Nothing specific just that he loves the Lego games and his mother only mentioned that he has only one of them. Someone mentioned they're getting him the Clone Wars game but it has yet to arrive.

I got the 2 seasons of Clone Wars on DVD in the mail today!



Glad you got both sets of dvd's and everything's intact.   I just realized I had not put any information about who they were from: sorry about that!  

 I hope Eli enjoys them!

Got this made, was hoping to have our group's logo on it, but it was a last min/rush job, and donated by the owner, so I can't complain... maybe our 2012 award will have it.. anyway, have a shirt coming too with our logo and his name on it too.. just wanted to do something a little different for the lil' guy. We're having our custom meet this weekend, we'll be getting Eli's package together then, hope to have some customs, misc figs, maybe a vehicle, some cash to help with shipping and couple other things.  Hope to have it out in the mail by next week. :D



whatcha think?

Here's a group shot of some of our group members at Clone Wars midnight madness, we're hoping to take an updated pic with the award and send it with too:

JOE!!!!  You're incredible, and thank you so much for what you've done!  I'm so incredibly touched by the outpouring of generosity for this young man, and I can't think of any other group of Star Wars fans I'd rather be a part of!

Daggone the Yarders are rocking this month. Ok, I won't get mushy yet.

Awesome Joe. And thank you Jules for donating your ARC!

Updated the video link above so it's no longer broken. Please watch it. It's amazing! We are truly AMAZED here at the outpouring of donations! A tauntaun sleeping bag just arrived! A family sent two huge boxes of figures and vehicles (easily over $300-$500 worth). Another box was full of loose figures--about 30-50 of them each one in sandwhich bags. This is amazing. And frankly there is a huge pile of boxes that grows daily in our living room.

On another note, we're still receiving letters telling Eli to "hang in there" "keep fighting" and "get well". Also lots of "God bless". Not sure what his faith is, but that's not important. I know these people mean nothing but the best of intentions. But when I was six all I wanted to do was play and be with my friends and my family. I know none of us here at the Yards are sending that kind of stuff (anymore hehe) but I figured I'd mention it.

However i did receive probably the sweetest letter ever. It was written by a young child around Eli's age. So glad other young collectors are picking out things to donate too!
