Thanks! Subsequently all taken care of!
You merciless tease!

Yeah, that's a bigger wrinkle now than then... though I never really could figure out what the Gabor sisters were actually famous for either...

I was speaking to the people who hadn't ordered them yet, Mike!

Heh. The original Kardashians --- Holy Crow, just imagine the reality show that coulda been with Zsa Zsa, Eva, Magda and Mama Jolie, with special guest star George Sanders, who was married to two of 'em (Zsa Zsa and Magda)!!

You're expecting to be including some or all of these patterns in a future run, right?

Oh, man. No wonder he committed suicide. (Okay, okay... Sanders decided he would commit suicide when he was 65 many, many years earlier, in 1937.)

Still, here's a note from his online bio: "Sanders's last marriage was on 4 December 1970, to Magda Gabor, the elder sister of his second wife. This marriage lasted only six weeks, after which he began drinking heavily."

These were chessex made and the other one's I'll eventually be doing are going to be done by my local place. I'm sure I could have more of these original ones done by chessex, though. Phantalien helped me get the ball rolling with these.

I'd probably just have them done by chessex again, but I'm tempted to have them done by my local place to see how THEY would turn out.

To actually answer your question though....Yes. I will probably have them made again assuming that I sell out of these. After I hit up all my friends and make sure that they get what they need, I will hit up the general public of HCREALMS.

While a Marvel set will always trump even the best of the DC output in my fan's heart of hearts, the Superman FF Pack is a nice one. In fact - while I haven't picked one up yet - it played a strong role, as I look ahead into what's been announced for 2012, in my current decision to only buy FF Packs when it comes to DC Heroclix output next year.

That should give me some nice versions of characters, along with the maps, helping to hold me over. Beyond that I'll try to stick to the plan to (aside from what I'd pick up playing in sealed games) use my Marvel excess to trade for other DC pieces of interest.

Ah! Okay, I thought these were the test cases. Now I understand.

I'm figuring the Nova ones will be of particular interest come next spring, so I'm guessing they're the safest bet of the three for a second run.

Guardians of the Galaxy ones will be hotter, I would think, but you aren't wrong either.

Okay. Time for me to get back to work on something. If I poke around the Realms much longer I'm going to start to get sleepy.

If I catch a serious second wind and find myself up in a couple hours, I may be back.

Good point! I was just concentrating on the various bits of Nova love seen in each of the sub-lines for the set.

I'm just finishing up Assassin's Creed tonight. What game should I play next? I've got Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 sitting here unplayed and I just got a copy of Battlefield: Bad Company for only $10. What one should I play?

Sometime after George Sanders' self-inflicted demise, I read David Niven's recollection of how GS had told him of that paricular decision --- as you say. "many years earlier" indeed.

Yikes. What a strange sad story that was.... not to mention a way of keeping one's word that had fatal consequences.

It's an odd, sad mix of details. After some time spent marinating in whatever was in those bottles, I could imagine that long-ago promise rearing its head as a growing point of honor for him. He was two months and a little more than a week away from his 66th birthday when he took those three bottles of sleeping pills.

Dutch courage combined with a bleak outlook is unlikely to lead to a good decision on anything.
