flea market finds: "The Force" is strong with this one

a few weeks ago, i was browsing through my favorite thrift shop when i came across a Transformers and a C3PO mask (am assuming we all know what am talking about). my first instinct was "i have to get me one of those" (even if i am not a total geek or sci-fi fan). they were in good condition and was selling for £5 each. i mulled it over while i browsed some more around the store and finally decided that am not going to buy them that time because they're not a "need" but a "want". when i came home, i can't stop thinking about them! i had to have them! so the next day i went back but the masks were gone. turned out, a couple of kids bought them after they dragged their moms to the shop.anyway, to make a long story short, when i visited the shop the next time, i saw Darth Vader (in great condition and he comes with a tiny microphone inside attached to that black voice box) lurking in a corner and without even thinking about it this time, i bought him. he is now at home....lurking in a corner.
