There are mornings when you’re not dressed yet (perhaps you’ve enjoying a lazy weekend and are lazy around to shoot some zombies on the console) when the parcel delivery man rings. What do you do?

Star Wars: Cute Bantha statue comes with free Tusken Raider
Okay, I might be calling this post “Bantha statue” and suggesting it comes with a free “Tusken Raider” but I think you can clearly see it’s a statue of a Tusken Raider riding on a Bantha.
