I know that this is the wrong forum, but hey......

I don't really collect action figs, but I love the astromech droids.

I have so far aquired R2D2, R2Q5, R2B1 & R5D4.

The only one that I need is the Red R2 unit that comes with the Naboo Cruiser but I ain't paying £40 for it.

If anybody has a spare and is willing to trade then let me know (or if you see it at auction I would appreciate a shout).

Many thanks

Or, if you can get some of them garyperry resin "stmms" to trade, i Might be able to get b'jr to give up his xtra b1 (he had 3, and let me take the red lightpipe outta one of them so i can install it in my r2q5 just cuz he wants to see how it'll look :) ) first priorities: one each of equinox, steamrunner, sabre, akira, norway, cardie fighter, starfleet fighter, prometheus. second priorities: concept ent, 1st concept excelsior, jenolan :)
i know those're longshots, but a man can dream, eh? ;)
yeah, astros work good w/our mms, eh? :) which d2 you got? i prefer commtech ep1 w/booster rockets :)
btw, i noticed you already got a teemto pod even though i'd saved you one. don't need anymore? if not i'll diVerT to someone else ;)

Sorry VT - can't get Gary to supply any more freebees - believe me, I tried.

Tell you what though, I have a couple of spare Delta Flyers on the way from that site that you emailed me.

What do you say - a delta flyer and the voyager snap fast (if I can find it) for the Naboo Cruiser red R2?

The podracers - bought all of them for buttons so don't need the 2 that you were sending - cheers anyway.

PS I too have the R2 with boosters - it's ACE!

I just wish the middle leg of the booster R2 was articulated as it has a really nice frosted dome even if it is hemispherical instead of elliptical; a pointless sculpt with the boosters IMHO, DC-designed or not. In fact like a lot of DC's artwork, there were glaring errors such as the N1 astromech socket and the flying R2.

The Red R2 is my fave, I'm waiting for a good R5 sculpt b4 I buy and don't even get me onto the R2-B1 shortcuts and errors - chrome dome...pour quoi?????

Delta Flyer??? Hmm... interesting... :D

Delta Flyers?

VT put me on to 'em.

You can order them from....

http://www.federationmodels.com/

for $5 - they are in scale with a Voyager model (slightly smaller than an MM), but I don't know if they require painting (as they haven't arrived yet).

I have 3 on the way - one for myself, GSJ and a spare for the proposed trade.

Cheers

Hey, I'll take my Teemto's Pod back if it's no longer going to its final destination, I don't really know where my duplicate got off to, so I figured if I had to, I'd just suppliment my podracers with the pick-u-parts one from the 2nd series since all its bits are in there, but I'd rather have a solid one and not waste one of those pod chassis.

As for the red R2-R9, I haven't seen these going for cheap, but I'll keep my eyes open at the TRU leftovers bins, they've had a few loose Royal Starships in there before and I met a guy who found one with the droid inside for only $15.

thanks JT

i'm afraid that i'd already turned your teemto pod over to b'jr jt :( and Now i hear you expressing regrets about trading us yer kazons, which you'd previously disdained so much you didn't even wanna keep One of?
sigh, post-trade regrets from my partners always bum me out :( tell you what, if you Try to hunt down yer duplicate and can't find, i'll go to bat for you re what is now b'jr's teemto, ok? :)

other part of the job i hate: don't worry bc3, i believe you tried :) but i'm afraid b'jr wouldn't consent to trading his r2r9 for a deltaflyer & qs voy :( but i'll continue My lookout; might That entitle me to the qs voy (IF you can find one cheap & easy of course)? ;)

jdah: "a pointless sculpt with the boosters"
-agreed- personally i prefer the datalink's feature-rich body; but on balance the rocketman r2 just looks best imo :)

"glaring errors such as the N1 astromech socket"
-you mean no room for his legs? if so, see Incred Cross-Sections for explanation why it Isn't an error (it used to bug the hellouttame too ;) ) :)

The rocket boosters on the R2 are there because to make the R2-D2 Episode I figure more "kid-worthy" they added the rocket boosters that are from a cut scene from the Coruscant segment that was to consist of him falling from the floating platform and using his boosters to get back upto the pad. That would've been a really really awesome scene, IMHO, they should've added that to the DvD also. :D
