This whole thing started when I found the 1/2" Amethyst point in the bottom right corner. It is so amazingly tiny that when I saw it, I knew that it needed to be part of my rock collection! If you would like to make your own crazy mini rock collection and shelf, come in to Schaefer's and we will be happy to get you a list of supplies and any insight you need.

Of all the space ships featured in Star Wars, I think this is my favorite. Not necessarily because many great characters are connected to it but because it is the only ship to do the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. Get the kids interested in building with one of these Skill Level 2 Models and watch them go!

Does anyone else remember these?? I remember sitting at the kitchen table with my Mom, circa 1976, concentrating on placing the tiny plastic gems in the correct spaces. It felt like magic when Mom pulled them out of the oven and they had become "glass". What a fun experience to share with your little ones!
