As someone who has memorized most of the lines from the original Star Wars movies, I am all about celebrating the original, mint-in-box goodness of those heady Jedi days. And if you've got the credits, you can even buy a piece of geek hi…

If I had a quarter for every quarter I dumped into that Donkey Kong arcade game in the 80's...well, I suppose I'd have all my quarters back. And then factoring in interest and rate of inflation, I'd easily be able to by 100 sets of these…
