    Picked up a new one-off magazine put out by SFX and TotalFilm here in the UK - George Lucas, the Man, the Myths, the Movies. You can see some pages from it here. For those in the UK, I found it for £9.99 at my local WH Smiths. It was in the SF/Film magazine section.

    Wow, quite expensive then. Looks like an interesting read though.

    Yeah, it is expensive. It's also 146 pages so longer than a normal issue of either magazine.

    I am looking to get that as well. Received lot of 10 vintage figures mostly from ROTJ, Vintage Millennium Falcon handle for ball (just need ball now!) stickers/decals, Speedbike flaps, Death Star rope and panels, and a large lot of ships/vehicles. All included their original boxes, such as ROTJ AT-ST missing parts, Y-Wing with stickers sheet, instructions, and most parts, B-Wing with instruction sheet and all parts, Landspeeder in great shape, and Battle damaged X-Wing no instructions. Great lot and even though some boxes have water damage, a great find, and helps when you get a special treat finding mint R2 and X-Wing Luke inside your Y-Wing [face_dancing]

    Off-topic note for UK folks - I got the June issue of SFX magazine in the post today and it contains a tribute to Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock. If you're a Spock fan keep an eye out on the newsstands for it.

    I won a few cool things on ebay - got a Han Solo and Leia Disney exclusive Mr. Potato heads loose for a steal. I also will have a General Anakin Skywalker Sideshow 1/6 scale figure coming...finally. His prices spiked for the past year or so, I finally got one at not too bad of a price.

    You're cleaning up on the vintage whostheBossk!

    I picked up one of the 18" Jakks Pacific Stormtroopers today at a thrift shop - woot!

    Almost picked up some digital commemorative edition sets today. Shame they had to use the Rebels line. Would have been cool otherwise.

    Wullfwarro and Wookiee Warrior mission series pack arrived today. Resorted to Amazon in the end as I had a gift voucher...

    I know people have not liked these Wookie figures but they look good to me. This Rebels line is great I think, just what I was after, fun colourful kids toys with a touch of the old school about them (I'm only collecting the characters from the animated show rather than the Classic and Clone Wars characters also in this same Hasbro SL/MS range)

    I know, I got one of the funny Jakks Pacific Yoda flashlights also a while ago too. Stormie's got a few marks on his face but I think I can get them off. He's in really great shape otherwise.

    I have sooo many Clone Wars ships that I've picked up at thrift shops. I really need to get myself a couple more bookcases so I can set up a CW display w/ them all. They might be missing cockpit covers but I don't really care, they're just battle damaged :p

    The actual show figures look fantastic! It's the movie figures that are very... blah.

    I've picked up some odds and ends! Leia card sleeves, Heir to the Jedi, and today I bought Star Wars Bounty Hunter and Rogue Squadron 3 on Gamecube. Great condition!

    Ha, yes, I am still on those levels and I have had the game for like 12 years! I have the cheat codes, but I always go back to where I haven't got passed and just cannot manufacture time and energy to get passed it.

    I managed to make it through there without cheat codes but failed at the later level where you start encountering the Bando Gora snipers. I died many times there. Finally had to use a cheat on it to move on.

    Well I bought Bounty Hunter on PS2, along with The Clone Wars season 2 on Blu-ray. Both arrived today, and looking forward to playing BH tonight.

    The Tusken snipers were way worse. Bastards made a level where half the time you're forced to fly over really deep canyons nigh impossible to beat. [face_beatup]
