Y'know... I think I actually have one tucked off in storage.  Seems like I grabbed "Raid on the Pit" or something - had 4 or so figs and a Mole Pod.  (If I had known about TJ Maxx, I think I was right next door to one Sunday.  But it's well over an hour away from here...)

dag that sucks Doc.  Yeah TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross Stores, and Five Below seem to be the discount chains that have lots of older figures for really cheap, and if you hit them when they red-tag items you can find figures and vehicles for as little as $1.  Meijer stores are great for deep discounts in January and June when they discount everything toy wise. 

I had an epic, epic collection of 25th ann. GI JOEs that I got from a Ross stores in PA in 2010 - I don't think I paid over $1 a piece for the figures and $3 for the battle packs.  I paid about $100 in total had most (if not all) of the main characters and vehicles I wanted.  I sold a lot of it online last year to fund my further cantina obsessions ;)

Work has held me up a bit the last 2 weeks on finishing that Mando speeder - glad to get some finally - but it just needs maybe a night's worth of work before it's done, so keep an eye out!

Finally got around to finishing this guy last night...

A few quick pictures of a Mandalorian Speeder Bike.





Hopefully in the next few days I can take a few more shots of this one.

Excellent creation, I'd love to see a rider figure for it!

Thanks so much guys. HB I will have a few more pictures in the next few days.

This one came out so much better than I thought it would.  I'm glad you guys are into it!

A few days turned into over a month...
well this time I'm moving to Europe, and I've been trying really hard to figure out how I'm going to get my collection across the pond.

Anyway I have some updates later with more pictures of this one, a WIP on a new speeder, and some new figures in the figure thread.

So here's a few more shots of the Mando speeder.

I don't really have any mandolorians that can sit on the bike.






The middle guy in the above image is a new figure I made recently.





...And here's a WIP of my next speeder.  Who knows when I'll be able to finish it, I'm not sure if I'm going to take it with me overseas...




I have so much stuff that I want to bring, but not sure what I should... I have a BMF, the giant cantina spread in my collection thread... a ton of other 3.75 stuff... it's just insane to think of that, plus all the other japanese and other figures... it's tough picking between all this stuff.  Eventually I'll move it all as years pass, but I don't want to pay for a lot of stuff in storage fees an ocean away. anyway... I will be doing customs over there too, and definitely starting a diorama or two for my collection's permanent home ;)

thanks for looking!
