VarthDader/Stringfellow - Start this over

[VarthDader]

Starting this over, seeing that things may have started on the wrong foot here. Didnt know that in order to get others talking or responding to you, you need to get your introductions done here, so im here to set things right, as per this unspoken rule of MySciFiFan.Let's see how this turns out.....

Hi, im Stringfellow on other forums, VarthDader here, only started collecting 4,5 months back when i got my first Star Wars related item, the Luke ESB Force FX lightsaber. Have been collecting feverishly ever since.

My idea of collecting revolves around two ideals:- Detailed and Bad Guys ONLY. Item collected must be detailed, and with the exception of the droids and the Star Wars vehicles, everything else must be Sith/Bounty Hunter related.

Feel free posting any other enquiries, and i'll be glad to answer them.I'd post what i have in my collection, but id rather not step on other people's tails while being new, in here, by MySciFiFan's definition.

Hullo, there. Make yourself at home, VarthDader and hope you will enjoy your stay here. Your collection sounds interesting. Perhaps you have a pic or two to share too? Cheers!

I dont think i miss any. Most if not all item WILL BE out of the box once redecoration of the display room is complete at the end of this year.SEarching for custom racks for the Force FX lightsabers, more akin to pool cue racks, but custom made. There is a theme to my collection, i dont collect all items in a particular series unnecessarily, unless they are small figures like the Tomy Dioramas.The theme is "Bad Guys OWNS Good Guys" with a few exceptions (The droids are essential neutral-aligned, while other figures like Stass Allie comes with the vehicles that i want). Also only accepting figures and items of good detail, unless the plan is to pair certain smaller figures with their bigger counterparts( Hasbro 3.75 C3PO pair with Gentle Giant C3PO, 3.75 R2 with the bigger R2, and so on and so forth).

For pics, they can be found at this thread in Play forum:-

The purchases are progressive, so you'd have to scan the thread for my posts of my hauls there.

These are my recent acquisitions:-

Kotobukiya Ep.2 Clone Trooper . Got this after having to travel to unit Tahan Pos in KLIA (damn bastard kastam!), but got it without taxation, coz quoted price on invoice is less than RM200.


Complete Star Wars Style "A" Sculpted vintage 3D Posters from Code 3 under the Legendary Casts series. Got this after shipping mistake from US supplier from Collectorsgalleryonline.com, after i have cancelled order 2 months back. Supplier apologizes for mistake, i was enraged that i was charged for something that i dont want/have cancelled months back, but the US supplier begs me, to take the shipment, after i have confirmed that i receive less than retail price/distributor's price for all three posters. End result? I got three things that i dont really want, but at RM250 each. Whatever lah, as long as the resell values of these are intact, since they are limited to 3000 edition quantities worldwide.




Same motifs as how the recent Error/Corrected Vader #2 is, with the red hot lava designs.


A closer look at the awesome detailings and weathering effect painted on the statue. Kotobukiya has outdone themselves, this one looks authentic enough for it to jump out of the battles and into your hands! Bloody real! :shock:


One last look at our youngling-killing, Jedi-slaughtering, absurdly-cool-looking Clone Trooper!

This figure has shot up to become the most beautiful looking Koto statue that i have in my possession.Go get yours NOW! Preordered folks will get them at RM320, non-preorder folks will get them at between RM350-366, depending how gracious your seller is.
