Thanks guys, you are right Chris, they do seem to turn up in lots, but that's as I often get them from other baggie or ex baggie collectors m8, more exciting opening the package but worrying on the wallet.
Nice one Joe, interesting read & good to know the paint app is a common problem, another thing learned m8
& as for the hollow tubes - its a Nathan Edwards special :|
Lars - I do have a little side focus of MOC's but I only have a handful of them, I am collecting 77 back droids & have another little droid side focus.
