Yeah that video's great!

Problem with those ones (Luxeons) is they're expensive. Yeah you can use them to hit people, but is it worth that much?

The blade's also removable, did you know? And you can get replacement blades they're like $30. The problem isn't damaging the blade, it's damaging the LEDs in the Force FX blades. The Luxeons light up with a bright light in the hilt so there's nothing to damage.

These one's cost me a total of Ã'£95. Ã'£45 for Anakin ROTS and Ã'£50 for ESB Vader.

Angel, are they the luxeon ones that you have or the vanilla MR?

 

[xAngelx]

Mine are just Stock FX. I can't afford the flashy ones

Although I was looking at a nice Vader ESB Luxeon but it'd cost me Ã'£100 and I don't know if they ship to the UK, then it would cost more on that for customs.

You can get kits to convert stock FXs to Luxeons but they're kinda complicated, I'd prefer to get it then have someone experienced install it.

Where did you get the Vader one from, Angel?

 

[xAngelx]

Play.com but unfortunately they've sold out of ESB Vaders. They do have a few others up though including ANH Vader.

I am tempted to get a Luxeon Vader one as i do want a Vader Saber so for the extra i might give one a try. I like the idea that you can also display the hilt separately 8)

The only issue with the luxeon ones is that the blade doesn't normally power up like the MR ones do. I think there are some with a special circuit board in (a corbin board or something like that) that simulates the power-up though and apparently works pretty well.

I have a few collections so bear with me....

My first is a collection of 18 weird looking Japanese dolls called "Pullip" (yes, hence the username!). They are expensive little buggers, limited to 1000 per doll so you dont actually lose money. Havent got a pic of them all, they are packed up at the moment as we are selling our house, but this is one of them and her name is Mitzi.

My second collection is comics. This is quite old and now only about a third of them Im not fussy what I collect, but I do love X Men!

I also collect Rock memorabilia (especially The Darkness and My Chemical Romance), I have an enormous collection of original polly pockets that fill a 36" TV Box!!! Some Freshly Caught Fairies and a few Bad Taste bears.
Im a rotten hoarder.

Sorry, what the hell are them/they/those!?

 

[xAngelx]

Nice collection man, I collect comics but mine are all modern and I don't have nearly as many as you

I took some more pics of my collections last night:
Got some new shelves so I could bring older stuff out of storage. All of my Marvel Legends are still boxed up and a few of my Street Fighter figs. My Batman stuff is all in storage.

 

[weasel]

Gotta love the B-wing! 8)

 

[xAngelx]

Hell yeah, behind it are the Action Fleet B-Wing and both Titanium B-Wings (normal and orange trim).

 

[weasel]

The original is still the best though! 8)

 

[xAngelx]

Sadly, that's a POTJ B-Wing, not vintage.

 

[weasel]

I noticed the pilot was non vintage, but from that photo I wouldn't have guessed the B-wing was!

Some Freshly Caught Fairies and a few Bad Taste bears.

Sorry, what the hell are them/they/those!?

Lol, This is a bad taste bear:

Various rude bears doing different things, all with daft names... this being "Moe" Gettit? lol

freshly caught fairies are more my daughters thing, but they are rather cute. Basically its a fairy in a Jam jar, but they are all from different parts of the country and relate to the folklore, like cornish pixies and Irish Leprechauns etc

 

[inzaman]

Angel, you have some well smart stuff there, nice collection 8)

Currently im collecting action man again and i been trying to get a mint condition boxed action man space ranger without luck, none at moddelers loft or ebaY or metropolis, anyone know any other vintage action man shops ? there was an add in memorobillia a couple of months back near the back was a colour advert that had a trilogo yakface picture in the advert and i know that shop had what i want but i forgot the address of the shop now.. sucks not being abolke to get what you want when you want...

some ******* out bid me on two action man items on the last minute and that ******* stupid new ebay quick bid **** froze my computer

said there was 50 secs left so i bid on it that way and the screen ******* froze and when it eventually opened auction had ended and i lost out by two quid

 

[gustie]

its a proper ebay thing but instead of hitting place a bid and then confirming it the quick bid opens on another screen and you place bid directly on that but as i thnink its run by java its not completly reliable

just won this boxed action man today http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130153650646&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:UK:11
