Modern Classifieds / Need: Loose TAC Darth Revan- Have: Cash
« on: October 15, 2008, 06:21 PM »
I'm in desperate need of an extra loose/carded TAC Darth Revan. I don't need the coin but I need the rest of the figure to be complete. If anyone can help me out please let me know.

I don't have a whole lot to trade with but here's my trade/classifieds thread. I'll gladly pay cold hard cash too. Thanks! :)

Modern Classifieds / OTC Millenium Falcon For Sale
« on: May 12, 2008, 09:09 AM »
I'm not sure if anyone is interested with the new Falcon coming out this summer but I'm putting up my OTC Millenium Falcon up for sale. I need to make some room in case I do end up buying the new one. I'm asking $30 plus actual shipping, but I'm open to offers. The Falcon is complete and I still have the original box and I should have the manual as well. PM me if you are interested.  :)

The Legacy Collection / Wal-Mart Green Leader A-Wing Starfighter
« on: February 16, 2008, 03:59 PM »
As noted on the front page word has come in from Jeff that we can expect to see a Wal-Mart exclusive A-Wing on the shelves this year. I'm pretty excited for this myself. The A-Wing has become one of my favorite fighters lately. I'm really happy with the green SAGA version, and even the POTF2 version still holds it own. I'd be happy to add yet another one to my fleet. We should have some pictures a little later today. :)

Feedback / Ghost of QG's (pka Qui-George) feedback

I have the pleasure of kicking this thread off for George on a positive note. I just completed a great transaction with George. I needed the astromech from the CW ARC pilots BP. I paid George for one and he kindly sent an extra as well. Communication was prompt, polite, and informative. I couldn't have asked for a better deal. I highly recommend George. Thanks again! :)

From our Comic Con 2007 Coverage:



I find myself oddly excited by this particualr BP. I really don't know why either, there isn't really a whole lot there that is new, and I have most of the figures there. BUT for some reason I'm actually going to be picking that one up. I don't have a Bespin Gown Leia loose, so I'll take that one. Fett is just meh. I think it is kind of cool they included an open hand for Vader there. Han actually looks to be a rehash, it almost looks as if he has ball jointed elbows and shoulders. The Chewie however is what really makes me want this set. I don't have a loose VOTC Chewie, so this is a good chance to get one. Technically the one in this set should be the EB version, but I already have 3 of those so I'm fine with the ROTJ styled hair. The little bar glasses are a nice little extra there. Hasbro should be including little diorama type extras in all the battlepacks to add to the value of sets. What are everyone else's thoughts on this set?

Modern Trading / McFetts for other McQuarries
« on: June 21, 2007, 09:36 PM »
I have two extra McFetts I'd like to trade for either McChewies or McTroopers. Both are failry nice and minty fresh. Though I dropped one getting out of my car today and it has a slight ding (the black finish on the front tore off slighty, it is just a pin size tear though). Just a 1-for-1 swap is fine with me. I need at least two McChewies and may need some troopers as well. Send me a PM if you are interested. :)

With only 22 days until setup day (boy that came up out of nowhere...) I think it is time we start to publically discuss our setup (and takedown) strategy.

First off who exactly is our crew? I know we have:

Myself
Phruby
Anton
Famine

Is anyone else going to be availible or is four people going to be enough anyways? I'm thinking we don't want to many cooks in the kitchen or we are going to be bumping into each otther and will lose a lot of effieciency. I think 5-6 is about the maximum number of people we would need. Short of the transport crew which brings me to my next point...

How do we get everything from Point A (Phruby's Place) to Point B (The Convention Center) in as few trips as humanly possible? I think Paul said he can borrow a friend's truck but I have a feeling to all of this is going to fit in one truckload as there are some might big packages. I won't have car access, so we are out on this one, and it is up to Paul and Anthony to get everything to the center. Maybe if you guys had any other local buddies willing to do a favor for you, you guys could make it a caravan? I don't see how moving everything from the cars to thhe booth area will be much of a problem, we have a few strapping young lads to carry all the heavy goods and I'd imagine there is a loading dock near by to the Fan Hall.

I've got a list of all the supplies I can forsee us needing at setup. If anyone wants to add to this feel free.

Woodland Scenics Products

  • Foliage Clusters – Dark Green
  • Coarse Turf – Medium Green
  • Fine Turf – Earth
  • Underbrush – Light Green

Other Raw Materials

  • Pre-cut Particle board for city base (I’ll get the exact measurements here soon)
  • Stone Tile for city floor (Again I’ll get the exact amount we need here soon)
  • Several good sheets of foamcore (in the event we need to throw together some buildings on the spot)
  • Any extra greeblies you think might be useful
  • Any extra materials you have left over from the wall
  • A few sheets (3-4) of black posterboard to clean up the edges with
  • A few wooden dowles maybe ¼” to ½” thick to use as a gate if we need to extend the back wall

Paints, Glues, Etc.

