The Mon Mothma autograph is sweet!!!!

Let's see a pic of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, Ms. Blakiston is such a sweet person. I correspond with her periodically still. When I met her, my son was just an infant. She held him and sang old folk songs and lullabies to him. I'll never forget that.

Really??? That is sweet as hell!!! Getting sung to by Mon Mothma!!! Did she tell him bed time stories about dead Botham Spies???

Do you tHink you could get me a autograph??? Obviously I would send you $$$$ if need be!!!!

We have an understanding that I would not pass around her information. But, perhaps in my next letter to her, if I include an International Reply Coupon and your name, she may do it. I have to tread delicately here. I hope you can dig that.

Oh totally!!!!

If you can't I understand.... no worries... I don't want you to burn any bridges!!!

I heard she signs through the mail and her info is posted on Wattographs.... eventually I thought I would try to do it through that.

You wouldn't even have to say its for me or have it personalized to me!!!! Just pretend its to add to your own collection!!!

Holy Crapola on a stick.

I haven't written her since before I got a new computer, and I can't find her address! I got the one from Wattographs and I think it's the right one, but then I found another one.

Good grief.

The eBay seller has responded and said he would send the correct Barada weapon in the morning. Fingers crossed!

No Star Wars stuff arrived today, but I did get my Hot Toys Big Chap Alien and Dog Alien. Unfortunately, I can't get the Dog Alien's leg to snap into place so I gotta return it.

False alarm! I got the leg snapped in. Man, Hot Toys are masters of this scale!

Those are killer as hell. Love the Dog Alien.

Talk about a great movie franchise that was killed by too many sequels.... Alien!!!!! They should have stopped making them after Alien and Aliens!!! Even those Alien vs Predator movie were poop!!!!

Indeed. But, I have always loved H.R. Giger's Dog Alien design. Alien 3 had the potential to become a good film, but the suits didn't allow David Fincher the freedom that the story demanded and compromises were made, resulting in the first piece of crap in a series of pieces of crap. The Alien 3 Special Edition is closer to Fincher's vision, but you can't restore and replace footage that wasn't shot. At least not on a DVD budget. Oh well.

I agree with you totally... the art design and Aliens were amazing... in all the films!!!! But once you got past 2... the stories and cast were horrid!!!

Amanaman, Paploo, Imperial Dignitary, Leia Bespin turtleneck, and R2 with pop-up lightsaber arrived today. It's down to the wire now!

Dont forget to leave feedback for me!!!

I started a feedback thread for you a couple days ago!!!!

I got to agree with that i love Alien and Aliens for very different reasons but the rest of the franchise is popcorn crap imo

I left feedback for you buddy.

I don't know how, but I somehow skipped over having loose examples of the Rebo Band and EV-9D9. So, the search continues....

Lol, it never ends m8!

I've locked down the band and EV, and I just won a Marion Ravenwood. Cool!

Nice! Are you going for a run of Indy figures too?

Sort of. I already have most of it, and just need the German Mechanic, Belloq in white suit, and Indy in German Disguise.

Hey guys,

How much would YOU pay for a Droid Factory R2-D2? I'm bidding on one on eBay, and although I've been in the game a LOOOOOOONG time, I still like to get input from others. I have seen this version of R2 go for more than the entire Droid Factory itself, which I need as well but I'm not as concerned about it as I am the R2.

Thoughts? Input?

I haven't followed them too much lately, but I think around $20-$30 is about the going rate on one.

That's what I thought as well, but this one has already gone up to $40. Someone on RS wants that same amount for a Droid Factory with box. Oh well.
