Well I was going through some odds and ends today and found I had an extra R2-KT Astro-Mech figure and as I was clearing out some of my last odds and ends I decided that all proceeds from this ebay auction will go towards the Toys for Eli Drive. I will let AFE decide how best to make use of said funds.

Here is the Ebay link for the R2-KT Astro-Mech. I figured it was just fate that put that particular figure in my hands to perhaps do some good for another youngster who was fighting the good fight.

That's an awesome figure and for a sad and good cause. Thanks Tamer! The proceeds will be put towards shipping costs for Eli's packages. I hope the auction does well. I can give you my Paypal info when the auction ends. Thanks yet again Tamer! Way to go!

You guys are awesome! Look forward to receiving the DVDs soon. Eli will be away for 6 months for his treatment process starting April 12th. He has a long road ahead of him and is not out of the woods yet. The toy drive will continue on and his family members will be able to pick up our packages and he can swap out what he brings to the hospital for new toys and other items periodically. His mother has asked that we keep him and them (his family) in our prayers. If you don't pray then in your hearts and minds. This is a really good idea with the eBay auction. I have some items that never sold on ebay. Mostly comic books and some old star wars toys. Maybe we can do something with those? Unless someone here wants them for pennies on the dollar?

I have posted links and info about this auction on the AFE front page, on our facebook page, on Eli's facebook page, on the 501st Legion forums, on the Garrison Excelsior (the ones who originally posted about Eli and visited him) forums. Hopefully this will draw in a few more bids :)

Big thanks from Eli's mom (I think it was her who posted it) for the auction!
