Have a look at this article: http://www.traveleverywhere.net/travel/bed-and-breakfast-vs-cheap-hotels/
What an objective and well-informed piece of writing. Ahem.
[Note: I moved this from articles into the general forum as it is not really an article that has been submitted here...and it is not really err...a good article. -Swirt]
Gee, poor Julian. He sounds like the kind of guest who isn't happy anywhere. Does he realize that hotels CHARGE big bucks (pounds, Euros) for any gizmos they let you use? And his idea of vacation is watching TV? Julian, it rains in the UK, you ought to be used to that by now. If not, go to Spain for your hols.

Good grief...this guy doesn't have a clue about B & B's...well at least US ones. Maybe that is the case in Europe but I sure hope not.

Wow, Julian had a really bad experience at a b&b, didn't he? Article is interesting in that it highlights the difference between b&b's in Europe versus the US, especially in terms of cost.
Rupert said:
I think there are plenty of B&Bs in Europe that would be just as offended by the article (although I agree that generally the standards are lower than in the US). I posted the article on Twitter as well and there are plenty of people going mad about it!
Eleanor Brown said:
If you know a way of replying to Julian, i think he needs to have an education.
Oh no, I don't mean the standards, just the perception that a b&b will be less expensive than a hotel/motel. This has changed dramatically in Europe recently, but I think especially in some smaller areas you can still find smaller properties that will be less expensive than a hotel might be. In the US I would say the perception is that b&b's are always more expensive.
Innkeeper To Go
I don't think Julian gets out very much myself. Sounds like an armchair traveler full of fancy but not big on facts.
And, of course, when the facts couldn't possibly back up his perception, why would he include them?
Certainly doesn't lend a lot of credence to the site itself. IMHO.

I don't think he's traveled in years judging by that article. It sounds more like he is writing about pensions or youth hostels, not B&Bs. That would have been true 20 years or more ago.
When I was growing up even the pensions were lovely to stay at. No, they didn't have TV but back then the hotels didn't etiher.
That article does not pertain to most of the Western World, in my experience.

I'm not sure this article pertains to the Real World.

Unfortunately the Twitter people are most likely non B&B goers and after reading this article it will be really hard to get them to try a B&B. You put a magnifying glass on something that most of us (and others) would never have found/seen - imho!
what a nothing of an article. in my very LOUD opinion
Copperhead
What a poorly written article. This can not be a very widely read website. And this writer most likely has not traveled very far - where ever he is from.
wendydk
He has written several critical articles for that same and similar sites...on Budget hotels, on B&b's, on all-inclusive resorts. He is one of those guys that sits at home, churning out content for a bunch of different worthless websites, getting paid by the word to fill web pages with worthless content. Most people who do this for a living, or for supplemental income have done nothing and been nowhere, and it shows in what they write.
suellen222 said:
Actually most of the people who picked up on it on Twitter were B&B owners who were even more outraged than yourselves! Some of them wrote comments too but none of them seem to have been approved yet...!
This is more like it!

Ah yes, that is much better! And what a great range of properties they highlighted in the article.
I wish I was going to the UK instead of Provence now! Very nice! Know of any good B&B's in Provence or close by?
Just goes to show the other author has not stayed in a B&B since 1960....how does he get published????

Tinsukia killings may have changed village forever
Harsh's Notes
Tinsukia killings may have changed…
If we look at the country's condition over the last four years, we'll be able to understand if it's worth living in, he says.
"In the past few days, Naseeruddin Shah has been attacked multiple times for a statement he had given in this series. He has been accused of tarnishing India's image," Professor Apoorvanand started off saying as he spoke to Karwan-e-Mohabbat — a civil society initiative for peace and justice led by of activists, writers and journalists — as part of an interview series, "Tathya".
Apoorvanand explained that what Shah really said got "lost somewhere". In his interview with Karwan-e-Mohabbat, Shah had said that there is complete impunity for those who take law into their own hands. "In many areas, we are witnessing that the death of a cow has more significance than that of a police officer," the actor said.
The Delhi University professor underlined that what Shah's remarks hold significance in the current times. "Whatever is happening is right in front of us. Should we not be concerned that the case involving the murder of inspector in Bulandshahr violence, instead of getting solved is getting more complicated? Should we not be concerned that the senior police officer accused in Ishrat Jahan case was recently promoted by the Gujarat government," Apoorvanand said. "Naseeruddin Shah said that all of this is happening in the name of religion," he added.
In an attempt to highlight religious intolerance prevalent in the country, Shah had said, "I feel anxious for my children because tomorrow if a mob surrounds them and asks, 'Are you a Hindu or Muslim?' Then they will have no answer."

Further, the Hindi professor asserted that there are still many people whose values don't come from religion but somewhere else. "What is right or wrong, good or bad, these values are not just sourced from religion but somewhere else. All the values are of equality, values of brotherhood, of love, and we didn't need religion for this," he said, in his defence of the Wednesday actor.
Slamming Prime Minister Narendra Modi for attacking Shah, Apoorvanand called his comment "sneering". "People started attacking Naseeruddin over this issue. One of the sneering attacks was of the prime minister And he said that when the elections are fast approaching, some people strategically make such remarks," he said.
Shah had said that he was not scared, but angry at the current situation. "These matters don't scare me. They make me angry. And I want that every right thinking person should feel angry, not scared. This is our home. Who dares to evict us from here?" the actor said. Similarly, veteran filmmaker Buddhadeb Dasgupta in his interview with The Telegraph also suggested that India is not worth living in anymore. Apoorvanand drew attention to Dasgupta's comments as well, he said, "So today while thinking about Naseeruddin Shah's statement, we also need to look at another statement given by Buddhadeb Dasgupta." "He had said that after the attacks on Naseeruddin, it seems like the country is not worth living anymore. If we look back at our country's condition over the past four years, we will able to understand whether it is worth living in the present conditions?" Apoorvanand asked.

Worst of all, self-righteous "unifiers" uninterested in unity continue to fan the flames of division. Is it too difficult to set aside our differences, to lower the temperature, and to demand better from elected officials? It shouldn't be. For instance, healing will take a backseat should the incoming Biden administration and Democrat-controlled Congress pursue aggressive gun control policies. Why? Democrats, Republicans, and independents don't want to lose their Second Amendment rights. In the spirit of healing and...

The Worst Argument Ever
Townhall.com ^ | January 4, 2020 | Rob Jenkins
As a professional rhetorician and teacher of rhetoric—the art of persuasion—for over 35 years, I have seen a lot of bad arguments. And not all of them have come from my college students. Not by a long shot. But in all that time, the worst argument I have ever heard, by far, is this one: "If it only saves one life…." It's a line big-government types love to trot out whenever they want good-hearted, well-meaning people to accept some sketchy, illogical, oppressive measure because, you know, it just might save one person's life. An example is socialized medicine, which would...

