R2 actually had a nice use, in battle. if you stood him on his feet, and tilted his body 180 degrees and put somebody behind him, he was a ready-made portable blaster cannon. Which was FABULOUS for pulverizing Ewoks!

That''s the funniest thing I've ever seen! Boo yah!!

Aye! That's either sun fading or a polish job that went horribly bleached.

Spray your base colour. Use a professional sprayer. Then brush the detail. For stripes or squared paint, find a straightedge of some kind to keep it straight. Great thing about spraying the base is if you make a mistake, just spray over it. So if you're painting the body green with blue...

Agreed! This is the most egregrious case I've seen, but onetofivedayauctions is Imperial scum.

THen let him. He can't ask for more shipping, you can report him to ebay and he'd get a strike against his account. If he got nasty in a message, you can report him for abusive treatment, and he'd get a second strike, and his ID suspended. If he got a third strike--he's out. Brilliant move...

None of that is the buyer's responsibility. The onus is always on the seller to buy insurance for the package. Ebay doesn't allow sellers to charge a specific insurance charge anymore, because it was running into regulation issues, and doesn't want to be an insurance broker of sorts. The...

Educated guess... £10-£14, but I haven't shipped a larger item like that to Europe in a while.

Absolutely, you should NOT pay that, and should report them to ebay. This is one of the oldest violations of ebay rules, and sellers can be suspended or revoked for doing that, as they should be. He's trying to squeeze more out of the auction, probably just asking that to see if you pay it or...

2 things here: Tracking is available for overseas shipment by USPS, it has to be Global Express to be accurate, and that's very expensive. I use the regular airmail and haven't had a problem shipping to Europe or Australia. Secondly, even if he had tracking or delivery confirmation to cover...

Wow, Todd that's a great garage conversion. One of the best I've seen, and I've seen OVER 2 of them. For me it's as impressive as the collection. Brilliant work. Or for those that speak Yoda: A great conversion that is, yes. Around the conversion, a museum create. Aye.

Mine is under the household policy, it's usually the cheapest way in the US

THAT is frikken fantastic!! HEY ALL, just to confirm some comments from this thread, YES you should all have your collections insured. I added it to my homeowners insurance, it was the cheapest way. Now my insurance company wants pictures. I asked them how they go about exacting the value...

Dust! the only person that ever would consider paying that is something that has never had google and ebay, which would narrow it down to about 3 customers.

All right, this list needs regulated, so here. Imperial Royal Guard Barada--that's right, a POTF name. This guy could stomp anyone that came against him! He ended up leading my creatures as a kid, and my original Barada is still on the shelf, ready to beat down any plastic-boy that comes...
