Hey Star Wars fans in the UK, you’re going to want to check these out this October.

Royal Mail have released the images of their Star Wars stamps which arrive  on 20 October,  illustrated by British artist Malcolm Tween.

There will be 18 stamps altogether and will be available in a rather tasty little collector’s book, featuring classic character as well as The Force Awakens’ Rey, Finn and Kylo Ren. Oh and there’s some very cool ships in there too.

Want? Want.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