Gun-buying activity shattered records in the U.S. this year, with the Federal Bureau of Investigation recording both the highest number of background checks in its history and the highest increase of checks year-over-year in over two decades. Last month was the busiest November on record for FBI background checks in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, according to the Bureau's month-by-month data. Background checks were up 40% from the prior November, with over 3.6 million checks performed throughout the month. That number would be remarkable during any other year.

Will the 2nd Amendment Survive Biden and His Gun Control Policies?

https://genzconservative.com/how-will-the-2nd-amendment-survive/ ^
oe Biden's official website lays out a sleuth of anti-gun policies they would like to push through. The most popular of these proposals is the push to ban assault rifles. Of course, they cannot actually want to ban assault rifles seeing as they are already banned. Automatic rifles were banned in the 80s during the Reagan administration. When they say assault rifles, they mean semi-automatic rifles. They also want a ban on high-capacity magazines. To gun owners, a high-capacity magazine might mean 45+ rounds in a magazine. 30 rounds are standard on many magazines, like those of the AR-15 and...

They are the strongest opponents of defunding the police, but now, conservatives are carving out an exception — the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. Long considered anti-gun, the agency has provoked alarm with Second Amendment advocates due to the agency's recent targeting of gunmakers, including a raid this month on a producer of so-called "ghost guns" and this week's targeting of AR-15-style pistols. With President-elect Joe Biden poised to unleash new gun control measures, fears are heightened that ATF will be the tip of the spear.

If we have a Joe Biden administration in the White House on Jan. 20, we will have the most overtly anti-gun president in American history. Biden's plan lists effectively every gun control measure ever proposed: banning "assault weapons," banning "high-capacity" magazines, limiting the number of guns an American can purchase, holding manufacturers liable for the criminal misuse of their products, and many, many more. Out of the myriad options a Biden administration will have to infringe on our constitutional protections, which will they choose first?

If ATF Comes A Knocking, Only Surrender Your 80% Frame or Receiver Under Protest!

As many in the Firearms Community are aware, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) raided Polymer80, Inc last week and since then, there is at least one report of a customer being visited by ATF and forced to surrender their "P80." Given what appears to be ATF's active enforcement of its interpretive jiggery-pokery, ever changing interpretations of the Gun Control Act and implementing regulations, it is important that any individual confronted by ATF regarding this newly minted interpretation, advise the agent that he/she is surrendering the items under protest, that you do not consent to the forfeiture...

Americans know that they should resist delusional, prohibitionist tyrants. The American Revolution started when the British tried to seize Continental muskets and gunpowder. Jefferson reminded us that the "tree of liberty" occasionally has to be "watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Patrick Henry demanded liberty or death. Samuel Adams refused to consent to the "tranquility of servitude" over the "animating contest of freedom." Real Americans remember those patriots and are determined to uphold their legacies. We won't surrender our weapons to confiscatory, leftist tyrants. That's why gun confiscation is impossible. People like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris want...

Democrat Senate candidate Jon Ossoff's plan to ban semiautomatic rifles is reminiscent of Robert "Beto" O'Rourke's not-so-distant pledge to take away Americans' AR-15s. It was during the 2019 Democrat presidential primary when O'Rourke said, "Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47." O'Rourke bobbed and weaved for weeks when questioned about the confiscatory pledge. Then, in typical Democrat fashion, tried to paint police enforcement of a ban on AR-15 ownership as something other than confiscation. On October 16, 2019, he told MSBNC's Morning Joe that police would go to homes to "recover" the rifles from the non-compliant once...

Austin, TX – Texas lawmakers are considering a bill that would require homeowners to "retreat" before using deadly force in certain situations. Under Texas' "castle doctrine," citizens have the right to use deadly force to defend their "land or tangible, movable property," KPRC reported. House Bill 196, filed by Rep. Terry Meza (D-Irving) earlier this month, would require homeowners to be "unable to safely retreat" before they could legally use deadly force against a perpetrator. Property owners would also no longer be able to use deadly force to stop aggravated robbery or robbery crimes under the bill, according to KPRC....

Joe Biden plans to move quickly against guns, adding the issue to his list of first executive orders, according to his top policy aide. Stef Feldman, the national policy director of Biden's presidential campaign, included the Democrat's gun plan in a list of initial executive actions set to be unleashed after Inauguration Day. Speaking in a Zoom briefing hosted by Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service, she said that Biden is planning to "make big, bold changes through executive action, not just on policing and climate like we talked about previously, but in healthcare and education on gun...
Democrat Jon Ossoff Endorsed by Gabby Giffords' Gun Control Group
Breitbart News Service ^ | Nov 25, 2020 | AWR Hawkins
Democrat Senate candidate Jon Ossoff (GA) is endorsed by Giffords, the Gabby Giffords-founded gun control group focused on firearm laws and legislation. Ossoff is headed toward a January 5, 2021, runoff election against incumbent Sen. David Perdue (R-GA). And whereas Perdue is pro-Second Amendment, anti-gun control, Ossoff wants to ban the sales of semiautomatic rifles and magazines Democrats deem "high capacity." Moreover, he wants to institute red flag laws, universal background checks for gun purchases, place more restrictions on gun shows, and license that semiautomatic rifles and handguns that are already privately owned. The NRA endorsed Perdue, seeing him as...
Why is the 2nd Amendment Important?

Why is the 2nd Amendment important? Because the 2nd Amendment is the one that guarantees all of the others. Sure, we need to defend free speech because without it we can't express ideas (good or bad) openly or criticize the government. But can it back itself up on its own? No, if we had only the 1st Amendment but not the 2nd, we could lose our right to free speech at any moment. The government could simply take it away. Just look at what is happening in Hong Kong; when its citizens tried to exercise their human right to free...

Does everyone realize that IF biden is inaugurated there will NEVER be another Republican President. If they stole one presidential election and got away with it then who would ever give up the most powerful seat in the world. Granted it wont be in 4 years but you get the idea. If biden is inaugurated America will have officially "jumped the shark" and a sharp decline will infact ensue. There will be no way to legally get back the reins of power. Someone once said you have to shoot your way out of socialism. Buy guns and ammo because we're...

In the same way that vaccine makers are exempted from legal liability if someone who gets the vaccine contracts the disease it was that, the liberals trying to do the same thing to gun manufacturer. The purpose behind limiting liability for vaccine makers is because a certain amount of people take a vaccine it will either not work or they will catch the disease the vaccine was made to prevent. There is no 100% prevention for vaccines, but they're pretty darn close. If vaccine makers were liable to lawsuits, the companies that make vaccines would move overseas. Why allow themselves...

