I paid a 50% deposit. It would be nice, and appropriate, to get an update or some kind of communication. I had someone on eBay vanish about a year ago after taking a commission as well. I like to support projects like these but I've had some disheartening experiences. It's made me really...

Ever since Sideshow stopped sending their shipping box codes I've made most of my purchases from BBTS. But a few weeks ago I wanted a figure that wasn't in stock at BBTS, so I ordered it from Sideshow. About a day or two after placing the order I received a message in my Sideshow account (as...

I have two:

Your setup looks great! I checked out your collection site too and will be back to check in on your display... speaking of which, are those custom acrylic cases or does anyone sell them stock? If custom would you mind sharing the dimensions? Either way, my second royal guard just arrived and...

Thanks DW and Mr. E. The display (and collection) is always a work in process, and at some point I'd like to have some custom shelving built, but that will part of updating the Vintage basement.... Then again, the faux wood panelling and the original drop ceiling may pre-date some of the...

Here's a few of the vintage Star Wars collection (and a couple of Vintage Indy figures). I got a promotion a few months ago and, like I assume most people would do, I decided to treat myself to a Vinyl Cape Jawa and a Double Telescoping Luke... And a couple of the selves...

I love when this thread has some action! I just had to do a little research on that figure. I don't remember them, but a 3 3/4 Arnold would have been at the top of my wish list had I know... very cool! Where did you find him? I'm going to take a couple of shots of my vintage shelves to see...

Thainitty - did your expansions arrive together in a single shipment? I received an order fulfillment/shipping e-mail on the 14th and a package arrived on the 17th (for reference, I'm in Chicago and went with the free shipping option). Unfortunately the package only included the Frodo kit. I...

I recently received a pretty big promotion at work (it's all relative, but for my line of work I would consider it a big one). It's for a position I thought would likely take another 5 years to have a realistic chance. So as evidence that I am mature beyond my years and ready for the job I...

Count me in as well! I sent you an e-mail with my confirmation. I'm in for the TruScale but will also stay on the lookout for an Ultimate.

JKNO - the MR At-At is a thing of beauty! It's pieces like that that remind me that quality > quantity.... even if I haven't always been able to stick to that plan. I collect and display a fair number of 1/6 figures and accessories but Star Wars is what got me started and the only license I'm...

Wow! So many great displays in here the last couple of days. I love these threads when the logjam of pre-orders starts to break free! Jaymig926 - great setup! I'm going to unbox Zuckess and Dengar tomorrow and reunite them with the rest of the lineup in a besta, but I'd like to have the...

Re: 1/6 Wampa- WIP (Wampa in Progress)- Figures in Progess! These are looking great! I'm getting excited. Salacious Crumb is the perfect backdrop for any WIP pictures of a wicket beast like the Wampa. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get it? He's beautiful (in a Star Wars creature...

Much appreciated, and let me add that you are both a gentleman and a scholar Edit: Based on this info Sideshow estimated $28 to Chicago, give or take a couple of bucks. I had $350 in RPs and also cancelled my James Bond pre-order, so I'm almost able to convince myself that I'm getting this...

I'm looking for a little help... Can anyone who has received this share the shipping specs? The weight is probably good enough but if you have the box dimensions that would be helpful too. I've search online and sent an inquiry to efx but who knows if I'll hear back. I'm trying to get a...
