Postman brought an Amazon order containing Abyss and the new SW Atlas. And I'm in the Atlas! Go to Amazon and see: SW Atlas. Go to 'Look Inside' and go forward to the Acknowledgements page. Look in the second column and my TFN username is right above George Lucas! Also in there are Sinrebirth, Rogue_Follower and dp4m, amongst others Lit folks. grin grin


Oh, wow! Congrats, LAJ_Fett! That must be a real honor to be mentioned in a Star Wars book. I still need to get the Essential Atlas, though. Looks really informative about the planets and trade routes and such of the Star Wars galaxy.

Thanks! The book looks great. I haven't had time to read much but I've had a good thumbing through looking at the maps. I definitely recommend it.

Just got the new Star Wars Insider, issue #112. Has Obi-Wan on the cover! Looks very cool. Tuesday I will be picking up the new The Clone Wars Clone Commandos DVD, along with either a TCW or the new Episode I figures.

That means I should get mine in a few weeks. It comes out later in the UK.

I picked up the new SW Annual 2010 in a local bookstore. These are really geared toward the youth market but I like them. This one is geared toward the film characters but there was also one for the Clone Wars series.

I just got the new The Clone Wars: Clone Commandos DVD. And also got the Episode I Obi-Wan figure from the Legacy Collection. Someone took the last Cad Bane.... I also saw the new clone Turbo Tank. Definitely on my Christmas list.

Picked up SW Legacy #5 tpb at 30% off in a bookstore local closing-down sale on Saturday. (I'm going to miss that store. I bought a lot of SW books there).

Just scored HK-47 (build-a-droid) on eBay for $20 shipped. I think it's worth it because I didn't care about *any* of the figures in that wave, and if I'd bought them all separately at $7+ a pop, HK-47 would have cost me over $40.

I love HK-47, though. I'm really glad I got a figure of him.

Added a bunch of droids to the collection, courtesy of eBay. I got I-5YQ, R5-A2, R3-T2, and R5-J2.

I loves me some astromech droids - I've got 19 different ones so far. dancing

I also got the new Slave Outfit Leia figure that just came out - her ragged skirt-think hides it (as in, you can't tell when she's in the packaging), but her legs are, uh, kinda short and fat. It looks really weird - her arms, torso, and belly are slender, and then her legs look really disproportionate. I might see if I can somehow swap the legs with the older Slave Leia figure that came out, because the legs look a lot better on that figure, but the head, arms, and body are a lot better on the new one.

For the first time in ages I bought a Star Wars item. The local Sainsbury's is selling SW toys for half price and I got the galactic heroes version of Darth Vader. I thought it was rather cute. happy

I have a few sets of those as well - mostly Fett-related.

I just got The Clone Wars: Complete Season 1 box set DVD, and got The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition for PlayStation 3. They are both packaged so beautifully. I already own TFU for 360 and Wii, but got Ultimate Sith Edition for PS3 so I could spruce it up. Going to get Battlefront: Elite Squadron sometime next week, and start getting some more SW novels and comics.
