He is showing up everywhere. DW and I were watching one of our favorite shows, "Deadliest Catch", and he showed up there with some clips!!

He looks good in HD!!

Not only have I played the games, I actually printed out the Wall-E's out of paper at first, then actually went out and bought index card stock and made more printouts for people at work!!

We have a 'window' between front and back of house--no glass, but a window, none the less-- and there's a whole fleet of Wall-E's on that sill. And management came in and saw them and started playing with them, too!!

Mind you, even though I printed the sheets at home, we all cut them out and assembled them while we were on the clock at work--it's a DISNEY product, so management didn't have a problem with it!!

He's so cute!!!!!!! I can't wait to go see the movie!!!!!!!!
Awesome!!! :) Pictures???

I'll take some when I go back to work on Thursday. It'll give me one more excuse to practice with my new camera before I go to NYC in late July.

When I got to D/L Thursday i went to the little green men store at the astro blaster exit and asked about Wall-E and they told me they would have toys the next day. So Friday I went by and got a small toy Wall-E action figure. They had him in "factory new" and his used appearence along with Eve and the captain. they also had a larger version where you could change his arms and an even larger version that would do things like a furbie did, talk and move his head and remember things. I only got the small one for now but I am thinking about the big one, but I havent seen the remote control one yet. I do hope to see him at DCA in august, I would have thought they would have added him to the Pixar play parade, I would have had him bringing up the rear behind Mater. Maybe if Disney hired me as an idea man that would have happened, great chance to promote the movie.

They'll probably start a pre-parade at Disney for him any day now. We currently have Prince Caspian running, but isn't that movie just about done with it's theater run? We've had Ratatouille, Enchanted and then got Enchanted back for the DVD release.

We may *try* to get down to DL next week...
SURPRISE!!!!
for a couple days before my surgery. MAYBE!!!!! So I will have to look for him at Little Green Men if we do make it. It is a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG shot right now, hotels are pretty booked and my back is really in pain 24/7 now.
Gotta get the Wall-E swag, if I can get it before surgery, I can have the little robot to keep me company whilst I recover... :D:
YAY Wall-E!!!! :wall-e:

I just went over to the Visa site, TOO CUTE! I am going to print out hundreds ;) of Wall-E's. Ralph will have to watch where he walks! :p:
I am going to use that photo paper to print them on, it's thickerer and I have a box of it here. I just have to wait til the store opens, we are out of yellow ink cartridges! AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Why does yellow always run out first? I know, I know, it mixes with everything to make other colors....But the dummies package em all wrong, they need to put at least 2 yellow in the package to 1 magenta and maybe 2 azure. I have a shitload of magenta cartridges left...Never use that stuff up... I digress...

I need to print Wall-E and have him EVERYWHERE in the house. Just waiting til I can get the other Wall-Es, maybe AT the Park itself :D: and we will be there on the 27th, when it opens nationwide...I bet it will be showing at the DTD theatre and we can watch it there, unless there are too many people wanting to see it then. :( (stream of conciousness here folks.. :rolleyes: )
Well, if it is not too crowded at DTD we shall see it there, maybe the latest showing on the 27th or 28th, IF we go. If not, we WILL go see it here on the 27th!
I want Wall-E!!!!!!! :wall-e:
