's thought and I realized that wouldn't go down well, so I went with something I'd consider far worse, my own mug. Scary indeed.

I wasn't actually aware you said 'Dooku Unleashed'... it just came second-nature to put 'Tyranus' - probably because I've been wanting one for so long!  It is a very Star Wars, nit-picky fan thing to do, though, isn't it? Heh.I agree, it has to come out the box - I got mine a few days ago, and he's standing proudly on my shelf now! I chose to put the Force Lightning in his hand, too - the lightsabre looks cool, but doesn't have the same impact. He's definately my favourite Star Wars model that I have! And I love the description written for him, on the back of the card he came on - it was marvellous! It fitted the character pefectly! I'm afraid I don't have the Dooku bust, though - I've just left school and am without a job, so I can't afford everything. I'm looking for a job now, though, so I can afford some more cool stuff! It's the Dooku replica lightsabre that I think looks cool, but it's a real expensive piece of merchandise at around £250...  And my sister's now 14... though I reckon she's going on 40 with the way she moans about things, and reckons life's so hard. :P LOL |

Re: eBay Not even a wish, Fred. Ingrates! Jurious, I'd love to have that Dooku lightsabre replica, but at nearly $500, that's beyond even me. Sad, huh. :(
