Here's one for the older fellas, the still amazingly gorgeous Raquel Welch. Specifically from the 1966 (yes, nineteen sixty-six) film entitled One Million Years B.C.. OMG! Check out the link for various shots of Mrs. Welch. The shot of her sporting the Tarzan-like skins is from what I am refering to, and she still rocks to this very day!

Most honorable mention: Xev. Now that fine-lookin' lady makes me want to touch myself in an impure manner.

I know the changes to Bespin Luke are minor but, those changes make all the difference in the world for some carded collectors like myself. Hell, on the card, it's practically a completely different figure when compared side-by-side with the Saga version. I love it!

I will be buying every OTC figure that comes out, hopefully there will be more besides the 38 or 39 we've seen so far. What can I say, I'm a semi-completist that's a sucker for a pretty package, no matter what's inside. On the other side of the coin I'll be skipping the entire V-OTC altogether. Go figure? I guess I now know exactly how little I appreciate super-articulated, soft goods STAR WARS figures.

Does anyone know if the OTC Bespin Luke is the Saga version or new? Wasn't there once supposed to be a Bespin Luke with a CD rom, could this be that version? Thanks.

I just completed a very successful trade with Beth and highly, HIGHLY recommend her to any one here that has not had the pleasure of trading with her. Everything arrived very well packed and in excellent condition. She shipped quickly as well. I can't say enough good things about ya Beth.

Until next time,
Todd

After twenty years you'd think people would give up on this pipe-dream, I did by `86.  I hate to break it to all the faithful Dave fans out there but a full-blown reunion probably won't happen if it hasn't happened in the last two decades. Sorry. Let's face it, the man was an arrogant prick! Try to find some (really) old issues of Hit Parader, Circus, etc. and read up on why the brothers threw his ass out of the band, He really did have it coming.

Please don't get me wrong, Dave with Van Halen rocks like nothin' else and remains the ultimate Van Halen. However, Sammy with Van Halen was great too, it was just an entirely different animal. To me, it's the same as AC/DC with Bon Scott or Brian Johnson, Iron Maiden with Paul Di'Anno or Bruce Dickenson. They all kick serious ass in their own right. That being said, I won't be seeing VH perform any more regardless of who sings for them.

Added loose 12" Biker Scout and Speederbike to my "haves" list.
