Happy Thanksgiving!

 In the US this upcoming week is Thanksgiving, which for me is a holiday to watch typically bad NFL games since it's always the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions that host games against teams on the opposite ends of themselves. The Lions are having a great season and are hosting the Green Bay Packers, who historically have been a good team, but aren't this year. The Cowboys host the Washington Redskins, currently known as the Washington Commanders, and the Commanders stink. The night game is the only one worth watching: the San Francisco 49ers vs the Seattle Seahawks. To pass the time, I spend the day with family and eating a meal together (which is the best part of the holiday, the family time, not the food).


It is also a time to be thankful for the good fortunes experienced this current year. I am thankful for everyone who reads this, and hope that you are doing great! I'm also thankful that my family is doing well, and early next year I have another nephew arriving at that time! While it has been a crazy year, I'm just happy to still be here to see it!

And with the Thanksgiving holiday next week, there will be no blog posts next Sunday. I had a post planned for today covering a Kenner Holy Grail I recently acquired but I decided to rest up since I have a short but extremely busy week ahead, and want to get some extra rest. But, it does give me a plan for the rest of the year, so here's the schedule:

November 26th: No post
December 3rd: Kenner Holy Grail post
December 10th: My fanfic "The Choice" new Prologue and 1st 2 chapters will be posted!
December 17th: My final VC review of the year, and my review of the Black Series Endor Duel Luke Skywalker
December 24th: No blog post
December 31st: My top VC figures of 2023, and what I'm looking forward to in 2024!

So that's what I have in store for this blog the rest of the year. Again, I want to thank you for reading these posts, and while I haven't talked Star Wars collecting or what else is going on right now (Knigjts of the Old Republic remake is canceled), taking a break around a holiday is needed to rest  spend time with those you care about, and afterwards get back to the grind. Happy Thanksgiving!!

My SWTVC March Madness Top 25

  So I've finally gotten around to making my Top 25 for the SWTVC March Madness Tournament, and as a a reminder, the final day to get your Top 25 list is January 31st! When making your list, 1 is the most desired, with 25 being the least desired. So here is my list, with an explanation why they're ranked at their position. Some obvious omissions are Luke and Han from ANH because I think they'll both be in March Madness, and I did my best to spread it across the 9 episodic movies, plus video games and other expanded universe material. And as Casey Kasem said: "On with the countdown!" 1. Joruus C'baoth. He's my top choice because he's coming to the Black Series, and he's a Legends character. Plus since we have Thrawn, I want a C'baoth to better interact with him. This would have been Legends Thrawn, but due to the rules he couldn't be made as there is already an officer buck. 2. Mara Jade. You may have noticed my Legends trend, and you'd

The Choice

 Finally posting this fan fiction! It's my retelling of the Book Of Boba Fett Finale, and instead of the 1st 2 chapters, I'm publishing the 1st 4! Just have 2 more chapters and the Prolouge to write, and the conclusion will come sometime next year. Disclaimers: I don't own the characters and am only writing this for entertainment purposes, and am not seeking financial compensation for this work. In the comments I have notes about the characters.  Dramatis Personae Luke Skywalker Grogu Din Djarin Boba Fett Fennec Shand Black Krrsantan Mara Jade Pelli Motto Ren Xanatos (Ren's enforcer) Ardella (Ren's enforcer) Komat Cad Bane Prologue Ren sat on his throne, and was attempting to calm the rage growing at the holographic image before him. The Pyke Syndicate representative had told him of what had happened to the Marshall of Freetown on Tattooine. Not the leader of the syndicate, but a lackey tells him this. A lackey! And to top it off, without coming to him

2024 Last Figure Standing

Image
  Once again, Last Figure Standing is back for 2024! The rules are simple, 10 figures in order of preference. And another reminder this is for the Vintage Collection, I don't know if there is anything similar for the Black Series but if there is I'll share it here. Also note this was written in late July, as after SDCC, I have a few changes from last year's list since some of those are being made, but I don't see any changes for when this will start. And I should point out that voting hasn't started yet, but I am simply getting a jump start as I just got the VC Jabba the Hutt yesterday, and don't have time for a review and comparison to the 2010 Legacy Collection Jabba ready to go. Now, not all of these figures will be new sculpts, and of course I have just about all eras of Star Wars represented in this list. 10. Rey (Episode 8 Throne Room Duel). I hate the Disney Trilogy, but I want this figure since Rey looks like a Jedi. I wouldn't say no to a Rey Skywal
