It's like Jar-Jar - forced funny. It makes it seem like Star Wars is just for kids when the expanded universe can be so deep and occasionally dark. I know, I know, I need to keep an open mind and see where this goes...but it's hard. From what I've heard, Disney is rebooting the story line. <br />On the other hand, I really like the artwork!Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-69212937830041454912014-06-10T22:48:11.407-04:002014-06-10T22:48:11.407-04:00I was going to give the same warning.

All your posts about Disney have made me want to go again, and I <i>finally</i> managed to talk my husband into it for 2016 (it will take that long for us to save!) I've talked about your posts with him and thought it would be really cool (and handy!) to have many of those things altogether in one place.<br /><br />:)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122010407341817008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-75765724390425532232014-06-10T02:51:26.216-04:002014-06-10T02:51:26.216-04:00Another fan of the Metalworks/Metal Earth kits her...Another fan of the Metalworks/Metal Earth kits here! The cool variety and level of detail keeps increasing with each batch of new sets. Craft pliers are a must and occasionally the construction order of some pieces could be improved, though I didn't manage to break anything until working on my 5th kit.

No hems, cheap polyester, seams not "locked" so they unravel, etc.; you'd be lucky to have it hold up through a Halloween party, much less rock a con in it. I'm not sure how to post a link here, and The Vulcan is deep in meditative slumber, so I'll just say this; if you want to laugh in horror, Google their "Official Licensed Klingon costumes". By the Sword of Kahless, they are an abomination.<br /><br />Speaking of 'im Indoors, he used to enjoy making model spaceships (both fictional and real life Apollo mission stuff) in his youth, and I think he'd groove on those models in a BIG way. So thanks, girl; you've provided me with an inexpensive gift idea for him BESIDES yet ANOTHER book. We've bookcases FULL of them, all over; I like to read and all, but swear to Bowie, my man is part Spock and part Burgess Meredith in the "Twilight Zone" episode "Time Enough At Last"; he is a voracious reader/hoarder of books and reads every time he gets a moment! <br /><br />Myself, I am LIVING for the Ralph McQuarrie pin of his early concept for C-3PO, when the design was still based on the robot "Maria" from the silent masterpiece "Metropolis"; I'd be too tempted to "ruin the collectability" by opening it up and wearing the pin as a scarf-tack.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />StormStorm the Klingonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-36239533793481286412014-06-09T02:32:03.539-04:002014-06-09T02:32:03.539-04:00Oh man.. those mini pin and art sets are awesome! ...Oh man.. those mini pin and art sets are awesome!
