Do post pics ;)
Sorry. No camera, so no pics.  :(

Got outbid on the Sandtrooper, and the auction ended while I was at work, so I'll have to find another one the bid on.

Have a look at the GG website. They have a few new items, including a Chewie bust,  :) and a really cool looking set of Star Wars bookends.   8)
('What? Bookends?' I hear you cry. Yes, bookends. Go have a look).

I didn't win the Sandtrooper but am watching a few others, and considering a buy it now on a Stormtrooper. It's a bit expensive, but it's becoming rare now, and I do really like it. Undecided though. :-\

Buy it, if you don't like it you can wait until they are really rare and then sell it  ;)

Yep, I bought the Stormtrooper.  :)
I couldn't help myself.  ::)
Now I really should stop spending until my debts are cleared and my course fees paid.  :(
But I've just got my first paycheck from my new job, so I thought 'what the heck, treat yourself'.  ;)

Well, my Stromtrooper just arrived. How come everthing I order from Ebay recently has taken so long to get to me?  ???
Anyway, shouldn't complain, as I do love my new armoured bad guy.  8)
I guess now I have changed identity, I am going to need to buy the Chewie bust when it comes out in october.  8)
I can see a collection of these busts forming over the next year.  ;)
The only problem is...which one next?  ::)

Yeah let's see the pics of the shower gel bottle.  :D

I remember having an Artoo shampoo bottle as a kid. I wonder what happened to that?  ???

The sandtrooper is another one I would like to get. I think I may be getting addicted to them.
I need to save some money for more FXs though, so I shouldn't buy any more for a while really.
Yeah right who am I trying to kid?  ::)

I gave in and got the sandtrooper.  8) Now Vader's position on top of the TV is flanked by a trooper each side of him, like this:

I don't think Vader really needs to be guarded so heavily, he can stand up for himself, but it's probably Imperial protocol or something.  ;)
I am definately getting addicted. I have seen my destiny, and it is to own more Star Wars busts.  ;)
I am now after the Yoda, C3PO, Han and Luke X-Wing Pilot, and will not be able to resist the Chewie which is being released later in the year.  :o
The are already pre-sales available on Ebay for the Chewie bust, but I think I will wait until it is actually on the shelves. I can't bring myself to trust pre-sales for some reason.  :-\

Anyone else got the bug for these things?

I would have got the vader bust, but i think my retailer is pricing it a little too high. Around $66...
