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.

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 ...

FORTYNINER

Ringwood Brewery, located in the New Forest, has wild-boar-themed labels on its beers. There are actually quite a few pig-themed action figures out there, but I don’t own many of them. So it is with no small amount of glee that I’ve found some good beer / toy synergy for ...
