Collection Diary Entry 2003-03-10

I don't know why school supplies appeal to me so much. It's probably because I was 10 when Star Wars was released, and so spent my prime school years surrounded by the Saga phoenominon.

Today was a HUGE day for my school supplies collection. Two new classic-years manufacturers were discovered! First there was Flomo out of Singapore. Their designs are so different then any other manufacturer I've seen so far. The use of relective stickers and choice of accessories (spring loaded paperclips?) and (yes!) even little bottles of Star Wars glue make them an instant favorite!

But I had said there were TWO new manufacturers in my listings...



Merlin (country of origin unknown) also put out a school pack which is more of a plain design. I did especially like the imprinted pencil though. And then they created a tin pencil box. The Boba Fett art is wonderful! As before, I'm exploring the line to see what other goods they may have manufactured.
