« Last post by Starchaser on April 22, 2024, 07:21:05 PM »Another member of the Wandering Star cell:
Tevvo Borr - not all Rodians make it as hunters. Some are simply too impatient to track and too implusive to bring in a live bounty. Tevvo started life as the youngest and smallest of eight brothers. He was constantly beaten up and the brunt of jokes, as a result, he grew up angry and isolated. He became fast with a blaster and used his toughness to his advantage, eventually earning the right to be a hunter. Tevvo, though, had other ideas, lacking the patience to hunt and any sense of connection to his family and culture. When got off planet he went looking for some organization that would let him play the role of "enforcer" and work out his pent-up frustration. He was recruited by Wandering Star to provide additional muscle to one of their cells.
Recipe:
Head and hands = POTF Greedo
Torso, arms and skirt = Pirates Tai Huang
Legs = Clone pilot ROTS
PS - I added backstories to the other two members of the gang - Onk Foe and Kharph Mest (back one page).

Misc. non Star Wars / Re: New, Non-Star Wars Purchases

All of these dinosaurs and other creatures (plus some horses for my niece and nephew) were in a bag for $3.99!
The 3 largest dinos are original "Jurassic Park III" figures from 2000 made by Hasbro. You gotta love finding 24 year old toys in great condition for next to nothing 😁
The Kong figure is missing the removeable skin "damage" piece, but I can sculpt over that before repainting him.

Thanks, Jeff! It was the last one and I took him with me. It felt like a clearance find at ROSS for $3.99!
Today I went back there because a friend of mine wanted the MOTU Snake Trooper, but they were all gone.

I would have had a hard time walking away from that Lego ATTE and the Castle Greyskull. I still don't know how I have passed that line up.
Yes, I was surprised to see that Vader bust on shelves. To me it came out of nowhere.
The LEGO AT-TE is great for under 100 bucks. Two of my friends got the Castle Greyskull for over 70% off MRSP and have no regrets.

Online and Retail Stores / Re: AliExpress
« Last post by DarthHawk on April 21, 2024, 09:25:17 AM »Last Friday, one of my students told me that he had ordered something through Ali express
and the package arrived empty. He also said this wasn't the first time something he ordered
from Ali express arrived damaged or incorrect.
My response was this.
"Consider where Ali express is based and who controls Ali express."
Took him about 2 seconds to reply, china???
I then told him "consider the source."
Nuff said. He just shook his head.