Originally Reviewed – 5/9/2012
Tim Burton's Batman is remembered for many things. Some reference it as the start of the "adult comic" genre, tossing aside square chinned protagonists in favor of darker, more personal superheroes. Others mark it as one of the best combinations of art house vision and Hollywood bombast in recent history. Me? I remember it as my first PG-13 film.
1989 was the year of the Bat. Buoyed by a massive advertising campaign and the expectations of a legion of comic book fans, you couldn't walk down the street without seeing the iconic bat symbol. Sadly for me, the film was rated PG-13, dashing any hopes of my MPAA strict family allowing me to see it. It took two years before my dad came home with a VHS copy of the movie, waited for my mom to go to bed and invited me to watch it with him. My eleven year old mind was blown away. Everything seemed bigger than life in Tim Burton's Gotham. The experience was overwhelming. From the maniacal cackle of The Joker, to the looming facades of Gotham to the Caped Crusader himself, Tim Burton's adult interpretation of the comic book hero was nothing short of spectacular.
Now, nearly 25 years later, the only thing big about Batman '89 is Vicky Vale's hairstyle. Viewed with modern eyes and the images of Christopher Nolan's vision fresh in mind, the original movie is still a fine time but lacks the depth and character development of the new series. The story is a familiar one. After a heist at Axis Chemicals gets thwarted by Batman (Michael Keaton), Gotham's most ruthless gangster falls into a vat of acid and becomes The Joker (Jack Nicholson). The evil clown then concocts a sinister plan to cause chaos, prompting Batman to run to the defense of the good people of Gotham. Along the way, Bruce Wayne gets involved with photographer Vicki Vale (Kim Basinger), broods in the Batcave and fights the many baddies of the beleaguered city.
On the positive side, Tim Burton's design of Gotham is my favorite of all the iterations. The visionary director's take on the city is a mishmash of baroque, art deco and gothic design elements, perfectly reflecting a metropolis in turmoil. Everything in the film, from Keaton's Batsuit to the classic Batmobile speaks to the director's love of the dark and picturesque. The choice of Michael Keaton as the lead hero was also a brilliant one. By far my favorite Batman, Keaton excels at playing both sides of the tortured hero. Bumbling as Bruce, terrifying as The Bat, Keaton creates a duality with the role that hasn't been bested by any who have followed. A tough role to master for someone who, up until then, had been known for light comedy.
The rest of the cast is also well selected, starting with Jack Nicholson's spot on portrayal of The Joker. While I'm not going to get into the Ledger versus Jack debate, I will say Ledger had a heck of a lot more to work with. Nicholson's Joker tosses aside decent development for pure fun, creating a manic yet enjoyable performance. The problems aren't with Jack, as the simply penned story does little to develop the villain. This is a "take the part and run with it" type of performance and for the film they were making, it works just fine.
But not all is rosy in the wet streets of Gotham. The movie languishes under a mediocre script, one that suffered from the Writer's Strike of 1988. Edits made during filming never gelled with the finished product, creating a movie that works but does so unevenly. Seriously, would Alfred really let Vicki Vale into the Batcave? Really? The relationship between Wayne and Vale never makes sense or generates any tension, there are some head scratching music cues and the film bloats towards the final thirty minutes. It's a bit of a mess, but an enjoyable mess all the same.
Batman was described by David Handelman of the New York Observer as being "less movie than corporate behemoth." While I don't fully agree, there's a grain of truth in that statement. Up until that point, Bob Kane's original vision of a tortured avenger had been muddled by decades of campy treatment. A millionaire fighting crime in a bat costume. Hilarious! Fans of the comic had become alienated, fans of the TV show grew up and nobody cared about the adventures of Bruce Wayne. Supported by the biggest marketing campaign in the history of Hollywood, Batman was a necessary beast, a required purging of the artistic damage caused by twenty years of neglect. Batman didn't just resurrect a comic book character; it revitalized the relevance of an art form. No longer relegated to the bedrooms of geeks and fanboys, comic book characters could now be taken seriously as allegories for our basic humanity. Tim Burton's vision injected new life into a genre that would dominate filmgoing until the present day. Batman is nowhere near a perfect film, but it's a game changer, and that, even twenty years later, is more than enough.

