Here's one that many of you haven't seen before....definitely the oddest R2 I've ever seen. The Imai "Nazi" R2-D2 model kit: and it even comes with instructions on where to put the arm bands on him... Cheers Joe

Doesn't look right to me,but I'd consult with Tom Derby if I were you. The fact that the seller is also selling some other obviously fake items is cause to not even need to go to Tom to determine that they're fake IMO. Just avoid this one and wait til one that comes from a more solid source...

I completely agree with your assessment of what RS has become, and it's one of the reasons I chose to leave, I saw it happening before this incident. I honestly didn't think my saying goodbye to some of my friends that I know don't frequent other forums OR trying to reclaim my content would...

I'm actually a more mellow guy than what you've seen here by me, (easier to be when I'm not being trolled or insulted)...lol I plan on being around here a bit more than previously, so we'll see. Cheers Joe

As much as I hate 3rd party grading services, I wouldn't touch an un graded/un authenticated, easy to fake variation like that, with a 10 foot pole. Items that easy to fake are the only reason why CIB/afa has any use to the community (in my opinion). I know that there is an authentic black Bib...

I think it has far less to do with me or Philip, and more to do with the overall community and the ownership of our photos. It may not be an issue on this forum if the answer of photo ownership is answered in the TOS, but unfortunately it is an issue involving everyone that has ever posted their...

The larger issue of this(Copyright ownership of your photos/work) is soo far beyond having anything to do with me. For those that dislike me for whatever reasons (real or imagined) if the same thing were happening to you. You had posted copywritten pics that you owned, and had/have future plans...

I truly didn't come here to get into drama, but once again, it's hard not to have a reaction when someone attacks you without prior argument in the thread and tells you to **** yourself. TFB has done it in just about every thread I've posted in on this forum if you want to look back at my other...

Hmmm....Since when is someone telling you to go **** yourself "light hearted"? Yet by replying you act like I'm looking for a fight?? I'm not the one looking for a fight. I saw that there was a thread about me here, and wanted to reply and add my part of the discussion, and maybe clear up some...

Plenty of humility,but not willing to be talked to like that.Quite secure in just about everything that I am in life. My continuing to respond to his bullshit is more because I've done nothing to justify it. He decided he doesn't like me and wants to **** with me, I figure if I'm going to be...

When Pillowbiterboy...err tiefighterboy stops trolling me, I'll stop replying to him. I didn't lay into him first, and I'll never back down when confronted (online or in person) And that is different than admitting being wrong, in situations where I am wrong, I have no problem admitting it...

Sorry but when someone tells me to go **** myself I'm going to respond. I've ignored him trolling me in several other threads and the buck stops here. Cheers Joe

Arrogant..... at times, not going to deny it, but unlike you I can see when I'm being a bastard, and you're oblivious to when you're acting like one.. Self absorbed, not really, I'm actually my own worst critic, and more often than not think of the overall effect of things on the community...

You're a sorry little man aren't ya? You wouldn't talk so big to my face and you know it. You're the one that's coming across as an arrogant little bitch. Other than answering your bullshit pissy posts talking **** about me, I've pretty much ignored you. You're nothing more than a wanna be...

Joe, I've never denied that I stepped over the line to get the initial suspension,and had it been handled properly I would have done my time, so to speak, returned and everything would have been back to normal. My initial reply to the poster I argued with wasn't anything more than me telling...

My leaving RS post was hardly a look at me post, but since a decent amount of you here don't know me, you wouldn't know that my inbox gets filled up regularly with questions about bootlegs, non US SW stuff, and a number of other topics.I simply wanted to tell friends that they could find me on...

For the most part I'm a bootleg collector. I collect other Star Wars toys, but other than being an opinionated asshole :twisted: , I'm known for my slightly insane collection of unlicensed Star Wars items. Cheers Joe

I've hesitated at replying to this thread as I'm sure someone will accuse me of bragging or being elitist, regardless of how honest my reply is. :roll: The original question of how do collectors afford the good stuff? For me there have been phases on how I've been able to play the collecting...

I'm not much of a customizer, but essentially they just take Kenner figs and repaint them to look similar to the rarer bootleg versions, and they generally print the cards themselves, luckilly most of the fakes/customs that are out there are very easy to detect. Carded Uzays can range anywhere...

As has been mentioned they're all pretty common to find on Ebay, newly made, custom figures, based on both the Turkish Uzay line, as well as the Yoda, which the Polish Yoda never even came carded, so that piece is pure custom fantasy, not even an attempt at a custom of a real item. Here's an...
