Anyone know if the top (bowl) part of the pipe and railing is removable? So the area with the frog snacks would be opened up?

I asked them this question early on, and they said it's not intended to be removed. I think it might snap on seperately, but it's not displayable off.

God, I want this thing! I finally broke down and called them. Of course, all is well in my account, and they expect to charge me soon. Sigh. HOW SOON??!!
 
looking great. I think a yellow bulb will help with creating the impression of orange we remember. I'll still paint it, but at least half of that is just the artist in me who's never happy with anything, lol

It is, of course, a fabulous piece. I think at the least (if I have the display room) I'll sculpt myself some steps or a platform for the side for whatshisname to stand on

EDIT: bib fortuna..... lol, my brain gave me nothing when I went to type his name just then :rotfl

A great idea and the only thing I thought even lacked in the Throne. :clap
 
Here is a fine pic from thehippkid at RS:

He says be carefull with the top bowl piece because it falls of really easy. His cracked almost all the way off. :(
 
I was going to put him on top of a bookshelf too but decided against it for two reasons. One, I don't think it is big enough. Two, it is too high to see the set up in full glory with all the critters. So I got an old desk from the basement and it is just big enough for the entire set up and is about waist high so it can be clearly seen.

Still no notice!
 
Great pics guys!!! Keep 'em comming.

That's similar to what I'm going to do. Put it on top of a bookshelf.

Me too.

I'm going to put my whole set up on top of two identical bookcases that are right next too each other. Right now I have all my Jabba citizens set up. The only thing I need now is Jabba and his throne.

I'm going to go nuts by Tuesday waiting for this to arrive. :sick

I just hope this thing isn't too heavy for them.
If the package really weighs 40 pounds, you can figure that no more than 5 of those pounds will be packaging, so the throne will weigh at least 35. Then you add Jabba, Bib, Salacious and the gang, and that's freaking heavy!
 
Well, I was going to try and avoid forums cuz I knew the pictures would drive me nuts, but I keep trying to calm myself, my weekends go by real fast, and work is so crazy, it'll be Thursday before I know it. I'm very eager to get my hands on all of this, I wish the throne was as easy to take out of the box and put back as Jabba himself so I could check it out at work to tide me over til I can go home, but it's a bit too much so I'll save that for home and enjoy his sliminess during work :) As if my desk didn't have enough large movie paraphenilia on it already, what's one more piece :)

I'm not too worried. I had 8 PFs on top of my bookcases before I made room for Jabba so I'm certain that it'll hold.

I also bought a shelf to lay on top of the two bookcases. It's extra wide so that I don't have to worry about anything falling behind the bookcases and it's the lenght of both bookcases together so that it kind of locks them together.
 
Here's a comaprison of the SS Jabba and the IC Jabba...

The Illusive Concepts Jabba is much bigger and clearly now much more toy-like. The SS Jabba shines in so many ways over it. The IC Jabba suffers from that certain Hasbro-style "oversized" look. He was good for his time -- I got this in 1996.

But the sculpting and detail on SS is so superior. It simply IS Jabba.
