[Zurbaran1]

Congrats! That is an awesome piece. May I ask, did you get a good price on it?

[Gruson]

Guess what,

MINE DID TOO!!!!!

Sweet!

Mine did NOT ship! :laugh:

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's one! :eplus2:

[elwood49]

Congrats! That is an awesome piece. May I ask, did you get a good price on it?

Yes, I did. Gruson and I got it from the same person. He hooked us up with a nice price. :buttrock:

[thx217]

Yup, mine's too. Yeah! :buttrock:

[elwood49]

It will be here on Wednesday. The package weighs 59 pounds! :eek:

[sith lord utinni!]

Man, congrats on this piece! I really love the snow base and the crashed speeder on it as well as the snow effects on the at-at. This is so bad @$$ looking...I want one!!! :buttrock:

[frost19]

i received #43 on wednesday and ordered direct through MR. its a great piece with nice snow detail and a darker gray paint job.

[cap70]

Any pics, Frost19? Thanks :)

[sith lord utinni!]

Yeah, I wanna see some pics of the real thing too. I may try to scrape some money together to buy one if it looks as cool as the pics.

[frost19]

here are some pics...

[Zurbaran1]

nice!

[cap70]

Awesome looking! Seems like they added some nice "ash" details on the snow behind the SS? Really cool and make it looking even more real!

Mine should be here by the end of the week. And got it for a great price ;) :buttrock:

[Collection King 13]

That looks cool!

[elwood49]

The weathering on the v.2 is sooo much better than the v.1. I love everything about this piece. The only thing better in the v.1 is that is has a nicer pose, but the v.2 has the guns firing! :buttrock:

Frost, do you have the v.1? I'd LOVE to see pics with both in the same shot for a comparison. I know P1 will have both, so we may have to wait for him.

[Gruson]

What a great piece. v2 all the way!

I love it!

[frost19]

yes, i have both....and plan to take pictures soon.

[elwood49]

yes, i have both....and plan to take pictures soon.

Thanks! That would be much appreciated. I also greatly prefer the v.2, but I'm just curious more than anything else.

[sith lord utinni!]

Man, that is awesome! :buttrock:. I love the blackened snow behind the crashed speeder, great detailing on this piece. I NEED ONE! :buttrock:

[lancelin]

Does anyone know the exact scale of the

1) AT-AT
2) Snow Speeder
3)... and if in the scale the STUDIO used for Millenium Falcon?

I am also a model maker and was wondering if they will fit into the models I have built so far.

Way To Much $$$$ But Looks Awesome!!

Bam! You have a PM!

[cap70]

Mine shipped too! :thumbs2:

[P1X4R]

It will be here on Wednesday. The package weighs 59 pounds! :eek:

my fedex note says 85lbs. previously it was 90lbs for the first one BUT the box says otherwise. i'm wondering if they just charge by some kind of weight class.

[P1X4R]

hey Gru, are ya going to use that Hoth background as an enlarged backdrop? i looked into getting it professionally done but it's a bit pricey!

here's a pic of what i'm talking about. i hope it's ok to post.

[cap70]

That's a cool idea with this piece. I did this with some of my pieces in the past (Bowen's Logan and Sabretooth), Cinemacast Vader and some others. Looked good but it did bother me at some point and I just removed. I wish I had taken pictures of it!
But in this case looks nice, since it's a very neutral picture that doesn't distract too much from the statue/replica. About where to get it done, we can check at allposters.com to see if we find a snow landscape poster. Or get a high res picture and get it done. ;)

ps: P1X, you have PM. :p

[P1X4R]

i have that exact pic that i got from Gru. i can email it to you. :) it's a 909K jpg file. 6750x3525

" it's been designed so that it can be printed out at 150dpi at a size of 45 inches wide x 23.5 inches high."

[message modified. muahahaha]

Hey P1. That's a awesome price. Could you PM me too? Thanks!

Are you buying another one, THX? ;)

EXACTLY! :laugh: Speaking of that 6K Endo......the spec shows it's 6'2" tall. Is that with base or without? :peoples: And the porportion doesn't look right. Or maybe it's because of the pic.

I dunno, but I really hope that is without the base! Otherwise it will be too small I assume.

[Exar Kun]

SS always gives dimensions including the base, usually, so...

