I think so to...they cut corners on the materials.

2020-11-10 03:52:12 UTC  

Yep. And they're trying to force people into collecting six-inch stuff, but not making any extras for it.

2020-11-10 03:52:34 UTC  

The lightsabers?

2020-11-10 03:52:43 UTC  

Figures and vehicles.

2020-11-10 03:53:53 UTC  

Oh, maybe some comicon stuff, but the store bought stuff everyone has.

2020-11-10 03:54:41 UTC  

I mean the regular store stuff. They're trying to phase out the 1:18th scale SW figures and such for 1:12th scale.

2020-11-10 03:55:44 UTC  

They also released a new line of "high-end" Joe stuff in 1:12th, but only a handful of "retro" figures and vehicles in 1:18th.

2020-11-10 03:56:29 UTC  

I'm not collecting anymore, but the entire reason I started customizing 1:18th scale stuff is because it was all there was. And it all works together.

2020-11-10 03:58:32 UTC  

Yeah. I don't know alot about the figurines. Just lightsabers. The kind that has the sounds and metal hilt.

2020-11-10 03:58:51 UTC  

Mine has sounds, but a plastic hilt.

2020-11-10 03:59:16 UTC  

It worked, but the batteries went dead. Replaced them, now nothing.

2020-11-10 03:59:54 UTC  

Hasbro 2010.

2020-11-10 04:00:09 UTC  

Don't leave batteries inside. They leak, and people who collect them don't like it.

2020-11-10 04:00:35 UTC  

I used it off and on.

2020-11-10 04:00:37 UTC  

It's probably a corroded contact

2020-11-10 04:00:56 UTC  

Nope. They're clear.

2020-11-10 04:01:49 UTC  

Oof...bad connection. U probably have to solder something inside.

2020-11-10 04:02:19 UTC  

Likely. It may have gotten jarred too hard in the move.

2020-11-10 04:03:48 UTC  

Any suggestions of a good collectible brand too look at for sw light sabers?

2020-11-10 04:04:10 UTC  

Not really? I don't collect them myself.

2020-11-10 04:05:33 UTC  

Oh. More towards figurines huh.

2020-11-10 04:06:01 UTC  

I just do customs. I don't even collect those anymore.

2020-11-10 04:06:28 UTC  

Really? Like paint and sculpt. Cool

2020-11-10 04:06:59 UTC  

Yep.

2020-11-10 04:07:44 UTC  

Of course restorations too.

2020-11-10 04:07:48 UTC  

An older one I did.

2020-11-10 04:08:14 UTC  

Female Rodian pilot named Nadala.

2020-11-10 04:08:33 UTC  

Whoa, cool. Hand sculpted? Or what

2020-11-10 04:09:16 UTC  

Partly. Shira Brie pilot body, hands sculpted from one Greedo, head carved out from another.

2020-11-10 04:09:31 UTC  

Awesome

2020-11-10 04:09:42 UTC  

Keeps me occupied.

2020-11-10 04:10:24 UTC  

And it looks like u don't cut corners with stickers too.

2020-11-10 04:10:35 UTC  

Nope.

2020-11-10 04:10:55 UTC  

I mostly use old, broken ones. Yard sales and thrift stores.

2020-11-10 04:12:09 UTC  

Rare breed.

2020-11-10 04:13:05 UTC  

Did u do the main characters...vader or yoda?

2020-11-10 04:13:35 UTC  

Nope. Always my own or requested characters.

2020-11-10 04:13:59 UTC  

I don't charge for them or sell them. Just for fun, or for gifts.

2020-11-10 04:15:05 UTC  

U do have mad skills

2020-11-10 04:15:23 UTC  

Thanks. But I'm not even close to the best out there.

2020-11-10 04:16:08 UTC  

I'm in a few trading groups with guys that can make figures look like photographs.