How Marvel's Star Wars: The High Republic Comic Will Show New Sides of the Jedi
A new age begins—but will Keeve Trennis understand her place in it?
Image: Phil Noto/Marvel Comics
Lucasfilm's bold new transmedia initiative, Star Wars: The High Republic, promises to give us a look back into the galaxy, far, far away at the peak of the Jedi Order's luminescence. Champions of an expansionist Republic, masters of the Force, they are a vision for the galaxy. But how heavy does that image hang on its youngest members in a time of crisis?
Early next year, The High Republic will kick off across new books—adult novels and adventures aimed at younger readers—and comics. For Marvel specifically, it means the launch of a brand new Star Wars ongoing, joining its main title, Darth Vader, and Doctor Aphra as the publisher's window into the Star Wars universe. Penned by Cavan Scott and featuring art by Ario Anindito and Mark Morales, the series, simply titled Star Wars: The High Republic, will frame the wider narrative's reckoning over the disaster surrounding the mid-lightspeed destruction of the transport ship Legacy Run and the relationship between two unconventional Jedi aboard the Republic fringe outpost called Starlight Beacon: Keeve Trennis and her master, Sskeer.
The Inciting Incident of Star Wars' High Republic Is a Horrifying Technological Disaster
New war, same as the old war. We're so used to Star Wars' cyclical saga at this point, we were just
But they are not master and apprentice for long. Sskeer, a Trandoshan—not a common sight in what we've come to expect from Star Wars' idea of a Jedi—is on the precipice of leaving Keeve behind. She'll undergo trials to ascend from being a padawan and stand alone for the first time in her life in the Order as a Jedi Knight and do it all as one of the youngest knights in the Order, at an unprecedented moment of galactic crisis.
"We've had stories of Jedi who were confident. We've had stories of Jedi who search, who want to know more, who want to be better," Cavan Scott, the comics writer and Star Wars author who will write the ongoing story, recently told io9 over a video call. "I want to tell the story of a Jedi who is good, but doesn't know how good she is—and doesn't know why she's been chosen for this and struggles with that question and what that would mean to her character. How would she respond to people? She has a relationship with Sskeer she's had for years, as his apprentice. And he's there. But now he's not there. She's equal to him. And perhaps he's going off with other people, and she's going off on her own. That was fascinating."
It was an idea that had driven Scott since the first time he became involved in what was referred to in hushed tones as "Project Luminous"—the coming together of luminaries from across the Disney era of Star Wars' publishing initiatives to forge a brand new chapter of the franchise, in a timeline we've never seen before. Standing in Skywalker ranch as his fellow authors discussed what Star Wars meant to them and what they would do with the blank canvas of this new era, the author found himself both in awe and feeling out of his depth: much like the protagonist of his new Marvel comic.
"Something I suffer with sometimes is imposter syndrome, and it's something I was struggling with that week [at Skywalker Ranch]," Scott told us. "And the more we talked about what the Jedi could be— and it was the second week we'd [been] out there, that we really established what the era would be—the more I kept thinking back to that moment where it was scary enough, for me, to be in this situation, to think, 'Have I got a place to be a this table? Do I deserve a place at this table? Have I got a story to tell?'"
Scott and the rest of his team do, in fact. As does Keeve Trennis, Jedi Knight. Find out more about the writer's first steps in The High Republic, fleshing out the lives of Keeve and Sskeer, and what readers can expect out of this next phase of Star Wars storytelling in our full interview below: as well as an exclusive look inside some of the unfinished interior pages of Star Wars: The High Republic #1!
A New Mandalorian Spoiler May Have Galactic Implications
It's just two weeks into the second season of The Mandalorian and we still have no idea exactly…
James Whitbrook, io9: It feels like a lifetime ago when this was the mysterious "Project Luminous" — what was it like, back when this project was coming together, not just to work on this shared project but essentially carving out an entire new chapter of Star Wars?
Cavan Scott: Very exciting. So, I think Mike [Siglain, Lucasfilm Publishing creative director] and I's first talks at San Diego Comic-Con—back when we could have a San Diego Comic-Con—was a few years ago now, he asked me if I'd like to come on board. I thought about it for at least a second before saying yes. But then he threw into the mix I wouldn't know who the other people were— because he was in the process of asking them, as well. So, I agreed to do it. We knew there was going to be a trip to [Skywalker] ranch which, obviously, was exciting in itself. But yeah—the five of us didn't know who the others were, at first. And so there was this day when someone sent me an email and the names were there—there was a sense of, like, 'oh, thank heavens— I can work with them'—because you don't know, really how you work with someone, the first time.
But the good thing that happened in Star Wars, from a writing point of view, was From a Certain Point of View, the writing anthology that came out for the 40th anniversary [of A New Hope]. That book, I think, brought us all together—mainly because the event we did at New York Comic Con when it launched, we signed what seemed like hundreds of copies. We set up in this tiny room and passed from one to another, and we did this massive panel where there were fifteen of us there on the panel—because it was a joint project, there were so many people. The writing community of Star Wars fiction became a lot closer because of that book. And it was something we were doing together, and it was exciting.
So yes, I've known all the other guys on the team but have never worked with them—but we all knew each other. I think we all felt the same. And then the build-up started, we didn't really know what was waiting for us when we did that first trip to the ranch—and spent those days discussing what we love about Star Wars. And that's where it all started. 'What do we love about Star Wars?' What do we love about storytelling? We watched Star Wars: A New Hope, the new 4K cut, in the theater on the ranch, which was just incredible. With the statues from [Palpatine's] office, in front of us! Everything about it is surreal. Daniel [José Older, writer on IDW's High Republic Adventures comic] and I spent the entire week walking around the ranch just going, "What?!." That feeling hasn't gone away.
We've been back there since, working with Rob [Simpson, Lucasfilm Publishing senior editor], and Mike, and the entire story group team, and the editors, everyone involved. But we still had those moments—and we still talk regularly, the five of us, about those moments—walking through the ranch the first time and going, "This is insane!." It has to continue. It has to feel exciting. It has to feel fresh, for us to get that freshness across. It's all based on our love for the franchise. So, the wait to let people know what Project Luminous was was insane, and infuriating, and necessary. Then we had a period of time where we thought it was going to be out, but, because of things that have been going on in the world, it's been a bit delayed. But, you know, that's only just made it more exciting for us. Now we're very excited. We're within a couple of months of people holding it.

io9: You love the hell out of Star Wars. You have written a lot of Star Wars at this point. With the Marvel book, you're coming to what I think is a slightly different audience—did it feel different to you?
Scott: I think it's all about seeing Star Wars through a different lens. A Star Wars story is a Star Wars story. There are elements there no matter what audience you're writing for. You're always going to include things. Now, obviously, when you're writing for an all-age audience—not a kid's audience, anyone can pick it up from an adult to a child—and can hopefully read them together. That was the reason behind Star Wars Adventures, at the beginning. So, I don't approach the stories in any different way from a creation point of view—obviously, when you're telling them, it's going through a different lens. You have to be responsible when you're writing for an all-age audience, you have to be careful about what you put into it.
But there's the old adage: sometimes the 12-year-old likes it to feel realer or scarier, and for me, personally, the 12-year-old always likes it when it's scary. And so, you're able to grant things more depth, more space as well. You can delve more into the dimensions of the characters and you can be a little more... not too explicit because it's still Star Wars—the action has to feel like it's part of the Star Wars universe as a whole—but you can explore the reality of what being in space, and in the Republic at that time, really is. For me, personally, writing for Marvel is almost bringing the circle back to the beginning, because I started my Star Wars fandom not with the film, but the Marvel UK weekly. The first issue, I still have, of Star Wars Weekly—it's been comics first, forever. Marvel comics, especially! I'm thrilled to be writing the new Marvel comic for this new era. It's like coming home.

