Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Home Improvement Projects

Sounds like my basement.  It was completed by the original owner.  He put in a sauna which is awesome, but some of the stuff he did is just odd....layouts of rooms, doors, etc.

**** Jesse, with all the work you're putting in at your girlfriend's place, you beter marry her!   :D

I put the stain on with a brush, then wiped the excess off with a rag...not a big deal I guess, but like I said, I've never done staining before.

BTW....love the killroy!

We've just had a bunch of home improvement projects done:

- New carpet on the main level of the house, plus new furniture for my wife's home office.

- New shades on some of our windows, plus vertical blinds on the walkout door in the media room...I can now get it as dark as the inside of a cow!

- Replaced the pantry doors in the kitchen.  I've never done any staining before so it was a fun little project.  I now want to replace all the doors on the upper two levels of the house!

Next up is getting a nice high quality sliding glass door for our kitchen and we're getting the exterior of the house painted.

Who knows what the brain-trust at Hasbro thinks sometimes, Rob.  Although the small infiltrator did sell pretty good.

Looks like Elvis Dumerville is going to miss most, if not all, of the 2010 season due to a torn pectoral muscle during training camp.

Shame...he's a great help to their defense.

TV-9D9 / Re: Upcoming SW Live-Action TV Show Discussion!
« on: August 6, 2010, 05:40 PM »
I just don't see a live action series working with just background characters...and there's no way they're going to get any of the main characters to do this.

I think there's where they run into the money problem...not the effects.

The Vintage Collection / Re: Better "Toys" Vintage or Modern?
« on: August 6, 2010, 05:34 PM »
Just comparing the 3 3/4" lines I'd say Vintage made the better "toys" because starting from day one the figures fit into the ships!  It's only been in the last two years I've been able to get a modern Chewbacca into the Millennium Falcon cockpit.   :D

From a collecting standpoint, I think the modern figures are much better to display.  If you look at my collection, about 85% of what is displayed is modern.  It's much nicer to display the modern figures because because of the superior articulation and accuracy in sculpts, they make better scenes.

All my vintage figures displayed (which I have great fondness for since they are all my toys from childhood) Are displayed standing in one cabinet in my collection room as a museum piece.

I can't see an AAT being made for the 3 3/4" line.

The republic shuttle from ROTS would be awesome though.

I don't, but I'm working on my shelves to make them a little more dioramaish....still no backgrounds though.

I'll update my collection page with pictures when I'm done.

Good question, Brian.  I've been thinking about what I would like to see and the possibility of us actually getting it:

- Sith Infiltrator - Doubtful (it should be the size of the Queens Starship and Hasbro thinks we were lucky to get the POS we did)

- Death Star - Possibly...but playset is a bad word (like you mentioned)

- Imperial Shuttle - Maybe

- Sail Barge - If done it will be in 2013

- Twilight - You'd think they would've done it already...it depends on what role it has in the future of the CW series

I don't see a whole lot of larger vehicles they could do.  I'd like to see a Tantive IV and a Star Destryoyer (they could do them similar to the Lego Versions and I'd be happy), but I don't see them being done.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Your Opinions of George Lucas

I like how they have a picture of him and the caption is "George Lucas and Friend".  Did they not know that was Steven Speilberg?

Celebration V: Orlando / C V Build-A-Droid swap meet
« on: August 5, 2010, 11:52 AM »
I'm hoping for a little help here.

Since I cannot go to C v, I need some help with some BAD parts:

-Head and middle leg of the blue astromech from the ROTJ wave
-Left arm and right leg of the YVH droid

I have various droid parts I can send to who ever is willing to help out.

Collect All 92! / Re: AT-AT Driver
« on: August 5, 2010, 11:42 AM »
The Legacy Collection figure we got last year is (IMHO) perfect. I'm actually very surprised that they didn't add him into the Vintage line-up as a repack, especially with the AT-AT coming out.

Probably because he's a pack-in with the AT-AT.
