Indeed, that pic is proof enough why the efforts are all worth it.

Thanks so much for the picture, it does indeed say 1000 words. I bet he was blown away when he started opening boxes and all of this came out. Great job to everyone who has donated and to you AFE for heading up this toy drive.

To see that smile on Eli's face - Priceless!

You're very welcome... thought really I'm just the messenger here. Simply R2-D2 playing Eli's message on my holo-projector hehe. Yeah that's definitely my new favorite picture. He's got that Naboo fighter cradled under his arm... I bet he might even sleep with it now as little kids do with some favorite toys.

So i've talked with his mom and we've settled on some new games because he has a PSP already. I'm thinking some lego star wars games, battle front 2, and battle front renegade squadron. His mom says he loves the lego games! These would be excellent for his upcoming stay in the hospital!

Just received The Ultimate Clone Wars Battle pack with Slave 1 and five figures, a rocket firing boba fett, and a hallmark keepsake Greedo from the Editor of Action Figure Times! Thank you Glenn/Umpire! Really an incredible gift to Eli!!!

That pic honestly brought a tear to my eye(okay, more than one)... I love how the collecting community can come together in a time like this.

Did anyone ever make  a custom for him? I remember it being mentioned in the beginning... Anyone have a spare lil' Boba figure, that or the Jedi Anni figure might be a good base. If someone's making one, update us, if not I'll dig around and see what I have.

Clone Sniper donated one of his custom clones, Sprywalker is making a young tatooine eli and a go-cart speeder custom, I believe Sith Happens is making a custom or two, Elias and Darth Daddy are making some customs... any customs you want to do are welcome and I guarantee you no two customs will be alike!

That being said, that aura sing looks amazing Darth Daddy!!! Really awesome!

Awesome, I sent the owner of TNI a link and he's gonna have it posted on their SW JediInsider section, also sent a message to one of the owners of Rebelscum, not sure if htey posted about it or not, but hopefully they spread the word.  Gonna give a shout out to a couple more places I visit, hoping to get the word out there... oh, and placed a hefty bid on R2-KT and if I win, I want it sent to Eli, ;)
