ladybug_archiveThat 18-inch Boba Fett figure is still at Wal-Mart. I thought sure it would have been sold. I looked in stores on my birthday, but I couldn't find it anywhere else. Now I wish we'd gone to the local Wal-Mart on my birthday, for more reasons than one. I don't know if it's phasing out or phasing in, making me worry I really need to get that one quickly.
Problem is, right now some of my money is in transit and hasn't arrived yet, so the only way to get it right now would be to ask Dad for $10. Or to take $10 from some money he had for us to use for needed things. But ... I kind of hate to take any of his money to buy something that he wouldn't be too thrilled for me to get.
I think my money will be available Wednesday, but maybe by then someone will have bought it. And it would be hard to get Dad to go to Wal-Mart again this week, I think.
I have tried and tried to tell myself every excuse I can think of to get me to not want that figure. But it's almost impossible to tell that to someone who's found something very cool involving a character she's loved since she was five or six.
I even tried to convince myself that maybe I'd be leery of having such a big figure of a character that canonically really isn't very friendly. But it didn't help. Seeing it again tonight was like seeing an old friend (which it really feels like he is, after loving him for so long). I know I wouldn't be leery at all.
