Far more sad to me than the death of Hunter S Thompson (never read any of his work) was this email I got today after I asked an eBay seller whether or not she’d ship to Canada:
“My younger brother died and he had four closets stacked to the ceiling with star trek and star wars including boxed figures. If your interested in this kind of collectibles keep and eye out, I will be listing as much of this stuff as I possibly can through out the coming weeks. It takes me time because I work.”
Yikes! That’ll take the joy out of getting that sweet deal on the Ewok Village playset, MISB, complete with inserts (with a little shelf-wear on the edges). It’s just like the time Tasha Yar died… *sniff*
