Gentle Giant / Re: Gentle Giant Busts

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.  8)

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.

Still haven't seen this set.   :-\

Looking forward to Casino Royale this week, I still have not seen this flick.

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.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 30AC pegwarmers

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.

Whatever it is, it can't be any lamer than last year's exclusive.

I just got back.  It was about what I expected.  2 hours or so of complete ass kicking, with almost no plot.  It was over the top in every way.  The visual effects, compositing and art direction were beautiful and I enjoyed almost the whole thing.  There were a few parts I thought were too melodramatic and pretty cheesy, but hey, that was kinda the deal right?  I'll probably go check it out one more time at the Imax.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: TRU exclusive Bantha & Rancor?
« on: March 10, 2007, 01:08 AM »
If the Rancor pack has anything in it that isn't a kitbash or a repack, and it costs less than the Bantha did - I'll eat my hat.

Gentle Giant / Re: Clone Wars Maquettes Yoda

I entered on behalf of a friend for the B&W Boba Fett and for once I won one of these things.  I just hope I don't get shut out when they offer something I really want.

Good for you!

They did insist that winning one raffle doesn't affect your chances of winning the next...



I still never got an email... I'm wondering if I thought I entered but didn't get all the way through the process.

Beats the poop out of me, but since I registered over there for the Clone Busts and ponied up the $50 - I also threw my name into the hat for the Fett Bust... even if I didn't keep it I'm sure I could find a home for it.

But I didn't get an email one way or the other saying I didn't win the raffle...

How'd you guys find out?

LEGO / Re: UCS Millenium Falcon
« on: March 8, 2007, 10:56 AM »
Well I pre-ordered.  It's expensive as hell, but I know I'll want it later.  I can always chicken out and cancel in September.

Collector's Tips / Re: The yellow plague...
« on: March 7, 2007, 09:06 PM »
Seems like this comes up every so often, and there's never a real solid answer.

I've heard people theorize that it's smoke, light, plastic bags, dust, heat, and on and on.  Since it's chemical, probably any one of these could be a culprit.

I'll add this though - I have a small coin collection that led me to look into the best way to store coins.  The one thing I found over and over again was coin collectors telling me NOT to put them in little plastic baggies.  They all say that this will corrode the coin over time.  Harder plastics are okay, but anything that's super flexible like ziplocks or sandwich bags seems to be a big no-no.

Or so I've been told.
