Those EV-9D9's are very fragile like Bill mentioned, don't think there is a thing you can oo unless you like super glue.  :P

Might just be better off to get one complete & hope like hell the arms don't fall off.  :-\

Thanks, Corran, Dale. I'll give it a try when it comes and see what happens.

Update: it came today, and the boil and pop worked perfectly. I boiled one for about 15 minutes and the arm slid right out and into the old one. I think boiling it for an extra long time helped out - if anyone ever tries this, go carefully, but it is possible. I have seen the promiseland.

It will be a while until I can post good pics, but I acquired five more ESB carded figures:

Imperial Stormtrooper Hoth Battle Gear
Imperial Commander
Bossk
IG-88
Han Solo Hoth

They are in pretty nice, though clearly not immaculate condition.  I already have 4-LOM and Zuckuss, so that's four of the six bounty hunters carded now.  I have a line on Dengar so that can only mean I have to start considering Fett now.   :-\

Good luck with that Brent.  I don't think I ever had a carded Bossk, Boba Fett or Dengar.  IIRC Dengar came with the Sears Bespin set, and I received the other two through their mail-away programs.

I dug through my email and found some small pictures of the figures I received.  Couldn't find the IG-88 photo though, so can't post it for now.  I'll post better shots down the road.














And because the picture of the Dengar I'm trying to get was with the others, I'll show it here too:


Not really as nice as the others with the yellowing bubble, but otherwise very nice unpunched card.

So I got my Dungeon set...



This is absolutely the best, most giddy SW purchase I have ever made.  The figures are in flawless condition - never out of their bags - and so is the rest.  The box has some wear, but I cannot complain.  I owned this set as a child.  I got it for Christmas in '84, and lost it piece by piece along the way.  It was always one of my favorite pieces, and it's a great treat to have it complete once more.  I'll have some more detailed pics soon, and hopefully a pic of me with my original set back in the day.   :)

(instructions and stickers are inside the box - pics to come)
