It's Just A Toy!!!

How much is too much?



The above image is for the Star Wars 30th Anniversary Darth Revan action figure; a figure that was gobbled up by collectors and is now only available for purchase through them, and if you want it it's going to cost you.

But why? It's just a toy we're talking about here folks. This figure doesn't do anything special; it doesn't walk or talk on it's own, it's not a treasure map, nor is it going to tell you the meaning of life. It's just simply a toy.

What made this toy popular? Well it's a figure of the main character that appeared in the popular Bio-Ware produced Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic video game. See not really special.

Honestly this is one figure that alludes our collection here at The Galaxy Junkyard, and we would love to have it, but there isn't a staff member here willing to pay $80, heck it would be hard to get us to pay more than $10.

Sadly you can see people do attempt to pay these prices, and we are all guilty of such acts, but folks we have to remember, it's just a toy. -GJ

Star Wars - The Old Republic #5 (Comic)


In Star Wars - The Old Republic Issue 5 we continue our journey with Teneb Kel, the young Sith sent to find the traitor Exal Kressh, the Emperor's former apprentice.

Kel comes face to face with Kressh, and after a brief exchange of blows is bested. Kressh spares his life, but brings down the entire space colony to make a clean escape.

Kel and his partner/pet/slave Maggot manage to get off the colony before it comes crashing down on the nearby planet, but their ship is damaged and they are left to hunt for the colony wreckage to find the appropriate materials needed to make repairs.

Kel travels alone and leaves Maggot to start repair work with what they have so far. Injured and out in the desert, Kel has a vision; a vision that leaves him with a glimpse of his future, a future he now plans on changing.

To make matters worse for Kel, while making repairs Maggot receives a visitor in the form of a young Jedi Padawan, who only wants to talk with Maggot, but informs him that his Master has gone off into the desert in search of something that he felt in the force.

Don't miss the exciting conclusion to this arc next month when Star Wars - The Old Republic Issue 6 goes on sale December 1, 2010. - GJ

Star Wars - The Old Republic #2 (Comic)


SPOILER ALERT

Star Wars: The Old Republic Issue 2 like Issue 1 is still all over the place; bouncing from location to location, Jedi to Sith and back again. This just seems to complicate matters if you become distracted for a mere second. Hopefully by issue five things will have become a little bit more straight forward.

People/aliens seem to die far to quickly; Jedi, Sith, it doesn't matter. Duels amongst Sith and Jedi are to be epic but yet are no more than two frames and that's it. The Jedi Grand Master himself falls quickly to a bounty hunter, and that just shouldn't happen.

Speaking of Grand Masters, with the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance we have already learned the fate of Jedi Knight Satele Shan, which is that she will become the Grand Master of the Jedi in later years. This kind of takes away from the story when you know her outcome through this series, and if she appears in additional novels that will ruin even more.

Yes, events do take place prior to the movies and there are additional novels and comics for the time period up to 125 years after Return of the Jedi, so we do kind of know the outcome of the overall picture, but it just seems nice to have some mystery surrounding these event.

At this point one can hope that this will run opposite of the Knights of the Old Republic series which started out fantastic but came up short; may be an all over the place start will make for a strong finish. Only time will tell.
