Great episode as usual guys and thanks so much for having the guys from here on. They did a great job representing the team here!

I read Ross' glowing review of your podcast on theswca blog. Nice work and well-deserved!

Great interview guys

Thanks Andy

The interview was my first, and was a little bit nerve wracking. I probably should have had a pint or 6 before.

btw, James still doesn't believe I'm Canadian. I don't say EH & aboot.

Yeah I hate to break it to you buddy....but I'm gonna have to agree with Christian........you really do say "aboot"

Has this turned into a 'lets bash our Canadian friend' thread.

I might need a box of tissues.

I'll send you a box of Kleenex Clint.

Poor Clint. It's a good job he can take a ribbing! Besides he knows we all think he is a fantastic guy.

Don't make me put on my toque, and get out the dog sled.

Hey Guys

Thanks for another great podcast.  I was able to listen to the latest episode, while working this afternoon.

I loved the shout out, to our very own Chris aka chris.75.  His photography skills are simply fantastic.  When he & Jay aka psybertech, were giving us pointers on the best way to take pictures, we all listened.  And I like to think we've got some of the best photographed SW items around, because of them.
Here is a great thread on some of our set up's.  Some of us (cough, cough, me), like the cheap route.

Chris is a DV focus collector, so that is why he was showing off the DV towel & the Lili Ledy DV in the Latest Pick-ups thread.

While I was listening, Richard was talking about removing the bandolier & bombs from the 12" IG-88, and I didn't catch why, till later on in the podcast.  I have a Jawa that has the melting plastic problem that you guys were describing.
You can see the melt marks left on the cloth cape & right through to the plastic torso.  When I was originally taking the pictures, I didn't know why the bandolier was sticking to the cape and torso.  But it all makes sense now.

I was wondering if you could also post a link to the video of the "how to repair the Imperial Shuttle wing mechanism".  I have a shuttle that needs that exact problem fixed.  I'm sure there are a lot of others that would love to see it as well.

Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to hearing the next episode.

Clint

Damn I just typed a reply and it has gone :-(


Anyway, many thanks for the above info Clint. Lee Bullock did a panel at FF on the 12" Action Figure line and worried the hell out of us with regards to different plastics touching and melt marks. What does it mean for all of toy collecting? We don't know but it's scary to think about and there's nothing that can be done to prevent it by all accounts.

here's Galactic Armory's awesome video that really helped me.

Thanks Richard.

On my 12" Jawa, there was no different plastics touching.  So the bandoliers on both the Jawa & IG-88 must be made out of a plastic that is prone to leaching something out.  Thought I heard you mention the belt on Boba Fett might have the same problem?  I took my figures out of storage, and took the bandoliers off of them last night.  I also took the bombs out of IG-88's bandolier as well. The bombs seamed a little bit tacky.  Is there any good way of cleaning them up, besides soap & water?   I took Boba's belt off as well as a precaution.  There was no evidence of melting though, thankfully.

Thanks for the link to the video.   I will have to watch it, and see if my Imperial Shuttle can be repaired with the existing parts inside.

Keep up the great work.

If soap and water isn't working for you Clint you might try isopropyl alcohol - just be sure not to use it on any painted parts

Thanks James, I will give the soap and water a try first, then the Isopropyl alcohol.   I just happen to have some of the Isoproyl alcohol on my desk.  I use it for cleaning my paint brushes and thinning the acrylic paint that I've been using on another small project.

Is Lee Bullock on this forum yet? He put a post on FB i think talking about how best to clean them. I can't seem to find it but will ask him.

I don't think Lee is on TXI yet. I don't use FB, so if you talk to him, that would be great.

I remember Lee from TIG. I also met him very briefly at C6 in Orlando.

I haven't had a chance to listen to the latest Podcast yet, But wow that's soo cool I got a mention in the latest pickups guide I will have a listen over the weekend.

Damn that is worrying   , luckily there are no signs of staining or melting on any of my 12" figures    
It's a shame to have to separate the accessories from the figures, as I have them on display, but of course I will do so, to prevent any issues in the future.
I'll definitely be listening to this part of the podcast with interest. Thanks richard for bringing this issue to everyone's attention, that may have missed Lee Bullock's original info.

Just finished listening to the latest episode. Another beauty.

Thanks Rich for the Tantive XI shout out in the feedback section! Nice to be getting support from you dudes.

Our latest episode has now dropped. Featuring some Tantive XI LA items such as the Toxic Bossk it also has an extensive interview with a forum mod!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Thanks guys, I was really honoured to be a part of it. Stu and Jez were really chilled and even though I was pretty nervous it turned out to be a lot of fun in the end. Christ I do drone on and on don't I? Now I believe my wife when she complain...

Apologies to our members - I said that we have 150 members but we actually have almost 200. My bad....

Clint you get a little shout out in the feedback section as well. Nice work.

Thanks for all the support you guys have given our budding forum.

Yeah I believe that 3 hrs of waffle was cut together with 5,000 "you knows" and 17,000 erms......

Seriously though, was a good interview and we enjoy looking at the LA items too on here. If this place was meh we wouldn't be interested so kudos to all of the guys who made this happen.

I just finished the interview with Christian. Well done. Christian, you can do all of our interviews from now on.

The interview with Ron, about the wax sculpts was fantastic.

Now to finish the second half of the podcast this afternoon.
