Here’s a detail of the sticker:

‘Star Wars Poster Box’? $55? What is this thing? I can only very vaguely recall buying it. I think it was at the closing down sale of a bookstore, and I think it was deeply discounted (to $10 or something like that).

But I never, ever opened it. It was still factory sealed, and had been that way for about 15 years. Until today. Here’s what was inside:

Holy cripes so shiny! Such a pretty, pretty silvery metallic box. I swooned a little 🙂

Here’s the back:

So it’s a lithograph collection of Doug Chiangs concept art from The Phantom Menace. Looks pretty. However I still haven’t really opened it, since the beautiful silver box is itself shrinkwrapped.

Tell me readers, should I continue opening…?