io9: High Republic is telling a wider story now that there's this hyperspace accident that rallies the Jedi together. But you're telling the story of two very specific members of the order that we briefly met and want to talk about in a bit, because they're both very interesting characters. When you're telling these big, interconnected shared universe stories, when you're plotting the arcs, how often are you thinking "Oh, this is tying to this book" or, "Now someone's telling this story with the Jedi or character"—how much of that is sitting in your mind constantly as you're fleshing out the characters?
Scott: It's there all the time. The joy of this is, we have the five of us working on it, largely—we meet once a week, virtually. We're talking every day, as I said, so, we're constantly throwing things back and forth. We're reading each other's stuff, and each of those characters we focus on can come in and out of the different books and comics. It's definitely always there. The way I work anyway, and the way I write Star Wars, I like those little connections to everything else. I like the Easter Eggs, as long as they're not going to trip up any reader. That's the one thing we're all trying to be very careful about: even though every part of the initiative tells a different part of the larger story, you should be able to tell what's going on. Then, if you're reading everything, a great Easter Egg is something that will reward people, and not take away from someone. So, if you're reading something and you see something and go "Oh, hang on, that was in Claudia [Gray]'s book" or, "That was in IDW!" or "That was in Light of the Jedi," then you get the thrill of being part of the story. If you don't know that, it feels like it's part of the natural narrative—and then hopefully, you'll find out, "Hang on, there's more to go and discover." So, it's always there. We do want it to feel like a joined-up universe.
Keeve and Sskeer [the main characters in Marvel's series] are stationed on Starlight Beacon, which is the heart of Star Wars: The High Republic. This massive space station that's been launched in the dark zones, an area of space with not a lot of planets or anything. It's a beacon for travelers pushing out to the frontier, there's a Jedi temple onboard the station. The two Jedi we focus on—it's Keeve's story, and Sskeer's her master—they're part of a team, as well. That's what's been exciting for me. We've been very used to seeing masters and apprentices, but here, we see a master/apprentice right at the point where the apprentice becomes a Knight. You see them having to pull away and become independent. They become independent in this huge space station right away where there are all these other Jedi who suddenly come in, and we're introduced to more Jedi over the first issues. They then have to figure out how to work as a team, as a unit—just like the five of us who are writing The High Republic! That's the exciting thing, you've got all these Jedi in varied stages of their careers—masters, new Jedi, people who have found themselves in a position they didn't know they were going to take—and they're out of their comfort zone, right out on the edge of the Republic, and they have to be a beacon. That's something they take very seriously, it weighs heavy on them: They are the light for this space. It's been something that has a bearing on just about every other story, and you will see these characters coming in and out of the other stories, as well.
One thing I'm doing we've yet to announce more details about is that I'm writing the second High Republic Del Rey novel, so I've been able to work out at which points that novel fits into what we're doing with the comics. Again, it's not a case where every five minutes they're going to be popping up and bleed into each other's stories, but you know, they're in the same area, they're in the same part of space. You know that things are happening at the same time and if you pay attention, there are deeper secrets to be found—clues to the future, as well.
But 200 years is a long time, a lot of things can happen in those 200 years. We know the Jedi of the prequel era so well, so we know where they end up—but the question has always been in our mind, "Where did they come from? Where are they now? How did they get there?"
io9: You've touched a bit on Keeve and Sskeer's relationship a bit, but I wanted to ask about Keeve—when you and the team were crafting this version of the Jedi Order, why were you interested in focusing on Keeve? She's in this interesting moment we've seen in the preview pages, on the brink of this tumultuous point in a Jedi's life...
Scott: I honestly think that, for me, it's a very personal thing. It all went back to that first week at Skywalker Ranch. I was walking up to the building we were having our first meeting in, I was feeling comfortable. Yet, there was also part of me going "Why am I here," You know? There was part of me going, "I'm a long way from home..." Literally, I'm from Bristol, you couldn't get much different from Bristol from Skywalker Ranch, California! There was a real sense of...something I suffer with sometimes is imposter syndrome, and it's something I was struggling with that week. And the more we talked about what the Jedi could be—and it was the second week we'd [been] out there, that we really established what the era would be—the more I kept thinking back to that moment where it was scary enough, for me, to be in this situation, to think, "Have I got a place to be at this table? Do I deserve a place at this table? Have I got a story to tell?"
What would it be like to be a Jedi who was literally, straight minutes away after being knighted, thrown into this situation? Who suddenly finds herself the focal point for the entire galaxy—all the eyes are literally on her? Everyone's expecting them to do well, just because she's there. Just because she's with these people. She's been knighted, so they've got faith in her. If she wasn't good, she would not be a Jedi Knight.
That kept coming back to me and fascinating me because we've had stories of Jedi who were confident. We've had stories of Jedi who search, who want to know more, who want to be better. I want to tell the story of a Jedi who is good, but doesn't know how good she is—and doesn't know why she's been chosen for this and struggles with that question and what that would mean to her character. How would she respond to people? She has a relationship with Sskeer she's had for years, as his apprentice. And he's there. But now he's not there. She's equal to him. And perhaps he's going off with other people, and she's going off on her own. That was fascinating.
I pitched right from the beginning. That came from my initial pitch for the entire initiative. [Keeve] was quite different, in those days... she's been with me all the way through this. As soon as we were talking about what jobs we were going to do, I think it's a good story you can do in comics that readers identify with. It just opens up so many forms of drama, for both of them. Because it's not just Keeve who struggles with life, we've never really thought about what it'd be like for a Master to send out their Padawan and be a Knight in their own right. So there's lots to deal with.
io9: I wanted to talk about Sskeer—he's a big Trandoshan with one arm, and I love him to bits already. But like you said, not only does he have this very interesting relationship with Keeve, we also don't see Trandoshan characters depicted like this. It's a race that is usually coded in Star Wars as bounty hunters, as warriors—not usually seen in a particularly bright light—whereas now we've got a Jedi master. What was it like writing a character like that?
Scott: The thing with Sskeer is that, he... I struggle with alien races that have one characteristic. Monocultures, I struggle with, because we don't have that, as a species. It was something I was keen to explore. I have to totally put down the creation of the idea to Phil Noto, comic artist extraordinaire, who did this concept art while we were coming up with these ideas—and there was a Trandoshan in the middle with a lightsaber. I got very obsessed, as Mike and the rest will tell you, with that picture, trying to work out who each person in the line was—Sskeer really stood out to me. For exactly those reasons, he's a Trandoshan, he comes from a very brutal background. What would that be like for a Jedi? He must have worked hard to get over that in his training. What would his relationship be with a young person who just came in? We're going to see Keeve and Sskeer younger [at points during the comic]. How would he go against his nature, striving to be something else, to be the best? So yeah, Phil gave me the start for that and I ran with it.
It was quite late in the day that Sskeer became [Keeve's] master. In earlier iterations, he was a Jedi on the station, and we didn't really see her master. But I wasn't happy with the way she was—I didn't feel like she had a past we could really understand—so when the inspiration came to make Sskeer her master, that's where [Keeve] really crystalized. I think people are going to love that relationship. From the few pages people have seen online, people seem to be. It's not always going to be easy for them—I can't really say more than that... but some troubled times lie ahead.

