Star Wars Celebration V: August 12-15, 2010. Orlando, FL

How much would one cost without the radio control?

Probably around $800-$1,000. Or $1,200-$1,500 with a fully aluminum dome. If you want other pieces aluminum it would go up from there. That's the stuff that costs (and weighs) a ton.

This is materials costs, mind you.

Hmmm. How about a date with my wife, then?

Not that this is the place to discuss this in further detail but if you go non RC to start is it easy to design up front to convert to RC later?

Yes, provided you use a solid frame and legs to support it later on (and build the legs so that you can run wires down through them later). They make those in expensive aluminum too, but really the wooden ones work just fine.

Oh, she's a hottie, to be sure! I saw on Facebook.

(Please don't hurt me for thinking the wife is hot, Wallz.)

Sorry, not Italian, but smoking hot. I'm a lucky man and tell myself that every day.

No worries, buddy!

 

[IrishJedi]

Yes. Indeed you are among the lucky.

God I need to stop talking to you because you keep tempting me.

 

[Darth Waller]

God I need to stop talking to you because you keep tempting me.

Yeah, we could be opening up a big can of worms here.

I saw these R2s in person at CV and damn!

 

[IrishJedi]

"You want to build a droid..."

 

[Something Sexy]

"You want to build a droid..."

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[agen_kolar]

No worries, buddy!

Yay! But really, she's very pretty. Your family is a nice-looking group.

Yeah, we could be opening up a big can of worms here.

I saw these R2s in person at CV and damn!

Yeah. I've been wanting one for a while, but seeing so many at CV made me want one that much more. I'm not good with building stuff so I'd have to pay someone else to do it, which I'd be willing if I had the money. One day, as I keep telling myself, one day...

 

[IrishJedi]

Uh, oh. I ran Mike off. I think maybe he thought I was serious. (Or maybe he was just going to ask her)

I may be in for that !

 

[Shropt]

Sorry, not Italian, but smoking hot. I'm a lucky man and tell myself that every day.

Hmm. I'd say invite her to Dragoncon next year if we go.

I couldn't build one to save my life, so I'd have to find a kind soul to build one. They are pretty sweet, but I'd be happy with an accurate one that sat in the corner with lights.

That is an idea.

How much more is it to go imperial ?

Sorry, not Italian, but smoking hot. I'm a lucky man and tell myself that every day.

yes she is DW. She is gorgeous as is the baby. Wonderful family yuo have there.

Iagree. I am with you on all counts here.

Me thinks there IJ should start a R2 Builder thread here for us !

Exactly, I don't need one that moves. Although, I do think it'd be funny to attach a leash to one and walk it around the neighborhood. That'd get a few heads turning.
