i want to know what is diffrent

How much would all 3 lego Star Wars cost?

I’m a Star Wars geek and I wanna get all three Lego Star Wars games for my ps2. Any idea how much I can get all three for? I’ll probably buy them used.

Where is a good place to buy model kits?

I used to be really into building models as a kid, had the complete Testors line with the airbrush kit, the whole works. I mainly built cars and airplanes, but also built some movie models (Star Trek and Star Wars models mainly) as well as some Movie Monster figurines.

Anywho, 20 years later I’d like to get into it again. However, I used to buy my models from Toys R Us and a couple hobby shops. Nobody really carries models anymore (except for specialty stuff like Gundam figurines and such that don’t interest me), I’ve checked all the places around me and they don;t have anything…

So where can I go to find a good selection of model kits? Classic brands like Ertl?? I’ve done a few searches online but I never really found any one place that has a good selection, only Mom and Pops with a small selection.

Do they still make model kits? Is there an online store that keeps a wide variety of models in stock? Also, supplies, such as the testors paints, glues, sandpaper…all the stuff, I need to buy all new again as my mom pitched all my stuff years and years ago after I moved out D=

Thanks for any help…

Do they have laser Star Wars lightsaber actual toys?

I was looking through several of the lightsabers and most of them are really just long plastic sticks. I was wondering if they actually had one with the base and like a long laser coming out of it instead of the plastic stick. If so does anybody know the name. I’ve been looking to buy one like that for my little brothers birthday but don’t want the plastic one since I know he’ll be waking every single thing in the house with it. :) Big Star Wars fan

i saw the previews and my little brother think’s that asoka tano died. she is my favrite purson in them and just wanna make sure. so does she??

For example, Family Guy Blue Harvest uses a lot of Star Wars music in their Star Wars Parody. Is this a fair use of the music since the music is only a part of the entire film and it is the entire film that is receiving parody?

Why is Harry Potter so popular?

I’m sure this question has been asked before but my research hasn’t produced much results. It seems most people are as baffled as I am. I understand why this series is popular to an certain extent because I am a fan myself. I’ve read all the books and seen all the movies except for the second part of Deathly Hallows (obviously) and enjoyed them thoroughly. However, I don’t understand why it’s as successful as it is.

It has been called a worldwide "phenomena." I’ve read that all seven books combined have sold over four hundred million copies and still counting. Turning those that have never read a single novel all the way through for pleasure in their entire life into the kind of fans that dress up as one of the characters and camp out in the parking lot in front of a Barnes & Noble. They have been translated into something like sixty six different languages and have reportedly increased the literacy rate significantly.

Each of the movies have pretty much made the inflation equivalent of a billion dollars at the box-office and hundreds of millions of dollars more on home video. Not to mention all the spin-off video games, toys and other merchandise that has probably made more money than the books and movies combined. Last I heard the Harry Potter brand was worth over fifteen billion dollars, second only to the Star Wars franchise and right in front of Star Trek and James Bond. If that’s anywhere near accurate then that’s pretty darn impressive considering that it’s only been around for almost fourteen years.

J.K. Rowling is not just the first and only billionaire author but amongst only a few that have managed to make it into the six digit range, and that’s only after others have spend decades selling dozens of titles. The only answer that makes any sense to me is that in order for something to become a so called "phenomena" it only really has to appeal to something like one percent of the total human population.

Then other people become interested in it out of sheer curiosity and others (particularly younger folks) out of the desire to be accepted. Plus there is the theory that during hard economic times people stop spending money on vacations and spend more money on less expensive forms of escapism like the media. Beyond that why do you think these stories in terms of their actual content have struck a chord with the masses? Please give your answer a think and make it constructive. Thanks.

Which one is better and worth the money? And why do you think so.

I’ve already got lego star wars the complete saga and lego harry potter yeaes 1-4

What do you think of this sample writing?

