FF:SA Collecting around Adelaide.... What's new

we've all seen 'darth tater', right?

 

Hope they bring out a Stormie version as well..... so getting that one

 

how about the Wookie Water Blaster????

I kid you not. There is one. Go look on the Hasbro site. Verrrry interesting indeed. Strange, but true.



And now.....



I must study.


When will I ever get to sleep??????

 

Well if anything is going to instill fear and trembling into the galaxy its Darth Tater. So what's that make Luke and Leia - Tater Tots?

 

When you guys talk about Insider, I assume you are talking about the SW magazine???

I remember a long time ago hearing about it coming out in Oz, but never ended up getting any.

What's it like???

For the record I am a big collector of the Novels, anyone wanna talk about them???

 

1. Yes, the insider refers to the mag.
2. Yes, its available at either Tony's(adelaide comic centre)or Borders.
Tony's cheaper.
3. Ok, what do you want to know about the novels ?

 

The comics are the best source for filling in the gaps between eps.II & III.

 

hmmm...I'll have to get me one of those mags.

Cool I figured most of you guys would be into the novels. I've been collecting them for a few years, but have beeen a bit out of touch lately. To but it bluntly I only just got the first book of the NJO, and frankly woudn't be reading it for a while, cuz of a million other things.
However I am just about to start the third book of the Jedi Academy, which has been one of my fav so far. I have also read and X-wings, Thrawn, Han Solo, Bakura, Shadow Hunter, and more...

Who do you guys think have the best range???

I reck Borders and Dymock in the Mall. Plus there is a sweet second store on Peel st. off Hindley.

Anyone got into the Clone War Novels yet? Anygood?

 

Every novel seems to centre on 1 character only.
Need more blanketing of events & characters.
Most of these novels are too vague.
A good read, but factually skinny to the whole storyline.

 

You mean for example:

Dark Rondenzuos = Yoda
Shatter Point = Mace Windu
Jedi Trail = Ankin

What your opinion of the NJO* Series

*No Spoilers Please

 

Waaaaayyyy too long.
Lost interest several times.

 

HEY Guys!

On Twin St.(Off Rundle Mall) there is a very very cool piece on a dumpster. It is Speeder Trooper on his Speeder.

Next time you all in there check it out.

Peace Out. MD

 

I'm into the novels as well (though my collection hardly encompasses them all) and I'd say the NJO was not the best. A few good books interspersed with some poor ones.

I've just got into the comics and sense a deep pit of money about to come into existence...

 

fox has all the novels as well - he even gave me a couple of Michael Stackpole novels that are signed for one christmas!! He's just gotten into listening to the audio books and has given me copies, when I find time to listen to them is another thing altogether!! I enjoy reading the novels, although I don't have an extensive collection - I just borrow from fox!!

So yeah, more of us than was mentioned read the books, but as you would know M-D, Uni gets in the way a lot of reading these days...I usually use the holidays to catch up, but this semester break...well...studying during it didn't help!

BTW - where did you think I got the nickname Winter from? And Nawara-Ven!!

 

Just curious, what exactly are all of us into i know we have some people into costuming and some that arent. Whats sort of things do you guys like collecting??? eg. Novels, collectables, figurines, R.P.G's ????

 

Did M-D just say he* hangs around dumpsters?

My collecting has been tempered over the years, but I still keep up with the comics and some figures specialising mainly on one character. I'm sure you can guess who it is and I sense my wallet taking a beating this year


* I'm using this in a gender inclusive manner since his profile page is giving nothing away

 

mmmm.... Dumpster.

 

SOOO... Like Vader eh?
**looks around awkwardly, seems concerned and have seen all that Vader stuff in one spot**

 

COMICS!

I'd love to get into the comics but won't know were to start, been scoping all the places in the city out, and I like the look of that new Obession 5 part series, but can I still get number one of that series?

If anyones feels like giving me a brief histroy and/or guide, please feel free!

 

M-D,

Just quickly, you can check out http://www.darkhorse.com/zones/starwars/index.php to find out what's what.

Number one of Obsession might be still available - check Adelaide comics (in the Mansions arcade off Pulteney St). Most of the single issue comics eventually appear in a collected form as a trade paperback, so that might be your preferred form.

There are ongoing series "Republic" (filling in between Ep II and III) and "Empire" (post Ep IV) at the moment. Most of these are either one-shot stories or over two or three issues, so you can come in at any point.

There is also Star Wars Tales which comes out every three months as a collection of individual stories.

What is currently on my wish-list is Star Wars - Panel to Panel

 

Star Wars videogames. From the Atari 2600 to the XBox/Gamecube/PS2. I have heaps. Have played through many of them too, although I recently lost interest with Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast. The former because I've reached an area that I have no idea what to do in and the latter because....well, I just started to play a bunch of other non SW games *shrug*.

But yeah, must get back to them. I have about 10 games on the go at the moment and I bet it'll be next time on holidays that I have a chance to get into them again...

 

Everything.

 

Cheers Meanders.

I'll get stuck into, and my wallett. I saw Jedi Tales the SITH WAR on TPB, as I am almost finished the Jedi Academy Books I think it will go down a treat...

Peace MD
