HOLY - GUACAMOLE!!!!!!! Those are fantastic!!!!!! I weep for the unproduced swag. Look, there was going to be a magazine binder!!!!!! Oh wow! Amazing share. I don't think I've ever seen any of those magazines or discs, but truth be told when I have no money I avoid entering "Babylon 5" in searches.

Speaking of unproduced, but I heard there might be parts of the world that did get it - anyone ever see a Pak'ma'ra action figure?

Someone has issues 3 and 4, unopened, for sale on eBay for a good price, they say they ship to the United States but if not I'm happy to help out again. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/386609058924

I think the Pak'ma'ra was meant to be part of the final wave of figures that also included Lochley, Bester, the Drazi and the Gaim. I've seen pictures of the painted prototype in promotional material, which maybe is what led to the suggestion that it had been released. Some one on Reddit also has had an unpainted prototype (

but I don't think it was ever released. I've certainly never seen one here in the UK.

Yeah I know it was in that wave. It is one of those things that REALLY sticks in my gut! I had the whole wave pre-ordered and then they canceled the release. A few months later they brought it back minus that figure - for the same price I believe. Still makes me so angry. I heard a rumor back in 2005, or so, that the complete wave was released in Canada, but it was false. Oh I'd love to have that unpainted prototype.

And thanks for the eBay heads up. Purchased Volume #3 and #4. A bit disappointing that they have the same DVD, but still love it. Some odd things about the Seller, but good feedback so it should be fine. Firstly they show Volume #2, #3, & #4 for sale, but I could only purchase #3 & #4, so they must be sold out of #2 - as they are of #1. I noticed in their feedback they sold several #1s.

Second I always look at Seller's Other items. Well it only showed they had 38 items for sale and these volumes were not something they had for sale. My guess is there was a glitch because I am in the U.S. I guess time will tell. Thanks for coming through again Springer!

 

[Springer]

I'll keep an eye out for issues 1 and 2, and let both of you know if I see any!

@Looney oh gosh I'd love to get that Pak'ma'ra too. Or a Zathras figure. Or for that matter another entire wave of figures – Sinclair, Zathras, Zack, Talia, Na'Toth. In the meantime I'm just going to have to hope I win the lottery so I can buy the Shadow Sentient figure.

 

[Looney]

I do have a loose and a sealed Shadow Sentient.

Where's the envy emoji for me to use?! I was at school and university when these figures were all coming out so I didn't have money to buy any of them, I have to resort to eBay now. Most of the B5 stuff that I got as a kid I did so by saving up money for the annual pilgrimage to a convention. The main exceptions being the first four Micro Machines sets that I found at a local toy shop (and I think I was the only one buying them, one set every week) and some of the trading cards and CCG that would pop up in the local computer games shop of all places. I think the action figures were found over here in specialist comic shops and I didn't have one near me, though I did manage to snag one of the 9-inch G'Kar figures while at uni.

 

[Looney]

Oh yeah, I was just finishing college when the figures started coming out. I did not get my Shadow Sentient figures when they were released. Jan did you sell me the loose one? I'm trying to remember how I acquired it and my memory keeps poking me and telling me there was more of a story than just buying it on ebay. I don't recall where I got the sealed one, but it might have been in a collectibles shop. OMG getting old sucks!!!!!! I do remember paying handsomely.

I've only ever had a sealed one and as I recall, I got it and then sold it not too long after but I don't recall who? Pretty sure it was over Ebay.

 

[Looney]

Maybe it was me Jan. Maybe it was me. . But I don’t think so. I think I walked into a random collectibles shop at some point and they had a sealed one.

 

[Jan]

Wait'll you folks see what I just bought last night!!

 

[Looney]

Ummmm what Jan?! And I am super curious because I was on eBay that night. Was it purchased through the Bay of E? ..... And my guess is Peter Jurasik. You've purchased Peter Jurasik.

Speaking of Peter. There is a small toy shop near my home. I know the owner and he is a HUGE autograph hound - like thousands of autographs that he travels the country year round hunting down the individuals. He has been in that game so long that he started booking appearances for celebrities as well, so he also sets up signing events everywhere including his store. Well I'm always trying to get him to bring Babylon 5 people in though I'm likely one of only five people in a fifty mile radius who would show up for anyone other than Boxleitner. It is a small rural area and as such the signing fees are usually VERY steep, so the events rarely draw big crowds. Anyway I saw this friend the other day and he asked me if I'd like Peter Jurasik to come to town? I thought he was joking, but as he proceeded I could tell he was not. This will not likely ever happen, but it was nice to see he had taken me seriously. I'm guessing he saw an opportunity to set something up with Peter and it reminded him I'm always asking about Babylon 5 people so he thought he would mention it to me. THE END

But I will keep you posted in case he does book a B5 related personality so you can all come for a visit.

Wow, was Peter for sale on Ebay and I missed it??

Oh, good! It's your turn to buy dinner!

The purple jewel was a decoration on the belt Delenn wore when she wore the purple overdress. The other was a part of the Seal of the Centauri Emperor so it's a good bet that Peter at least touched it at some point.

 

[Looney]

WOW! As usual super jealous! Were those on eBay? OMG!!!!

Fantastic, I did see them on eBay and kept my eye on them to see what they went for. I get the impression they will have more items for sale in the future?

Very likely. The items I bought were post-Ebay, as production makes more than one of...pretty much everything so I was able to get a second chance. I just got my package today and I'm delighted with everything from speed to packing and the items themselves.

 

[Looney]

"Post-eBay"? What do you mean by this?

 

[Jan]

Like a second chance offer but without the Ebay part. As it happens, we'd been in touch via Facebook and were able to make a deal. In fact, in a few days, I think I'll be able to share a website that will feature a lot of Very Cool things. Stay tuned...

 

[Looney]

Don't do that Jan!!!! I am broke!!!!

WOW that might be the fast response ever. According to my interface you just posted 2mins ago.

 

[Jan]

Sorry, Looney! But window shopping can be fun, too.

Folks, over the years there've been sales of B5 stuff but I always came too late or, like Looney, didn't have the funds. Here's a seller who (as you can see above), I've bought some things from and been *very* happy with the entire experience. There are things here for almost any pocketbook:

The Grey Council Staff (!!!!!!

)
Abbut's (the Vicker) necklace
Talia's earrings
Background Psi Corps badges (why, yes, I snagged one!

)
Lenonn's belt buckle and Minbari-only Ranger badge
Adira's bracelets
Delenn's engagement ring (!!!!!!!!

)
Emperor Cartagia's hanky

!


Babylon 5 — Wookie Designs Movie Memorabilia and Television Memorabilia — Wookie Designs

And the seller has said there will be more added. Even if you can't buy, it's a LOT of fun to look at all these things and the screenshots the seller has posted.

Note that US shipping is included in the price. You may want to contact the seller to see if some payment methods might get you a bit of a break.

Good luck and have fun!
Jan

A while back there was a discussion about What Was In The Triluminaries, and am not sure if what is in the center of a Grey Council Staff counts or not. But as one of those is up for sale, there is a close up of the center of the Staff. Appears larger than what Sinclair would have used as part of his link.
...trying to attach a picture, but it keeps vanishing. Will try a smaller image in another post...

FYI on the selling page for the Staff:

...so far as close-ups go, this is better than trying to catch it on screen.
