Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Yowie and I go over the latest in the Star Wars galaxy in this week’s Unboxing Star Wars video. We bring out a B-wing as we talk about Hera in this week’s Rebels episode, ‘Wings of the Master’, and try some Star Wars packaged Honey Nut Cheerios. We also show off some Star Wars stamps from the UK and talk about the upcoming Vader Down comic crossover event. I even talk about a scene from Rescuers Down Under.
TFN posted a reminder today that the Star Wars 15-stamp sheet will no longer be available after the 25th. (Yoda stamps are okay through October.)
Postage rates have gone up since these were issued, so if you actually plan on using them be sure to make up the difference.
