So it originally had a tag that was deleted...USC MF Widely believed to be Ultimate Series Collector Millennium Falcon Makes sense to me. What other part of Star Wars is (a) epic enough to warrant this, and (b) in every single movie that didn't suck balls? (Meaning it's not in Episodes I-III, but who cares? ) Now, for the record, although the original series was clearly better than E1-3, I don't think they sucked as much as The Internet says they did. "I read it on The Internet so it must be true". Anyway...Millennium Falcon was one of my top guesses (Tatooine was not a serious guess ), so yeah. I would bet on it.  |

Speaking of Star Wars! I picked up this gem while I was down in TN (at Watts Bar) for the eclipse. I can't wait to open her up! If you look close you will see the label says "Stern pinball Star Wars LE (Limited Edition) #239 of 800! WooHoo!  |

And if so, can I come live in your basement?  |

hmm...pass A few of my colleagues have bought the Saturn V set, assembled it, and brought it in to work. Not sure how much that costs, but it took one guy "3 evenings" to assemble. No thanks! Got better things to do. I actually like the idea of building a Saturn V from Legos and bringing it in to work, but not over three evenings!  |

In fact, I am hosting a pinball tournament on the 16th - come on up and get in on the fun! I have a bunch of classic pins & vids. Star Wars is the only modern game I have - or probably ever have!  |
