Collection Diary Entry 2003-09-28

Some days you've got to search The World to find something new...

Today I was in Tyler Texas searching the thrift shops, and I was having no luck at all. Finally in the back of the last store, I spotted the book section and noted how old the poor tomes were. In fact, they even had a set of encyclopedias from 1985, complete with a set of 'Year Books' from 1965-1985! With a sudden burst of inspiration I started digging through the index, and sure enough! 1978, 1980, 1981, and 1983 all had entries about the trilogy!! There's Star Wars everywhere... if you look hard enough!

(More if you keep reading)



Charlotte the mail lady brought me the rest of today's additions. First from the UK I received this Darth Maul keychain made by Applause. Unlike the U.S. versions, the Applause UK keychains came mounted in a bubble and attached to a cardback.

One ebay seller completely disregarded the "not for resale" label on this preview disc (fortunately for me!). Not being big on video games anymore, I was happy to pay a modest fee to get my hands on a sealed disc.

Okay, maybe Tamara isn't always thrilled about getting used stuff, but this Jawa shirt was certainly a hit! And the last polo shown above (also used) is a Big Dog 'Dog Wars' polo for me!