[cap70]

SS always gives dimensions including the base, usually, so...

Not always. I do own many SS pieces that ended up beeing larger than advertised. Endoarm it's a good example. It says 24" on SS site, but with the base, it stays almost 29".

[elwood49]

I bet the 1:1 Endo is taller than 6'2". I know what it says on the site, but that is sometimes wrong. Look at Krypton Knight's thread on the Thing maquette for proof of that fact.

P1, that is a sweet Hoth backdrop! That would look good if you could get it to look professional.

[P1X4R]

great pic of your endoskull THX! i guess the teeth on mine are normal. LOL

Thanks for that suggestion P1. Even though I've already purchased the AT-AT, that could be helpful for the Y-Wing and MF next year. Hopefully he can offer the same kind of deal. We should get a group together around the time those go up for sale.

[Wooktroop]

thanks for the info. still to rich for my blood. gonna have to settle for the LE when i can find one for under $850 shipped :laugh:

[elwood49]

Guys, mine just arrived, and I have to say that this is easily the centerpiece of my collection. I'm putting it together with a screwdriver right now. The Walker has to be screwed into the base, and several parts have to be attached. The UPS guy about had a damn heart attack bringing it up to my house. He had to use a handtruck. For those who have one coming, you will NOT be disappointed. My camera is at my girlfriend's apartment right now, but pics will follow soon. I just wanted to give you guys my first impressions upon taking it out of the box. I got #306/750.

To those on the fence, get the hell off of it and get this thing NOW!!! Do whatever you have to do. I'm now in the market for the Falcon and the Y-Wing after seeing this type of quality.

BTW, I just sold off my Code 3 Slave I. It looks like a little toy compared to this amazing behemoth.

[cap70]

Awesome, elwood! :thumbs2:
Do you have an idea how much it weights without packing? My FedEx note says 59lbs

[P1X4R]

elwood49, when you get the chance can you take close up pics of the snowspeeder? congrats!! can't wait to get mine!

Thanks P1! :o

You will NOT be disappointed with this piece. I like it so much that I can't wait for the other ships in this line next year. I don't know how I can afford both, but I need to find a way. This is an amazing, amazing, piece. Now I know what you guys feel like when you get your Cinemaquettes in. Maybe I should sell some of my lesser pieces and go after only the amazing stuff like this.

There is even a crystal-like substance in the snow every few inches that makes it sparkle like real snow does. It's hard to describe, but take a look when you get yours. It looks so lifelike. This piece really feels like it was stolen from the ILM prop department.

[cap70]

What a POS! People, don't buy it! Look how ugly it looks. There's no details whatsoever on this thing!
I will refuse delivery of mine that is coming tomorrow!
























NOT! :laugh:

[thx217]

Awesome elwood! Thanks for the pics! Mine's "out for delivery". Yeah!

[elwood49]

Awesome elwood! Thanks for the pics! Mine's "out for delivery". Yeah!

Be sure to have a Philips head screwdriver handy for the base installation. Take a pic of the shipping box to show everyone how big it is. That thing could double as a raft or a coffee table. :laugh:

[cap70]

Hahahaha, funny is that mine is coming and I have NO idea where I will place this monster! :eek:

do you guys remember that hoth battle scene where the AT-AT shoots a snowspeeder in the air? now that would have been a cool pose with the snowspeeder somehow attached to the acrylic case! :buttrock:

Until the Tie Fighter! :D :buttrock: :buttrock:

till the DEATH STAR :eplus2:

[elwood49]

Until the Tie Fighter! :D :buttrock: :buttrock:

I've heard rumors that's next after the Falcon and Y-Wing! :buttrock:

My LCS has an Icons TIE for sale, but they want $1,500 for it, and the acrylic case looks slightly cracked. No way I'd buy it at that price when MR is sure to make one.

I need to find some sort of table to display the Falcon on that still would look tasteful in a HT room. I'll have plenty of time to find one I'm sure.

[P1X4R]

mine got delivered a day early! #351. the tracking number said tomorrow (friday). i rushed home to make sure it was safe! this totally caught me off guard! i should have expected this from fedex though. ah well, at least i don't have to take time off from work. i normally have my stuff delivered to work but i did not want to carry this into my car! i don't think it would fit anyway. here are some quick shots.

[P1X4R]

i'll take more shots of the whole thing when i get the chance..

[P1X4R]

good thing nobody decided to steal this from my front porch! they'd have one heck of a time trying to carry this heavy sucker!

Yup, your right Grievous. It's just the pics. I've put Ver.1 and Ver.2 together and guess what? The paint apps of Ver.2 looks VERY much alive. IMHO. Same old stuff here. Pics never do justist for it.

If you can't afford one, then get another job, steal a bank, but get that thing. The most amazing MR product yet, no question about it! Was kind of hard putting the panel in the holes like the instructions said to do, tough, but after that, it was a breeze. :) Just 4 screws and that's it! What an amazing collectible. :thumbs2:

Maybe it's just the pictures, but the paint apps look very flat on this version.

Remember that he's taking these pics from about an inch away. It looks good at a normal viewing distance. Just look at the "volume" they gave the snow apps on the Walker! It's very nice.

[lancelin]

I shouldn't log in this forum anymore.

After I joined for a short 1 month, I have bought a T-850 Cinemaquette, 2 Sideshows, A MR light saber, a GG Vader.....

It seems that I might spend more than $5,000 since joining this forum... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[elwood49]

THX, your pics are insanely detailed. My crappy digital camera is no comparison to yours. I need to buy a new one soon.

BTW, Thank you very much for the comparison between the LE and SE Walkers. I've been waiting for that. Now that you have both in hand, which one do you like better? Same question for you P1.

[P1X4R]

elwood49, i need to toss my camera out the window! i'm not worthy. :( as for which one i like better. i definitely love the base more on this one but i would have preferred the first one's pose. i still love them both though!

lancelin, i agree! this board has been costing me too much money with all the cool news and pics we get here!

[elwood49]

this board has been costing me too much money with all the cool news and pics we get here!

Me too, I'm drooling over your Terminator Cinemaquettes. I want them very badly. I've got the SS Predator maquette and the MR Single SE Vader helm on order, so those may be my only $1,000+ items for now. I'm sure I'll get the Indy CM, though. He'll look so cool with those upcoming MR Indy props!

I also recently got hired at a new job that I start in 2-3 weeks, so at least I'll have a lot more money for this stuff now! The only downside is that I'm sure I'm not going to be spending much time on the board at all during the normal workday. :(

Congrats cap! Wow! Attakus Jabba is HUGE. Seeing it with the AT-AT like that makes me realize just how big he really is. I really want one now. Love the setup, and I can't wait to see pics of your whole display once you find room for everything! :buttrock:

[thx217]

THX, your pics are insanely detailed. My crappy digital camera is no comparison to yours. I need to buy a new one soon.

BTW, Thank you very much for the comparison between the LE and SE Walkers. I've been waiting for that. Now that you have both in hand, which one do you like better? Same question for you P1.

Which one I like better? Hummm.....one answer and one answer only. I LOVE'em BOTH. Sorry, it's really hard too pick which one. V.2 maybe have the Snowspeeder and snow base and all but the V.1 have a better and pose and clean clear display value(campare to V.1). The pics of mine took away "a lot" of dark tone on V.2. Ask P1, V.2 is way darker then V.1 in person. Actually, I was surprised that MR made it so dark, it looks like it covered with a layer of matellic black. If I really have a choice, I'd like to see V.1 with the settings of V.2.(just like a couple of pics from RPF, a tanlent fellow re-painted the V.1 with enhenced weathering and snow) I think that probably will be the one I like the best. :)

I've seen those pics also, and they are the best one I have seen. I agree with both of you that the v.1 has the better pose. I like the dark weathering on the v.2, since I feel that's what the filmed version really looked like. They're both great pieces, and I'm extremely happy with mine. :)

Anyone know the size of the SS Y-Wing? I know the Falcon is 32", but I haven't heard anything about the Y-Wing. I was going to pass on it, but after how much I love the AT-AT, I think I might get one.

Wall number one is ready, I'm just waiting for my 1:1 T2 Endoskull, Sauron and that's it. Wall number 2 it's on the works, and number 3 have just some plans. :)
I also have some of my stuff displayed in my office right now, and will post pictures of it as well.

THX, thanks! :)

Well, I've always been very in to modeling,but I'm won't call myself a modeler cause I sucked. Due to the fact the time it will take me a tremendous of time on it so I've let it go for sometime.

