Don’t leave it all unsaid, somewhere in the wasteland of your head…
OK, I promised myself that when I finally had Blogger’s Block, I’d do this. Here it is. This is the rarest HASBRO (and Star Wars related) artifact EVER. EVER people. Do you get me? I know because I saw the rest of them meet their merciless fates in the maws of journalists, web-sters, and anyone you can imagine who could lay hands on one. (Our own Mike Sullenger said it was "really, really good".) Me? Never! I hid mine and smuggled it through security to spend a chunk of a year in my freezer.
Now ladies and gentlemen (and gentledroids, I suppose), I present to you the Hasbro Cookie.
So, since it’s a holiday weekend, and there’s probably Sweet FA to do, it’s open blog time. Write what you want, as long as it’s not spam, and have fun.
Normally I’d be covering Dragon*Con here in Atlanta, but they do not consider my efforts to be beneficial to the convention. So this particular Labor Day weekend, I’ll actually be laboring on my own homestead and hoping for toy news to pop up.
As I said open comments, open blog… just not spam, and have fun. Ta!

There are no words… I know how I feel about the cookie as a SNACK FOOD. I had never considered the cookie as a COLLECTIBLE. How long can a cookie stay mint in package? If I one day caved… opened the cookie and consumed it, what would happen? Who would be responsible for any possible side effects? Lucasfilm? Hasbro? The Muffin Man???

Well this cookie has stayed in my sub-zero since last Toy Fair. I don’t know if it’s edible at this point, but I wasn’t putting that much sugar into my bloodstream at once!
At one point I considered auctioning off the cookie for
batteriescharity, but now I’m scared of it. What say you?August 30th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Auction? Only with the proper disclaimers. "May cause sugar coma… or possibly the trots."

Hasbro hasn’t issued a recall I guess….Have they? :b
P.S. – Adam, I’m not a Dragon Con either…So that sucks. Hopefully next year I guess.

Good thing it wasn’t Hasbro carton of milk and cookies…then I’d think you’d need a carbon freezing chamber to keep it minty fresh!

Well, the new wave of collectibles seems to be frozen baked goods:London, August 29: A piece of wedding cake from Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer’s wedding in 1981 was sold off for 1,000 pounds ($1,830) by a former royal servant, according to an auctioneer’s sale listing.

I’m always ahead of the trends, see. Now who wants to pay me for my Hasbro cookie???
