I am justifying my ridiculous time-wasting in creating this by sharing it with you! Should anyone wish to get me something off this list, purely out of the kindness of your heart or the hope that it will appear in this blog and amuse you later, have at it.
There's a bunch of books on there. If you happen to have any that you don't want to keep, I'd be delighted with your beat-up used copy. No need to purchase anything from Amazon, that's just for convenience of list-making. Email me for my address if you don't have it.

A brief explanation of the figurines, not that they really require an explanation:
I've semi-recently gotten back into modeling with clay, displaying/playing with figurines, and creating little dioramas for my own amusement. I'd like to create some based on favorite fandoms, and also on some of my own books.
My skills at animals and organic/simple objects are about a million times better than my skills at people and mechanical objects. So I want to combine purchased figurines at 6" scale with things I made to create little dioramas and photograph them to create stories - comic books for people who can't draw, basically. Since my own books don't have figurines and most of the fandoms I'm interested don't either, I will be substituting.
For instance, I'm thinking of doing some Dark Tower scenes, using Carl from Walking Dead as Jake Chambers.
I made a lobstrosity (shown with a demon pig-seal, I mean Church from Pet Sematary):
Trinity eating some gunslinger burritos:
Cut for a bunch more images:
I am very open to suggestions for Roland, Eddie, and Susannah. (For the purpose of this, and wow I never thought this was a sentence I'd type... I don't want Idris Elba. Though I could use him for The Change) I need a middle-aged or older white man in western clothes, a young brown-haired white man in contemporary or vaguely western clothes, and a black woman with no legs also in contemporary or vaguely western clothes. So far this is the closest I've gotten:
(If I could get her legs off).
(the irony!)
I am also looking for characters for my Change books. It turns out that the best source for figurines of characters of color in timeless/contemporary/western clothes are Star Wars and The Walking Dead.
Please suggest figurines! Live-action only (not cartoon or anime).
I am looking for a handsome Latino guy with longish hair and a scruffy look, a pretty girl who's not clearly white (character is multiracial) with any color hair in a vaguely old-fashioned dress, an Asian girl in pants, a chubby Latina girl in colorful clothes, a handsome Japanese guy with long hair, and more. Many more.
Any figurines of people of color with western/timeless clothes would probably have a counterpart in The Change - it's got a very big cast. Firefly, The Walking Dead, Star Wars when it's not clearly futuristic, and any western would have the right clothes style. 6" scale, but 5" or 7" would be OK.

If you want other Suzanne Vega CDs, I think K might have some in the to-donate box in the closet. Pretty sure we don't have that specific one, though.

Wish I could help you out on the figurines--but alas, outside my knowledge zone.

I would however very much rec A Paradise Built In Hell. I think you'd enjoy it a lot too.
