Revenge of the Sith / Re: #65 Tactical Ops Trooper (501st)
« on: November 16, 2005, 07:12 PM »
WRT the final five I've found 2 things at retail: Jack and SH*T!  I'm using Zen Master dicipline to force myself to wait until I see the R4-P17 at retail OR someone offers a trade  ;)  I have lots of extra HALO figures.

Got 2 Tac Ops Trooper in the mail from Amazon.com today but I'm struggling with the R4-P17.  Should I wait until I (IF I) find it at retail or should I get 2 from Amazon.com.  I have ZERO faith that I'll find the Tac Ops Troopers at retail so I'm glad I used Amazon.com but for R4?  Is it that popular or what?  Can't find any trace of the final 5 in the DC area...  I guess I'm at work too much or something...

Revenge of the Sith / Re: #65 vs. JTA #6
« on: November 14, 2005, 12:20 PM »
#41 rocks!  I have 2 of the JTA packs (so 6 of the clones) and 2 of the #65 on the way via Amazon.com.  I'm going to have a couple of commanders 1 w/ and 1 w/o helmet on.  I like #41 so much I'm starting to buy them up just so I can customize them.  I have the worst luck w/ finding these repaints that are carded.  I NEVER found a Shock Trooper at retail :'( and had to get my only one via Ebay...much easier to just paint my own.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: ROTS Gunship - Where the hell is it?!
« on: November 14, 2005, 12:17 PM »
It's not all bad.  I think the ROTS Gunship has a lower price point than previous versions.   I seem to recall these going for ~$40 during AOTC and now they are ~$30.

Amazing!!!  I need to take a vacation just to look at all of them! WoW! :o

96
Forgive my ignorance but what is "J+R Productions"?  I'm really diggin those figures and I've always wanted a Master Chief to scale with my SW guys!  Awesome job!

Thanks for the comments!  Has anyone found a solid website with reference pics? I still pick up the "cheat" guide to some Star Wars games at Target to see the examples of Clone Troopers in the "characters" section.  The only reason I ask is because I have a few extra white clones just waiting to be customized...  I could make more Utapau troops but I'd rather pick from a variety 1st...

Thanks for the link Ook!  Got 2 of the Tac Ops Troopers via Amazon.com!  There has been no sign of them at retail around the DC area.  I almost ordered the R4 but I'd like to leave the rest for the thrill of the chase.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: ROTS Pegwarmers?
« on: November 12, 2005, 11:46 AM »
WRT the "final 5" which is hardest to get besides the Tack Ops Trooper?  Oh, and worst pegwarmer of all is the 500th Vader!  Man will it ever go on sale?!?!  Every store has tons of them!

The AT-TE Gunner sculpt works fairly well.  The SA Clone's legs don't bend enough to really fit well:


101
OK, I saw the Utapau Trooper in the "New Saga" Geonosis wave and I was excited and slightly annoyed.  I thought, "That's easy!" so I went to Target, got a couple of SA troopers (one to customize and one for the stockpile  ;))


I'm showing some Halo action in this one:


Here he is guarded by my slightly updated Galactic Marines:

102
Why yes it is an ODST.  He is standing next to a Teal Master Chief.  I like the Halo figures!   I have all of the colors of Master Chief from the 1st Halo.

I think I'm going to start with cutting off the chest insignia and...heck they came in a pack of 6 so I can go wild experimenting.  I'll play around with letting other star wars guys try on their helmets too!

Star Wars Action Figures / Re: My Custom Clones
« on: November 11, 2005, 09:22 AM »
!WORK IN PROGRESS!

I thought I'd make a version of this mini-figure (an Elite Clonetrooper I think) which looks cool to me:



P.S. How do you change the title of this thread to "UPDATED on MM/DD/YY"???

Star Wars Action Figures / Re: My Custom Clones

Updated an old Darktrooper custom:  (he is next to an unmodified Darktrooper for comparison). 
--In the background you can see a custom weathered Red Commander and custom CDR Bly as well (with a real Bly by the AT-RT)--



Here are some droids I made a while back:


P.S. Sorry about the pic quality.  I don't have any photography skills...

105
Here are the Crimson Shadow Guards that have been "De-Joe'ed".

One of my Utapau Shadow Troopers is leading them around...

I couldn't think of anything else to do to them to customize.  Any ideas?
