orangerfulthe good news: my trading cards that I've been waiting forever for finally arrived today! I checked my email and it said it had shipped, and I checked the tracking and it said "out for delivery" so I was hoping that they would be here. I think I scared the UPS man because I yelled "YAY!" when I saw him at the door. So I now have a complete set of the Firefly and Veronica Mars trading cards, with at least one autograph card from each set and a small collection of the rarer inserts. (We got Aaron Echolls' shirt here people!).
I also got a box of the 'young indiana jones chronicles' trading cards, which I haven't opened yet. I was savoring the buzz from the Firefly cards.
worrisome news:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jimithingy called Gamestop and they did not have Mario DDR in stock. They still said it would be in "sometime this week" though so he's going to check back for me. I checked their website -- it's gone from Reserve Now! status to Backordered, which scares me.
Also, the cover art for the new star wars dvds was announced. Like most things coming out of Lucasfilm nowadays, I'm not superthrilled with these boxes. Was there anything wrong with the old-school posters? Ah well. I'm slightly irked that they are not being sold as a set either - you have to purchase all 3 dvds seperately, and currently each dvd will be priced at $20. AND they will only be on sale Sept - Dec '06. So not a lot of time to see if they will end up in the bargain bin. Here's hoping that Best Buy does a midnight madness on September 12th!