Here're few old kits from FinMold I built several years ago.......



Nice!! I used to make models a lot also, but recently work has really cut down the time.

Here is a model I made.... 3 years ago... :), a PG Gundam (33 cm tall)

I really like Finemold Star Wars and is really thinking about making this:

http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/134/5065gd.jpg


However, recently, the collectables such as the ones MR makes are really making me lazy...

I guess my air brush will hardly see anymore actions if there aren't any custom job that needs to be done to these ready made collectables.

Lance

[thx217]

That's a awesome work on that Gundam lin! :buttrock:

Yup, the M.F. kit from FineMold is very detailed, but my eyes are all on the MR Falcon. :eplus2:

Wow man! That thing is the gril! Totally awesome! Can't wait to check your pics out.

MR should do a more weathered Wedge version instead some impossible to get give away. :mad:

[Gruson]

Well, my AT-AT arrived damaged. :banghead: :banghead:

I am going to return it and most likely will not be getting another.

It's nice but I thought it was going to be bigger. I was not "blown away" when I first opened it. I guess I was expecting more. Oh well.

[Grievous]

What was damaged?

[Gruson]

One of the thin supports on the leg/foot area was lose in the box when I opened it up. There is another piece that was also loose and I have no idea where it came from. I looked everywhere and cannot figure out where it goes.

I guess I was expecting too much with the AT-AT as it does not really look like a $1000+ piece IMO.

Sorry to hear about that,G ! :( Too bad you didn't like it. You were so ancious about it and saying you loved it so much. Didn't you know it was 19" tall? How much bigger do you want it? :laugh: Give it another try. :)
To me it looks AWESOME, since I first saw the pictures. Even much better in person. One of my favorite pieces in my collection and easily worth the $1000+ price. VERY solid constructed piece with awesome details. Looks just like a scene from the movie. Defenetly a keeper.

[P1X4R]

sorry to hear that Gru. it's always a disappointment when something you've been looking forward to arrives damaged.

[thx217]

Sorry to hear that too Gru. Look at the bright side, at least you saved 50% on the Falcon. :eplus2:

P.S. Cap, what was the retail for Attakus Jabba? :)

[P1X4R]

thx217, Jabba retails for $950.

[thx217]

Thanks P1.

Good job Lan! I have left modeling because of lack of time. However, I am still gonna want to do this :http://www.e2046.com/images/eccbc87e4b5ce2fe28308fd9f2a7baf3/c8e5825d823a003995ba739b55eb18d5

Sorry to hear that Gru. I had the exact opposite reaction when I opened mine. I actually like it even more than I thought I would. To me, it just "feels" like someone stole it from ILM.

I am building this now. It's 27 inches tall. It's 1/35 scale... So it is in scale with MR AT-AT and the Studio 32 inch M Falcon!!!!

CONGRATS LANCE!! Pretty good job. I really like it and also especially the way you weathered it. Pity that those 1/35 model kit are so damned expensive :banghead: , especially this K.O.G. from FFS. But detail is awesome. I am sure if you will do the K.O.G in the future, it will be nice.

P1, do you know the current value of Jabba?

[cap70]

THX, you can find some deals on ebay. Most of the times it goes for $700-$800. Got mine for $600 :D
It sells for $950 at Attakus America.

Thank you P1! That is simply amazing. I'm sure several people in your line of work have some incredible movie memorabilia.

Here is an interesting comparison of the 2 models (one of my pictures of MR v. P1's pic of the original):

Granted one speeder is crashed and has Luke's grey markings and the other is in good condition with the normal orange markings, but I think the resemblance is decent. I'd love to see the ILM crashed speeder model that MR made a cast of.

[P1X4R]

thanks guys! it was fun taking pics of it. :) i run into some inspiring people with great stories!

[cap70]

Awesome pics P1X!
Really cool little model

[Skulpturen]

Wow, that looks great!

Thanx for the pix, PIXAR !

[lancelin]

I think the difference is mainly at the weathering.

If you guys want to achieve that effect on your existing AT-ATs, you can consider this:

It's extermely easy to apply and can be removed by water.

Perhaps you guys can make your wife or girlfriend do the weathering... After all, the tools to apply the pastel is EXACTLY same as the make up brush they use everyday.
