Re: TVC General Discussion Thread.

was searching in the attic the other day getting the christmas decorations down and i found my original slave 1 which i have had since about 1982/1983.although the box has long since dissapeared and it is missing the han solo in carbonite "figure" it came with it is otherwise complete and in great overall condition

[Jcc2224]

I think I'll get to work on that. Though I want to do it after Christmas, considering all the figures I'll be getting then.

[endor]

you should,you wont regrett it,if you get the vc villain set [vader,stormtrooper and death star trooper] just be aware the stormtrooper in the pack is actually the vc SANDtrooper made to look like a stormie.it has the slot in the back to fit the sandie backpack,its missing the blaster holster [wrong for a stormie but correct for a sandie] and the neck is too tall,in order to fit the shoulder pouldron on and make the head / helmet fit more realistically

[Jcc2224]

I got that pack a while ago knowing about that stormie. I like it a lot, actually.

[endor]

dont get me wrong,its a great pack,just wish they put an actuall stormie in it,or if the wanted to put a sandie in it,give him his missing bits and put sandtrooper on the box,anyway it must be getting late where you are,so if you want to shut down for the night feel free

[endor]

picked up 2 of the vc rebel hero 3-packs yesterday

[Jcc2224]

The Leia ones? I was temped to get those, but once Christmas comes I'll already have 2 of each (One Leia will go in my Hoth setup, both Hoth Rebels will, one 2-1B will be in Hoth, one Leia will be "Bespin Escape" (no vest), and the other 2-1B will be the one in ROTJ)

[endor]

no,the other1 with old ben,anh han solo and luke x-wing pilot

[Jcc2224]

Oh. I got that one a while back, too. Even though I have three of those Bens and 2 of those Lukes, I only have 1 Han.

[endor]

reason i got 2 is to swap heads over so i
now have luke and han in stormtrooper disguise

[Jcc2224]

I got those separately for 7.5 each. My main concern right now is getting another VOTC Han for my Cantina.

[endor]

yu could try brians toys.did i tell you about the 2 biker scouts i have displayed as motorcycle cops....they are on 1/18 scale bmw r1100rt-p police bikes in the CHiPs colour scheme,colours match the biker scouts perfectly and they are also a perfect fit

[Jcc2224]

Yeah. After X-mas I'll have 3 Episode 4 Hans: VOTC, Headset, and Celebration. I may put the VOTC with the Cantina (along with my extra ROTS Chewie), the Headset some other place, and the celebration with my Episode 4 guys. Yeah, I think I'll do that.

[endor]

sounds like a cool little display idea you have there,please go for it

[endor]

you got any of the vc rebel fleet troopers?

[Jcc2224]

sounds like a cool little display idea you have there,please go for it

Right now all of my options are open, for I've taken down all of my figures and am going to re-do them after Christmas.

And on the RFT's, I have 1 TVC one and the 2 from the Tantive pack.

[endor]

cool pic,are the ones from the tantive pack the same as the vintage collection trooper?

[Jcc2224]

No, their a re-tool of the POTJ RFT with a new head and removable helmet.

[endor]

i see,still look okay to me,unless they are the same rtf shown as the "original" rtf on the back of the vc trf card

[Jcc2224]

Hell no. I wouldn't buy that thing, it's awful .

[endor]

tell me about it,it is too muscluar [looks like a wrestler] weapons are WAY over scale,it has no neck,helmet is the wrong shape and his combat trousers [pants] are not only trhe wrong colour but the look like tights

[Jcc2224]

It looks almost not human to be honest. But we got some nice figures out of that line.

[endor]

that 2-1b looks okay

[Jcc2224]

Yeah, I have one right now I'll use for my ever-growing Echo base, and I'll be getting another to use as the 2-1B tortured by Jabba.

[endor]

excllent idea
