Then, the episodes will move into their regular time slot at 10 PM on Wednesdays. Read the full story for more info!
Clonehead keeps rockin!
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, January 30 2009
What can we say, the guy is just going crazy. Now he has made the missing link of AT-AT drivers. If you have had thoughts about what the transition was from AT-TE drivers to AT-AT drivers and so forth, this is the one to take a peek at. He has taken the parts, modified em a bit, and produced a figure that Hasbro should make for an Heavy Vehicle Evolutions set in my opinion. Wouldn't we have all loved to see this type of figure instead of a regular clonetrooper in our AT-TE box last July!
Cloneheads starts a model section!
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, January 29 2009
Clint has been a Star Wars Fiend this month. His latest work is putting together and reviewing a new ARC-170 model. Lets just say that our Cloneheads knows his "P's" and "Q's" when it comes to anything in the realm of Star Wars fabrication! His latest custom build sure ain't huring ole Tamer's feelings either! Thanks for all the great stuff Clint!

Are you ready for Championship Sunday?
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, January 18 2009
I know I am! I can't wait for that afternoon game. I think it is gonna be a nailbiter all the way to the end! I wouldn't even be surprised with an overtime finish. What are your thoughts about today's games? Share your game day opinions in our NFL thread.
Sarge shows his Protos!
-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, January 17 2009
Our Reconsgt sure does have a bevy of great prototypes including; a rancor, a card dengar, a diecast landspeeder, and a 3 and 3/4 landspeeder. He also hinted that he has a few more stashed away and will get us some pics in the future. Be sure to see the vintage focus thread for all the great information.
Sten Hunter joins the Yards!
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, January 16 2009
Daggone, did he join with a blast too. Now everyone knows how much I like my heavy ground vehicles and Sten Hunter has created some custom heavy tanks that are over the top. I must say I was pleased with his AT-ST custom too. You will just have to look at his customs thread to see what I mean. Thanks for sharing your images with us Sten Hunter!
I took a trip down Memory Lane
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, January 14 2009
I am usually not to sappy when it comes to fond childhood memories, but viewing this photo ablum sure did put a smile on my face as I remembered my Star Wars upbringing. I can remember getting some of the same gifts, sleeping on some of those same sheets, and wearing some of those "corny" t-shirts. For those like me who sometimes like to remember the good ole days, this is a worthwhile indulgence.
Rodger gives us the final unveil
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, January 12 2009
Let the fabrication continue! Rodger from the New Sandcrawler Workshop has showed us his Tie Fighter Shelf II. He sure hasn't wasted any time getting started on his next project: a Cantina 4! Be sure to let him know what you think in his section in our forums too.
Wanna see how its Done?
-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, January 10 2009
I just can't get over the Customs Section lately. It just keeps getting better every look! If you have ever thought about customizing your own action figures and don't know where to start you need to look at our Customs Section. The latest has our Clonehead starting a resource thread showing how to do it from scratch. Thanks for sharing your tricks with us Clint!
Cimter continues the Custom thread!
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, January 9 2009
The Custom Section is going off the charts and the latest additon is from Cimter. He has gotten tired of waiting for Hasbro to produce the Marvel Star Wars Comic characters so he just made his own Jaxxon! Thanks for sharing your pics and information Cimter.
Sarge shows his Speeder!
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, January 8 2009
You are definitely gonna want to take a look at this. We all know our Sarge loves his Speeders. He liked the small Titanium Clone Swamp Speeder so much he made his own 3 and 3/4 inch scale Swamp Speeder from scratch! I have never seen such an engineering marvel!
Do you have force abilities?
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, January 7 2009
It looks like we will all get our shot to try out our force abilities! The Force Trainer (pictured above) will be available this coming fall for around $90 to $100 smackers. From what I understand, the headset will send a message via computer to a reciever allowing the ball to rise if you concentrate correctly! Move over Yoda, you just might have more competition. Sith beware!

The Customs just keep coming!
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, January 4 2009
I am loving how lively Clonehead and Customcloner are keeping our customs thread. Today's feature is of a lightsaber chopped Super Battle Droid made by our own Clonehead. He was using this piece as fodder for his own custom made Obi-Wan General that looks awesome. You will just have to click on through to see what I mean.
