NEW YORK -- Legions of die-hard Star Wars fans braved a dip craft ideas for making a leafy crown for toga costume in the april weather as they anxiously awaited batman deluxe costume adult the batman opening of select toy retailers for the midnight launch of toy lines from "star wars: episode ii: attack of the clones."the toys "r" us times square store in new york city threw open its doors at 12:01 a.m., filing approximately 200 fans toward its second floor star wars display. the retailer outfitted its largest special feature shop as adult batman costume star wars museum of sorts, complete with an authentic luke clients can hang out with some of nickelodeon''s popular cartoon characters or their favorite super heroes while staying at universal orlando this spring and summer.the nicktoon spring fling (valid for travel through june costume 27) and the super hero summer vacation making (valid for travel between june 30 and sept. 1) both feature a five days'' unlimited admission to universal studios and islands of adventure, front-of-line access to all universal batman orlando attractions and city walk party passes. chucky comes armed with weapons, big and powerful ones, mostly on defense, which just costume happens to be the best around. and his beloved offense actually is showing signs of strength, now that it had its way last sunday against the eagles, the nfl''s only other bona fide defensive outfit.such story lines in this game: gruden vs. al davis; gruden vs. rich gannon; gruden vs. the raider nation; warren making sapp vs. everyone; keyshawn johnson whining about everything; the ancient raiders warriors trying to win a super bowl before entering a retirement home; the nfl clapping with zeal at the intense interest all this will create to finish off what already has been one fascinating season.it will be the raiders not because davis says it will be, but because they have the offense that, a of any in the batman league, can best joust with the bucs'' defense. gannon will not become donovan mcnabb and deteriorate in the face of the tampa bay schemes. he will be consistent and accurate and patient, and that will be enough. monte kiffin looks like a sidekick to an old-time western movie star. his face is thin, lined and florida tanned, and he sort of crackles when he talks. he is nothing close to what you would expect of a premier defensive mind, but mister, can this man coach. he''s been at it 20 years in the nfl, seven with the bucs, a career assistant with gifts matched by very few of his peers.in a super bowl full of these dark and shining story lines, kiffin''s aw-shucks demeanor isn''t going to command the room. but his schemes will envelop the raiders'' offensive coaching staff, for sure, in the days and hours before this championship game."they put you to an extreme mental test," says chris palmer, the texans'' offensive coordinator. "what they do is not extremely complicated. but it is executed incredibly well by costume a lot of great athletes. you face a team with undersized linebackers but with overall tremendous team speed. they say speed kills. tampa is a perfect example."
