Congrats on Amanaman!! He's definitely a cool vintage figure to have. I'm right there with you on the POTF R2D2 - probably going to have to pay out the butt to get him, but he's my only one left before I complete my vintage, there's no way I can't not have him.

I've been hoping I wasn't bidding against you. I know you need that R2...

Boba Ben said:

You chose wisely, fury. Amanaman is awesome. I still haven't gotten one, but as I've said before, it's the one vintage I'd have if I could only pick one. How long do you think it'll take you to collect them all on your budget?

If I push it, I might be able to finish in about a year, just in time for CVII. But then I'll prolly save a few as convention pickups too. We shall see...

No idea, I hope it's something cool! But knowing their new policy on exclusives, I doubt it. The store had a bent up Tower of Orthanc today, but instead of giving a discount they will give you 1000 extra VIP points. I guess that's $10, but still not as good as 20% off.

That sucks. I got the 20% off on my Death Star because it had the damaged box. Oh well, at least the Sandcrawler is coming out.

I just missed an eBay one, my own fault, I completely lost track of the auction time. Oh well, I'm sure we'll both snag one in good time. Although, my patience tends to wear thin when I'm so near to the end.

If it was 2000 VIP points, I wouldn't be complaining I guess as that is exactly 20$ on a $200 set.

That was my original idea, get down to 2-3 figures and finish up at CVII. I don't think I'll be able to hit that though.

Evening fellas! Man, these little girls are wearing us out!
My aunt bought me a LEGO set though! So I got the Spider-Man vs. Doc Ock. She then said that it wasn't enough, so she gave me an additional $200 in cash!!??
Asian aunts are awesome!!

200 bones??? Damn. Will you be my Asian aunt, Chien?

Good Lord.

As much as we rail against Ebay, the truth of it is a lot of people are just dishonest, value-less dirtbags who have no consideration. I've always scoffed at the "for xxx dollars I expect perfection!" attitude within the hobby but it seems like that is the prevailing attitude within the 20-40 year old generation right now. Sad. Good luck, dude!

I know.

I agree 100%. I don't know what the change of heart is about but its ****** to back out once you have the statue. I know. Its a known issue as I said in my claim with PayPal. I didn't mention it because several of us ran into it and it really doesn't cause a problem. If the statue was literally coming apart then I would have sent it back myself but it is still a solid polystone statue. The buyer claims otherwise. I understand you paid a decent chunk but you got exactly what was promised.

Damn that isn't right. This guy needs to be banned once this is all done.

Unless he has a history of bad behavior he won't. I did leave a negative.

YoNoSe said:

Any time I ran into this situation, the Buyer always balked at paying return shipping. You may still be in luck since you are sticking to your guns.

I'm trying. I completed my end of the deal and it was a promised so him backing out is BS.

re: (galactiboy's Cantina) "Where everybody knows your name..."

Do the Celebration events have vendors like Cons do? I haven't been to a Celebration event since Denver when they first started, but I know a lot has changed since then.

I just think it's funny when he leans back and just smirks. Plus he looks like Samwell Tarly from Game of Thrones.

Test it on fury first, then I'll ask him.

re: (galactiboy's Cantina) "Where everybody knows your name..."

I want an Asian aunt.

All I'm related to is Irish people, and we're all broke as ****.

re: (galactiboy's Cantina) "Where everybody knows your name..."

My Aunt doesnt give gifts because one year at christmas she got me a pillow with a tiger on it. I cried because I wanted a toy. I was less than 8 forsure. Looking back I feel bad about it but I was a kid with not a care.in the world.
Thought I would share how evil of a kid I was.

That's a heckuva grudge on your aunt's part. I kind of respect that. Did I mention I'm Irish?

I have no family, it's sad. My one Aunt lives in Texas and only cares about her horses. My other one lives an hour from me but cut me off for no reason other than she's a ****ing ****.
