This blog is about to turn 10. What should I do for tenth anniversary?
Here’s one of the first images I posted. The blog started out focusing on Yoda Action figure. Eventually I added LEGO Minifigs and more.

R2-KT and The Child challenge coin
There’s a new R2-KT challenge coin on the way. This one uses a redesign of a patch. The coin displays R@-KT on onside and the child on the other. Sales of the coin benefit the United Way Covid-19 World Relief Fund.
The patch was designed to show separation by how we positioned the characters, but the coin makes it even more clear: R2-KT on one side, the Child (aka Baby Yoda) on the other. Separated, but never far apart.
Order Information
* Coins are 1.5″ in diameter with a silver metallic finish and made to the same standards as all our challenge coins.
* Each coin is $7 (or $5 each for orders of five or more).
* Shipping is just $4 for every five coins ordered in the U.S.
* International shipping is $8 for up to five coins. For orders of more than five coins, please email us how many coins you want and we can get you a quote on cost of shipping.

Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary!
This weekend is the 40th anniversary of the release of The Empire Strikes Back! Boba Fett made his big screen debut in Empire so here are a few pic of the bounty hunter. He was in the animated section of the Star Wars special before Empire but we don’t talk about that.
UPDATE: I removed a picture from this post. It was the promo image of the Hallamark LEGO Boba Fett Ornament. I didn’t take that one and didn’t catch it till afterI made the post.

New series Brick Sketches
LEGO has annoucned a new series LEGO Sketches, These were designed by LEGO artist Chris McVeigh. He’s been making these on his site for years. But now are an official set that you can get this summer.
These first sets are BB-8, First Order Stormtrooper, Batman and Joker. I’ll get BB-8 and Batman.
I like how how designed batman grin.
I’ve admired these since I saw the on Chris’ site. They remind me of the old Toys R US build of Captain America set my son made. I toyed around with building my own character portraits like this but never got far. I bought some plates for it and that;s about as far as I got. The Brick Sketches have a better look that this old kit. The blocky look is replaced by a more in depth look. I can’t wait for these.

8 years
8 years ago tonight, I started this blog. I had planned to make some new images for the occasions but a head cold put a stop to that. Here are a couple of the earliest photos I posted.
Yoda gets a 1up.

Yoda Speak Generator
Here is a cool Star wars page. The Yodaspeak page takes your text and translates it to the speech pattern of the Jedi Master himself.
Sorry it’s been a while since I posted. There is a new LEGO Minfig pic queued up for early Friday morning. I am editing another image for later as well.
Hallmark Star Wars Ornaments Revealed.
Hallmark has revealed their 2014 Christmas ornament selections. Once again there are some cool Star Wars ones. One is a Yoda peakbuster ornament. This motion-activated ornament will catch peekers and snack seekers. Hear Yoda dish out wise warnings to stay away whenever he senses that peekers have come near. It’s 19.95 and will be available in October.
Hear it at Hallmark.com
The past three years the have released a LEGO Star Wars ornament. The 2014 character is Boba Fett. I know I’ll be picking him up in July. Boba Fett retails for $14.95
Hallmark begins selling some of their ornaments in July. The following should be in store early in the month.
Rise of Lord Vader $19.95 Listen Darth Vader one of my favorite characters but they pick his worse dialogue from the entire saga for the sound chip. If it was just an ornament without sound I might get it. I just don’t think I’ll pay $19.95 for one I don’t want to listen to.
Cantina Band $34.95 Listen Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes star in this ornament. It’s cool and plays the cantina theme music. But expensive.
Sand Crawler $29.95 Listen and a Scout Trooper for $17.95
Godzilla $17.95 Listen And Godzilla I might get this one.
Alien $17.95 October
If you join Hallmarks rewards program they’ll send you e-mail notices of when the new ornaments are released plus coupons a few times a season. Many of these will be released on July 12-13.
