Man Serg, I LOVE that AT-AT Driver display! To this day my all time favorite design on a trooper.Thanks. Hopefully I'll find some goodies this time too.
Indeed.If you mean the small plaque, it is from a F-Toys AT-AT model you can see in the lower corner here:

The original helmet and armor of the AT-AT Driver is quite amazing, with all those greeblies.Man Serg, I LOVE that AT-AT Driver display! To this day my all time favorite design on a trooper.
BTW, when did people starts saying A-T A-T instead of AT-AT? Drives me crazy.
I always pronounced those "AT-STAT" or "AT-TEE". I think it's better than A-T-S-T crap haha.The original helmet and armor of the AT-AT Driver is quite amazing, with all those greeblies.
Try to say AT-ST or AT-TE![]()
Thanks Trav, I own the small 1/10 version, but I wanted this 1/5 Vader I for years, though the prices were too high for me to be interested in. An EU collector sold it to me close to MSRP, which is insane at this time and age. I don't usually use the term grail for these collectibles, but this could be one of them.Beautiful piece, Serg! That has long been on my list as well but I can never get one for the right price. Merry Christmas indeed and congrats!
Thanks Julian and Merry Christmas to you and your family too! It was a long journey, but glad this statue is finally in my collection. I was looking at Vader II and I like it, in fact it seems the helmet on Vader II is a bit more accurate, but with the lack of display space and limited budget I passed waiting for the first version to pop somewhere. Even now, the statue is temporarily on display where the Attakus Stormie was, all this until I have another custom cabinet made next year. Some day I might get the white pauldron Sandtrooper from Attakus too.Merry Christmas, Sergiu. And congratulations on getting that awesome Vader statue. I'm still looking for one myself at a decent price. I have the second version, but while it is nice, the first version you've got is much better. Nice Christmas present to yourself, indeed.![]()

I need to find a company to make my cabinet, the one I used to work with is no more, was bought by an Italian guy 2 years ago, and he managed to bankrupt it. The white pauldron Sandie is the best of the Attakus Sandies, the orange version looks like is dancing.Good things come to those who wait.Their white pauldron Sandtrooper is one I have, and it is very nice statue. He'll be a great addition to your collection. Looking forward to see your new custom cabinet next year with all the goodies you'll dress it up in.
Thanks Julian. The white pauldron Sandtrooper looks great, has an excellent natural pose, as opposed to Attakus Boba and orange pauldron Sandie. After I make this cabinet I'll try to find out if this white pauldron Sandie will fit, and then maybe get one.In time you'll find someone to build your cabinet, I'm sure. It sucks when a company takes over another one only to make it go belly up. I had a similar issue with the local shop that used to frame all the paintings for us. The original owners had great prices and their framing was superb. Someone else bought the business, and now they want twice what the other ones wanted for framing. Needless to say the last time I was there they had no customers inside, and a "going out of business" sale sign on their window. I agree the orange pauldron Sandtrooper has a weird pose. I got a good deal on the white pauldron one years ago because of the advertising I did for Brian's Toys back when I was working for that other website, so they were nice. Good luck with your cabinet next year, Sergiu.
Thanks. I know about I.M.P.S. series from the first days they were released, great movies. I also have them on my own channel for years already, with the approval of the guys who made them.Wow really impressive, Do you like the empire
(If yes then follow me,because i post them,here is one thread i posted https://forum.rebelscum.com/threads/all-stormtrooper-films-not-lame.1143207/ )

Thanks Trav. It's more like a fabric poster so quite sturdy, you can put it or leave it outside as well. I always wanted a propaganda print or poster, this was the perfect choice in this caseNice poster Serg!
Thank you Paul. Collection room is changing slowlyLiking the propaganda poster a lot, Sergiu![]()
The seller and GSP both refunded me the cost of the product plus shipping. So it is all ok from this point of view. Money is back on my account. And an old friend helped me with something else, as soon as he heard about this problemThat really sucks. Hopefully they can reimburse your purchase. It's a nice garden ornament., but it does seem to be quite thin for a garden ornament which are usually heavy,.
Thank you, all is good now that I have my money back. As for your question, I chose R2-D2 because of a few reasons: as you might have guessed I wanted to get a Stormtrooper, but it looks pretty bad and quite weird, plus it is a thinner/narrower piece compared to R2 (easier to topple in wind), and all these ornaments are the same size (45 cm), so you get more out of an R2 (or BB8) than another character in that size. See below a comparison of the two:Sorry to hear of your misfortune. With your imperial focus i'm surprised you chose an R2 droid?