It’s a short, personal sample about myself that was assigned for a AP Lit class. Appreciate any criticism towards writing, punctuation, etc. (:

There was once a time during the war when my dad was taken from me. My little girl self cried out in anger and confusion. How could they take him from me? From his family, us – the people who loved him most- for a year. That night was pitch black, the brillance of the stars overtaken by clouds and leaving everything to the dark. The ride to the carrier ship was quiet, already having said our goodbyes. He stepped out of the truck, and I flew after him- clinging to him so tightly, I thought he’d be unable to leave. My mother coaxed me with pleas to not make this day any harder, promised he would come back safely. And I cried all the way home, cursing anyone responsible for separating us- hating the world, and its drama. The year didn’t come quickly enough, each day ticked by as I stared at the clock – willing it faster. Three months to go! He was so close, so very close that I couldn’t help but smile. But then a call, at midnight. My mother crying, begging for more information. Tears trickled down my face, hoping desperately for good news. My sister confused by our tears, started her own. I don’t remember going to the hospital, seeing my dad in a bed- leg bandaged to hide his blood, medicated to hide his pain. What I remember is seeing my daddy breathing and surviving- what counted most, and what they couldn’t take from me.

George Lucas has talked about remasting the original movies into 3D, so I wonder if he’ll release the TV Series on the new upincoming 3D Blu-ray format that panasonic is developing? I heard the format might be out be 2010, and I want to know if George will use it or not.

the watches still works. I would like to sell them all of what i have. I have sets and sets of them. who can i contact to sell these things. I even now have toys that are still in their bags. They come from burger king 2005. Help i need to sell these things. and i have alot. what are they worth.

Because I don’t know any of the old Disney movie and neither do my kids. We have never seen Aladin or Dumbo or any of those.

The only ones we have seen that I can think of are Toy Story (+sequels), Up, Ratatouille and Finding Nemo. We don’t even get Disney channel so we really aren’t Disney gurus.

My kids do love animals, Star Wars and Harry Potter! So I was just wondering if when you go to Disney World/Land it’s really important to know about their movies?

i am looking to get the wii lego star wars game for my nephew and the wii light saber. can you play the lego games with the saber or is it just for the dueling game?

I remember watching that and then this 3D cartoon version comes in and its really different from the other one.

I have four kids. Brandon 8, Micheal 6, Abby 3, and Tyler 7 months old. My husband and I are a little tight on money this year for Christmas because we just moved into a bigger home about 3 months ago so we are trying to limit the amount of Christmas gifts we give to out kids this year. I got a few toys that they all wanted that they put on their Christmas list and got them some new clothes too. Last year my husband bought the boys a XBOX 360 and they have a few games on their list that they want. My husband and I agreed that we would each get them one game. Which game is best and aproppiate for them?

Tony Hawk Series
Lego Star Wars II
Sid Meier’s Pirates!
Sports Games- NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL
Gears of War
Dead Rising

If you have any other great kids games for XBOX 360 please tell me. Thanks for your help!

I need ta know where i can download the full game of Lego star wars 3 the clone wars for the PS3 or PC. Thank you. and please let’s keep the downloads safe :) thank you in advance.

What would the world be like if we were more like the Vulcans from Star Trek. A species that , although very similar to humans, have trained themselves to be free of emotional extremes. There is no anger, or happiness, or sadness. They are always in a neutral emotional state

If humans had neutral emotions, would there be less wars, would we be more inclined to be more intellectual, would we have gone a lot further than we currently have in scientific innovation

At the same time, without emotions, there is no love, there is no art, what would motivate a person to get out of bed each morning. How would we assign a values to things etc

Toy Story 3… best ending ever?

