Mete I'll be sending you an email in a few. Just some finishing touches I'm putting on the Uzay article before it gets transfered to HTML
Also for the rest of you,please, I need pics of variations that are not already shown in my earlier post. I've got pics of the Blue stars variations. Please only pics that you own. I know someone mentioned trying to find one of Adams pics of something that wasn't shown yet. I'd rather NOT use a pic that I do not have permission to use.
I know that there are Tie Fighter variations and a Chewie paint variation missing....what else??
Cheers Joe Have you found time to look at your R2 Lightsaber Joe or whats the story off it beeing grey? Cheers, Dennis. |

| My R2 saber actually won't come out of the R2 itself and I don't want to risk damaging it by pulling it out, so I know I need a pic of one outside of the figure. I think it's just another variation, just as there are gray,blue and black weapons documented for other figures.
Cheers Joe |

| Its cool, I just really didn't understand the purpose of the post, especially after you had already emailed me about it. You can understand that I'm not exactly pictured in the best light with 'I don't think this is real' and ' you got it back where's my refund' posts. My apologies if I freaked out a bit. Please in the future simply PM me unless you think there us something the other members here should be aware of.
Ok back on topic....looking forward to your email, Joe. Can't wait to see all the variations... |

I don't think it's hollow, but i am sure expert who actually own one can chime in with more information.
This pic shows the excessive mold a little better.
I'm not sure if I own this exact one or if I own one that looks exactly the same as this one. If anyone knows the details of who this was sold to and when, please PM me. Either way... mine looks exactly the same with the same extra molding and it indeed is not hollow. FWIW, I bought a mint figure and cardback together with this similar weapon. It was my assumption that they were all original together and the bubble went missing from the group at some point. If that is indeed the case then the pic is not of my saber, but another example exactly the same. |

| Trevor, if you could get me a pic of your saber on a black background, and your loose R2 w.o the card in the background(white background, 3 angles front,side,and back. It'd be appreciated for the article. Right now it's just waiting for me to reshoot 2 molds, and get pics of some of the variations, and upload some stuff that's in my email box. Then finish adding the text..... Then onto Poland.... Cheers and thanks Joe |

| Thanks Trevor, also, the stormtrooper paint variation that I don't have, if you could add that to the mix that'd be most helpful too. It's already better than what's on the archive, even in its unfinished state. But the final touches are whats gonna make it pop.
Cheers Joe |

| Javi, please email me the 3 different poses. Thank you. Also HUGE thanks to Trevor(Rubberlike), Wolff, and Andy for pics, and Mete for some amazing text that's being incorporated into the article this weekend. I apologize that the Uzay article isn't finished yet. I've just been working a ton the past 2 weeks and it's slowed down my progress on the article.
Cheers and thanks to everyone that's made the jump to TIG. Joe |

| Hey Wolff, are you talking about the guy who had all those beaters on sale a couple of weeks back (the one who really listed a few of the figures recently)? I didn't get any of his weapons...but incidentally I may have a couple available in the near future I'll let you know, cheers, Metr |

Metr Yes. He wrote in the auctions that weapons will be listed seperatley....and I waited....stupid me. I know the buisness, but sometimes it seems I forget how it works...LOL! Great to hear you are getting some spares! Thank you for letting me know then |

| Wolff, I think the weapons were actually sold a few weeks ago and the auctions had gone to completion. This batch of listings was what the seller hadn't sold the first time around. I gotta say, some of the prices are insane :scratch: $40 for a headless/capeless Vader, $180 for a beater AT AT driver, and $90 for a crotch-less leg amputee Tie Fighter Pilot. I sold my last light boot TFP for $150 and it was pretty minty, go figure. I've noticed that in general, auctions from sellers located in Turkey tend to do extremely well. |

| Lol @ Daren, that's a priceless reaction. You know you would've heard about these if they were legit!
$100 is absurd, just like most uzay things that sell on the bay. |

| Hi everyone,
I have a collection of some SW stuff, which also contains an No 008 SB Products (Uzay Savachilari)- Death Star Droid unopened package (with a small crack in the top corner). It was bought from Turkey or Tunisia when I was a child( actually bough 2 of them and one was left unopened). Any idea of the value of it and what would be the best way to sell it?
Can send pictures to those who are intrested.
Items are located in Finland.

Edited by Darthberizing - You can't throw up an album , say stuff is for sale and solicit offers. Please read the forum rules regarding when you can sell here and the criteria. If you are unsure of a value you can always ask the community questions on value.

| Everyone
After a PM I got this morning I've decided to ban Gotama from the boards. I committed to giving an explanation on bans so here is why the decision was made. He was made aware of our selling criteria and rules and chose instead to violate them. He also unwittingly tipped his hand in actually asking us to change our timeline on allowing PM's , Album links, etc..
He is soliciting offers and it's not allowed. TIG has no formal opinion on if he owns it, is it legit, etc.. This was simply a ban for violating the rules of the forum. Obviously if you deal with any new member who surfaces with hard to find items I'd always preach caution and this is no different.
As always, please feel free to ask questions , give your opinions, etc. They're always welcomed with a promise of no reprisal. |