io9: You mentioned Phil there—what was it like coming into a project with such a large group of collaborators, only to introduce more as you met Ario and Mark? Did you feel like you were shepherding these people into a universe you've had in your head for a while?
Scott: I can't really compare it to anything else, the scope of this has just been huge. The people Lucasfilm have collected to work on it, beyond the five of us, beyond the artists of the comics, or any of the creative teams on the writing side... we had a day when we were in L.A. for the launch, earlier this year—feels like a long time ago!—and we went into the [Lucasfilm] art department, and there were so many walls of The High Republic art. These characters we'd been discussing, there was concept art. A lot of it we've been sharing, but to have Disney and Lucasfilm's art department working on this has been amazing. I've never worked on a feature film, I can only imagine what it's like to have a concept artist working [on your project]. You throw ideas out and somebody realizes, which I'm used to with comics, you give an idea and the artist 99% of the time makes it better. With this, there were so many ideas coming from these pieces of art. One of the main antagonists we've got in the comic came from a piece of art from Ian [McCaig, longtime Star Wars concept artist]. It wasn't anything he designed but he put together this character and we went, "Oooh, that's interesting. What's their story?" So it's been incredible to have such a vast amount of talent going into this.
I don't think people realize just how many people have been working on The High Republic. And hats off to everyone else, the five of us are out there, but there are so many people behind-the-scenes on this project. So many people. The work they've been doing is so stellar, it's been amazing, and it's been more creative because of that. The possibilities for stories wouldn't have been there without that art [team]. It's been incredible.
On the side of the comic, Keeve had been pretty much designed by the time Ario came aboard, as had Sskeer and a few other characters—but there was still a long way to go with the way Starlight Beacon looked or different aspects of the High Republic. We had to extrapolate what things were looking like from the concept art. Ario as well is a massive, huge Star Wars fan—when he came on board, he's in Indonesia, we had a two-hour chat on Skype where we just geeked out. We talked for the first hour about what we loved about Star Wars and then realized we had to do some work! It was great. I was able to give him a tour of the High Republic, how the galaxy looks, who's involved. He just... the detail in the pages has been exquisite. There's plenty of what will become the High Republic is straight out of Ario's head now, which is great to see.
io9: We have familiar iconography—spaceships, lightsabers, the Jedi wearing robes—but you're helping coalesce this new period of Star Wars that has to feel like the Star Wars that has come before it. What's that process been like for you and the team?
Scott: It's something I take very seriously. There was probably, at the beginning, [a point where] we pushed things further and then brought them back because it has to be recognizably "The Republic." It has to be recognizably "The Jedi Order." But 200 years is a long time, a lot of things can happen in those 200 years. We know the Jedi of the prequel era so well, so we know where they end up—but the question has always been in our mind, "Where did they come from? Where are they now? How did they get there?"
We didn't want it to be exactly the same. We didn't want it to feel like the Order had stagnated—we know the Order was around for thousands of years. It must have changed over that time. Language must have changed within the Order, how the past must have changed it, and how they refer to things. The robes are something the concept artists are interested in [particularly], they're a little more elaborate than the monk-like robes we see in the prequels—there are story reasons for that. There are story reasons why they end up like they do in the prequel movies. The lightsabers are a bit more elaborate, too.
This is an era of peace where it is a renaissance—the galaxy is growing, prospering. The Jedi, without having to cope with wars and battles and protecting, have been able to flourish within it and lead it, be aligned with it. They show the way without being involved in all the politics as well, so the Jedi are in a very, very different place when this story starts. I'm not saying they're comfortable, but they're more powerful than they've ever been, probably more in harmony than they've ever been. It's a time where the Jedi are, perhaps, allowed a little more freedom than we've seen before, to be more unique, to be more individual in their understanding of the way the Force works and how the Jedi work. And then the fun begins! Because there's where we are, where we have to get to—how does it happen? But we have tried to... there's certain things we can and can't change. There's certain things we shouldn't change. But we can have a lot of fun on the way, as well. And I think that's the most important thing.
io9: What do you hope people take when they come to the comic? Because the comics that we've seen at Marvel so far have all been very specifically rooted in familiarity—We've got the Vader book, the main book following Han, Luke, and Leia, and little spin-offs of different periods...what do you hope people take from this adventure?
Scott: I hope they get a sense of how big it all is, how big the Republic is, at this time. How positive the Republic is at this time. How it is a time of hope and that hope will be tested. But it's Star Wars and in this present period of time, we need reminders that hope always remains. That's what I hope they see from the comic. The Jedi are heroes, and they're not the sort of superhero in the sense they have their own fears and doubts—they're all trying to be better, and the people they think they should be, just as all of us are. That's the sense I want people to take away from The High Republic as a whole and from the comic since there are real people at the heart of all of this.
You're seeing behind-the-scenes—you're not seeing the propaganda, the documentaries on the holo-net about how wonderful the Jedi are. You're seeing what the Jedi are actually like. They're good people, who are challenged, and they get through it. Hopefully, in those first few issues, there's just a sense that this is new, the sense that you don't know what's going to come because there is no role we're fitted into. There's no preexisting story we have to get to. We do, but that's two-hundred years away. So there's a lot of stories that can be told in that time—and there will be!
I hope people get the sense of the size of this and the ambition of this... and how true we're trying to remain to Star Wars, as well. The love we all have for Star Wars is in it because it's so much of who we are.
Star Wars: The High Republic formally begins with the release of The Light of the Jedi, by Charles Soule, and Justina Ireland's A Test of Courage, on January 5, 2021. Marvel's Star Wars: The High Republic #1 will release January 6.

