[mfoga]

[Grange Wallis]

Damn Darkness... I feel bad for you... I did the smae thing with Leia... Got Old Ben a-ok... But what happen witht the website? Thanks again for posting that link Galactiboy! Might have missed it if it wasn't for that one!

Yeah, I did.

But I also got through online and ordered so I'd get the bonus points (didn't know we would get them via phone) so I will be cancelling one Ben for someone on the waitlist.

Get on it! I'm sure alot of people who ordered via phone also did it online as well.

Is it just me or does anybody else think the Jedi Training Remote is pretty darn cool? It will look awsome with farmboy Luke (with the exclusive training helmet?)

Regardless of display factor, it looks very nice crafted, too bad we don't get a very good view of it yet, perhaps someone could arrange for a special photo or 2 like was done with the Bubo pack...help us Dusty-Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope

It is really cool, but it's too short. It's gonna be shooting laser beams at Luke's knees. I'm gonna have to find a taller rod for mine.

I didn't think of that. Guess I will need to find a little longer rod as well... hopefully a clear one.

I'm just getting regular so Darkshadowcollectables it is for me.

 

[Xander]

I'm glad they included the training remote. Wish it was taller, but I guess that's been said before. I hope they start including more things like this. Environment things. Plus I'm one (small) step closer to getting that Falcon chess set.

Makes me hope that ANH Luke's exclusive accessory isn't the helmet, but I'm sure that will be a standard thing. Personally I'm hoping it's his sttormtrooper belt, but it'll probably end up being the poncho and hat...yawn.

Speaking of ANH Luke. I'm already planning on using the extra Sand Base from Maul to help recreate the scene of him looking out at the twin suns.

 

[MaulFan]

A nice idea Josh, be curious to see what you do, but it's not a very high base, what would you put his knee on?

 

[Xander]

I wonder how many people would actually want a Biggs Darklighter in his academy suit after farmboy Luke is realeased...Habro just had one come out and it's actually very neat. He was almost in the film that way...

No, I was thinking of taking some foam or other material like that and trying to turn it into a ridge. I'd paint it to of course trying to match the sand color as close as I could.

We used styrofoam in my sculpture class a college, you can get imperfect round shapes out of it which would be perfect for a rocky ledge, just use a file to bevel at the foam and clear away the dust, then paint it and there should be a nice texture to it as well.

The most classic star wars pose there in IMO. With luke facing the 2 suns, be sure to take pics of that.

 

[Cowboy]

I couldn't get thru so I just odered mine from alterego for $50.95 I didn't need leia. Love this one.

Cool!! I may call on you for some help in how to go about things a little more. This is the pose I want to use so I want to make sure it comes out looking as nice as I can.

From SS SW section:

Phone orders taken for Obi-wan Kenobi Episode IV earlier today will receive rewards points due to the server issue experienced during the PPO which required some collectors to place their orders via the phone.
