Calrissian. No more bad paint jobs on blank brown minfig heads!
For whatever reason some of the Collectors sets are listed as ship by 31 Dec
2002 and others 11 Feb 2003...

Interesting observations, I must agree. I was able to pick up 3562 and 3563
at WalMart today.  They had all of them except 3565 (with Paul Pierce)  They
were in a box at the base of the display, I'm not sure whether they were
supposed to be there or not... there were no other 2003 sets.  However, on a
side note, Dirk Nowitzki from 3562 makes a great Phil Donahue. :)

Looking forward to Mace and Lando,
