Collector's Tips / Re: fig care-hairspray
« on: April 3, 2005, 04:05 PM »
No it actually almost looks like it reacts with the plastic and gives it a fine sandpaper type of coarse finish.  Hard to explain, becasue other cases I cleaned and the hairspray actually gave the cases a very smooth glossy look, and actually seemed to get rid of light surface scratches (go figure).

Collector's Tips / Re: Hanging Ships

Has anyone here ended up hanging any of their vehicles/ships from the ceiling?  I have always displayed mine on shelves, but I've been considering trying the hanging option.  I'm starting to get tight with space (conserving an area for ROTS stuff), and would like to keep my ships out and on display....but if they were off of a shelf and hanging above, it would really help out.  Anyways, I was just wondering if any of you have (or are considering) ended up hanging ships, and how you felt about it.  Also, what do you use to hang them (fishing line?) and to bolt/screw/attach them to the ceiling.  Thanks for any advice you might have.

I have a pic or two over at www.photobucket.com enter: bobafett14 for album.

In one pic  you'll see the vinatge Falcon and TIE hanging from one of my ceilings.  I used a strong fishing line, and a hook that I screwed into the ceiling.  Works well.  The falcon usually takes a little practice to get it to hang right.

Hey Bobafett14...I just got three cases of Protecto-paks and they're awesome!

Also nice that they're less expensive than the Star Cases.

Will the Oscar cases hold figures like the Max Rebo Band Pairs, Princess Leia 2-packs, Shirtless Maul and other odd sized large carded figures like that?

There's a Star Case 2 (I belive is how it's listed-usually about $1.50ish)that's a little larger (actually wider than the reg. cases.  They will fit the band pairs nicely and also figs like POTJ amanaman and Maul vs. droid perfectly.

I also use them for my animated clone 3 packs(the 3 packs and anything that size are actually a little smaller than the cases, but I actually put the fgis in the case so that 2 of the sides usually bottom and one side are "clamped" by the case holding it in place.  It's not perfect, but works nicely.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: 2005 RotS Figures Release List
« on: April 1, 2005, 01:22 PM »
Found more ROTS today (only hours before April 2)

12" Greivous, Anakin ultimate villain, Emperor, and clone
all figs up to #32, palmtalkers-passed, yoda interactive-passed(he's big), lego passed.

The 12" Anakin is freaky awesome.  2 sabers, red/blue, 2 different hilts.
Greivous is nice, but the 4 saber hilts are jsut a dull greay, still a nice fig.  Emperor comes with the hood down and a great head sculpt.

OK, back in oh, about 1994ish I tied to log onto a SW site as bobafett whcih was taken, after a few combos were all rejected (taken) I figured I'd use "bobafett" and the number I wore while playing ball in high school and college "14".

Count it ;^)  Also previews recently had the ROTS cover as well.


Typically I try to grab any magazine I can that has a dedicated SW cover to it. (and occationally I'll grab even if the cover isn;t SW but has a decent size SW related article)

Also, just nabbed the Non-Sports Update (non sports card indusrty mag.  It has the Topps Vader ROTS cover on it, and a pretty nice article on the ROTS card set inside.

With the ROTS novelization being released on 4/2/05, Matthew Stover being the nice guy he is, decided to stop by the Waterworks Barnes & Noble on 4/3/05 at 2PM-4PM.  and well, what do ya know...just so happens that this store is about 5min. from my house...how convenient ;^)

Anyhow, should be fun to get the novel signed the day after it's released and all.

« on: March 28, 2005, 06:10 PM »
I grabbed one a while back, and can vouch for it!

It's a great idea, and I know theres sonna be a bunch of them floating around CIII.  A little memorabillia from the show, and Besides, it's for a good cause!!!!!!!!

I like the idea of  using it to identify with each others screen name.  so don't hesitate to grab one...oh...and I know you'll like it sooo much, but please don't wear it all 4 days..bleeechhh.


(A little MAD magazine humor thrown in)

Revenge of the Sith / Re: Good Luck MOMC Collectors
« on: March 18, 2005, 04:05 PM »
One of the guys in my area group is trying to get an order of 200 cases together, it brings the cost to baout $1.29 ea. incl s&h.

and yeah, carded collectors will have a tough time with these.  the multiple corners on the cardbacks will all be dinged up instantly once they hit shelves. (which also played in to/was one of the reasons I broke down and got these early)  and if you try to stack them in boxes, I ould imagine you'll end up with a lot of bubbles with a "wear" mark right in front of the figure, due to the domed shape of the bubble vs. a flat bubble.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: Which ROTS figures have been found so far?
« on: March 13, 2005, 12:30 PM »
OOOO KKKKKKKKKKK.  ???

Can you point me to one.  All I've seen so far are the cardback and Hasbro pics, still haven't seen anyone WITH one in hand yet.

It's just strange that ALL the stores anround me don't have them on the shelves and everyone as of yesterday found all the figs EXCEPT the blue gurad.

I'm trying to figure this one out, are they out, but just not in my neck of the woods?  ??? ??? ???

WEll, of the 1st 24 I got, the only one I don't have is the blue guard (and no one else around here seems to have found that one either.

If you have a blue guard can you post a pic???????????  No ones seen it yet.

The deluxe emperor is a no go as well.
