Thanks everyone. Do this forum, I added a new word to my vocabulary, futzing. I had to explain the origin of said word to my wife when I used the word in a sentence. She was like "you found a community dedicated to this hobby" and I was like "yep!" She was like "oh god". Lol

Awesome. and your poor wife.....May the Futz Be With You....Both

I pity the fools on FB who think that the SS DX is better than this or almost as good

Well, this is nice, I pre-ordered Lord Vader on the 11th January 2015 and my final payment date has been pushed back AGAIN to early December! I guess that's what happens to you when you decide to pay in instalments. Has this happened to anyone else on here?

Sadly, there's no cure for Magoo-ism.

It's standard practice for SS to receive their stock a whiles after actual HK release. Is that where you ordered from?

If you want it when it releases you have to pay the extra, that simple.

I've painting the chest armour with Matt paint

I think he's definetly looking like a new hope now

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Excellent work! Think I'll be doing that also.

Why does the dome look inflated in those photos?

 

[james the cat]

Probably Camera angles, he's hard to photo especially on iPhone and the weather its dark in England

Where did you buy from James?

 

[james the cat]

I can't remember his name now
I'll have look later
I buy them through PayPal but not on eBay

Fun with Vader on this most gloomy of Sunday's.

Yeah, I ordered him from Sideshow, thanks for your reply - I've gone and ordered the HT 1/6 Sandtrooper from Sideshow too, so I won't be ordering anything for a while now (although the 1/6 Captain Phasma is VERY tempting) After the Sandy order arrives I'll order from HT direct. Thanks for the info.

HT direct? Not aware of that...

 

[AIR]

Is it just me, or does his lightsaber seem undersized?

 

[Eamon]

That looks great james the cat. Did you weather the boxes as well?

Thanks for comment, yes I weathered the belt and painted his chest armour

No probs.

You can't actually order from HT direct however. The people getting this early, as I am, are the ones ordering directly from ebay members in HK who buy directly from the stores over there.
