Stunning proof and Palitoy Leias, HothRebel.

Paul, I was surprised to see the Luke Farmboy in the box with the others. Little to no paint wear.

Dan, the figures were bought from the same guy I got some from that was $2.00 each. Sorry dog jacked the prices up on me in a week or I'd bought all he had. He had 1 or 2 more Ledy B-Wing Pilots, but 2 is enough for me.

Congrats on the Leias Lee. I really like the proof.

Thanks for the comments guys,finding them waiting made comin home the hols a little easier.

Only 2 Ledy B-wing's Chris will satisfy you.I wish i could satisy my desire that easy 2 B-wing's would ba a sampler.Then bring on the main course,follow that up with a little dessert.



Dan

Its going to hard enough to get the weapons for those two and the 3 others I have now, let alone an army of those bad boys. One day, though, one day.

I here ya Ledy's are getting tuffer to find by the day.Yet my obsession with them grow's stronger.

Well my mystery chewie item has now arrived in the uk and is waiting at the lo al depot for collection (and for me to pay the bloody custom charges!!!!!). At least it has arrived safely.

Should be able to pick it up Monday or Tuesday so pics will be up by middle of the week.

I am really excited about getting this!

Steve - you know the excitement level you're building up right? If this is a yellow bubbled 77 back we are all going to come to your house to beat you

I know, I know.

But youjust have to trust me that it is worth the wait.

Happy Monday! I went to the post office to drop something off and the guy at the counter says he has something for me!!!!

PBP ERG (Thanks to Joe_O for the heads up on this)



Takara Wind-Up R2 AFA U90

Nice start to the week John. That ERG looks great.

Great new additions fellas all the way around.

The loose figure pick up for $5 is awesome!!!!!!

Nice pieces John. I love that R2. What a great figure .

Nice John! I really like the PBPs.

Well finally the wait and the mystery are over.

See my new item below. And to be honest i am so chuffed to actually own this amazing peice of SW manufacturing history.





Steve

Wow Steve!!!!!!!

Silicon molds!?!?!?!???? That's just flat incredible! Especially for a first 12 figure like that!

Kudos mate! And thanks for sharing!

Wow is that an original production mold from the factory?

How did you aquire that?

It's mind blowing.

Dan

Holy Cow Steve you had to be doing a jig when that arrived!!! Awesome on it's own, let alone to a Chewie collector. Congrats dude!

Dan,

yes and no is the answer. The silicon molds were actually used to cast the hardcopy figures during the design phase and so they are pre preoduction.

I also have this:



which is the steel mold used in the actual production of figures. I have not yet been able to find the torso steel mold but would love to add it to my collection at some point if it still exists.

I also have the leg silicone mold on its way to me. So far the arm silicone mold has not surfaced but again if it does i hope to add it to the collection.

Steve

@ DarthB and Chris - thanks guys. I was absolutely stoked to have these offered to me and my hands were literally shaking as i was opening the parcel.

Dont think i will be buying much more for a while!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alhtough i do have one parcel to collect from the PO tomorrow morning - another cool item but no where as cool as these molds.

Steve

Steve, you weren't lying when you said it was worth the wait! Congrats on the mold, or should I say molds. I know you were thrilled to get the torso and legs, I just hope the arms come up for you to put the family back together. Your pix of the steel mold isn't showing up, by the way. I'd love to see that one.

That was well worth the wait for the reveal. Congrats Steve!

Really nice find dude - you must be stoked!

I knew it had to be huge... It's pretty neat that something so fragile has survived long enough to for you to get it for the focus.

Well done

Chris/Shaun/Craig

thanks for the comments guys.

Chris - the pic seems to work ok on my system - anyone else having probs loading it?