Invalidity and revocation procedures before the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO)
A prior European Union (EU) trademark registration or a national trademark registration inside the EU may be the subject of an application for invalidity or revocation.
The owner of a European Trademark may have his rights canceled under Article 81 of the European Union Trademark Regulation or his trademark be ruled invalid under Article 82. The revocation action and the action for invalidity are the names of these two procedures.
An application for a declaration of revocation or invalidity shall only be allowed where the EU trademark has been registered in the EU trademark register.
There is no time limit for applying for revocation or invalidity. However, if the owner of an earlier trademark tolerates the use of a later European Union trademark for five (5) consecutive years, he is no longer entitled to apply for a declaration of invalidity based on relative grounds of invalidity.
Difference between an action for invalidity and revocation of the trademark.
As the name suggests, trademark revocation means that the owner of the trademark loses his rights on it, which is similar to the revocation procedures under French law. The revocation of a European trademark takes effect from the date of the application for revocation.
A trademark is targeted by an action for a declaration of invalidity when the proprietor of an earlier trademark requests that a trademark be declared invalid. If the application for a declaration of invalidity of a European trademark is successful, the invalidity action results in the cancelation of the contested trademark from the European Union trademark register, with a retroactive effect.
What are the grounds for revocation that can be invoked?
According to article 58 of the European Union Trademark Regulation (EUTMR), there are three grounds for revocation:
The European Union trademark has not been genuinely used for an uninterrupted period of 5 years;
The European Union trademark has become, through the activity or inactivity of its proprietor, a common designation;
The European Union trademark is likely to mislead the public as a result of its use by its owner or made with his consent
Regarding the common designation ground, it is worth noting that the applicant for the revocation of the European Union trademark must prove that the trademark targeted by this action has become the common use designation in the trade as a result of the activity or inactivity of the proprietor.
In other words, the applicant for revocation must prove that the mark has become the customary designation in the trade for the goods or services in question after the date of registration of the European trademark. However, arguing that the sign was the usual designation used in the trade of goods and services at the date of the application would only be relevant in the context of a revocation action.
What are the grounds for invalidity ?
The European Union recognizes two kinds of invalidity: absolute grounds for invalidity (article 59 EUTMR) and relative grounds for invalidity (article 60 EUTMR).
First, invalidity is considered absolute when it is based on grounds relating to the intrinsic value of the mark. By contrast, invalidity is said to be relative when prior rights are at issue (e.g. trademark, company name, patronymic name, domain names, etc.).
Unlike absolute grounds for invalidity, which can be invoked by everyone, relative grounds for invalidity can only be invoked by a prior right holder.
According to article 59 of the European Union Trademark Regulation, a European Union trademark may be declared invalid in two cases:
Where the European Union trademark has been registered despite the existence of an absolute ground for refusal, i.e. if it is devoid of the distinctive character or is descriptive;
Where the applicant was acting in bad faith when filing the trademark application. This is the case if the applicant was pursuing unlawful purposes when filing the trademark application.
Furthermore, according to article 60 of the European Union Trademark Regulation, a European trademark may be declared invalid on the same grounds as those on which an opposition may be based and where there is another earlier right in a Member State to prohibit the use of the trademark concerned.
To conclude, the invalidity and revocation procedures of a European Union trademark allow its owner to act against an interfering registered trademark. Both procedures are in place to allow a trademark owner to protect and ensure that his or her trademark rights are respected.
Dreyfus Law firm remains at your disposal for any questions concerning the invalidity and revocation procedures before the EUIPO. We can assist you throughout the procedure to ensure the defense of your rights.
Le cabinet d'avocats Dreyfus reste à votre disposition pour toute question concernant les procédures de nullité et de déchéance devant l'EUIPO. Nous pouvons vous assister tout au long de la procédure pour assurer la défense de vos droits.

Home NATIONAL UNITY GOVT. MARKS THREE YEARS
NATIONAL UNITY GOVT. MARKS THREE YEARS
Friday, August 17, 2018 - 01:09
Exactly three year ago, the people went to the polls to reaffirm the mandate given to the two major political forces in the country to work together. President Maithripala Sirisena who won the Presidential Election in January 2015 had already appointed UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe as Prime Minister.
The agreement between the two major political parties in the country following the 2015 August General Election is unparalleled in the country's 70 years of post-independence politics.
This Government did have a 100 day programme which managed to accomplish many promises made during the election period. They thus urged the people to give them a bigger mandate on August 17, 2015.
The public did reaffirm their faith in this Government of Unity and Consensus, also known as the Yahapalana (Good Governance) Government. In essence, the new Government had pledged to reverse the dictatorial course of the former Rajapaksa Government and grant freedom to State institutions whose freedom had come under attack, save Sri Lanka from international isolation and develop the economy which had reached abysmal depths.
The Government soon after assuming office embarked on a process of accountability, restorative justice and reconciliation and repairing its damaged image internationally. As a result of these endeavours, Sri Lanka has now become a respected member of the International Community.
The Government has also largely succeeded in restoring public confidence in State institutions including the judiciary and the police. The key to this change was the 19th Amendment, which was one of the key pledges of the new Government. It set Presidential term limits, pruned certain powers of the Executive Presidency and restored the independence of Government institutions. The Government delivered on its core promises. The Independent Commissions were established, Right to Information Act came into effect, established an Office of Missing Persons etc.
The proposed new Constitution will enable Sri Lankans to project one identity under one nation. Development has not been forgotten.
The Megapolis Initiative in the Western Province is a major project that will make an overall resurgence in the province. After a thorough review, the Port City project initiated by the former Government with Chinese funding has been totally transformed as a Financial City to attract more investors. The Government also announced a new economic policy that will augment the development process.
Recent initiatives such as the 'Gamperaliya' programme to develop villages and 'Enterprise Sri Lanka' loan scheme proposed in the 2018 budget to create entrepreneurs and boost domestic private investment has been much appreciated by the public.
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe speaking at a public function last week said the government has stabilised the economy and managed the country's debt burden systematically. Also the government has pledged to establish 2,500 Uda Gammana villages by 2020 to address the housing needs of the people and the results so far show it is well on course to achieve it.
Also investigations and legal proceedings into acts of fraud and corruption alleged to have been committed by prominent members of the former regime have been accelerated and already some have been punished for their misdeeds.
Three years is a relatively short time to make a proper assessment of a new government's record in office. Usually, the first year is devoted to consolidating power while the second and third year is the time when it gets down to business in earnest.
Considering this, there is a lot to be happy with the turn of events and the changes wrought that has impacted positively on the citizenry. There can be no doubt that there is a discerning sense of freedom and an air of well being among the general public during the past three years.
The Yahapalanaya government in the short span of three years under President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has displayed the will to succeed. While settling the mountainous debt, left behind by the Rajapaksa administration, it has taken determined strides to rebuild the economy and also usher in prudent development that would bring beneficial returns to the country.
The President and Prime Minister have already declared that the next two years will usher in a development revolution in the country and the Yahapalanaya government is unshakable and would run its full course.

