   I know all the dealers who do signings with Star Wars and harry Potter   
   people. I would agree he's not one. ESPECIALLY Ford. That's a hard   
   one to get and only two have done it. Three if you count Master   
   Replicas a few years ago. Still, that is not to say he didn't get   
   them at cons or in person. However, I still have not looked (have a   
   lot of people coming today for pickups on items I've given away and   
   out later so probably not time today either). But with all the   
   controversy, it's been my mantra that if your gut tells you something,   
   it's probably true. When you first look at something you get this   
   feeling within seconds... first it COULD be excitement, but then you   
   get this "red flag" thing that if you ignore, you're pretty much   
   screwed.   
      
   PS Send me a link to a specific Star Wars item that you think is bad;   
   I can quickly look at that probably.
