Clonehead is closing down entries for his custom parts contest on Monday. Be sure to get your picture entered in the contest picture thread. Don't forget it needs to have the words Imperial Shipyards.Net somewhere in the pic. Good luck.
DocOutlands and family are getting to it!
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, May 29 2009
Talk about a family affiar. Doc and son are producing some great custom items and sharing images. Doc has tried his hand at mold making and has made a daggone nice first mold if I do say so myself. His padawan has made the two great customs pictured above and boy do I like that airborne mod. Great work!
Issue #7 now showing
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, May 29 2009
If you have been following, "Threat of Peace"you know that this is really starting to get good. This time we get to see the Sith temple and a slight arguement between two Sith as well as more of that great Wookie bounty hunter. See the offical website to see the full release.
Clonehead reviews the Shark-170!
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, May 28 2009
He really liked this one. I don't see what there is not to like either. Still, we both wish the droid sockets they make would correctly fit a full size astromech! Be sure to read his full review.

This is the squad that Doc built!
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, May 26 2009

Get your Boil!

Well that sounds kinda gross, but you know what I mean if you have watched The Clone Wars. This is the clone troop that has the hash marks on his helmet. Our Clonehead is offering up this custom auction for a one of a kind figure. You can bet, even if Hasbro makes this fig, it won't be as detailed as Clint's.
New Legacy figure reviewed!
-- Posted by Clonehead on Saturday, May 23 2009
My buddy Tamer found and sent me one of the new Legacy Collection figures that I had been wanting and I had to open up this Hoth Rebel trooper right away and see what he was like.
Check out his review and find others in our Hasbro Toy Review Board
Send an E-Card for Father's Day!
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, May 22 2009
Why not sent the Dad in your life a pretty cool E-Card in time for Father's Day. I also saw they had a pretty cool anniversary card too. I wonder if my wife would like it as much as I do? They cost $.99 cents to send, but they are pretty well designed and give a good preview of what it will look like when played as well as giving you a good amount of personalization!
This place is going customs crazy again!
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, May 22 2009
I am loving all the action the customs threads are recieving lately; including this great snow camo Veers that is in the works. DocOutlands is working with some great color, Spudafett just posted some new pics, and Narceron is making some great "V" soliders from Imperial Soldiers. Please don't forget that Clonehead also has another great contest open for some great custom parts!
And the customs keep coming!!
-- Posted by Clonehead on Thursday, May 21 2009
Our new forum member, Narceron, posted pics of some imperials altered to represent characters from the Movie and TV series "v"' in the thread that he calls Why so Sirius?,
I think that this is a pretty cool idea and that his figures represent a convincing portrayal of the alien soldiers in the series.
New Clone Wars figure found?
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, May 21 2009
Clonehead won an ebay auction from the Far East and look what showed up in his mailbox. Is this a new The Clone Wars figure due to come out in the future? Should we look to get our new waves from Hong Kong or Malaysia so we can get em months ahead of schedule? I don't know, but the pics Clonehead posted sure make me wonder!
DocOutlands joins the customizing team!
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, May 20 2009
As you can see, he is making some great creations. He is also starting up a droid team that is really rocking with a type of burgundy paint. Be sure to check out his custom's thread to see all his goodies as well as how he "teams up" to play Battlefront!
Star Wars: The Old Republic Comic update!
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, May 19 2009
Looks like Issue #6 is now out to see. Boy, this back story is sure getting interesting and we have seen some great new characters already. I can't wait to see the game!
Whats in your store?
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, May 19 2009
Clonehead gave us a visual report for his KC stores and boy was it interesting to see 5 Juno Eclipses on the pegs. Do you have a local area you hit regulary? Start a report in our Local finds board so we can see what goodies show up in your stores!
See the pro in action
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, May 18 2009
Clonehead has added yet even more new molds to his vast horde. The guy just shows how everything is done. Is there anything he can't do? It sure doesn't seem like it!
Is this great or what!
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, May 18 2009
My gal just celebreted her third Bday yesterday, but she didn't get a cake like this. Clonehead put me onto this via Yoda's news.com and it seems this came from Slipperybrick.com. If you scroll down the page you will notice some other great walker additions. Just great stuff!
New custom guy on the loose!
-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, May 16 2009
I came back from my mini-vacation only to find some great new Star Wars customs in the Custom's threads. You are gonna have to come admire Spudafett's great additions. He is giving his figures some great articulation and custom building walkers of all things!
The Empire Striles Back Legacy Wave found!
-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, May 16 2009
My Wallyworld was good to me this past Wednesday evening as I was headed out for a little mini-vacation. This has been the first thing I have picked up off the pegs in a long time. The Hoth Soldier and Ugnaught look awesome! We would love to see what goodies you are finding our our latest purchases thread.

Clonehead reviews the ARC-170 battlepack
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, May 13 2009
There is not much he didn't like with this set. It was interesting to read the slight differences he found with some of these figures. Still, all in all, Clint gave this one two thumbs up. He likes his clones!
Who would win?
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, May 12 2009
This hilarious video shows just how the Enterprise would fair against "firepower of that magnitude." Found at theforce.net, this was indeed good for a chuckle if you need one!

Rodger of the New Sandcrawler Workshop has added some updates to his Cantina IV Bar scene in his section here at the Shipyards. You will just have to look at the pics to appreciate the finesse. Thanks for the update Rodger!
let's give Commander Ponds another go
-- Posted by Clonehead on Monday, May 11 2009
I finished my 2nd attempt at a Clone Wars Commander Ponds figure, today. I think that this one may have turned out better than the first. You can find plenty of pictures and in-production commentary in my customs thread. You can find a link to his auction on the homepage of my ebay store, or in my Ebay store and auctions thread.

Every Lego created!
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, May 6 2009
Take a look at gizmodo.com and check out thier poster of every lego mini-figure ever produced. I am not a collector of SW Lego myself. Still, these different additions sure do open a nice line for Star Wars collecting!
Look at this Purple RC!
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, May 6 2009
We don't know where our Clonehead was hiding this one, but he updated his customs thread with some great new pics of his custom RC figures with mini-dios. They are simply amazing! Clint, you keep coming up with better and better additions!
From around the Web!
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, May 5 2009
It has been awhile since I have done one of these, but here goes; first, the graphic above is a cool image from a game system designed by alienware.com. Man, I would love to own one of those. Next, I also found out we missed "May the 4th be with you" yesterday. I do hate to miss a holiday, but the floodwater was a rising where the Tamer lived. It did spark this great Internet debate over what age to let your kids watch Star Wars though. Finally, it looks like Hasbro lost some profit! Star Wars and Nerf finished strong, but the other lines fell. Hasbro, why don't you focus more on SW offerings? That should have been a wake up call! Those are just a few of my thoughts.
Big custom pic update!
-- Posted by Clonehead on Tuesday, May 5 2009
Yesterday, I had the contest mando to ship out, and a couple of other projects wrapping up at the same time so to celebrate, I posted 25 big pictures of them in my customs thread. Go take a look. You will like the bigger pics.
