bummer, i chose between the palace guns and picked the wrong one. I think you should try to buy those figures complete instead of trying to just pick up the guns |

| Again, GREAT finds everyone : ) I had these guys arrive today. PBP Lando blue pants deep scar, Tri/PBP Luke Pilot deep scar, PBP AT AT Driver made in and no coo (this was thrown in as a gift with my Tri Fett), YPS Imperial Trooper hard torso no coo scarred out and Trilogo Fett with painted knee and painted dart (this ends my Fetts, I got this one because he had different color applications from my other....).  Also.... I got this hand painted First Shot Chewbacca and his First Shot Bowcaster. He came from the same 2004 Earth find that my First Shot Blue Snag came from....  Here's the actual Earth photo Kathy sent out back in 2004. Mine is the one circled. Thanks for looking guys : ) -Steve  |

| It's amazing what a little boiling water, toothbrush, detergent and some wire wool can do. I picked up this Takara Stormtrooper a few weeks ago for $86. I'm not sure what was melted to the front but with some careful hardwork I managed to remove it without too much damage. The chest is a little scuffed but I'm pretty happy with the result. Especially for the price. He cleaned up pretty nice too and I've even managed to straighten his legs.   |

| Cool stuff guys.
I saw that Takara Stormie & thought someone might have got a bargain. Great that the muck cleaned off the front ok. Looks very presentable (& worth a hell of a lot more than $86 now). Well done! |

 Nice Clean up Oli, i was bidding on that one aswell, but i did not wanted to go to high as i only wanted it for the Japan COO leg. It did went higher as i expected, and i must say i am suprised how well you could clean it up. If you look at the figure now, it was a steal for that price. congrats on taking you chances. |

| Great pick ups everyone! The Chewy and Stormy are awesome. I have many Starting Lineup prototypes that were the original ones from catalogs and commercials. |
