"Research" is what I got for passing something like 250 posts.

BTW, guys, that Joe shuttle/booster - for those who don;t know - dwarfs a 5-gallon bucket.  Too bad the foot-pegs are too big for SW fig feets!!

do you have a dremel?

I fixed a lot of my joe feet with one, :)

I have that other booster boxed up, by the way, no idea what shipping will be.

Yup, I do.  I figure I'll remove and/or reduce the size of the pegs.  That's a LOT of pegs!!

Dig around and see if you have the proper diameter wire for a foot peg, Doc. It might go quickly to just cut em off, drill some holes, and glue in some wire lengths. Dont forget that touchup paint.

Oh, that joker is gonna go in for a complete refit and overhaul!!  Why didn't I think of the wire footpeg replacement?  I've got wire in every conceivable size...

Electrical wire might work. What's a farmer like you doing without a roll or two of fence fixing tie wire, Doc?
 Are you a farmer? You mentioned chickens/livestock

a kriffing REPUBLIC FIGHTER TANK!!!

his ads say the stuff is 90% - some paintloss, or may have variant colors or accessories.  So, yeah, I'm betting he does have factory rejects.  For fodder??  I can handle paint-loss, as I may repaint the whole bloody fig as it is!

that tank is already out over here

and that barrel roll is just resolute duke from the five pack with a new head, maybe its new, I don't have that fig in front of me, LOL.

I bought a joe fig last month off EBay from hong kong, but sadly, it just made me want the figures more, lol.
