It was uncalled for...  So let's keep the insults off the boards.  This stuff isn't gonna fly, so let it go.

The custom's looking good Paul...  One of the more unique customs in a while actually.  Creative and different.

Edit: What the hell is the base though?  I've looked high and low for good "animal" bases for customs seems to be difficult if not impossible for me.

You can use just about anything on resins Paul...  They take oil-based paints well (or so far with every brand and type I've used, haha...  There's always that one time it ain't gonna work though, or so I tell myself in the back of my mind).

Anyway, it's more versatile in that regard... 

I gotta get off my pooper and do more casting but it's been on my backburner for a while now.  I've got mold rubber here I can only hope is still useable.  Ugh.

No doubt...  Hopefully they blew their "cheapness" load on it the first time, and that a wide-release one to all retailers would make it at the $20 pricepoint.  I'm not counting on that though unfortunately.  To me it'll be actually insulting to see a squat-winged TIE on shelves, which is what I wholely expect to see.   

I don't mind the #6 myself...  It kneels better, so for me the figure is somewhat a trade-off.  I like having some in the army for that purpose, not to mention they had rifles and #41's didn't...

With the battlepack troops and repaint #6's it's less an issue to me with the rifles though since most Shocks I noticed had carbines not rifles.  Still, some #6's for kneeling poses aren't a bad thing to me. 

I just got my Mace Saber in the mail from Jared...  First, thanks to Jared for that, but second...  Wow is that a bright, vibrantly colored saber.  I was thinking it wasn't as purple as it should be, and that they had trouble with it, but man this thing is pretty spiffy.

I'm up to 3...  Maul's, Vader's...  They're my next purchases, and E3 Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Palpy sabers are the ones I'll pick up if they're made ever.

These are addictive...

Well...  I want the Ice Cream Maker Guy (ICMG) too...  This site's ICMG headquarters!

But yeah, Palpy sorta got shafted in ROTS's line...  Few "good" figures of him.  A couple SA versions of him are overdue now.  I want an SA one of him in the red robes...  SA Mace to go with him, and we're set... 

We're between $2.95 and $2.99...  above the supposed national average.  For a low cost-of-living area like Pittsburgh, that is sucking hard for a lot of people.  Then again as I watch the moron in the gas-guzzler complain about gas prices on the 6:00 news, I'm tempted to shoot the TV Elvis style.

There's been reports of them now for a week or two Dan...  Out in PA I know they're surfacing, though I've yet to notice them here in the Pittsburgh area at all...  Then again I don't frequent K-Mart if I can avoid it, haha.

Word is the price is up to $30 or more...  I've only heard a couple times of it being around $26 or so for the set...

The price isn't horrendous...  5 figures for $30 isn't THAT bad, but the Anakin in the set makes it a bit harder to choke down.
