Looks like a good cast so far.  It seems like it may be sitting a tiny bit high on the neck post.  Now is this a full head sculpt, or a helmet?

One thing you might want to be prepared for if you cast is that it may shrink.  This is something that even Hasbro can't avoid with production at the mass scale.  So give it a decent ammount of time to cool.  Otherwise you might run into potential deformities.

Finished Dragons last week...for the most part, I liked it the beginning was a little slow but the end made up for it.  Way better than Crows...I can see how these are really books 4a and 4b but I could see that they could have been together with some really heavy editing. 

The count starts now for Winter...I'll guess 4 years from now

I just finished A Feast for Crows, and now I'm a few chapters into A Dance with Dragons.  And I agree:  it's like volume 4-A & volume 4-B.  As I read my way through A Feast for Crows I was left wondering what the hell had happened to a number of characters after the end of A Storm of Swords.  And it became very clear that A Feast for Crows had a somewhat more narrow focus on a number of storylines, most notably around the Lannisters.

It leaves me wondering: how will HBO handle this for the show?  After all, it seems as though the events of book 4 & 5 are happening concurrently.  I can't imagine that they would want to see an entire cast of characters just disappear (Jon, Dany, Tyrion, Stannis, etc) while the adaptation of book 4 focuses on the Lannisters, Brienne, Sam, Sansa, Arya & the Iron Men.  But the prospect of combining the two books for one big MEGA-SEASON just seems difficult to comprehend.

Thanks to George for a great trade!  We agreed to terms quickly and the transaction happened just as fast.  I totally recommend trading with him, and would definitely do so in the future.

That's the neighborhood.  But as the flagship store in the chain the Times Square store does get stocked reasonably well.  The crowds are part of that trade-off.

Interesting.  The series has finally taken on a storyline that was previously explored in Dark Horse comics.

EE had LOADS of Jabba with throne at NYCC.  I guess they took a significant position with this piece, and now they're looking to clear them out.

It really is remarkable to see the differences between the modern and vintage versions of Chief Chirpa.  The attention to scale alone is astounding.

And the TSC version of Chief Chirpa was a significant transitional point for how Hasbro would approach Ewoks in the future.  It marked the beginning of scaled down Ewok figures that featured significant ammounts of articulation and some pretty cool accessories.  I've been pleasantly surprised to see just how far Hasbro has taken this new Ewok concept since then, along with revisiting some of the Ewoks that had been made in the modern era like Wicket and Logray.  Personally, I like setting up the TSC Chief Chirpa in the Ewok throne that came with the TSC C-3PO.
