Pretty cool knife, I like that!

Thanks Shawn. I'm not a knife collector, but I'm (re)building my camping and hiking gear for next year, when I intend to take some trips. I do have a few knives like Mora, Ka-Bar and Cold Steel, but the Fallkniven A1Pro is now connected with the Star Wars universe - it is an expensive knife, we got it directly from Fallkniven Sweden, and it is one heck of a knife (the regular A1 is used by many US special operations personnel and the F1 model was adopted by the Swedish Air Force). Again special thanks to my girl for this cool present

The Japanese "Star Wars Chronicles Episode IV, V and VI - Vehicles" book arrived, it is a great source of interesting information and unseen pictures regarding the studio scale ships and vehicles from Original Trilogy. I like how Japanese books are well packed and wrapped, seen this before with my manga and anime art books, and now with this Star Wars book. I highly recommend this book if you like studio scale models:

I had these ordered for 90 pounds plus international shipping.  I ended up cancelling the order, maybe I will regret it?  Especially as the pound had dropped since I placed the order, lol.

"Star Wars Art: Ralph McQuarrie" art books arrived. These books are huge and superb. Splendid design, you can find out everything about the talented artist that was Ralph McQuarrie. High quality binding, beautiful pictures of his gorgeous drawings, and excellent information. A must have book for any Star Wars fan, especially if bought at the original Amazon UK lower price.

This is not a cheap art book. you need to find out if you are interested enough in getting it and spending the money. IMO it is well worth it.

AT-AT Driver by Sideshow, a very cool figure, though the body is worse than the TIE Pilot. I like the figure, the accurate gray color is very cool and the greeblies on the helmet and armor are an improvement over GG's bust and Marmit figure. Overall 8/10:




R2-Q5 and R5-J2 Imperial Astromech Droids by Sideshow arrived, very cool:

Yeah I like mine too and thought it fairly accurate. I wanted to see what you thought though.

Pretty cool Serg. I like the look of it.

Glad they finally made a nice 501st Romanian Outpost patch. Same colors with the ACD

Hot Toys Rogue One Darth Vader figure arrived:







I only replaced the relaxed hands on my ANH Vader with RO versions, and didn't take the RO Vader figure out of the box. Now wondering if I should sell the RO Vader with the remaining hands.

[Tamer]

Looks pretty sweet. So you got this one just for the hands?

[jkno]

You can say that. Since my HT ANH Vader is professionally modded by the talented JazzInc, I only needed the better hands/gloves the RO Vader came with. And I already got PM's on forums for this figure, and also on the Romanian selling sites. If I sell it in Romania, I'll replace all RO hands/gloves with the ANH ones (of course I let know the buyer). There are 2 Romanian guys who want it as it stands, with ANH hands, no problem
