es SA up Edit: Sorry for this post. My phone was unlocked in a pocket of my bathing trunks (while I was wearing them) and it somehow managed to post this nonsense above.

Family reunion :clap With the second snowie I wasn't so lucky and had to pay import taxes and customs duties which is okay because I took them into account. What I wasn't prepared for were the 24€ the mail-order firm charged for handling customs. :horror:eek

so...the one from toyshome2014/Beijing went through customs and arrived 2 days ago. I did not have to pay any fees/taxes which means I got him for about 15€ below retail. :rock2 The packaging was good and everything is in excellent condition. I'm glad I bought it, it is such a great figure...

My two packages are at customs now. I hope I can pick them up sometime next week.

I just tracked both my orders on my national post site. Both say "Departure from outward Office of Exchange". But one package comes from Beijing and the other one from Shanghai. So I guess toyshome2014 and toysking2012 aren't the same person...

Let's take the shoulder swivel joint which is shown in the picture as example. Basically you wrap the thread around the arm a couple of times to secure it. Then you start wrapping it inside the joint by squeezing it into the gap between the two parts of the joint. If you can't get it in use a...

Now I have to show how I am currently displaying my Grievous. I had some similar ideas regarding the kicking and choking and finally managed to combine both in one scene that fits onto a detolf-shelf. Here it is: Grievous would actually stand by himself in this pose but I decided to play safe...

Here is how mine is displayed at the moment: I removed the sleeves, water treated the clothes and "fixed" the joints. And this is what I have done with the joints: I took some sewing thread and wrapped it around/inside the joints until they had the desired stiffness. I know it's not a good...
