I have a Nick Toe if your interested :lol:

 

[PGowdy]

Anyone got a Deaf Squad Commander? The variant they made with no ears.

 

[phreatobite]

My new hollow cheek tusken raider - I have obviously given him an original cloak and weapon.

Truth be told, I'm a little unsure about the cheeks - not sure if they've been touched-up?

 

[tiefighterboy]

They look like they have been drilled. The one opening on the cheek post looks way bigger than the other one.

 

[Joe]

Yeah thats a fake

 

[Capetown]

I agree with Todd regarding the tubes. And I think his prongs look off too.

Here's a thread with some great info:

[tiefighterboy]

Yeah thats a fake

I knew it was too (Just didnt want to burst his bubble) and a bad one at that with all the distortion to the cheek tubes. If you made this one I suggest you use a smaller drill on your dremmel tool...If you bought it...........I dunno what to say.

 

[Joe]

There is a half decent one on RS for $50 - ToddG I think

 

[DarthStanley]

Bryan-great price on the 3 MOC's,a real bargain!

Pete-nice loose figures haul,they're in superb nick too!

Phreatobite-shame about the HC TR being a fake!

 

[PGowdy]

Thanks mark. Decided to start a Stormtrooper army so went on a bit of a mission... with money being tight i had to hunt for bargians and make silly offers. Did quite well in the end.

There was a great Imperial lot on ebay today, 8 Stormies, Scouts, ERG's etc, but it went for too much. 56 quid or there abouts. Anyone on here pick it/them up?

 

[phreatobite]

Thanks guys, that thread was useful and does confirm it... Damn. I've just emailed the guy for a refund. I hope I don't have to open a case.

Needless to say the feedback will be exceedingly negative.

 

[silver grin]

Did you buy it on ebay? If so then tell us the seller :wink:

Hope you get your money back

 

[phreatobite]

She's offered me another one but it's not clear whether that one is real either - think I'll just get my money back.

 

[Caswellbot]

My hunch would be that that one is also a fake mate. Im just looking at the tubes and they just dont look neat enough. Genuine ones look alot crisper. For me, these tubes also look drilled dude. :|

I say that's a fake too.

 

[Caswellbot]

Hey Guys. Ive not really bought a great deal recently but here a couple of things that I picked up not so long ago.

ROTJ Twin Pack - Bib Fortuna and Crix Madine. Includes Bib Fortunas weapon.

Tri Logo - 70 back - Darth Vader - Signed by Dave Prowse. (Yeah its a bit sunfaded but its still a pretty cool item.

Thanks for looking!

 

[silver grin]

Love that tri-logo - the bubble on it is brilliant

Where did you pick that 2 pack up?

 

[PGowdy]

Brilliant buys Chris! Love em.

 

[Caswellbot]

Thanks guys!

I picked up the Vader on E-Bay for a song a little while back. The bubbe is very nice.

The two pack came from Darthberizing on TIG. You dont often get weapons included in these 2 packs.

[tiefighterboy]

The Tusken Raider 2nd attempt is fake as well.

 

[Capetown]

Love the new additions Chris!

 

[DarthStanley]

Excellent new additions Chris,congrats! 8)

 

[shawn_k]

Nice additions everyone!

That's a real shame about the HT Tuskens. Hopefully you can find a real one soon.


Here's my main purchase from CV. I'm now at 60 with 2 left now.

 

[e30318is]

Wow! Awesome Coin!

 

[Caswellbot]

Thanks fo the kind comments guys and congrats on the Fett coin Shawn. Whats left mate? Who ya missing? 8)

 

[Capetown]

The coin's awesome Shawn, I bet that set you back an Imperial Shuttle or two. :lol:

 

[PGowdy]

Lovely coin Shawn. Just two left?! You'll have to show us them all once you're done!

 

[Vaders_Child]

nice fett coin Shawn and great 2 pack and tri vader cards Chris

 

[weasel]

You'll have to do an update limelight of your coins Shawn!

Your chances of getting the last two are........!?

Thanks guys. The two that I have left are Greedo and Luke Hoth. My original plan was to finish the set before the end of the year, but I'm also paying off another purchase, so I'm hoping now to get one more a little later this year and then finish the set early next year. I'm waiting until the set is done to pop in the last 5 coins in the frame, but you can be sure I'll limelight that sucker once its done. It's been a long process and it seemed like it would take forever to get to this point.
