Star Wars Insider
I got the new Star Wars Insider yesterday. This is issue 50 and features Hayden Christensen on the cover. Featured is a pretty long interview with Hayden along with an interview with the actress who played Aurra Sing (who sounds real cool).
GenCon 2000
Scheduled August 10-13 at the Milwaukee convention center. Antony Daniels (who is really great in person) is the guest of honor and Michonne Bourriague (Aurra Sing), Michael A. Stockpole (Rogue Squadron author), and Steven Sansweet will be there. According to the short blurb in the Insider, Sansweet will be doing a knock-off of Antiques Roadshow, so bring in your Star Wars collectible.
New Local Web Site
Another good local site is up and running. Check out The Kenosha Wisconsin Collectors Club.
Picture Needed
I am looking for a good, color, close up picture of the Bantha Skull emblem. This is the one located on Boba Fett's left shoulder. I need it for an "art" project. This doesn't have to be an on-line picture; it would help even if I were pointed in the right direction. This would be like saying "see book XXX, page 32.
Cards for Sale or Trade
I have several sets of Episode I Widevision cards. Mostly Series 1, but a couple sets of Series 2. I would want $5 per set and welcome trade ideas. I also have some extra stickers and foil cards. If you want any of these, let me know.
Wanted
I am looking for foreign-carded figures. I have started getting more into the foreign-carded figures now that it is slow. If you have any that you want to sell or trade, please get in touch with me.
