[typerdibiasi]

It's been a fun month. New to the 1:6 scene and I am totally addicted. A few of my favorite gangster movie characters have arrived as well as my 2 favorite Martial Artists. And I feel like a little kid on Christmas.. Lol. Wife thinks I'm crazy but oh well. Say hello to: Tony Montana, Carlito Brigante, George Jung, Frank Lucas, Nino Brown, Jet Li and The master himself Bruce Lee. More on the way.

Nice haul bro I love those Blitzways

Small haul yesterday since saving for a bigger figure

 

[jkno]

I finally got an original and mint full metal MGC (Model Gun Corporation - Japan) Stormtrooper blaster, and it is one of the best conversions I've seen. These are the E-11 blasters used by Stormtroopers in ROTJ (together with Pugman resin versions). True prop collectors know how rare these things are, especially good conversions - and this had a great voyage from US to me. It still misses a small greeblie, but I will get that separately and add it myself.

The Stormtrooper blaster comes with:

• Aluminum scope rail
• Accurate Weaver Scope Ring
• Aluminum Scope with separate glass lens (from Boba Debt's last run)
• Aluminum Barrel Rails
• Accurate Mr. Sparkle Hammer Greeblies
• Real RO72 Sight
• Lightly weathered

And it also came with the original MGC cardboard box from the 80's, which is insanely cool. Now to make some plaques and a cool metal stand.

Thanks Chris!

Thank you. Yeah they did. In ANH most of the Imperial guns came from real world guns: the classic Stormtrooper blaster is a British Sterling Mk4 L2A3 SMG, the big DLT-19 rifle is in fact a WW2 German MG-34, the Sandtrooper's dual ammo magazine rifle called RT-97C is the German MG-15, the Sandtrooper's big gun Blastech T-21 is a Lewis Mark I machine gun (without the round ammo magazine). And other various real guns were used by Han, Luke, Leia, Fett and some of the bounty hunters. To most of these guns the talented guys at ILM added various parts and greeblies (scopes, t-tracks, etc.).

Now in ROTJ Lucas didn't want to mess up with real guns anymore, not even deactivated (too much paperwork I guess) - for example in Tunisia they had to use Sterlings with the back part cut up and replaced by aluminum, and without trigger, to accommodate the Tunisia laws. Thus in ROTJ they used the old resin Pugman Sterling also present in ESB, and the MGC Sterling. The MGC Sterling is a copy of the Canadian C1 Sterling which differs from the Mk4 (used as a base in ANH and ESB). The greeblies and parts on the ROTJ blasters also differ from the ones present in ANH or ESB E-11 blasters.

It is mind boggling to see how great the creativity of the talented guys at ILM worked out in the films!

You can see here an awesome video of a MGC Sterling firing blanks:

My Bruce Banner came last week. I just took him out and put him up. Not sure how i really want to pose him. Ideally i get a Hulk to put behind him.

I picked up the Transformers 4 collectors edition for only $25 just for the statue.

I didn't know where else to ask this, but I bought a couple in stock items from BBTS about three days ago and they still haven't shipped. Anyone know what's up with that? My experience was that they always shipped within a day of ordering.

Depends on the items. I have had stuff take a week to ship out that was "in stock" I would not worry yet.

 

[AIR]

Thanks. I'm not worried, I'm just used to them shipping right away.
