w00t! It's been 28 years since I rolled off the production line, and to mark this occasion I received a fair amount of swag this morning. First up, off the folks: Finally got the Takara box set. A bit of an oddity, but that pretty much completes all the TF box sets, for this country at least. I also received... The rather exsquisite Star Wars Vault - production notes, photos and repro'd oddities and merchandise from all six episodes. Inside the box is a huge hardback book: It's full of random stuff like this, I've not been able to put it down. Includes two CDs of vintage radio ads, the Star Tours soundtrack, George Lucas' original commentary... oh, and Princess Leia singing. Holiday Special ftw! I got money off my brother (my siblings live between 250 and 12,000 miles away), which I spent on this today: Lego Mars Mission Switchfighter! Thanks go to Chaos Muffin for bringing this set to my attention. It also transforms. I haven't received everything yet, so there's more to come.
You are one lucky guy, dude! i'm so envious of all the goodies dat you are getting. edit: & HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Only just saw this! Happy birthday matey, hope you had a good un, and that you feel OK in the morning
*hic* Thank you all. It's been quite a good'un, especially as I was only at work for 4 hours today. Full 7.5 hours tomorrow though, couldn't get any time off. I'll make up for it come the weekend though!