You Know His Books, But Here Are 6 Things You Didn't Know About Shel Silverstein
By Tanya | May 12, 2017
There are some books that just last for generations, and are loved no matter when they are read. Shel Silverstein has created so many of these books. His ability to tell a sweet story in just a sweet poem or short book is practically unparalleled. He is still one of the best children's authors (at least in my opinion) but there is a lot more to him than that. Whether you were a fan of The Giving Tree, Falling Up, or any of the other books he released over the years, you may not have realized that his career didn't start in children's books.
1. He started his career in an unexpected way
It was actually the exact opposite. His first big job drawing cartoons was for Playboy! He met Hugh Hefner back in the 50s when he was working freelance. Hefner commissioned a few cartoons from Shel and then they continued to work together for over 40 years.
Silverstein was an interesting man who was a lot more than just a cartoonist and children's writer. He was something of a controversial figure because of his "playboy" reputation. At the very least, you can see he managed to live an interesting life.
2. Did you know he wrote songs for Willie Nelson?
When he wasn't writing books or drawing cartoons, he helped write classics like Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue". He also wrote songs for Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson and even Meryl Streep! The song Streep sang in the movie Postcards From The Edge called "I'm Checking Out" was actually nominated for an Academy Award!
3. He was particular about how his work was presented
Silverstein was very concerned about the type of paper and book that his work was displayed in. He would only work with publishers that allowed him to choose the type, size, shape, color and quality of the paper for the book. If you have ever owned a Shel Silverstein book you know that there is something special about them.
4. He was in the army
Silverstein was drafted into the United States army and served in both Japan and Korea. He actually had a whole bunch of comics about the army in his first book Take Ten.
5. He never read reviews of his work
He told Publishers Weekly that " I think that if you're creative person, you should just go about your business, do your work and not care about how it's received. I never read reviews because if you believe the good ones you have to believe the bad ones too. Not that I don't care about success. I do, but only because it lets me do what I want. I was always prepared for success but that means that I have to be prepared for failure too. I have an ego, I have ideas, I want to be articulate, to communicate but in my own way."
6. He hated happy endings
It's pretty obvious if you read some of his work that happy endings are really not his thing. He once told the New York Times that happy endings "create and alienation." He explained that "The child asks why I don't have this happiness thing you're telling me about, and comes to think when his joy stops that he has failed, that it won't come back." By writing stories that aren't the stereotypical endings at least they don't feel as bad.
Even though Silverstein passed away in 1999, his books will live on forever. Share if you remember reading his work when you were young!

Trippy drawings and psychedelic posters inspired by the '70s
Inside the psychedelic art and design movement Hard not to be hypnotized by psychedelic arts, right? The highly distorted or surreal visuals, kaleidoscopically swirling patterns, bright colors and movement make it impossible not to trip.The psychedelic movement was influenced mainly by the hippie culture, pacifism, and the interest in the eastern spiritualism. It was the most visually compelling product of the 1960s and early 1970s counterculture. This unique art form found expression in band posters and album covers, paintings, drawings, pictures, posters, murals and many other art forms.Likewise, it's impossible not to associate psychedelic arts with rock

This has inspired me to photograph my collection of Star Wars figures. I've got a good amount, a ton of POTF2 and some of every line since.
besides, the figures are for creating movies with, or for handling them with your hands.
They do that so they can resell them later when the price has risen much higher. You can't sell a figure that has already been taken out.
Of course, I would never sell my Commander Appo action figure. It's the only figure that I have.
I don't have any real display for my figures, I keep most of them in plastic organizers for storage. But I did set them up to take pictures.
First, there's my POTF2 figures. I have most of the line, these were always my favorite toys.
I only have a few figures from each prequel movie line, this is all.
I have quite a few figures from the recent post-movie lines, The Saga Collection, 30th Anniversary Collection, and Legacy Collection. Since there are so many, I split them into original trilogy era and prequel era.
Theres more around that I have to dig up.
EDITED: I accidentalyposted the same pic a few times in there, but I have now swapped in the right ones. Sorry!
it's so cool! The best ever figure I've seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PJ, your POTF collection is very similar to mine. You have a bunch of figures that I got as a kid.
And your Saga Collection, 30th Ann., and Legacy collection is amazing. WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT WHITE DARTH VADER!!! And for that matter that Xizor? I only have the old POTF version. Those Imperial Knights in the back are also awesome.
Those are all from the comic packs. I really love the EU comic packs they've been doing. I have quite a few Darth Vaders from over the years, but the white version really called to me.
I'm missing quite a few of my old POTF2 figures. I had the rest of the original Shadows of the Empire figures, and the Slave 1, but I have no idea where they are now. That ship was my favorite, and I especially loved the Luke in Coruscant Guard disguise. Hopefully I come across the rest of my figures some day.
You must have collected all that about for 18 years!
Great great stuff... But yeah the Shadows of the Empire figures were great, I also have the Luke in Coruscant guard disguise figure but i lost his helmet and cape...regrettably. It was a really cool figure.
The more I think about it... I might try to Ebay another one of those. I miss that figure.
As much as I always loved the 3 3/4" figures, my real favorites years ago were the Micro Machines. I had a lot of those transforming head playsets, the little Hoth, Tatooine, Endor and Dagobah environments, tons of little figures and vehicles... I collected a good amount of the Episode 1 sets, then there were none for Episode 2, only a few Action Fleet type toys, and Episode 3 only had the Titanium die cast ships. I have a few of those, but Hasbro has just announced that they are cancelling that line.
the Titanium die cast ships. I have a few of those, but Hasbro has just announced that they are cancelling that line.
Cancelling it BEFORE they produced an Outrider diecast model...of course. Just another set back by Hasbro, im so sick of them. They didnt do too well with the Indiana Jones line, and that really disappointed me.
Im so... nothing... I only got speeder, Slave 1, Millenium Falcon, Tyderium, Luke in Endor, Han Solo, Anakin (2), Darth Mauls ship, Jango Fett, Han Solo (Hoth) and so on. And I got a Boba Fett Marc Ecko sweater... regular price was 120-130$, but I bought it for half price.
That's a pretty good collection.
Who? Do you both mean me? No, not a big deal. Darth Mauls ship is like a miniature. And Tyderium is little bigger. Not a big stuff. But... I can show my Boba Fett sweater later.
BEHOLD WHAT I HAVE FORSEEN!!
He has a cloth cloak and other cool features...HE SHALL BE MINE!
I've had that figure for a few months. They are very good with the accessories on that wave. Two figures in it are actually 2-packs (Trinto Duaba w/ Dice Ibegon and Jawa w/ Treadwell droid), Ben and another have tables, with Ben's including a Leia hologram.
I just picked mine up today and I'm in love with it. Ben's left hand is in a Jedi Mind trick posture that is awesome. Ben's one of my top 3 star wars characters and now that I have him, i can die in peace...Victory is mine.
I dont recall saying random things like that first quote when you started talking about that cyberman figure. So dont do it to me. I hope im just misunderstaning one of your many random comments.
I know, you're excited. It always is, getting a new fig!
Btw, how is Ben getting along with you're other figures? Has he made any friends?
Yes indeed he has, I just dont know whether to put him in a duel pose with one of my Darth Vaders, watching the hologram of Leia asking for his help, or using the mind trick on some one...decisions decisions...the only satisfactory choice would be to buy more!
I would make a the death star tunnel walls with the blast door, then maybe ( if you have it ) the millennium falcon, with the hole in the middle of the floor, and some stormtroopers watching.
Sorry if that was annoying. Just trying to give some gid tips oot.
