LOL! Don't push me, Pat. All I need is to get into a line like this. They would make some great custom opportunities, though. ::)

Clint, they definitely do.  As frustrating as their customer service can be, they do make some really nice things.  I am at the point where I'd much rather spend $50 for a nice mini bust than that same amount on ANYTHING from Hasbro.  I'd like to get about half a dozen more Episode III clones for customs!  Besides, when you come up for Wizard World, you'll see how you can get a lot for half price or less!

Tamer had already warned me that those Wizard World prices were what got him hooked, Pat. If I am able to show up for that, I am going to have to pack two extra suitcases just to haul the goodies home with.

Poor Pat, I am already asking him to look for some of the newer Hoth items. I even saw they are gonna make a Hoth Leia bust too.

You may have to cobble together another display area, buddy.

Wouldn't be a problem for me, Greg, if I can make it.

Well getting back to the new scores, another one arrived today.

OT Han Solo Animated Maquette,

 As of now I am indiffernt on the piece, I thought it would look a little better and stand better, this one has slotted foot pegs in the base and 1 steel peg to hold the maquette up, and it is a little unstable.

 It does display well with the ACME character key however, This one is #424 of 3000,

No Sarge, you aren't...I'm waiting for the summer conventions to hit so I can stock up!  The TIE pilot is definitely on my list to look out for at WWC!
