The winner is …
Well my other favorite character won the LEGO minifigure Madness.
For a few year Star Wars site ran similar bracket challenges. Darth Vader was always in the finals.
http://thisismadness.starwars.com/ It was always him verses a Jedi for the title.
Light side vs Dark side LEGO Minifigure Finale
Two of my favorite characters against each other for the title.
LEGO Star Wars Minifigure Madness round 3
I am once again asking you to vote for Yoda. Also vote for Darth Vader and R2D2. The Bounty Hunter bracket is tough but Fett wouldn’t have his armor back without Din.

Tolkien Reading Day!
Tolkien Reading Day is an annual event, launched by The Tolkien Society in 2003, that takes place on March 25. It has the aim of encouraging the reading of the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, and the use of Tolkien’s works in education and library groups. The date of March 25 was chosen in honour of the fall of Sauron, in Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.

New Crazy Bricks Kickstarter Tuesday
Crazybricks has a new kickstater launching Tuesday October 13. The new set is Brick Buddies and features brick built animals. So far there are just some illustrations.Â
This will be a blind bag series with two Brick buddies in each bag. Not sure how I feel about blind bag for a kickstarter set. I know it will be a quality product since it is Crazy Bricks. It’s just a long wait to get a fig I may not  like then have to again and hope I get the Watermelon cat. Plus it’s only been three month since the Dino Dudes campaign ended. My wallet needs a longer break. Don’t know about pricing yet, We’ll find out soon.
Day one supporters will get a Brick Buddies top hat.
Note: The campaign was suppose to state last week but there was a delay.
Once the campaign goes live I’ll post about it here
Vintage Empire
This is so cool. A fan made film using Kenner action figures. This film recreates The Empire Strikes Back using a story book record.
Black Panther comics free on Comixology and Others
Comixology has a huge library of free Black Panther comics on their site. There is no announcement on the site about it. But if you go to Comixology or reportedly, the Marvel app and search for Black Panther, the single issues are free. The big collections are not but you get the same stories in singles anyway. So search series then pick some to read.
This includes the 70’s series and more recent issues. I reading some vintage series now. When I finish the story arc, I’ll jump to the current era.
