I've got another pile of Order 66 jedi and some extra TAC Luke's if you want them!  I could probably round up a handful of lightsabers if you want too - I have a bunch but want to keep most of them.

And more red Holos too. :)

Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Ahem - if you're dumping Stormtroopers Paul, I know a local guy who wants some.  Oh yeah, and that local guy is me.

Thanks. :)

And don't sweat the bidding war.  I'll probably just take it easy and slow on those.  I'm not in a rush to spend $35 for a book I've already read.  Even though I'd like to get rid of as many of the paperbacks as possible.

Thanks for the advice.  I signed up this afternoon.  I ordered:

Legacy of the Force - Exile
Legacy of the Force - Betrayal
Legacy of the Force - Tempest
Legacy of the Force - Bloodlines
Allegiance
Yoda - Dark Rendezvous
Dark Nest (3-1)

For a grand total of like $28 shipped.

5 selections, plus 1 bonus-buy for $5.99, and One of them was flat out free... some kind of special I guess. 

And they only require two purchases per year to remain a member.  Not too shabby.

I don't think I'd go so far as to say I think it's cool - but it's definitely better then another repaint.

That'd be great - PM coming up.

I didn't realize how they did these things... I always just assumed that they weren't available.  I guess it's one more thing to have to track down to have in the collection.

Thanks for the info.

If I join this Science Fiction Book Club will I be able to avoid this in the future by getting a crack at new ones when they come out in short supply like this?

Those look great Paul.  I personally wouldn't use Obi-Wan, Luke, Han or other iconic heads, but that's just me.

Title says it all - updated list of what I already have in the next post.  I'm working on turning that list into a what-I-need instead of a what-I-have list.

Jocasta's Reading Room / Rare hardcovers?
« on: July 10, 2007, 10:32 AM »
So I recently decided to upgrade as many of my paperbacks as I could into HC.  I've got 30 or so of these down now, mostly buying them up at a local place called Half Price Books.  They generally run about $8 each.

Then I find out that there are all these NJO books that go on eBay for $30 and $40 and I'm thinking that this doesn't fit with my model of wanting to upgrade as inexpensively as possible...

So I figured I'd ask if anyone around here knows of any place to get some of the more rare books for less.  I know it's a long shot, but what the hey...  And does anyone have info on why some of them are so rare compared to the rest?  I assume it's an edition size thing, but why?



Or if anyone has any of these they want to trade or sell I'm going to put up a thread in the classifieds with a list of ones I do have...

You can get him on eBay for around $10-12 shipped.

Excuse me, but I think I have the right to buy something if that's what I would like to do with my money!

No, you don't, but Target has the right not to sell to you, as ****** as it may be, for any reason they see fit.

Exactly - the only right we have is to take our rapidly emptying wallets elsewhere.

Problem there is that we as a collecting community would never be able to do this.

Of course. I'm talking about the individual here.  If Target refuses to bring you merchandise from the backroom, your only real recourse is to call corporate and complain (and hope they side with you) or head down the street to Wal-Mart.

I don't think I have a limit on these - I'm still tempted to use two for the Luke/Han versions - but with Hasbro certain to release them later on, I don't see any need to spend $17 per right now.
