Holy crap, all of these years I've thought that was Fellini! :eek: It has been a few years since college though. :(

Ultimately, though, I did not alert anyone specifically, which technically makes me complicit. The kid's presence heavily influenced me to just walk away.

I recommend NOT watching The Bicycle Thief, at least, not if you consider your time to carry any sort of value.

I stashed an Indy Cargo Truck at Pacoima Target today - shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Found all of wave 8 GI JOEs at Target in Gardena. Also saw some at Crenshaw Walmart, but my friend got them all. They are sweet. Arctic Snake Eyes = figure of the year!

I went to Burbank TRU around 10:30 for first time since before Indy toys hit; they had a buy 2 Indy figures get a 3rd free going, but only Mutts and RPG Indys to choose from. Was tempted to grab the remaining Deluxe, as there were 2 biker Germans & a soldier 2-pack, nice way to round out the quartet that chase Henry & Junior in TLC, but I'm trying NOT to go crazy army-building these :razz:

They did have a Y-wing on the shelves again after a long absence, so I finally picked that up. Everything looked to be in place, too! Now I just need a B-wing to round out the Rebel Fighters.

Poor Cate Blanchette- her first action figure and it looks as bad as the infamous "Monkey Leia". I added a vintage SW image for comparison.

Actually, it's Ms. Blanchette's fourth action figure as for LOTR there were two 6" Galadriel figures and a 12".

The likeness on that one was sort of okay but the hands were ghastly.
