I have her script from a play she did, and can confirm, she writes all over the place, making tons of notes about her character, how the character reacts to other characters, motivation, and even a backstory she invents which informs how she plays the character.

Whoever gets this B5 script is getting a treasure.

Not cheap, but this B5 cookbook seems to be priced at about what they usually go for if you can find one these days:

Many of you are familiar with the auctions I do periodically to help out folks in need. If you saw the item I posted in the Off Topic Forum about Spider Robinson's daughter having been recently diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, you won't be surprised by this post.

I just started listing items yesterday but there's some VERY cool JMS and B5 related stuff already. And if you're also a fan of Neil Gaiman's, you'll want to check out the donation he made to this effort.

If you can't bid, anything you can do to spread the word would be very much appreciated. For now, feast your eyes on these. There'll be more coming soon:

Here's something I don't think I've ever seen - the Harlequin B5 figures painted.

Nice, but they must be really small - or the photos were taken from a distance.

Interesting selection of characters too.

Yes, they are quite small - probably only about 3" or so. Somebody with a better memory might be able to chime in with details on the sets that were available? But they all came unpainted.

Oooh, now here's one I'd love to add to my collection if I could only afford it! A full Earthforce uniform!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Babylon-5-Ma...item2a244b8494

Somebody buy it for my 'museum', please? Pretty please?

Just noticed this being mentioned over on B5TV.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/221138240102...84.m1438.l2649


If it’s what I think it is (and I’m pretty sure it is), it’s being sold for less than half the $250 selling price they cost on the official fan site back in 1999.

Doubtful, but if it’s one of the signed ones (by Andreas, jms and John Vulich) then it’s considerably less than the original $1,000 price tag.

At any price it's out of my range, not being in the US .

Might have considered it otherwise.

There are always ways around that. If you knew someone in the US and there was mutual trust they could bid on it then ship it to you if successful.

EDIT: Or you could always send the buyer a messaging asking about international shipping.

That's what I'd recommend. Because of my interest in all things British, and in Lilo and Stitch (which is HUGE in Japan), I often find myself scrolling through the non-US eBay listings. Frequently, there is no information for shipping outside the seller's country. So, I'll send them a message.

In all the times I've done that, I've only had one seller come back and say they wouldn't ship it outside their country. Couldn't even tell you what it was for. I just remember that the seller was nice about it, but wasn't comfortable with doing overseas sales. No worries. All the others have done it with no problem, and I've won a majority of those auctions too.

Complete set of 15 volume scriptbooks or $650 or best offer, with shipping at less than $15.

With shipping factored in, that works out to just a little cheaper than buying them individually when they came out (not counting coupons, of course).

That's very reasonable. If I were in the USA I'd be sorely tempted.
