I'm in Dubai so we're both more or less in the same boat. I think more so here at some times during the here. Just keep them away from direct sunlight and keep the room ventilated.Where I am located, it's extremely humid. Tendency to rust is an ever present headache here.

Hey guys, sorry the update has taken forever to post but at last I can finally reveal my new custom 'Yavin' Display Base for my Droids Exclusive Premium Format I've tried my best to take some okay-ish pics but nothing compares to seeing these two amazing characters on display and in 1/4 scale. Really lucky to have this piece in my collection and now I can finally be at peace with hopefully no more Droid bases planned for the future 
For more pics please feel free to visit my Display thread on the following link

Finally, a massive shout out to our fellow freak 'Jedster' who totally pulled this base off to exactly how I wanted it

Very nice! This one is a little more screen accurate, but your old base was still very classy looking. Looks great!

Thanks so much for the great comments guys
really appreciate it whether the original custom base was your favourite or that new one looks more movie accurate, one things for sure is that it's a heck of a lot better than what Sideshow had offered for the exclusive!

Received my regular set today. Really impressed with these 2, i think they are great and i can't believe it's taken me this long to pick these up.
Getting the batteries in C-3PO's head was a right pain in the arse, doesn't help that the magnet in the faceplate keeps trying to pull the batteries away when your trying to get them to fit. Couldn't get the light-up feature to work at first but saw DarthChrisDK youtube video but still wouldn't light-up as his does. Had to leave batteries sticking out a bit for it to work.

Congrats on the new addition. They are an awesome duo to add to any collection.

I agree about the batteries!
At least you got it to work! But yea, they are really a pain...

Congrats on the Reg Simon looks great buddy glad so many have managed to pick these guys up. I do feel that they are such iconic characters and Sideshow did swell job at recreating them in 1/4 scale

Thanks so much Chris
just fixing something which Sideshow should've taken care of in the first place thankfully, there are some amazingly talented sculptors/painters/customizers out there who are able to help put things right or better still, transform a great piece to an even greater piece whether it be a new headsculpt or an alternate arm...so a big shout out to all those guys

No doubt!
Your custom base looks good with the exclusive. It matches the droids more so than the circular bases Sideshow included. Those things are a joke.
Hi guys, mine finally arrived from Singapore. When I took it out of the box I noticed a lot of rattling from R2. Closer inspection revealed that a metal plate inside him had come loose from the glue
At first I thought it was a magnet but I was wrong. I think it serves as a weight for R2. Am I right or does it serve another purpose? I have since removed it from him and he is displaying fine without it. I'm just curious to know what is this...

It might be the plate where the restraining bolt attaches to as it is magnetized and need something metal inside the body to stick to.
