Thanks so much Tamer! Really appreciate it. Just did a mass posting of Eli's article to all of the Star Wars pages AFE likes on Facebook. Hopefully that'll draw in some more support. Just received a bunch of boxes this morning. More donations for Eli! Some from YakFace readers, some from people I'm not familiar with their first names are Anthony and Zachary, not sure if they're Yarders or where they heard about Eli from but thanks all the same! Received a rebel trooper TVC, Emperor Palpatine with Shadow Troopers TFU, Darth Vader with incinerator troopers TFU, Malikili, hologram dooku, clone scuba trooper, and more. Also received more POTF2 loot from Wickedfluxx from the 501st as well as a POTF2 Millennium Falcon in the box!

You guys are awesome! Thanks for all the donations! Keep them coming :)

Haha yeah they got a P.O. Box for this recently so the post office can handle large shipments and they don't have to give out their home address.

Oh cool! I like Sandtroopers.com a lot. Glad they're on board too! Their post on their site is really awesome and they featured Wookielover1138's special report video. Check it out: http://sandtroopers.com/ and their forums: http://www.sandtroopers.com/smf/index.php?topic=14452.msg270082#msg270082

Thanks for that Darth Daddy! I'll be joining their forums soon too.

I just went to the Post office and shipped out 3 huge boxes of goodies to Eli. He shall be receiving them soon! theforce.net has "liked" the post I left on their facebook wall so they may post something about it soon too.

Of course will do! And while this is great and exciting news the reality is that we hope the transplants/transfusions take and work for him. The toy drive will continue on in full swing anyway, not to worry. Only when we know that Eli is 100% well and cured will we even consider ending it. But then I want to look for another young fan/collector to help and keep this wonderful charity effort alive. So we're excited, but not changing anything. Carry on, troopers :)

Very good news,   I fully understand this event as my youngest brother is now 1 year  plus out of a successful bone marrow transplant to treat/cure his leukemia.   No doubt we all hope for a swift and troublefree recovery. Just out of curiosity does he have a caring bridge page set up?

Anyhow, great news and I look forward to seeing may positive updates.  Be it for Eli or the next child in need, these types of drives shall continue :)

@Reconsgt: Thank you for your kind words and sharing your experience with your brother. Glad to hear he's doing much better now. Yes we're all hoping for a swift and easy recovery. Yes Eli does have a caring bridge page set up. Here is the link again: https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/elilana/createorsignin

Yes this drive and the next ones we start shall continue. Star Wars fans have always been unique and it's great to see we go above and beyond for our own :)


On a side note: AFE is proud to announce we now have forums set up on our blog! Please sign up, post, and create new threads. Let me know if you'd like moderator status. Eli has his own thread under the "Outreach" forum.
http://actionfigureempire.blogspot.com/p/action-figure-empire-forum.html#/        The forums can also be found on the front page directly below the header before the posts. Hope to see you there :)


Thanks and stay tuned!

That is such great news! I hope everything works out for him and a cure. I am almost done with his "go cart" and may have some pics later tonight.
