Thank you guys! The friend of mine, whom I got the last batch of troops from, sold me 8 more for 75€ shipped. I had been looking for an affordable Riot Clone Trooper for a good while.

Found some more B-A-D parts online for 25€ shipped. This lot helped me complete another R5-C7.
Got my very first part of R4-P44 this time. Only need to find U-3PO's torso now.

I took the rare occasion and pulled the trigger on this set of legs without hesitation. This set is perfect for my incomplete AT-TE with only one leg, which I got for 20€ a while ago.
The pre-owner completed his with it and sold the rest to me for 30€ shipped. The Clone Trooper was part of an older lot of 25 and cost 2€.




Update:

Well, I know why I label my boxes. Saves me hours of lifetime when I look for specific items!






This AT-TE was played with outdoors. Sand and grass are still inside. I might take it apart completely.
I remember it had the front hatch. In worst case I have to make my own, but this is definitely for my first fully upgraded AT-TE repaint.

Heck yeah, I haven't seen one of those in awhile. Nice find and the extra legs are just nice.

I got a few computer consoles and chairs from Holeinthegroundpro.com this guy is one of the good ones.  This is an unsolicited testimonial, but id like to say resin is quality over 3d printed quantity. 3 are shown, I was using the other as a reference. I know it's an echo base computer, but where do you think the Rebels got the computers from?  All 4 has different decal stickers to go on. Let's wait for paint to dry.

Nice, definitely looks like great product. So much nicer than print.

I been really happy with the stuff I've ordered from him (plus he's one of us). I was thinking about those consoles, and seeing yours am more tempted to pull the trigger. They look really good.

Starchaser: That's a great idea! I was also going to place my first order at Hole in the Ground before my visit in Colorado in September. My only problem is that I won't have an address there to receive the parcel. I really need to go back to Michigan. It's been almost a decade since...

I had this Jedi Starfighter on my watchlist for a while. When the seller added a few custom Clones to his offerings I pulled the trigger. But I have to admit I thought it was Ahsoka's Jedi Starfighter. I wasn't even aware that Kit Fisto's exsisted! What about his Astromech Droid?



I always love when the original price tag is still on the box. 15,99€ was a great price at T.K. Maxx back then. And even the MRSP was 24,99-34,99€ here in Germany back in 2011.
Also love the diorama inlets for the Class II vehicle line. Miss those days. Good times.








These custom repaints will get a special place in my cabinet. I always admire the first customs of a customizer. It's amazing to see how skills develop with practice. My first customs were the TPM Battle Droids that replaced the CommTalk chips here in Europe. I applied the paint in similar thickness back in 2006...

Phillip, Wookieepedia lists Kit's droid as R6-H5, but then goes on to say he had another, R4-H5. In the Legacy droid factory two-pack Kit comes packed with R4-H5. So I think R4 is safe. He can be purchased (sometimes) for reasonable price on eBay.

Thanks a bunch, Jeff! Yeah, I'm going to customize R6-H5 using a TCW R2 from mighty TungHori. I got the Droid Factory 2-Pack on ebay yesterday for 24.52€ shipped. The TLC R4 is already in my collection, but I was missing the shirtless Senor Fisto. I really appreciate your research, Sir! Thank you a lot.
