If you are a collectibles fan with plenty of room for Star Wars related tchochkes, then the Force might be with you this holiday season.
CollectiblesToday.com has two decorative items on sale for your living room, bedroom or Star Wars-themed basement (am I the only one who has one of those?)
First up is the Star Wars Illuminated Stained-Glass Panorama (say that three times fast) from The Bradford Exchange Home Decor. Officially licensed by Lucasfilm, this nearly two foot-wide, bright and colorful hand-painted wall display features all your favorite characters from the original Star Wars Trilogy. Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie and all the rest are on display inside a black lacquered frame emblazoned with a golden Star Wars logo plaque.
For those lil' ones who might be afraid of the dark side (though aren't we all?) the panaroma display comes with a built-in, long-lasting, illumination switch. Parents, just tell the kids its the coolest night-light in the entire galaxy. It also makes a for a great conversation piece - just as long as you don't invite any Trekkers over to your house!
The Star Wars Illuminated Stained-Glass Panaroma includes a hanging device for immediate display as well as a certificate of authenticity.
Payments of $33.99 can be made in 5 "easy" installments, plus $17.99 shipping and handling. The site also offers a 100% 365-day money-back guarantee. Just hope your sales agent's last name isn't Calrissian.
Also available from CollectiblesToday.com is the Star Wars Galactic Village Collection from Hawthorne Village. You know that Christmas village your mom or aunt puts on the mantle the day after Thanksgiving? Well, this is the George Lucas version.
Issue One is a miniature replica of that most wretched hive of scum and villainy, the Mos Eisley Cantina. This "expertly handcrafted," illuminated and fully-sculpted 3-D collectible is not just hand-painted but also hand-numbered with matching certificates of authentication from Hawthorne Village.
Measuring 7-1/4" W x 5-3/4 H, the Mos Eisley Cantina includes a FREE Luke Skywalker figurine and can be purchased with three payments of $19.98. Check the website for shipping and handling info.
If you're satisfied with your purchase and have way more discretionary income than I do, you can continue your collection with Issue Two - the Hoth Rebel Base with FREE Darth Vader figurine.
