Connie -- no I am looking for the Kurt Adler Jawa fabriche figure from Target. That is the final piece I need to complete the collection.
Here is a link to it: http://www.kurtadler.com/consumer_catalog/product_detail.php/pid=303380~subid=154116/index.html
We already own the Hallmark 30th anniversary Jawa ornament. But thank you anyway for the kind gesture!! 
You're lucky - all of the Target and Wal-Mart stores here in NY are completely out of their Christmas stock. Not a single item remains from their holiday line, even on Clearance.

LOL...
Justin...the only reason we have merchandise available is because I live on the outer rings...lol. I live in a suburb of Y-Town, and so whatever my Hallmark has goes on clearance for a while. I am going to have to check out that link. Not to make you sick to your stomache, but when I picked up my Star Wars ornamnents at Target, I passed on a glass looking Yoda ornament. I sure hope it is not the same one...lol.
Hugs,
Connie

Nope, not the same one, thank goodness. However, that does look dang cute. Now I want one. This is an obsession now, I think I will need to go to Star Wars Rehab...lol.

LOL - at least it is a good obsession, right? Nothing wrong with scouring the retail galaxy for SW treasures!

I'm lucky... I'm pretty much done. Aside from the books and the comics, there is not much out there for me (Padme stuff). I'm waiting on that one Sideshow maquette. Who knows if there will be anything after that.

LucasArts decision to push back the release of TFU until August has me a little upset. Not that the game was in fact delayed - this usually results in a more well polished game in the end. But the fact that it was pushed back until August is what bothers me. August is when we will all be getting hyped up for the release of the new Clone Wars animated series (and the possible rumored theatrical release of the first three episodes).
I would have preferred LucasArts to have chosen a different month to release TFU instead of cramming two huge Star Wars events into one single month. I just think that each of these events deserves their own "time in the limelight" in terms of a release month and all the associated coverage and excitement that comes with a new SW event such as these.
Now we don't know why August was chosen as the scheduled release month for TFU - production delays or cost factors may have played into that decision. But all things being equal, I would have much rather have seen LucasArts separate TFU and The Clone Wars release months. Spread it out for us die-hard fans and extend the SW hype and anticipation throughout 2008 a little more.

Hey Helen -- Not sure if you saw this already, but I saw this posted earlier today and thought you would be very interested.
It is the new SW Evolutions The Padme Amidala Legacy 3-Pack of figures.
Here's the link for pre-order at Toys R Us: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2886439#prod_prodinfo
I think this would make a great addition to your Padme Amidala collection.

Justin, thanks so much for that link! I haven't been keeping up with the figures, and I would have missed it, I'm sure.

Thought I'd share some pics of the SW Celebration scrapbook that I recently completed. It contains articles & goodies from all 5 Celebrations, and it currently is large enough to almost fill up two 2" storage binders.
Here's the Photobucket album link: http://s164.photobucket.com/albums/u31/jlasalata/SW%20Celebration%20Articles/
Thanks!

Sorry I missed it... would have been funny to see. Speaking of collectables, I FINALLY got my hands on one of those Adam Hughes Leia prints. I've wanted this thing since last May and my girlfriend bought it for me as a early Valentines Day gift. It's so nice. I can't wait to have it professionally framed. I think it's got to be the single best piece of Star Wars art I've ever seen.

I too, was very sorry when I heard this news. Those of us who were at C-IV know his work well. My condolences go out to his family.
This is a link to his official site, where many of the SW artists and others are posting messages of remembrance. His fans are encouraged to do so, to:

The loss of John Alvin was pretty devastating to the entire SW community. I'm glad to see that my letter that I sent to his family is posted on the website.
I encourage all fans of his work to send their condolences to the Alvin family.
