You can get an Icons TIE like above on ebay, the Japanese seller only asks $5000 LOL

Lol what a value!

Icons is less accurate than EFX TIE, edition size on Icons is three times bigger than EFX, some Icons have warping wings. EFX is better on all counts, though I wouldn't mind an Icons TIE for $500-1000, missed one 2 years ago for $700.

Mine is delivered today. Anyone have a link to a clear acrylic rod the correct size?

It snows in South Carolina?!

Every once & a while. I'd love it if it'd snow more. But I'm in the upper part of the state, just south of Charlotte NC. If we get two snows in a winter, I feel lucky.

 

[Newbieguy]

Got it. Love it.

 

[DarthRusty]

It's not a lot of snow. But here in the south, beggars can't be choosers.





I guess I should order that clear acrylic rod for it, if I'm gonna do anymore of these kinda photos with it. & thankfully it's still snowing

Very nice, a great figure!

 

[FlyAndFight]

Nice pics of a nice piece, DarthRusty.

I wish I had the snow base cover as well.

 

[Aliaz]

Nice!

 

[TonTon]

Great shots, Rusty! Your pics plus the snow in the Northeast convinced me to pull the Probe Droid out from the closet. Such a great piece.

 

[DarthRusty]

Thanks guys!

& TonTon you'll have WAY better snow than me.

Waiting for a proper snowstorm here.

Since its release, this remains my favourite piece. It was unseated for a little while by the truly excellent HT Sandtrooper, but the minor inaccuracies on that one stand out in time.

What gives the Probe Droid staying power is just how very accurate it is. Looks like a movie still.

I think I'm going to take a different approach to displaying it, though...looking into a plain black metal stand with a flat base.

Humorously, a snowstorm delayed the delivery of my probe droid by at least a day

If you have the snow base and feel like parting with it, let me know

I'll be hanging on to it as a display option...I don't think anyone's going to part with that bit, to be honest. That said, shouldn't be especially hard to fabricate one. The shapes involved are pretty simple -- surprised I haven't see anyone do that yet.

 

[TonTon]

Someone posted earlier using one of the Hoth figure bases instead. Looked pretty good.

 

[mrdbios]

I just got mine and love it. It's one of the best figures I've seen from Sideshow. Can't wait to pick up a clear rod for it.
