Volume 14 is now available for order @ http://www.babylon5scripts.com/

The scripts included are “The Wheel of Fire”, “Objects in Motion”, “Objects at Rest”, and “In The Beginning”

You’ll also get a replica of the highlights of J. Michael Straczynski’s Producer’s Notebook for “In the Beginning. Volume 14 is also packed with other goodies, including the opening narration credit voice-over scripts, more exclusive photos and an appendix for the script books, and much more.

Short of having JMS visit your home, and explaining how it all happened, you won’t find a better resource.

Production of the script books is due to end in May, so please don’t hesitate any longer.

Special Reminder:

JMS will be personally signing every copy of Volume 15.

The only way to get volume 15 is if you purchase all 14 books. You must purchase volumes 1-13 plus buy 14 to get volume 15 and if you haven’t bought them from Cafe Press you need to pay the “reasonable” price of $562.06.

Volume 15 will also include the Babylon 5 writer’s bible, a breakdown of the entire 5 year story arc, with Sinclair, a detailed analysis of cut and altered scenes between the scripts and the episodes.

Thanks to Gary from Jacksonville for letting us know about this!

Since we mentioned B5 MicroMachines, and how some sets are more collectible than others, a few have asked “How do you know what they’re worth?”

Honestly, I just remembered that some were harder to find than others, and that their value on the collector market was priced accordingly.

There used to be a really cool online price guide for B5 Collectibles, but like many other online sites devoted to B5, it has faded. The guide hasn’t been updated since 2003, and the trading whiteboard is now a clearing house for spam comments.

Does anyone think a price guide is worth keeping anymore, since eBay is usually a pretty good indicator of the going rates? I think a comprehensive list of toys and the like might be kinda cool.

And does anyone interested in a German B5 poster? I bought one years ago, and I have never been able to hang it anywhere…

I love Brad Bowyer, really I do. In addition to being the driving force behind PodCulture, he’s also helped us out a great deal by editing this podcast, and Kick-Ass Mystic Ninjas.

He and Christina sent some gifts here to the Draco Vista Studio for Joe when he was sick. He’s also sent me some pretty cool stuff over the past couple of years, including an Andreas Katsulas autographed photo, and buying me a copy of The Lost Tales that had the mini comic in it.

I’m certain all of the good karma he’s built up has led to today’s treasure find.

I love ya, Brad, but right now, I’m so envious… I never could find the standalone MicroMachines station, either. I wonder if one of the Atomic Comics around here has old toys just lying around.

Okay, first of all, let me apologize for not checking one certain email account on a regular basis. Because this is the spam-infested account that also receives notices from CafePress regarding the Babylon 5 script books.

Why am I apologizing for this? Well, apparently those good folks are running a lottery to win one of 50 prints of the Declaration of Principles, signed by the Great Maker himself. The kicker is that you must register online no later than April 16 - this coming Monday. Here are a few details:

To be in the running for the chance to get a print, just go to www.DeclarationOfPrinciples.com and provide your contact information. The form will be available through Monday, April 16.

On Tuesday, April 17 we are going to RANDOMLY draw 50 names using special randomizing software so that everyone has an equal chance. We will then contact the “winners” by email and they will have 48 hours to place their order. Prints will be fulfilled in the exact order that people RSVP and will begin with number 451 through 500.

There are only 2 conditions.

(1) You put your name in only once;
(2) You do not already own a Declaration of Principles print.

Sorry for the late notice, folks.

Thomas in Flagstaff emails us with heads-up about a post he came across today at BoingBoing.net:

Metal armour stiletto heels from Babylon 5 by Sword & Stone

They were crafted by Tony Swatton, and Sword & Stone can produce replicas for fans to purchase (6-10 week turnaround, $3000-5000 cost). Also, anyone heading to Comic-Con next weekend can check out their booth.

So, my obvious question is: which episode were these shoes featured in? Honestly, what episode? Tim and I are currently stumped…

Whoa… the shoes have spurs. I don’t wear heels, being a taller gal, but dude… spurs. Who in the B5 ‘verse is a spurs kinda gal?

update, 8:45am: I’m not convinced yet that these were in B5. The shoes aren’t listed in the show credits on their website, but the armor and weapons from “Grail” and the Centauri blades are listed. There aren’t any show or film credits listed for the shoes, and the only B5 reference is in the BoingBoing post. But I’m still willing to be surprised.
