Sideshow 1/6 Imperial Probe Droid

[JCFETT]

I prefer the snow base also but not enough to pay extra on the aftermarket for a first run.

So you're banking on a new Probe coming in the foreseeable future? I feel like you feel how I feel about the Dewback. Well, I guess we'll see in 10 years lol.

Have you not been keeping up with the thread?
Probot is being rereleased

 

[ScruffyNerfHerder]

Of course this gets re-released right after I decided to drop money on an aftermarket one lol.... I swear I have no luck when it comes to timing with this stuff. At least I got a decent deal on it relative to what it was going for on ebay.

Unfortunately I need the $$ so I will be selling mine soon. The worst part is I haven't even opened the package to display this beauty.....

I wonder how hard/costly it would be to create a custom snow base. It's really just a white cover with rocks on top of that base..

Get some ice and snow from the freezer and you're done

Looks great! The clear rod mod is so easy and cheap yet it adds so much.

The clear rod makes a huge difference

Definitely. From a distance, metal pole makes it look like a prop on diplay. Acrylic rod makes it look like the real thing hovering over Hoth icy landscape.

Exactly

AWESOME!!!! That's how you need this displayed.

Sorry jkno I just had to respond.

Yep, it's 3/8".

Is there a good source for readily available 3/8" acrylic rod? There seems to be a lot of variability with regard to clarity and quality looking in the usual places.

I got some to prop lego ships up off their bases: Amazon.com: acrylic rod

Thats very helpful. Thanks. I'm definitely going to use an acrylic rod.

A question for those who have replaced the rod with an acrylic one: Is the black rod permanently attached to the base (with glue or something) or are the base, rod and the probe droid separate pieces? I would be relieved if I don't have to start dismantling the base with tools

Edit: I guess I should have mentioned its the "new" version without the snow-base I'm wondering about. I'm just assuming they will have the same main components, minus the snow and rocks.

 

[Invictus Sol]

All seperate pieces, Henry. No dismantling required.

I forget what batteries this droid took as I need to get some for the dome to light up again
