Star Wars - Clone Wars stuffs

Updated Post on 2 September 2008



I'm actually quite excited over the midnight launched for Clone Wars toys in Toys R Us nationwide.
It will be my very first experience for a Star Wars midnight event.
So, I'm looking forward to it everyday and now it's only 3 days away...
I hope I'll be able to see the 2.5ft Big Millenium Falcon (BMF) on the shelves that night.
And hopefully the price of it will not be too high, so that most people can afford it in times like these.
The Star Wars mania in me says "Buy it!Buy it! It's the biggest Star Wars Hasbro toy ever!"
"It's your favourite Star Wars spaceship."
"It's got lights like the movie's Millenium Falcon!"
"It can fit in 18 Star Wars Action Figures!"
... ... ... ...
The other side of me tells me : "You've already got a 1.5ft sized MF and a galactic heroes MF, it doesn't really make any difference if you buy one more!"
"Please save some money for rainy days !"
"Don't buy now! Might ended up as SALE item sometime later!"
"You have NO space at home for such a BIG spaceship!"
Confusing, huh?
....LOL at myself...I'm getting headaches over a TOY! AHA...haaaaaaaa

And well, as for the movie, frankly speaking, seeing the movie trailer didn't really make me like the movie. But I still do have high expectation and anticipation for a Star Wars animation film.
So I really can't comment anything now because the movie's not even out yet.
As a Star Wars fans, I naturally hope that this will be another of George Lucas sell-out blockbuster!!
While I was surfing the net, I found some interesting infos, vidoes and images.
Here's sharing the trailer first :

Post Additions on 2 September 2008:
I'm just back from watching the Clone Wars.
I would say if this is NOT an animated movie, it would really be a very good one then!
The story and the editing is very good.
The thing I really don't like about the Clone Wars movie is the hair on Obi-Wan and Anakin.
The thick beard on Obi Wan is much worse...
There's no life in their hairs. It just looks like some sort of papercut...flat and stick there with tons of hard hair gels!
U see them fighting, running, jumping all over the place, but the hair is exactly the same!
No movements... I wonder why?
As for the Hasbro Big Millenium Falcon, if anyone is wondering whether I've brought it, the answer is Nope! I am turn-off by the price of S$339.000.
