Tags: Discounts   Geek Loot   Star Wars


Today I post my first article about geek loot for sale on-line. I want to hunt for discounts and coupons at on-line stores and publicize them here for all geeks to take advantage of. The danger of this scheme of mine is that I'm finding all these deals and my credit card feels the burn! I'm hopeless! But at least I'm saving money... that's what I'm telling myself.

Anyway, Things From Another World has a dragon's horde worth of stuff for all tastes. Right now they have discounts on some large Star Wars vinyl figures, including some by Japanese award-winning Kotobukiya. These figures measure around 12 inches tall, and include classic poses from the original trilogy, as well as some prequel characters like Darth Maul. Until July 31, these figures are discounted between 20% and 50%.

Now is a good time to shop for Star Wars collectibles since the franchise is in a lull. The last movie was more than two years ago, and the new TV series are still far away. Poor George Lucas, how does he pay the bills these days?

If you have any of the Kotobukiya figures, leave a comment and let me know what you think. I've never seen them myself, but the photos look great. I'd love to see some action shots!
