The forgotten pieces
I finished up with the video blogs the other day and when I took the walker and TIE into THE ROOM I found the pieces that I meant to include but forgot.

COMMANDER CODY was found a bit before the holidays but never made it into a blog.

I was out the other week and happened upon a few figs on the shelf. Bail Organa and BREHA ORGANA were sitting resplendent on the pegs but I only bought her thinking I had him. I was wrong. :( The imitation bounty hunter JODO KAST was found hiding behind something else, so my apologies to anyone in the Muncie area that had hidden him for a later purchase.

I also found a stash of CLONE WARS figures. This amazing PLO KOON was awesome with his lightsaber gauntlet. Very cool. COUNT DOOKU also was found but not Ventress. Still looking for her.

The funny story comes with AHSOKA. We were at Target and I was looking through the figs, or lack thereof, when my daughter asked if they were making Ahsoka. I replied yes as I moved a figure to look at the ship it was sitting on. We kept looking and talking and my daughter started to crack up since the figure I had moved was the illusive Ahsoka. Of course I grabbed it. I'd been looking for her for a while.

Then, along with Star Wars items for the holidays, you end up with cash or gift cards. Our BOOKS A MILLION has had these snap tite models for a while so I figured it was time to buy a couple. The two I bought were the TIE INTERCEPTOR and ANAKIN'S JEDI STARFIGHTER. They are snap together models but they really are good quality. I was surprised. The INTERCEPTOR and the STARFIGHTER went together pretty easily and ended up quite nice. Pre-colored makes them quite a snap (forgive the pun). They are about 3 1/3" long so here they are for scale against their packs.

TIE INTERCEPTOR

ANAKIN'S FIGHTER

Now I will have to go back for the X-Wing and Vader's TIE. Very cool models indeed.