  • A few tubes of superglue
  • White Elmer’s Glue and/or Scenic Glue from Woodland Scenics
  • A can or two of light grey spray paint, and another can or two of stone fleck
  • A few regular bottle of Apple Barrel Acrylic paints, the cheap stuff, in Black, White, Grey, Brown, and any other colors you guys think we may need
  • Duct Tape (always got to have it just in case) ;)
  • Scotch Wall mounting pads (the little green and white squares used to mount posters and stuff on walls)
  • Toothpicks
  • Some type of Dull cote spray (I prefer Testor’s but any bigger cheap versions would be fine too)
  • A can of Spray Adhesive for any quick fixes

Hand tools

  • An assortment of paint brushes including sponge brushes
  • Several Exactos
  • A Utility Knife or two
  • Sandpaper, in several different grades
  • Safety Glasses (Safety first ;))
  • A dust rag in the event we have sawdust to clean of the tile or anything else
  • A Metal Yardstick
  • A tape measure
  • Some kind of metal T-Square or Roofing Truss Angle (Not a huge deal if you don’t have one)
  • Scissors

Power Tools

  • Dremmel with various bits
  • A few long extension cords
  • Heat gun or hair dryer if you have one (to speed up any quick fixes)
  • If you have a jigsaw and think it would be useful by all means bring it


So what are everyone else's, namely Phruby and Anton's thoughts on the matter?

Saga Collection '06 / TSC: What was the Damage?
« on: March 27, 2007, 08:53 PM »
With TSC done for the most part, and with 30AC slowly beginning to take over the pegs I thought it might be a good time to bring this up. My collecting mind has changed gears from TSC to TAC, but still I was curious to see how TSC turned out for me, both in terms of how mush I spent, and how much I actually bought. Mainly because I'm interested to see if it will have any bearing on what my TAC will look like. So what about the rest of you? Now that TSC is mostly over how did it affect the old pocketbook? Did you go over or under the amount in dollars, or figures you planned on purchasing? Or did you hit it just about right? I know I still will be making some TSC purchases over the next few years, mainly a few troopers to even out the armies, a few from the Final 22 that I never really saw, maybe finish my VTSC carded collection, and pick up any excess custom fodder as I need it, but I think for the most part I'm about done with it.

Needless to say I think I may have gone slightly overboard with TSC. I had originally planned to hit about 100 figures total before the Final 22 were announced. And as far as individual figures were concerned, I more than doubled (may have even quadrupled) the amount of Sandtroopers intended. I was planning on 24 or so, I may have even said 12 at one point, and ended up with 58. If TSC has any bearing on what my collecting habits may look like for TAC, I'm in trouble. TAC is more appealing to me than most of TSC was, and I think the damned coins are going to sucker me back into being a completist. Anyways TSC hit the wallet pretty hard, I ended up dropping some dough and came out with a whopping 227 Basic (and VTSC) figures, more than doubling my 'limit.' That comes out to about $1568 just for the basic figures, and since I got some VTSC on clearance they averaged out to about $7 a pop. Add to that the vehicles, Unleashed, all the BSG Titaniums, a Sideshow, and the other lines I dabble in, and I don't even want to know the whole total for the year. $1568 is high enough for me. :-X

Watto's Junk Yard / MOVED: Hello!
« on: February 8, 2007, 09:11 AM »

41
I'm glad there has been a spike in interest lately. But I'm going to bring this up once again, who here is actually going? I need a list of everyone who is going to be at Celebration IV FOR SURE. No wishy-washy answers. They don't help me at all. You are either 100% sure you are going, or you aren't. If we don't have enough people going we are going to need to cancel.

That being said I need a list of who is going. Tell me when you arrive, when you leave, how many days you will actually be at the convention. And how many hours you will be willing to work the booth. Don't commit to hours now that you'll want to change later. We need to make a schedule to determine whether or not we have enough people to staff a booth, before we get any farther on this project.

Here is what I have so far:
 
All five days:

-Ryan
    -Arrive Tuesday the 22nd and leave Tuesday the 29th
    -Can only work an hour a day tops
    -Can setup and take down

-Phruby

A few days:

-Brent
   -Saturday and Sunday

Not going to be able to make it:

-Chewie
-Daigo-bah
-PenDragon
-CloneCommander1
-DarthEnnis

I'd like start this off a a good note for Joe. We recently went in on a deal together for a 12" and a Unleashed Grievous. I wanted the Unleashed and he wanted the 12''. He had them both shipped to his house, but instead of making me wait for them to  be shipped to him and then out to me, he stuck his Grievous in the mail for me. Thanks again for the great trade Joe!

I just completed a good deal with Hashmanati.

Ipicked up a few loose figures from him. He packed everything up really nice and put the accessories in a seoerate zip-log baggie so they wouldn't get lost.

Thanks again. :)

I'm sure you've all already heard of this so I'll keep this short.

I've been selected to head up the team responsible for the diorama construction and design. This of course WAY too much forone person to handle alone, which is where you guys come in. I need volunteers to help design/construct the various pieces of the diorama.

I still have yet to decide how many people I'm going to need for each type of construction, i.e. City, mountains, wilderness, etc.

I've got a bunch of ideas running through my head right now, as I'm sure most of you do as well. We'll hold off on them all for now, until we know more about how much space we will have, and have some more concept sketches.

If you are interested let me know and I'll add you to the list. :)
