Just wondering,

I received my Mini TIE today, and for such a small scale it looks fairly good.
But what's so great about it?????  Why would anyone pay thirty bucks for
this???  I'm not a large Star Wars fan (I mean, I don't drool over a poster of
Episode {n}, or complain that the official X-wing set is one stud to short), but
I still don't know why the world is going nuts over a 12 piece set.

Okay, I better stop ranting, sorry about that.

The big deal is people are dumb.  They think it's worth 30 bucks and I bet
people might actually buy it too.  I saw on ebay once, a pair of storm
trooper bodies with a Han and Luke heads on em.  They were "exclusive" Han
and Luke in stormtrooper armor figs, apparently valuable and rare.  I don't
remember if they sold or how much, but it was a pretty hefty asking price,
like 20 bucks maybe.  I dunno, some people are just dumb.

Hehe, I remember seeing that.  I thought "Wow, what a lame set!" But still,
business is business.  Kind of sneaky, yet funny.
