Hey guys.  This past weekend I started building a deck on our new house.  This is the second deck I've ever built (the first was on our last house), but the first where I'm doing most/all of the work by myself.  With the last deck, my father (retired bricklayer) helped out a lot with the layout, cuts, labor, etc. as I had never built a deck before.  Now he's a bit older and far less physically able to do manual labor.  He's still my consultant, but he's not allowed to do more than that...

So here are a few pictures of what's done so far:






The next stage involves attaching the railing posts and the decking.  I should have that done over the next few weeks.  It's going to take that long because I start my next class this weekend and then it's Memorial Day weekend and we are going camping.  I'll keep posting more pictures once more is completed.

Any professional carpenters out there?  What do you think so far?

There is going to be an Indiana Jones 2-Pack available to celebrate the release Indy 4 this summer.  For those of you that already own the Star Wars Series 2 chase figure, there is enough of a difference between that figure and this year's release.  Although I'm not very happy with the 2-pack release (I would have prefered a full Indy Series of figures), it's better than nothing...

This did not come from the Medicom web-site, but was found at blister.jp by someone over at KubrickNation.  A picture and link to the website are attached:

Just wanted to say Happy New Year to everyone here at JD.  Hope everyone had a great time last night and made it home safe.

Since my wife and I haven't gone out since our sons were born, I'm interested to hear what everyone did last night.  We had a quiet night at home and were asleep by 10:30.  I know, boring, but when the boys are up at 6:00 or earlier, it makes staying up and drinking until past midnight less appealing.

This is the last McQuarrie figure that I need.  Please help me out.  Would rather buy from another forum member than go on ebay!  Thanks.

Looking to finish off the basic figures I still need from the first 7 Series of Kubricks.  I still need the following:

Series 2
Cantina Band Member - Either version x 3 *Pending*

I'd also like to get the following extras:
Series 2 Obi-Wan Kenobi
Series 3 Lando Calrissian
Series 4 Luke Bespin Gear *Pending*
Series 4 Han Hoth Gear *Pending*
Series 4 Emperor Palpatine *Pending*
Series 5 Yoda
Series 6 Luke X-Wing Pilot *Pending*

Thanks for looking.  PM me if you can help me out.

Hey Everyone,

I'm selling off the remaining figures, beasts, and vehicles from my collection from the Episode I era through now.  Please send me a PM if you're interested (offers accepted as well).  Everything you see below is either carded or in the original sealed box (I will ship loose if requested).  I'm basing a lot of my prices on what others are selling their items for, or what I'm seeing on ebay for items I haven't seen recently on the boards.  Prices do not include shipping.

Thanks for looking!

I thought that there was already a thread for these, but I couldn't find it.  Sorry if this is a re-post.

Having missed out on the first round of these which included Darth Vader, R2-D2, Chewbacca, and Stormtrooper, I was pleasantly surprised to see the second round of these in the latest Insider (#97).  The next offerings will include:

Boba Fett
ANH Luke Skywalker
ANH Princess Leia (holding a blaster)
ANH Han Solo

I think that I'm going to have to have to get one of the Boba Fetts once they come out.  Anyone else have any of the first wave?
