How do you (cheaply) find that one weird/needed piece?

[wedge1968]

What do you guys do when you need a small piece from a larger set and don't want to spend $20 or more to get it? I need one Jedi Council chair to complete my diorama (once Yaddle and O. Rancis...not sure on the spelling...get replaced, I need an extra chair), and I don't want to spend money on an entirely new set just for a chair. Has anyone else run into a problem like this, and what have you done?

I've been checking ebay, but to no avail.

What type of chair are you looking for? I think there's 2 or 3 different types in these sets.

Yeah, I am just looking for the standard council chair (not Yoda/Yaddle chair or O. Rancis chair). If anyone sees one at a flea market or has one, please let me know.

Thanks for all the help.

Okay so you're talking about the "armrest chair" and not the "tall back chair" or the "footprint chair."

I call them this just based on their appearance. (The footprint one is called that due to the little nubs in front and on the sids that are slightly reminescent of Yoda's feet.)

I may have an extra armrest chair for you. I'll have to check my inventroy list to see for certain. Only problem is it is in storage and I can't get to that until the weekend and I'm going out of town this weekend. O it would be at least 2 weeks before I could send it out, if indeed I have an extra.

There is a GI Joe set that is now using the Mace Windu style chair.

There is some more Hasbro cheese for you. I remember the first time I noticed them switching parts back and forth between these lines was the POTF2 Lobot. He had a trimmed down Uzi for a data pad accessory.

Thank you all for the tips and the help. I am still working on it, and if anyone has anything else that they can do to help, it would be appreciated.
