Haha ! I'm much willing to eat crow myself and have a great looking bust when it arrives, and be proven wrong on its physical condition. Hopefully I'll get to find out about mine very soon.

You are not alone, Travis. Mine was also supposed to be delivered yesterday (Saturday) and it never showed up. Instead I received Ahsoka from EE which was scheduled to be delivered on Monday. Go figure USPS!Well, SOS from the USPS. Claimed it would be here today, never showed up. I get tired of the "quality" service, especially on Saturdays. Guess it's a wait until Monday now.
I know the Ashoka was for your son, but what are your/his thoughts on it? Did the piece arrive okay?You are not alone, Travis.

The box it was packed in was big enough to allow for plenty of padding, which they used, and the presentation box has no flaws thanks to that, so kudos to EE for that. The Styrofoam is even worse than the one they used for the McQuarrie Sandtrooper, and part of the bust was coming out through it. That can tell you how bad it is. As far as the bust itself, it came perfect. Paint application looks great/ no bleeding, colors are vibrant, details are good. Compared to the McQuarrie Sandtrooper, you can tell they took the time to work on this one. In all a beautiful sculpt I would have bought for myself if I were collecting from the animated series. My son put it in his room the minute he saw it. It's a beautiful piece, really. I posted pictures in the Ahsoka thread and will re-post them in mine as well.I know the Ashoka was for your son, but what are your/his thoughts on it? Did the piece arrive okay?
Well I am glad to here! Yeah, EE are pretty solid. I never had any issues with them and when I did, they instantly resolved my problems. Them and BBTS are pretty much first class operations that still get what Customer Service is!The box it was packed in was big enough to allow for plenty of padding, which they used, and the presentation box has no flaws thanks to that, so kudos to EE for that.

Hey Serg, yeah they are a POS. I REFUSE to pay them a dime! I even went into my account a month ago, took all the old photos out of there and it still said I was "way above" the MB requirement even though I went down to almost none. It's simply a scam. I started posting on Google photos, which if you have a Google account is FREE, and easier to upload as well!Seems stupid Photobucket is messing with our images once again, making them unclear/blurred, just to get money from us. Was looking through your thread and noticed that, and i guess it happens in most threads where Photobucket was used.
I used to have paid account on Webshots until they were bought by another company and all my photos were gone. No matter I had my subscription, the photos were gone. I also had a paid Photobucket account for 2 years, long time ago. Their site started working very slow in the past years, then I decided not to renew my subscription. I won't pay for any image hosting service again, the same way I don't have paid membership on forums. No more.Hey Serg, yeah they are a POS. I REFUSE to pay them a dime!

PS) I wish I could go into my old threads and delete those blurry photos but I cannot. I may have to start posting some photos of my collection I already posted about again.

And as I said before: very cool collection! Maybe you should add the photos on the first post in the thread too.![]()
I went with Flickr for now. I also have google images as a backup, which is free with my email.If you look around you'll see all my Photoshop pictures have been blurred out, too. A couple of years ago when Photoshop started demanding a $400.00 membership out of me to continue hosting my pictures, I turned around and gave them the finger. So first they took them all out and replaced them with a sign saying to upgrade my membership. Then suddenly they brought them all back for almost a whole year with their logo planted on them. Now they have been blurred out. Whatever, I say. Best thing in life is to have the right to choose what you want to do. So for the last 2 years I've been using ImageShack for $18.00 a year without any issues, and I have backed up all my picture files in case ImageShack fails to work for me at some point.

Your collection is looking good, Travis. Glad to have been of help getting some of the figures for you. Which Unleashed Vader do you have? ...Masked or unmasked? and do you have the Unleashed Boba Fett? That was a pretty cool figure. I still have all of those in boxes at my parents' house. I like them so much, I've never wanted to get rid of them.
Thanks Herb for the compliments!Why not use the image hosting here on rebelscum, that's what i use.
Nice to see your collecting habits Django, i rarely visit the GG section anymore i guess i've been missing out on your finds.
