Been a busy few weeks! Production finally got some decent heads to start turning out. The first two are on their way to their new home. I understand we've got another order waiting in the queue, as well. Very nice! Two more figures to finish out the first order and then the heads for a second. It's small, but it's a start!
The 'Yards admin have set up a contest - rather respectable winnings to be had, as well. The theme? A custom speeder. Build any non-spacegoing repulsorcraft and driver. I've already heard of at least two swoop-gangs planning to enter, with rumours of a third. Bren says he knows there's a racing speeder planning to show up, as well. Keke just smirks whenever the competition is mentioned. That worries me...
Speaking of Keke, I made a serious error today. I took her with me on a shuttle run to put some droid parts onto a freighter heading out. We did a little shopping on the way back. Well, it started out as a little... I picked up some minor supplies for the Station, but then I lost my sanity. I think she spiked that Narbian Cherry Cola she ordered us...
I ended up with 4 styro coolers, spackling compound & spreaders, air-drying clay (on clearance!), plastic bowls, and - an ROC Pit Commando! Yes, the locals had finally gotten in some of the new figs! Only Paris Pursuit fig out was the unhooded Storm Shadow. OOOOOooooooh, I wanted to shovel several figs into the cart! Cover Girl, Scarlett, the Baroness... I left them behind. Some of the others had good-looking parts, as well, and will no doubt be added into the rotation in the future. However, for a first-time buy of ROC fig's, I decided the Pit Commando had the highest value - FOUR pieces of headgear! FOUR weapons! Removeable armored vest! Backpack! Combat vest! Riot shield!
But I think I'll be counting my creds in the meantime so's I can score another one.
They also had the small Armadillo tank, the 4-wheeler, and the snowmobile. I have an idea for the Armadillo, and already have the ATAV snowmobile for a specific project. Love the look of those accelerator suits and the Desert Duke vest may have some potential, too.
But I think the girls will come first...
I best leave Keke at home...she managed to talk me into a new datajournal while I was ... distracted.
So, anyway, I have two R4 domes on the way in, and an R4 torso, too. Got a deal on another pile of speeder parts. Have too many ideas for air-speeder & swoop designs! Need to pick one and GET BUSY!
