SGA/SG1 characters now on US Postage Stamps

[wraithfodder]

Yup, Creation Con has glommed on to another market. They've converted Stargate into U.S. postage stamps (real ones - you can actually do this at some websites and put pictures of your pets, etc. on a stamp).

Anyway, link is http://www.creationent.com/sg1/index2.htm

$12.95 for one set of

SGA cast
SG1 cast (10th season)
Sam Carter
Daniel Jackson

These are real 41 cent stamps you can use.... 10 stamps per page (which comes out to $1.29 per stamp, not including, uh, postage) Or you can go to the post office in late May and get the STAR WARS stamps at 41 cents each, no postage ;)

I sorta wondered who thought up the stamps. I mean, lost opportunities. Okay, ten stamps. This is what I would have done:

SGA: Sheppard, McKay, Weir, Teyla, Ronon, Ford, Caldwell, Wraith, Zelenka, Lorne

SG1: Jack, Sam, Daniel, Teal'c, Hammond, Mitchell, Vala, Jonas, Landry, Thor

As for the one character per stamp set... just Carter and Daniel (not that I'm griping about Daniel), but what equal opportunity time for Sheppard? or McKay? Do the folks who did this realize how many fans want to lick those characters? Ahem, cough cough.

What would you have chosen?

I think they would have been better if they had been different characters on each stamp. Hopefully they will make further sheets with single characters at some point - however, when Sheppard ones come out (hopefully), I won't be licking them, tempting as that is... :oP

That said, it didn't stop me impulsively bagging one of the 100 sheets of SGA ones...

...as if postage wasn't expensive enough, and they essentially triple the price? No thanks. :P

No doubt about the price for personal use but I'll pick a couple up-definetly make for a nice one off gift for another fan at the office who I owe lunch-judging by their appetite I may come out ahead.

$1.29 for a 41 cent stamp!? Utterly ridiculous. No thank you.

That's really silly. Must have gotten the idea from me. *coughs*

Beckett?

I have to confess to buying the New Zealand LOTR stamps, but those were official and cost nothing over and above their "value" other than postage--which was cheap.

I think I'm going to take some fan art I've made and go to the usps.com website and have them made myself. it's cool that they've jumped on the custom stamps thingy though :)
