Hey, let's get a quick post out to pair with a similar Zapping recap at the njwv blog today, as I too received another fun mystery package from Zippy Zappy a few days ago.
The bulk of the mailer was a couple Lego Star Wars sets in various states of completion. I'll hope to build these back to their full glory one day.
I don't have much in the way of cool minifigs, so these are very welcomed in my Lego tub. (Skateboarding Yoda will be displayed out for a while.)
My Star Wars card collection consists basically of one modern completed set (Remember back when I went after the 40th Anniversary set to ring in my big birthday?), 2 or 3 decent autographs, and then like a potpourri of a few random cards from a bunch of different sets. Which feels perfect since I'm a big Star Wars fan but not like a full-on supernerd about it. Nice to get a look at what's out there. The autograph here is Hermione Corfield as Tallie Lintra (an A-Wing pilot in The Last Jedi).
Legos and Star Wars are cool, but baseball is the best. Can't forget 2011 Topps has a bunch of solid rookies besides the big one. Kenny also had plenty of empty top-loaders and card savers to pass on to me, not pictured.
And a few non-baseball cards. Love to see Alexa Bliss pop up in a trade package, though it turns out I already had these 3 cards in the PC. No worry, though, as it's a good excuse to sacrifice them for use in cardart.
I probably should have looked these up first, as it turns out the Wrestlemania card was like a $10 card before I cut it up. Whoops! lol, oh well; for art. I also accidentally cut myself during this project-- my first cardart injury to break the skin-- though just a tiny cut. Blood, sweat, and tears, am I right?!
I made a quick video of them, with bobbling action:
Thanks again, Kenny! Always appreciated.
The amount of space sending this and the package to Nick managed to free up was absolutely great. I love LEGOs but I think going forward just a small handful of minifigs and a neat microfighter is the most I'm willing to go for it.
ReplyDeleteOh wow that box must've sounded amazing when you got it.
ReplyDeleteA. Star Wars Rebels Lego sets are awesome! I hope that Lego decides to put out more of them one day, because I wasn't collecting them when they first released. I did pick up the new Ghost last year... but it's actually based on the Ahsoka series.
ReplyDeleteB. Those Alexa Bliss customs are awesome! I love how you color match the backgrounds.
