Are these good? I've been debating getting the first one.

I honestly think they're great, as the books go quite in depth with how the movies were made. The entire process, including how it was funded, how they went about hiring actors, how they came up with the designs, etc. are all in the books.

For me, I grew up immersing myself with learning about all of the behind the scenes stuff, dragged my parents to a Lucasfilm museum exhibit for both Star Wars and Indiana Jones when I was 12 and spent my Christmas money on a 4-disc boxed set of the Original Trilogy's soundtrack when I was 13. So these books are a dream come true for me.

I just recently read them all myself. I started off reading Michael Kaminski's The Secret History of Star Wars which is a really dishy, behind the scenes dirt style "making of" that covers all 6 of the Star Wars movies Lucas was involved with. Then I moved on and read all 3 of JW Rinzler's Making of books in order and, by the time I was done, I had a new, deeper appreciation for all 3 movies. All that reading also helped me realize that I mostly don't care about the prequels and that that's OK and it also helped to make Star Wars not just my favorite of the Original Trilogy movies but also my favorite movie of all time. I could seriously watch that movie, any time. Dawn of the Dead is now forever at #2.

Got the GTX980 from the first page, along with a new SSD, and thought F it, gonna get a better case to put them in. So, here's after moving majority of my parts to the 750D with the new GPU and SSD. Think I did a fine cabling job!

Was invited by my cousin's family to go to their Vegas home and go stay at the Strip for New Years. Got these at the Outlets.

Loving these crewnecks. I paid full price for Totoro but I got the LoZ crewneck for $20 and the LoZ shirt for free. Btw, Windwaker is my favorite.
 
These were my very last purchase of 2015 (I placed an order for these on New Year's Eve while at dinner) and have just arrived. I rarely ever get collaboration sneakers, but I really wanted these. Presenting End. x Saucony Grid 9000s 'White Noise'

First of all, it arrived in a giant box:

Next, here's the actual shoe box, which is made out of plexiglass (I kid you not), and the shoes inside:

Finally, the sneakers up close.:

Razer Blackwidow Chroma tournament edition (without the numpads). Love it, the keys are very tactile and the keyboard is very compact, not like I use the numpad much anyways. Goes well with my Mamba chroma as well =)

I haven't built a computer since 2011...are case builders standing up SSDs vertically a new thing or is that some adapter that allows you to do that?

The second item was more personal and cute, as someone I know (who isn't even much of a gamer...yet), knew I liked Final Fantasy so she made these out of clay from scratch, so that was nice :) (They were supposed to be for a tree decoration, but will keep hold of them).

For less than $200AUD ( i got x2 16gig memory cards, 1 screen protector, 1 Vita case, a Vita 1000 3G model and a PSTV. The same thing brand new at recommend retail prices would of cost me between $400-500AUD all up!

I was holding off on pictures until everything came in. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time blu-ray from KimchiDVD finally arrived today so everything is present and accounted for.

The only thing I'm bummed out about is the lack of a slipcover for When Marnie Was There. Thanks, Target. They've been 3 for 3 for issues when it comes to buying DVDs/blu-rays. I would've picked it up at Rightstuf or in a store if I didn't have a Target gift card.
