Growing Old Disgracefully!

So I woke up this morning 39 years old.


For some, it would be a time for introspection... questioning, "what have I done with my life?"

"Have I achieved all the goals I set at 19?"





Personally, I ripped open the presents and went WHOOO HOOOO!

I got this little lot from Dad, Wife & Kids - V. Happy

(These other figures I already had - I'm not that lucky!)

Hmmm... One armed guard, Three Shiny Speeders, Four Dodgy Geezers... The Empire wants to be careful in this neighbourhood. Things could go missing!

Yep! Soon as Sideshow release those Biker Scouts, Im all set.

C'mon Sideshow, I want 'em now!!!!!

Happy birthday.

Cool pictures, you're going to have alot of fun with those speeder bikes.

Grow old, but don't grow up!

Happy birthday mate!! I am looking forward to seeing all the custom work on those speeders!!

I am a few years behind you, so do not feel too bad. I enjoy playing with toys too!

Cool, are those bikes by Hasbro? I might have to pick one up (also anxiously awaiting a 12" Sideshow Scout Trooper).

Yep, and you can pick them up on eBay or in the for sale section of the forums pretty cheap at the moment. But don't wait too long, once SS release the Scouts, you know the exclusive will be a polystone bike, retailing at around $250! LOL. That's why I'm stocking up now, these babies will go through the roof!

A speeder bike has been on my list of items to get... still havent' gotten around to it. But does seem like there are great deals to be had on them

Collecting is what keeps you young. It's a fun, albeit expensive, reminder to not always take life so seriously. Enjoy your haul!

I still have my 2 Hasbro Speeder Bikes. Not getting rid of those anytime soon.

Happy birthday! Great haul, too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Stay young!

Happy B-day. Nice Booty!

I've got 349 days on you, so I'll let you know how the BIG 4-0 introspection goes in a couple weeks. My life goals are simple: if I'm still breathing and the kids grow up to be good people, I'm good!

I know my haul won't be as good. The wife gave up on me a long time ago. Doesn't know what I have, doesn't know what I want or what condition. She basically will just "let" me take some $$$ to get what I want and say that's my present. Gotta love her for that. Enjoy the day and keep scarfing up those bikes.

Thanks everyone! Having a great day. No work, kids at school, MY TIME!

On a related note, I'm well impressed with the 1/4 scale Maul!

I've read so much of people rubbishing this line (and I agree, the human likenesses are... interesting!) But I'm digging this one. So much so I've just pre-ordered the Emperor and two Royal Guards!

I hear there is a Darth Vader in the works too, hopefully they will do Stormtroopers to flank him as well.

LOL another line, another load of money!

Happy birthday! I have been watching a few speeder bikes lately and I wonder if your family have been the ones that have been snatching them up on ebay!

When I first started reading this, I thought, "Why did this dude put this announcement in the Star Wars Section?" Then I scrolled down ...

Happy birthday, man. I'm three months behind you, but I doubt I have the same quality of gifts waiting for me that day. Good on you.

Happy birthday dude!

Happy birthday mate! I wish my family had the same flair for gift giving as yours. My wife gave me a gift card for a massage last Christmas.... I think she ended up using it for herself sometime around June... You plan on painting up those speeders? I know Mark (Dorgmal) has done a great job on one that he has. Anyway, have a great one!
