Other Collectibles / Re: Gentle Giant Statues
« on: June 7, 2005, 02:39 AM »
I got the Vader on Friday.  It is incredible!  I have now got a Chewbacca statue on the way in a trade. 

I am passing on the C-3PO statue since we already have a bust of him but no bust of Chewie.

Other Collectibles / C3 Sandtrooper bust distribution....thoughts?
« on: April 28, 2005, 12:41 PM »
Well C3 has come and gone.........I was wondering of those of you that went to Celebration 3 and experienced first hand the havoc that was the Gentle Giant line for their exclusive mini bust.....what did you think?

In regards how the distribution was done, what are your thoughts?

Modern Trading / Looking for C3 Hotel Key card
« on: April 26, 2005, 01:09 PM »
Hey all,

As some of you have heard, some of the bigger hotels in Indy had a collectible Celebration 3/Star Wars key card available to those staying in their hotel for C3.

Well apparently there were 4 different key cards.  You can see all 4 here:

I have an extra one of the key card on the bottom left (the card they gave us at the WestInn.  I am in need of the card on the top right....

This is the one I am missing:


If anybody can help me out I would appreciate it...before I have to resort to eBay

Clone Wars '03-'05 / Re: Possible Animated Wave 4?
« on: April 20, 2005, 07:51 AM »
Hopefully we will see something at C3....

Something nobody has mentioned is that each wave has at least one bad guy.....Wave 1 Assj...Wave 2 Dooku....Wave 3 Grievous.....Wave 4?

What bad guy could they make?  An emperor would be cool?

I think since Grievous Bodyguards were so prominent in Season 3 that these would be nice...also, can anybody say army builders?

I'm a big Star Wars badge collector.  Mostly from conventions but also misc. things like the Droid Hunt that the 501st will be having at C3.

Reading a Rebelscum report here it seems they did something like this for a previous Dragon Con.  Here is the pic of that badge:

If anybody can get their hands on one of these please let me know.

Thanks
Rod

Hands down my complete Gentle Giant mini-bust collection.

No other collectibles bring chills to my bones when I see them nicely displayed in my studio......

Also helps that these are "non-toy looking" enough that my wife allows me to display them where guests might see them.... ;) Anything toy looking I display she gives me the evil eyes....LOL

Other Collectibles / Re: Lifesize statues - new yoda
« on: April 16, 2005, 12:12 AM »
I saw this....gotta have it!!!

I have never been too excited over the lifesize.  Between the size and room I need to display them....and how much they cost once they make it to the secondary market, I have not been too interested.

but this one I will have to try hard to hunt down. 

Looks 100 times better than any previous lifesize Yoda that anybody has done before.

Other Collectibles / Re: Playskool Galactic Heroes Thread

These were one of those things that I liked but didn't want to get intoo buying another SW line.  But then I started thinking...."I gotta have some toys to pass on to my kids in the future so they don't beg for my 3 3/4" figures....."

So I started getting these.  Now I like them.....might wait till they are out of their stage of chewing their toys.

Not seen wave 2 of the ROTS anywhere here yet.

Hope the line continues for a while.

Other Collectibles / Re: Star Wars Passes
« on: April 16, 2005, 12:04 AM »
Hey JediMAC,  If you don't want that pass after the show's over let me know  ;)

I also collect the passes.  Got quite a few of them.

Got the Celebration ones from the Fan Club.  Got the Fan Club ones and when at C2, I got a set of the C2 passes with the tin.  These are real nice and like it was said here before....not many people bought these to put on eBay but keep looking........

I beleive I read where they will sell a set of passes again at C3.  They take your order and send them out after the actual show to your house.

I also got some other passes with SW characters on them.  Some are from the Sci-Fi Expo shows from Texas.  Got some real nice ones with Jango and Maul.

Ask your friends......you never know who might have one lying around.

Once all the crazyness with my wife having twins and us moving into a new house right before the E3 release, I will try to get some pics taken and posted here.

Other Collectibles / Re: Star Wars "Force Battlers" Figures
« on: April 15, 2005, 11:31 PM »
I didn't think much of these except Vader.  But then I saw him on 4/2 and noticed that his left shoulder does not have as much articulation as his right one.

Right shoulder articulation is like that of the CommTech Stormtrooper......

Left Shoulder articulation is kind of like the vintage figures....and due to the weird angle of his left arm, it swivels way too close to his body.....kind of "weird".

I liked tha anime style of these figures but now will only get them if on sale for my upcoming kids. (Gotta get them some toys to tear into when they get big enough).

The Clone Trooper is a definite....I gotta satisfy my Clone obsession.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: Wal-Mart "Early Bird" Exclusive
« on: April 15, 2005, 11:23 PM »
A friend from North Georgia told me they went on sale at his WM...for like $27 something....not much but it shows that this gamble might not have worked for WM quite the way they expected.  I think it was a bit too high a price to fly off the shelves as they expected.....

Kubricks / Re: 400% Kubricks
« on: April 13, 2005, 11:51 AM »
WOW!!!!

I am not a big Kubrick collector but like getting one or two here and there....got the Fett, Sandtrooper and Han Carbonite....

If I could get my hands on this one I would buy it.

I got a contact in Japan I am going to try to get a hold of for this.

If anybody get's a line on one please let me know.

P.S. And don't worry.....I won't be selling it to Brian's Toys  ;)

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Rebelscum Spam Mail? WTF???
« on: April 11, 2005, 01:06 PM »
I also got the spam again...interesting thing is it came from a different e-mail...."chris@rebelscum" I think...can't remember.

I also e-mailed the opt out e-mail to be taken off their list and was told that it is part of the agreement and I coul dbe "voluntarily" banned to avoid any further e-mails.

I sent a nice response (seriously, not being sarcastic) stating my opiniona nd was replied with a civil e-mail explaining this has always been in the "user agreement" or whatever you call it. 

Oh, well...it' don't bother me that much...it's just the principle of it...and now the fact that you can't even opt out of it...that is not cool.

Oh, and for those of you keeping score ;), Yes...our favorite troll (whatever the heck that truly means) does lurk here frequently......after my initial post asking about his site, I got a nice e-mail being all tough and mean....it was hillarious....I tried to have a civil conversation with him about our differences (an offer I extend to anybody having a problem with me...no matter what has gone between us in the past) but stated if he got childish the conversation was over......needless to say, after his reply to my reply I let the issue drop.  It was just his usual childish "I am better than you" response.  Gotta admit, it is quite entertaining....LOL

I also got all these.  Like you, I am missing Coll. 7.....have been watching one or two on eBay from time to time but not paying $100+ for it.

I got one of each loose......including the C-3PO mailaway.....

I think they are pretty nifty.
