Some thoughts?
Posted: 24 Aug 2009 15:57
Afternoon all!
More work avoidance follows!
Just going over some of the old threads, wants list, comments, etc. One theme constantly recurs - we all have bits of men and machinery missing. And we all have a hope of getting them, despite the prices.
For example, i have Z Force Shaft with 3 broken leg struts. Now, I have to wait until they come up for auction (and scrabble around with everyone else, paying large amounts, with a lot of extra hassle) or i have to buy a whole one (and scrabble around...).
My point, if i have one, is 2 fold.
1) Why dont we start a Baron's Multicoloured Swapshop (see SteveD's posting in the Variant/Bodypart thread), where we all list our spare bits along with Price, Swap, or Free to a good home, and our wants (small pieces, rather than figures, whole vehicles, etc.). We could all be sitting on exactly what the other person needs.
2) Who actually owns the rights to the Action Force mouldings? And, depending on the answer, how hard would it really be to take a cast of a small machine part, and mould our own damn leg struts from spare plastic (spare
anyone?). I'm not sure that it would be that hard - melting (but not burning) plastic, pouring it, cooling it, and voila!
Just some thoughts for a miserable monday afternoon in the vain hope that the project i am working on will be done when i finish typing this!
Alas, no
Cheers
