Found a dead-mint Transformers G1 Grimlock sword in my sword box today and added it to my Haves as it does not fit the design aesthetics of the Star Wars Universe. If any Transformers G1 collectors out there are missing this popular character's weapon, shoot me a trade offer and it's yours

I am currently customzing the one Spectre I have found into a "H.I.S.S." (Hover Interceptor Speeder Sentry) for my "Brotherhood Of The Serpent" Star Wars/Cobra crossover!

Star Wars Action Figures / Re: CHEWIE's CUSTOMS - updated Friday 12.30.05

Very nice looking Tonnika Sisters. I have always held ff on making these two ladies and will continue to do so as I'm sure Hasbro will get around to them eventually. It may take until the license is up in 2018, but I'm a very patient man
Your foamcore set is quite impressive and very versatile as you can set it up in a number of different configurations. Nice job.

Star Wars Action Figures / Re: BocrebJedi's Customs
« on: December 31, 2005, 02:43 AM »
Dollar Tree, but they only seem to have them in the Spring. They have the Pirates now though as they just came out. In the spring you can usually find the Ninjas (which the Trando uses the chest, waist, and upper arms from), cops, soldiers, construction workers, firefighters, and even the occasional spacesuit guys.
If you have a Big Lots near you, hit them as they carry a wide range of Chap Mei (the company that manufactures these lines) product including vehicles and playsets.
I actually have a pair of shritless Trandoshan mercs awaiting painting.

Episode 1 / Re: Queen Amidala Battle with Ascension Gun
« on: December 31, 2005, 12:29 AM »
I snagged one of these (as well as a Holo Sidious, 4 sets of Pit Droid 2pks, and a pair of the Naboo Troopers from this wave) for $1 each at a comic book store. I wqas in the back looking at the action figures when the guy behind the counter was having a screaming match with his boss on the phone (and apparantly losing). After he hung up, he came over to me and the other customer in the store at the time and told us we could have anything we wanted on the wall for $1 each as he was quitting in an hour! I cleaned out the aforementioned figures as well as as many of the other Star Wars as my wallet would allow (I scored almost 40 figures1)
Seeing as how much she's going for now, I kinda feel bad that I used her for as (as of yet uncompleted) custom

Episode 1 / Re: Wave 2 accessory sets
« on: December 31, 2005, 12:23 AM »
I found an unopened case of them in an aisle of the Valley Fair department store on a Wednesday and opened it up. I helped myself to 3 Pod Race Refuel sets, a Tattooine Disguise set, and a Hyperdrive Repair set. I passed on the Rappel Attack set as it looked crappy. I returned on Friday when I got paid again to get the rest of the Tattoine Disguise and Hyperdrive Repair sets but they were all sold out. I never saw them again at retail

Power of the Force 2 / Re: Odd Wal-Mart finds
« on: December 31, 2005, 12:12 AM »
The only Walmarts here n my neck of the woods were built in 2003 and 2005 so they don't have any old POTF2 stuff in their stockrooms, but there is a Rite Aid in Ridgefield Park that still has 4 POTF2 Ugnauts 2pks and 3 8-D8s hanging on the pegs priced at $8.99 each (if they were a buck or 2 I'd snag them myself ).

Power of the Force 2 / Re: EU Figures
« on: December 31, 2005, 12:08 AM »
I found all of them at retail. They hit all of the local toy stores in the same week and I more or less just hopped from one to another until I had all of them (and multiples of the Troopers and Sentinels). Sadly, my customizing funds were limited at the time or I would have stocked up on a few extras of each character for parts (the Clone Emperor has a cool retro-sci-fi outfit on under the removable robe and who couldn't use more female base figures?).
I have since broken down Luke and Lei for customs as I replaced them with better "default" versions of the characters (Saga Jedi Luke and a custom Leia incorporating some parts from the EU figure).
