I need help with my R2-D2 custom!!!!
« on: December 13, 2009, 06:12:05 PM »
 Hi fellow collectors. I have not been on here for a long time and I am glad I am back. I hope all is well with everyone. Anyways, I bought some of  R2-D2 (build-a -droid) figures. Which just came  with the second " A New Hope" wave. I was looking for a good custosmizer to help me fix those R2-D2s. I was wondering if anyone could get rid of the pop up sensorscope. If someone can fix it to where it and the panel wont pop up but still, I can turn his head 360 degrees. Can anyone do this. If so, please let me know. Thanks guys. Again I am glad to be back on here. Oh ,it was good to see ya at my job( Toys R Us) Tammer.  God bless guys

I wish your toysrus had the new ESB wave! Yes, it was good to catch up a bit even if it was  a bit crowded.

I am sure our customizers here could sure take care of this astromech issue.

Haha, I bet he's the same R2 that came with the Shield Generator Assault pack! You should go look up that pack and see if he is... If so, I might go ahead and take mine apart (because that's the one I have) and see if I can't get that stupid scope feature to not be automatic. I'd really like to just make it so that you can raise it up regardless of where his head is (by just lifting it with your finger), and spinning his head won't change its position. This is the pack I have: http://www.rebelscum.com/tlcBPShieldGeneratorAssault.asp

  It has the same feature but it's  " Jawa Atack" one. That just came out in the New Hope Wave. Anyone have any ideas on how I can do this custom? Thanks guys.

 "Well blow me down!!!" I done it.  I just took a wrench and set R2, to where the scope is sticking out, and just yanked it out. It took some time but it worked. Like pulling teeth..lol. Thus, R2s head still clicks. Now all I have to do is clue in the top panel.  " The circle is now complete."  Mission accomplished. ;D

 Thanks pal. It's beginning to look a lot like Hoth in VA, huh?

  Tamer, did you ever find The Empire Strikes Back wave yet, pal?  You should check the Wal-Mart in Martiansburg, WVA. I have found a lot of new figures there. Check it out.

Yeah, Blizzard Force I would need. I would assume its pretty bad down there too. Stay warm.

If you are out and about and see that ESB wave I would sure appreciate a pm.

 I'll have my friend take pics once I'm done with the R2s. Plus show other figures I custumed and fixed up. Later,pal.
