Hey, this is the LEGO Boba Fett. What newspaper was it? I’d like to get a copy.
Hi SIMAFOL, we’ve asked Joe to dig up that info for you. Meanwhile we linked to your flickr gallery—very cool!
Thanks for sharing those pictures of the LEGO Boba Fett! I heard the story and just had to see what it really looked like. That is pretty awesome!
Often Nominated, but never awarded. No big deal. I had a Twi’lek on my left arm, and a Slave Leia on my right…. So you tell me.. Who lost again? HA!
But seriously, it was great meeting Dean-o face to face finally, Hanging with Rich a bit (He interviewed after I lost the award, so rattle his cage for that if you want to hear it) plus running amok with a few fellow 501st and RL folks, and meeting and chilling with a slew of great podcasters out there.
The event was so awesomesauce, that I’ll be going next year for certain!
