The Energon Pub

[Senor Hugo]

Hm, yep, Toy Fare listed the black-ops troopers as apart of the mystery pack as well.

Ah-well, more clones for my buck.


Also, Toy Fare shows a few new Jedi, The Dark Woman, and A'Sharad Hett, along with Mara Jade and Bultar Swan.

Huzzah, a couple new Jedi to add to my two-Jedi army. Now if only A'sharad comes with his tusken mask as well.

Is this in the new toyfare mag? The september issue? I must have too see.

Why Bultar Swan? Why not make Ferrus Olin instead?

Yep, the September issue, with Homer on the cover.

I looked again, A'Sharad and Dark Woman are apart of a comic pack. Bultar Swan comes with Koffi Arana for another comic pack.

[Homer]

Yep, the September issue, with Homer on the cover.

....and you have no idea how much they paid me for that cover shoot. I wasn't going to do it at first, for fear of being labeled a sell out.

But my baby girl needs a college fund, so....

LOL

I've got a few customs going at once, so it's dividing my time a little bit more than before. Not that I was working full-time on the other two. Well... the third one I'm not doing a whole figure yet so much as I'm doing his coat Pics of that sooner than the actual custom figures since they're not near being done yet...

I've bought a few more vintage pieces from auctions recently. Some are on the way... one that I'm particularly happy about is a vintage TIE Interceptor that I got for about $20! The auction title was mislabeled, so that's possibly why I got it for so cheap. From the pics, I only noticed the corner of one of the wing stickers torn off. The window looked nice and clear, and the seller says the electronics work just fine. Pics of that for sure when I get it... I always wanted a vintage Interceptor, even after I got the TRU exclusive a few years ago.

[chuckdawg1999]

Anybody going for the SW USB drives? I got the Darth Vader one and it came preloaded with sound files, icons, avatars, wallpapers, and the trailers for all six movies, teaser and full. It's about 1GB but I don't know if that's good or not.

[MagnusPrimal]

Finally found a concept Storm Trooper today!

Well since I haven't yet been able to find the latest toyfare on shelves. Yeah Pa!

Is she lumiya with headdress or without?

Is Koffi Arana, is a loser figure imho. Why can't we get jedi we want Like the Solo kids, Ben Skywalker, Darth Bane....and etc.

[Darth Screamer]

I decided to redo a custom of Bao Dur given i'm a lot better with the custom making then I was when I was originally doing it.

[Darth Screamer]

I just want the Obi-wan and Yoda set along with Hotrod, other than that I couldn't careless about this comic con imho.

[Dragontron88]

I have a few spare McQ figures MOSC. Fett, Storm Trooper, and Chewie, taking offers, PM me!

[Senor Hugo]

Lordy, the thread dropped to page two.

Anyway, SDCC Star Wars stuff.

http://jediinsider.net/g/?mode=album&al ... ro&start=0

Edit: Entertainment Earth has a full shot of the Mandie Training pack

http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodi ... LargeImage

Thats gonna be awesome.

[Wheeljack35]

Stupid me I should of put the jedi insider stuff on here

I am a newsmod for them

[Senor Hugo]

No worries. The important thing is that we're getting a good chunk o' clones.

Also, I hit up target today, saw a McChewie, and bought a couple 30th Stormtroopers.

The Troopers aren't bad, the helmets are a bit big, and one of the figures upper body is real loose.

[Real One]

Found a McChewie @ Wally today. This has been the hardest fig to find so far. I have 2 of each of the Mc figs except C3 & R2(only have 1).

I am ready for the next wave and the McVader.

[Rogue.]

Not to sound too whiny, but I can't even find the damned Jawa & LIN Droid, or the Luke with vaporator, let alone McBoba or McChewie. I've bought a few more troop builders, but I'd much rather find figures I don't already have.

Anyways. I've been buying lots of vintage Star Wars stuff lately. Mostly things I never had as a kid, and to that end, things I never got in the 90s when I started adding to my childhood collection. Unfortunately, all of that is gone now, along with the stuff I got in the 90s. The only survivors are a few of my brother's vintage figures.

Anyways, one of my best buys was snagging a vintage TIE Interceptor for $20. It was labelled as Darth Vader's TIE Fighter, so maybe that's why it went under the radar. (I was always under the impression that the Interceptor went for $30+... maybe I'm wrong?) The auction included a worn-out vintage Vader figure, whose head "someone chewed on." LOL.

It's in great shape, with a few exceptions. The stickers are mostly intact, even applied nicely and within their areas. The only damage not obvious from these pictures is the motor inside doesn't seem to work. The light does, though. The wings do tend to pop out without pressing the ejection buttons on the pylons. But I'm taking the whole thing apart, so I hope to fit that. I have an extra vintage Vader's TIE that will most likely donate its innards since I bought it for customizing anyway. The ship's color is fine, although it looks so purply in some of these pics.

Following the Interceptor pics are some "customs" of Luke and Han in Stormtrooper disguises, along with the Luke and Han from the Saga Trash Compactor set for comparison. All I did was swap the heads of the comic pack figures with those of the recently released Stormtrooper with removable helmet. They basically all share the same body and helmet... which does not fit that Saga Han figure's head very well at all.

[Wheeljack35]

Those figures you can't find we put out last night

Take a trip to Carrollwood Spike

Take a look at more goodies from Comcon

Wow we get Omega Squad, oh wait I made those already, damn hasbro.

WE FINALLY get a white repub commando, and still no articulation just a stupid non painted one from the commando set, yeah laziness hasbro.

I see were getting new 501st figs from the books. In the book by Tim Zahn called Survivors quest, were told of the 501st being recloned and some of them being aliens. So thats cool.

Some of the new battle packs are sweet.

I like the jango, but the padme blows.

Wolf jedi is supposed to be in black outfit and a darker brown in fur color.

For Christ sakes couldnt they paint the repainted naboo solider right. If you look at his neck line its still yellow, and you can see yellow through the red. Christ aren't they paying those sweat shop employees enough.

Why is the boba fett a walsuck exclusive. Ill never see that....yeah hasblow.

The tie-bomber is sweet!

The arc 170 squad is awesome!

Sweet a tie advanced, that will be purchased for sure.

We despite the stupidnesses that hasbro constantly excretes. Im happy with whats up coming for the most part.

[Wheeljack35]

R2-KT has been ordered I can't wait to get it

[Real One]

R2-KT has been ordered I can't wait to get it

It was sold out when I checked. The only thing Im getting is the McQuarrie Obi-Yoda and silver Destro.
