Star Wars news roundup

Demo for LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars just landed on XBox Live and since we are talking about LEGO Star Wars, take a look at this nifty ad campaign created by students of the Cuca Escola de Criativos.

Brought to you by Holy Cool, 15 cool stuff every Star Wars fan must have. Sadly, the cufflinks were a unique set and were already sold by the time I got to the Etsy page. [Update: I was able to buy another set from the same vendor]

Finally, Lucasfilm Animation is having its 3rd annual benefit art auction this week with some pretty cool items put on the auction block like the LEGO Ahsoka at the top of this post.

Yesterday was a good day

That's right, I scored a Scout Trooper from Kotobukiya (list price $99.99) and a Stormtrooper Animated from Gentle Giant (list price $69.99) for $100 at the New York Comic Con. Life is good.

PS: I was agonizing for about an hour over a Kotobukiya Luke vs Vader Mc Quarrie for $110 but it's a huge piece and I don't think I had room anywhere to put it on display.
