Thanks for the tip Nick. It isn't really bad or anything - and with a number like #0028, I'm okay with it.

So now Martha and Aaron are an item, and Martha freaks out (that's what happened right? I looked away for a split second) and stabs Charles in the whatever, and now he's going to probably die in the ambulance?
It's like 90210 with international terrorism.

Whatever this stuff is, it's down in the little lines etched into his hand, and it does not seem to come off. I even gently ran the back of an x-acto (nothing that would cause damage) through there to see if it would scrape off and nothing moved. It definitely seems to be part of the resin or some similar material, whatever it is. It's not so bad that it ruins the bust or stands out too much, but I was curious enough to email the guy about it.
I'll try to get a better picture tonight.

Biker Scout question for everyone. The one I got over the weekend has some crusty looking white stuff on his hand. The seller tells me that this is part of the statue, part of the digital imaging process they went through and that it's minty mint.
Just wanted to see if you guys had stuff like that on yours.
You can see it a little bit in this image, but I didn't take it with that specifically in mind:
Thoughts?

Will this one stand on it's own without the legs bending?
I'll take it back if that's the case. And I'll buy a few.

I'd love to pick one up, but I'm not too worried about it yet.
Maybe this is just my payback for finding VOTC Stormtroopers in almost every store I walked into for 5 months.

Anyone else having trouble with that Unleashed Black Hole Stormtrooper?
Mine keeps falling over. I can't believe they raised the price by $5.00 and cheaped out on the plastic at the same time. Worst unleashed ever.

Well, here's a photo of where I'm at now:
I've also got Dooku, Bossk, 501st Clone, Threepio (OT), Anakin Reveal and Palpatine on the way. I've got funds set aside for Boba Fett now - if any of you know anyone selling one...
I've gotten to the point now where all the ones I'm looking for run from $75 to $125, so I'm going to be slowed a little bit unless I find some good deals at the show this weekend. My shortlist looks like this now: Boba Fett, Han Stormtrooper (Brent?), Luke Stormtrooper, Utapau Clone, Shock Trooper, Gray AFX Clone, Sandtrooper Corporal, Salacious Crumb.
Also, I updated with all new photos of my whole collection today... link is in my sig if anyone is interested.

Ouch. The Mavs roll into town riding a 16 game win streak and beat the Lakers down to the tune of their worst home loss in franchise history?
Kick ass.

Collections / Re: Finally took pictures of my collection... ****New Photos 03/11/07
« on: March 11, 2007, 11:10 PM »UPDATE: 03/11/07 - all new photos in the first post of the thread. Some new figures, lots of new carded Saga, and I moved the UCS Legos to the top shelf of the one wall to create a new area for Gentle Giant busts. A handful of vehicles had to go into the closet to make that happen.

Same here (the looking forward part that is...). I saw it and enjoyed it a whole bunch.
The only other thing I'm picking up this week is Harsh Times, which I didn't see.

Around here nothing peg-warms at first. But a few weeks from now, most of this first wave will be sitting around. Nothing says pegwarmer like a bunch of Artoos and Super Battle Droids.

Wow.
I can't believe how crowded it is right now at the top.
Even more unbelievable is that I'm a part of it - even if I'm the only one of the top four who's not getting a gold at the moment.
