C7YB: Volatile

Today's comic touches on one of the scariest aspects of collecting anything "rare." I look at the prices some Vintage Star Wars items fetch these days, production stuff that's considered one-of-a-kind, and think "What if another one of those turns up in somebody's attic?" You're always taking a risk that there's a secret hoard out there undiscovered. We saw it happen with unpainted Micros, with Rocket Fett missiles, with loose Blue Snags and POTF '85 figures... all things rendered far less rare than originally thought. It's positively terrifying.

DOUBLE DRAGON

This “National Ale of Wales,” as it’s called om the label, is one of those beers I wanted to get around to covering, but couldn’t think of how to do it. I’d already used the Dragon from Shrek for roasting-chestnut-flavoured Christmas ale, I had plans for Beast Wars TransMetal ...

This is a letter I received in response to my letter to Disney asking them to salvage the Clone Wars. It's interesting how the response came from Lucasfilm and not from Disney. The only thing I blocked out was they had my complete home address at the top. This is old news after the release regarding Star Wars: Rebels, but still it was nice to receive a thoughtful response.

FOREST FRUITS

Wychwood brewery mixes beer with fruit again in this week’s review, something I really think they should test more before they send their products to market. Their Pumpking ale was lovely, their Snake’s Bite beer / cider hybrid from last week’s review was too bitter, and this ...

NEWCASTLE NOCTURNAL

. . . he is Bat-Bot! (Taken from the “Shattered Glass: Solar Requiem””box set.) By day, Ratbat is your everyday, happy-go-lucky member of the lazy, rich elite. By night, he switches his colour-change paint to a grey-and-navy theme, and takes wing as an anonymnous detective out to bring ...

So here I am again, ripping off Beedo's schtick because I found a beer bottle that matched well with a Star Wars toy. This time it's "Hibernator" by Long Trail Brewing Company of Vermont (which always reminds me of my favorite old University of Virginia football heckle when playing our ...

Got up shortly after 6 am as I had a lot of stuff to do before heading downtown. Had some cereal for breakfast, then grabbed everything I wanted to get signed and headed out. First stop was the bank, to get some much needed $$$. Problem was, payday wasn't until ...

SNAKE’S BITE

I’m publishing this review a day early to piggyback on the big Masters of the Universe Day event that’s spreading through certain corners of the Internet. Nobody sent me a memo, so it came as a bit of a surprise. Anywho . . . .

Wychwood Brewery has been ...

I was recently interviewed by Tri-logo.info about my Tri-logo collection. It was a fun experience, and I even learned a thing or two about my own collection. Good stuff! It's been a long time since I've talked about my Tri-logos.

Click on my awesome miscarded 3PO to read the whole interview (or the link I posted above... either works... I'm really just trying to pad out the article a bit at this point).

So George Lucas is getting married this summer, right here in Chicago! Makes you wonder what that wedding will be like?

• How many SW celebrities will be in attendance?
• Will the event be real, or mostly CGI?
• Will they film the event in high def, or 3D? (Oh wait, the ...
