    Yeah, the only thing she would know by looking through the Jedi Archives, like she said, is to know they fought together.

    Some believe she was revealing that she knew Leia was his daughter, but I'm not sure about that. If so, there is more to how she knows

    If this was true, I don't think Bail would say "Only you know how important she really is, Obi-Wan" when asking for his help.

    Much like comics, Doctor Who has been a lifelong love for me. I can still remember Aggedor running through the cave towards Jon Pertwee, the piano bars of Baker's robot, the Krynoid getting bigger and bigger, the mummies, the maggots and Weng Chiang. And Eldrad must live! of course. The cards in the weekly Weetabix box were a thing of wonder and excitement. Doctor Who Weekly became Doctor Who Monthly and my Target novelisation collection grew and grew.

    Then, as I matured to a teenager, I started to get right into it. During the Davison era, I started sending my drawings to fanzines and started collecting any memorabilia I could afford. I watched Mawdryn Undead again, for the first time in many years recently. Oh dear how badly it had aged! But I loved it at the time, and Doctor Who more or less kept pace with my own development right up to the Capaldi era which I loved as an adult, just in a different way to my love as a kid for the Pertwee to McCoy era.

    Anyway, I spotted an eBay listing for all the original printing pages of Doctor Who Bulletin #33 and couldn't resist buying it:

    I wonder what the % would be today, for getting shot of Chibbers, were he not already leaving?

    The listing said it was for every page but #13, the artwork page:

    Here's the missing art page, in the printed copy:

    And here, reunited for the first time since 1985, is my original artwork page that was sent back to me after printing all those years ago:

    I get a kick out of that - bringing together the entire issue templates for the first time in nearly 40 years:

    I miss those innocent days :)

    That is so cool.  Love it.

    Technically, a later printing is not a first appearance, so while they may be harder to find, the value should be diminished based upon the reality that a possible 5th printing came out months after the 1st.

     

    This !  Too many people that don't understand comics just paying too much buying reprints on 1st appearances because it's rare.  :screwy:

    Board member drewincanada passed away

    Not many people here may remember Andrew Arntfield even by his board name, drewincanada. It was quite a few years ago when we were both regulars here and got to know each other due to us both being Avengers fans and both of us were jokingly competing in building up slabbed Avengers collections. Anyway, we got to be friends and got to meet up some years ago when he visited the UK, you couldn’t hope to meet a nicer guy.

    Having both drifted away from the CGC boards, we managed to keep in touch a bit through FB over the years and so I heard about his heart attack last week which he seemed to be recovering from and I wished him a speedy recovery. Sadly, I’m gutted to say that I’ve just heard that he has passed away.

    As I said, he hasn’t been on the boards for some time but I just wanted to post about his passing for those who remember him.

     

    Rest in peace, mate.

    Oh wow this makes me sad.  Andrew sold me loads of books and he was great to work with.  Don't think I met him when he visited the UK sadly :(

    I don't know if I ever showed this.  Due to my past I lost all my toys except 2 items which I am guessing about 20 years ago when at one point my adoptive family actually talked to me and brought me the items.  One being a C64 computer which the motherboard fried on so I sold it off for parts.  The second item was a 200 in 1 electronics kit.  I ended up taping it up and putting it in a storage bin back then but lately I was going thru all my stuff since been doing some electronic amp building and such and was like oh yeah I have this.  This is the only actual item left from my childhood.  I have been going thru it and testing all the components and so far everything is working.  Even have the original earpiece, bunch of the wires and the manual which is missing a couple pages.  $59.99 cdn price tag on it which back then isn't cheap for a toy.  So yep only actual piece of my childhood left since lost all my Joes, Transformers, go bots and such even though I have rebuilt that collection but the ones I have now are not my originals.
