I’ve just returned from a trip to the US and this is all of the SW stuff I bought during my stay there.

It’s not that I can’t find SW stuff in Scandinavia, but since it’s all new and imported it costs a lot more than random goodwill store finds in the US. Plus finding these kinds of things in goodwill stores in Norway is rare to the point of never happening. Also the old Marvel SW comics are simply straight up impossible to find (unless you count the translated versions, which I do own most of), so those are the ones I’m the most happy about getting.

God damn, all that came from a few goodwill stores? I wish we had better ones near me.

Well, the comics I got from a comic shop, Catalyst I bought at a B&N (but I figured I’d include it here anyway), and Heir to the Empire I funnily enough got at Trek Fest in Iowa, so I only got the three Bounty Hunter Wars book at a goodwill[thrift] store.

And even that was quite an unusual goodwill[thrift] store. They had a lot of SW books (many of which I already own), an entire section for comics (quite well taken care of), so that particularly store was quite a lucky find. I sure as hell don’t have thrift stores that good where I live.

EDIT:
I seem to have used “Goodwill” as a catch-all phrase for thrift shops in general, so that might have been misleading.
