I'm still here guys i just don't get much time to chat I've been working all sorts of different shifts at work and tend to just have a quick scan to see what's the latest news.
I'll try and take a few photo's at some time of weapon variations but its nothing you haven't seen before on RS or here, got my eye on a stormtrooper blaster variation on ebay at the moment. I've got a nice loose Death Star droid i can take a photo of i bought from darth plagueis on Ebay with good paint and tight limbs, it took about seven atempts to get one with good paint and limbs though.

good to see you are still around

be careful of Darth Plagueis - there are some strong opinions on Mr Richard Torres :twisted:

Welcome back Good to see a return poster even after some mild abuse

When you get that DSD make sure its not been repainted black, take some macro pictures and post them here if you aren't sure !

You can clearly see that its a paler shade of blue and not like the others.

That second one in on the left looks like the discoloured 'gold' dome variant that seems to be popular at the moment for variant collectors(me included i have one LOL :lol: ) Seen one or two go for a princely sum on ebay just lately.

 

[gustie]

yes its a gold laquered top


how much they going for?? the LEFT one is early bird too

Thanks gustie, Is that the only difference or are there some more subtle differences on the sticker. I've noticed on some R2's a difference in dimension at point 1 on my photo and variation at point two, is this just variation or a sign of a fake sticker? I know some repro stickers have a different finish more shiny than an original.

i think some of the solid top ones are different to sensorscope ones ETC... and the pop up ones are slightly different
