Customizing Tips and Tricks / Looking for bubbles for custom carding

« on: August 28, 2006, 05:28 PM »

I'm looking at trying to get either old used bubbles from vintage or modern cards with similar style bubbles to the vintage line. Or a source for repro bubbles.
Can anyone point me in the right direction or do any card collectors have aload of bubbles there looking to get rid of?
I need them to be relatively cheap which is why I think repro may not be the way as I may be wrong but I'm guessing the prices are quite high?

I was just watching "That 70's show" and Eric had a "Darth Vader with rare and deadlier green lightsaber" $:-\$ . Does this actually exist as its not something I've ever heard of until then.

Hi, as some of you may know from when I post in other ares of the forum I own a comic book stlye shop in the U.K (only we don't sell comic lol).

Within the next couple of weeks I will be starting to stock the Saga figures but I'm unsure of which waves to stock. I'm probably going to be stocking 3-4 waves to start with so if you can please help me and let me know which Waves are the most popular/the best I'd be very greatful.

Vintage Kenner / How much should I expect for a complete loose collection.

« on: June 30, 2006, 12:57 PM »

Ok so i've just completed my loose vintage collection (no blue Snaggletooth though) I bough the majority in job lots etc I'd say there all around C8+ and all have weapons (around 50% repro).
I now only a couple of weeks after completing it find myself in a position where I may have to sell, the prices on a lot of figures seem to have increased since i started buying them so heres my questions if i do decide to sell:

Should I sell individually or as a whole set?
What price should i expect roughly for a complete set?

Star Wars Action Figures / Help needed, Looking for a custom Blue Snaggletooth

« on: June 3, 2006, 06:49 AM »

Ok I can't afford one of these but its the last figure I need to complete my Vintage collection. I havent gone into variations but this fiugre is too different to be classed as a varitation imo.
What I'm looking for really is someone who customizes the figure (doesnt even have to be articulated) otherwsie I'm going to have to resort to attaching a regular snaggletooth to Greedos legs which isnt really what I was looking for.
Any other suggestions for a formula for this would be appreciated also.
Thanks.

**Star Wars Action Figures / My 1:1 Scale / Lifesize Custom Projects *Project R2D2 Update 01/9**

« on: May 24, 2006, 03:35 PM »

I've decided to create a thread for my lifesize projects as I've now decided I'm going to be taking on a few.

Those of you who have seen some of my previous projects will know I recently opened a Movie Collectibles and Model kits shop.
All of my 1:1 Scale items are being made for display pieces for the shop although I am hoping to make some of the R2D2/R5D4 to sell on Ebay also.

Heres how my display looks so far:

This diplay no longer exists, my figures have took over that spot now.
Han solos been mounted on the door to the store room and yodas moved too. Bobas in the store room as theres no room for him anywhere.

My current projects
Boba Fett * Complete
R2D2 *Planning/Parts buying stage

My future Projects
R5D4
Jawa
Power Droid

Star Wars Action Figures / Now complete 1:1 scale Full Life Size Boba Fett 23/8

« on: April 16, 2006, 02:32 PM »

A bit of a strange custom but its still a custom lol.

I started with a mannequin and bought a set of Fett Armour form a guy in the U.S who makes it out of very thin steel. I then bought two sets of Grey overalls/boilersuits and found patterns for how fetts suit should look I then modified the suit using the material from the second suit to make the additions with. I then bought a vest to mount the armour onto and a neck seal. I bought a very poor helmet from Ebay which is very badly damaged, the guy sold me this as a new replica it cost me around $70!!!!
He's been reported and hopefully I'll be given a refund, I've bought a replacement helmet and once this arrives I will replace the damaged warped helmet but it will have to do for now.
Gauntlets are being delivered shortly as are the boots.
The Jetpack is almost complete I scratch built this from card and bottles and then covered it in paper and pva glue to give it strength it just needs a coat of paint now.

I'm still looking for a belt however......

Other Collectibles / 34"/3 Foot Bobble Buddies

« on: April 11, 2006, 02:09 PM »

I just got a new wholesale catalogue and in them are the usual bobble buddies except this time they have a new height 3 Foot!
The Wholesale price on them is £25 so I'd imagine you'd be looking at around £40-£50 for retail price.

I''ve ordered one of the R2d2's to see what there like.
I can't find any pics of these I'll post one when mine arrives but I did find a pic of a 3ft tall buffy one to give you an idea what there going to be like:
