Star Wars Mailboxes and Garbage Cans and Stamps and…

Lots of stuff related to the Star Wars 30th anniversary lately.

First R2D2 mailboxes:
[mygal=r2d2mailboxes]

Details here.

Then we have the U.S. post office issuing Star Wars stamps:
[mygal=swstamps]
You can go vote on which stamp you want to be made here.

And now, on sale in Japan, a $140 R2D2 trashcan (although I really doubt this is officially licensed).
[mygal=rsd2trashcan]

Product page here (in Japanese).
I think $140 is a bit much for a plastic trash pail, so am I weird for still wanting one? Though it does come with the above pictured pez dispenser keychains if you “ORDER NOW!!!11oneoneleventyone!!” .

George Lucas Lord of the Rings

What if George Lucas made the LotR movies?

Very funny, and dead on parody animation. Mind you, I’m not the biggest fan of the Peter Jackson movies either, but I really think Lucas has either lost his mind or just doesn’t give a shit anymore.

Hang Drum – I want one!

This looks like a lot of fun.

It’s called a hang drum (or just a “hang” according to Wikipedia, but since Wiki is the only source I can find that refers to it without the drum I’d take that with a grain of salt).


Unfortunately it seems you either have to go to Switzerland to buy one new for $1000US or wait for one on Ebay for 3 times that price =P

The matrix, but done by Jim Henson’s Muppets…

Top 10 Video Game Quotes

There are some other quotes I would add to this list, and at some point I will get around to posting about some of the great quotes I have seen go into games I personally worked on, but for now this is a pretty amusing list.

Number 9:

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PlayStation)

“What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets! But
enough talk! Have at you!”

– Dracula
