Never read any Star-Lord comics (never saw any at any of
the racks I frequented) but I always loved that design!

Any special affinity for Star-Lord, JB?

None. Actually lost interest in the character about 4 pages before the end. Look at those pages with that in mind, and you can pretty much tell.

(A number of people compared Chris' script for STAR-LORD to STAR WARS. When I read it, I asked him where the monkey was, which he took as a reference to Chewbacca. But actually I was thinking SPACE GHOST.)

Resigning myself to the reality of having nowhere to actually DISPLAY it, yesterday I demolished the Lego Coliseum and put all the pieces back in the box.

Revisiting this thread after a few weeks away... I love that classic Iron Man statue on the previous page. Wow!

Funko Pop has a ten inch version of Christopher Reeve’s Superman.

Couldn’t resist.

Just learned there’s a LEGO series called “Friends” (unconnected to the TV series) that is intended to be “girl-friendly”. To this end the mini-figs that come with it are “more realistic”, meaning still cartoony but less blocky.

However, they still have Lego hands, those grasping claws, which evoke disturbing memories of thalidomide.

Started the LEGO At-At. This time setting it up as an assembly line, which somewhat diminishes the pain of multiple identical assemblies.
