A new STAR WARS movie?? Why haven’t I heard anything about it?? [Insert sarcasm emoji here.]
We recently purchased a new sofa and loveseat for our den, so my husband and I may buy each other some new end tables and a new coffee table to complete the look. That will be our big gift to each other.
Deb, that furniture buy sounds great! Patrick and Katie will be coming home for Christmas so that’s the best gift Diane could want. I’m thrilled with my R2D2 mug!
I like it! Like you (and Deb, and probably everyone else) I am already tired of STAR WARS a week before it opens. The product placements are ubiquitous, and Disney is relentless in getting “news stories” (Star Wars ice cream!) into (supposedly) real newscasts. The most bizarre to me is the car ad – it’s so successful I can’t even remember which company it is – that seems to suggest a STAR WARS tie-in.
Enough already! (But I do like the mug a lot.)
Jeff, you’re right about Disney. Those guys know how to market. Disney made billions on FROZEN merchandise. They’d doing the same thing with STAR WARS!
Does it play STAR WARS music or Christmas songs?
Jeff, R2D2 beeps and there’s a cheerful melody and more beeps and whistles. Cute!
that is so cool, but how do you wash it? I’m not tired of the commercials, as I zip thru them (99% of what i watch on tv is taped). I hadn’t heard about the star wars ice cream! And I’m a disney stockholder, so was thrilled at frozen, etc.
I get emails from this freebie site, heyitsfree.org, and he posted something yesterday about google having star wars cardboard containers, which looked good but they were out of them. apparently they’d been out of them most of the year, popular they were. If I ever get one, it’ll be on the way to your house, George
Maggie, the “Santa cap” (where the eletronics reside) comes off and you can use the mug for liquids. I plan to just display my STAR WARS R2D2 mug to the envy of my family and friends.
A perfect present for my DIL but I bet it wouldn’t arrive in time. Maybe the Hallmark store.
Patti, Diane bought my STAR WARS R2D2 MUG at our local Hallmark store. And, she had a 20% OFF coupon!
George, haven’t seen it yet here in Hungary – though all the shops are full of merchandise, even our ALDI sells stuff like Star Wars popcorn …
We might buy some “leftovers” after Xmas – if there are any, but just for the grandchildren …
In a way it’s crazy how even in a relatively poor country like Hungary people are urged to buy, buy, buy – though often they have not enough money for the necessities of life.
PS and a bit OT:
The four year old granddaughter is watching “my little pony” on “her” tablet computer (actually it’s her father’s, but …) which is her all time favourite, so we were very happy to find a set of pony figures reduced from 10 000Forint to 5 000 (about 18$), ok for a special Xmas present!
And she already knows all the basic touch screen operations like going back and forth, opening another application etc …
Wolf, it seems that children all over the world want electronic devices for Christmas. I’ve seen 3-year-olds playing with iPads. Many of my student read books on their smartphones!
Cute, but as Maggie points out, probably doesn’t go in the dishwasher or the sink. I might look for one, but it’s RAINING LIKE HELL again today. We’re glad to be on a hill (as long as it doesn’t, um, slide). With no football worthy of a look today, we’ll bring in the tree and start the process, and I’ll finish up the Christmas cards..
Rick, we’re working on Christmas cards this weekend, too. But, no rain in our forecast only abnormally warm weather. Mid-December and still no snow here (not that I’m complaining).
I have a few Star Wars model kits and that’s enough for me!
Bob, I’m sure those STAR WARS models are worth a mint!
No! Some are recent and the old MPC kits aren’t very well made and don’t command much!
Bob, good to know. I just figured all those STAR WARS kits were worth their weight in gold!
George, I’m waiting to catch the new STAR WARS film this Christmas. It’s releasing a week later in India.
Prashant, there’s a STAR WARS frenzy going on here. Some people are already in line outside theaters (a week early!) waiting for the first showing of the movie!