Let me start off by saying I am a huge critic of everything, especially movies. I’ve seen almost every movie worth seeing the last 10 years, I am 21 years old. I have seen Toy Story 3 last year when it came out, I was literally half asleep watching it and didn’t finish the ending. Well the other day, finally having some alone time, I decided to pop in the first 2 Toy Story’s to catch up on the series before I watched the third. Then I actually watched the third. Wow. The ending is so picture-perfect, every problem solved, every toy with a purpose and meaning. I do not believe I have ever seen an ending to a movie or trilogy executed so flawlessly, and it’s not even close. I always loved Toy Story, I grew up on it and I always considered the first one to be one of my favorite movies. But after the third one, I would say in terms of quality, Toy Story is at LEAST in the top 3 greatest trilogies of all time, with Star Wars and LOTR. I went through a bad break up recently and honestly, it’s been tough on me. I "had it bad" I guess you can say. The message at the end of this movie… Nothing lasts forever, people grow up, learn to let go and move on… has helped me so much cope with the loneliness since I saw this movie. It’s weird as hell, I usually am immune to sad stuff and am "a guy" about everything lol. This movie just really hit the spot that my ex tore up, and it helped patch it back up.

I know we all have different opinions, but Toy Story 3′s ending… can you think of another ending of a film that can even measure up to this? Where do you put the Toy Story trilogy on the list of best trilogies ever?
avid… none of those movies ended with the power of toy story 3′s. look at it as an ending that actually gets you thinking, that has a moral. alot of those movies you listed did have good endings. but not memorable like toy story 3′s. just my opinion

Sheet Music?

Does anyone know where I can get sheet music to star wars or harry potter? Thanks:)

Episodes 22, 44 and 66 featured Cad Bane, Boba Fett and Chewbacca, respectively, since they were Season Finales. I wonder who will be featured in the finale of the upcoming fourth season and the final episode? I mean 66 episodes aired so far, and there are 34 more to make a whole 100 episodes. Am I right?

Could you say you were proud of me?

I’m a man in his early forties, who has traveled a bit of distance in this world.
When I was little, I was taught to believe that the U.S. government was the best I could have, and it would be a honor to serve them. I trained everyday, hoping for the day I could serve my country.
I went to boot camp, and earned myself a good gun that represented my honor.
They gave me black leather boots, spit-shined so clean that they gleamed. They shaved off my hair, but I looked alright to me. I became friends with those I trained with, and we marched and we sang like it was noble to do this.
Then they sent me off to war, to be all that I could be.
On my first mission, I kicked down a family’s door, and ordered them on the floor. We saw our man, a terrorist. I dragged him to his knees, catching the fear in his eyes, and wrapped a bag around his face. I bashed him with my Honor, and dragged him from the house as his wife and children cried.
They sprayed him with a fire house, enough that his skin became raw. I thought at first to stop them, but I was too new. So I did as I was ordered, and hit him like the others, no reason other than who he was.
My next field mission, we were fighting a group in the streets, when a woman came running at us. I ordered her to stop, and she did. My commander ordered me to shoot her, and I did. She fell to the ground, her white flag right beside her. I turned my gun and fired on at the enemy.
I was ordered to kill regardless of age, gender, condition, or alliance. Our mission was to search and destroy the enemy’s will by killing indiscriminately. Children, men, women, and elderly. Even if they surrendered, our orders were to shoot and kill, and I began to not care.
After the war, I was given a Medal of Honor for how I served. The President called me a hero of war, and I could tell he was truly proud of me. I went back home, and they too were just so damn proud of me. I was happy at first, but then I grew sick with myself.
I was approached by a contracting company, and offered a job. I became a mercenary, a sellsword, a weapon of death to the highest bidder. I thought, if I could pick who I would kill, the drug lords and warmongers, it would make me fell absolved.
Now my employers, too, call me a hero of war, so proud of me now that I lead the most successful operations here. Beneath the bed in my provided room, I have a small box. Inside are my medals, and my Honor. I won’t open that box again until I feel like I deserve them, and that box has been closed for ten years.
I carry a folded up flag, all fifty stars with thriteen stripes, because it reminds me of what I had hoped to be. I don’t trust the government, the politicians or the president. But I still carry the flag because it is the only flag I love, and the only thing I trust.
Could you say you’d be proud of me? Would you say I should be proud of myself?
When you read what I’ve written, could you say I was a hero of war, because I have never felt like one. Even if I am beyond hope of ever having my honor back, I’ll still carry that flag, into hell if I must.
I have to be vague here, so please understand.
