  3. Devil Women Destroy Collectible Stormtrooper

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    Well, I've been confirmed from another source that this is indeed a fake.

    With Sideshow policy of "please destroy the prop, and send a proof of it", that was it for this biker character. I guess the character was the defect in this case, and not the bike.

     

    This is an original way of doing it ..

     

    I bet the owner of the collection was the one behind the camera ;)

     

    Still, it's interesting to know how you guys would torture the girls if this was indeed for real! D

    This is wrong in every way.

    Those girls are amazingly stupid and indeed, silly. They must have had quite a few drinks cause all they say is pretty much crap.

     

    On another note though. Al lot of collectors won't let their girlfriend/wife know the value of their collectible. I'm on Rebelscum and so many guys hides boxes as they come in .. or hide the price or devaluate them in fear of being flamed. That may explain the "I think it's worth about 100 bucks!" Still doesn't justify the act though.

     

    On another note, and I thought that was pretty funny, is the comment BELOW the video. It says something like:

     

    "[...] decided to destroy his most prized possession -- a scout Stormtrooper figure. [...] ringleader is even so dumb as to call the figure a "snowtrooper"." Well I have some news buddy, you just called the thing a scout Stormtrooper, don't laugh at the girl calling it a snowtrooper.

     

    That was pretty dumb if you ask me! ;)

  6. eFX Stormtrooper helmet reviewed

    Well,

     

    Since shipping was economy 184$ or priority 240$, add 399$ for the helmet, around another 100$ of custom and broker's fees.

    At over 700$ shipped to Canada, it was pretty easy to pass on the offer!

     

    I'll probably need to find a fellow us buddy to buy stuff for me and ship them my way .. anyone? :)

    Neil,

     

    The AP kit comes with green acetate for the lenses - really close if not the same as in the movie.

     

    The mic tips are actually sink faucet covered with black tape, those need to go .. you can reach Stomper or Keith on this forum for more accurate ones.

     

    The brow trim is accurate.

     

    The neck trim is the same as the brow trim, so inaccurate. There's a couple threads that will give you a link on the accurate one, you can find it online, they sell it in the UK.

  14. Firefox 3 and the FISD

    LOL OMG .. It reminds me when I was using a 14.4 Zoltrix modem back in 1990 to access BBS and discussion forums (cause there sure was no internet back then)!!!

     

    Well, just to follow up, yes, of course it helps, but I definitely think my PC can take the site as it is .. I might just have to revert back to FF2 in the meantime!

  15. Firefox 3 and the FISD

    Guys,

     

    I'm not totaly sure it's ok to post this here .. but I thought I'd still ask. Admin, of course feel free to delete everything if it doesn't make sense .. :D

     

    So, since I got Firefox 3, the FISD (and BSN) create HUGE CPU spike when browsing the site .. and I mean, everything gets real bad. The lag it creates is quite a pain in the a very impolite person.

     

    I've read around on the net that it's due to the page's background but haven't found a solution yet.

     

    Does anybody know a solution for this or actually have the same issue?

     

    Thanks,

    Al

    You can buy the original un-altered DVDs now too... is that what you're talking about the color being 'off' on?

     

    What's all that unaltered DVD thing about? What did I miss?

     

    I have the old Star Wars Trilogy Collector Edition on VHS. The rigid black box. Actually, my best friend, a long time ago, had given it to me as a loan. He didn't want to associate it with his girlfriend at the time, so to my place it went. He went missing on me, oh well, kept the box!

     

    Weirdly, I can't find a pic of the box online ...

  24. Gas prices

    I'm in Montreal .. gaz price is skyrocketing here!

     

    We pay 1.50$ per liter here.

     

    For the mathematically challenged:

     

    1 gal = 3.785 L, thus our $ per galon is at 5.67$

     

    Eat this! :|
