2023 HasLab - TVC The Ghost

[McMetal]

I'm starting to worry about the timing on this... I hope it doesn't arrive right when everyone is traveling for the holidays.

My Grandmother passed away on Thanksgiving.  Her memorial service is scheduled for 13 December and I'm travelling up to NY for it.

That's the day it will arrive.

Sorry to hear that brother. Stuff like that is always harder around the holidays somehow.

Thanks.  It's tough but she would've been 104 in January.  She had congestive heart failure for two decades (she outlived her pacemaker!) 

She had a good run.

[Rob]

Almost 104?!  Amazing.

My grandfather made it to 97 and his mom was 101 when she passed.  Hoping for their genes...

[Matt_Fury]

A friend of mine asked how she died and I told him she rolled her Harley at Bike Week.

[Ryan]

Sorry to hear that Matt, even at that age it is always sad. But it sounds like she had a great run.

[Matt_Fury]

Thanks everyone...can we get back to talking about the Ghost?


I think I'm going to have to repurpose my Rebel Hangar table to Large vehicles like the BMF Falcon, Razor Crest and the Ghost.

[Rob]

I think I'm going to have to disassemble my Lego UCS Star Destroyer to make room for it.

[Dave]

I'm eagerly anticipating my shipping notice.  I was hoping they would get these out before the weekend so they could start their journey, but now it looks like it'll be next week at least.

Despite knowing this was coming for a year, I still have no idea where I'm going to put mine. 

I was planning a room re-org to make space but have completely scrapped that plan in anticipation of using that spot for my ME Cantina in 2025.  Whoops!

Maybe my wife would like to display it in the living room...

[McMetal]

I’ve currently got 10 different shelves allocated for vintage SW stuff, but they are not super deep, so unsure if it will fit in there safely. My back up plan is the coffee table in my man cave, but I would have to clear a lot of stuff first to make room there.

Hanging it in some way would be ideal but seems like it willl be pretty heavy.

[Jedi Idej]

I've only thought about how a re-org would be. I'm actually looking for a house with a decent sized room or space for one. (I can't believe my hobby is a huge consideration in my search.  )

Basically, for the collection room, I'm looking at adding multi-level platforms/shelves, wide and deep enough for the Cantina and large ships. Each level would be about 20" or so above and smaller than the lower so displayability and view of those below aren't hindered. Maybe even throwing in a lazy Susan so the toys below  can be spun. Well, not spun like the Wheel of Fortune, but rotated. (I can't see younger kids spinning it as fast as they can to see how far figures and vehicles can be flung off.    )

If you have an account with Fed Ex you can check and see if a label has been created.

One step closer.

[Dave]

Thanks.  I see my label has been created today. 

The package is listed as 50 pounds.  That can't be right, can it?

[McMetal]

My label has been created too! 

Thinking I may need to do the redirect thing like Jeff was talking about…

Great idea, Matt_Fury! I checked my FedEx account and my two Ghosts have their labels created as well. I will need to redirect my deliveries as well given these will almost certainlyrequire a signature.
