Just 13 more days until the final payment is charged for the X-wing! I'm so excited to get this one.

Today is the last chance to order the Ahsoka Tano Lightsaber before the piece is retired and the edition size is set.

Rebel Starfighter Red Five X-wing #156 arrived at my office this afternoon. My hat is off to Bryan, Amy and the rest of the eFX crew. They all did a superb job
with this piece. I'm extremely happy with the way it turned out and I'm proud to have it in my collection.
I just looked over all the different parts and pieces and this one looks to be perfect. My plaque is straight, no smudges and it even has some of Mark's finger prints on it! All the lights work and they all line up pretty good. I was
being very gentle with the whole thing, but I wasn't sure if I had the seat and pilot in there right or not. The canopy did have room enough to close, so
I'm assuming I did, but it was kind of loose. Perhaps that's just the way it was designed to be, but I wasn't going to mess around with it.
I have to be honest, I just had a look around the room to see if there was any possible way to display it and there's not. I literally don't have anywhere to safely put it. I also don't want to display it without a case anyway, so that's okay. Just knowing that I have one will have to be enough for now. President - Tampa Star Wars Club,

Congratulations Chris, I am certain that Red Five will be a priority display item the soonest you have the available space and case.
I today, got my missing gaffi stick/arm from Sideshow for my PF Tusken Raider. |

For those that don't receive the newsletter, looks like we'll be seeing a Studio Scale TIE Interceptor sometime down the line. Very cool!
Also, the edition size for the Ahsoka Tano Lightsaber has been set at 574. President - Tampa Star Wars Club,

I like the little bases. I've also seen these at TRU, but I can't believe the high price- about $3.50 or so, if memory serves.
Also, a note about posting- this thread is primarily for eFX discussion. The post above would probably be best put in the New Aquisitions thread. On the other hand, Rich, I'm really glad to see you posting on here, and no one's mentioned those marbles before now. -Campbell |

I missed the release of the SS Tie Interceptor ! That sounds cool. Got any more info on this? I'm guessing they don't have any photos yet.

eFX has new information up about their first Classic Battlestar Galactica replica in development. ...and it's not a Cylon. It's a dual signature
(Apollo and Starbuck) Colonial Warrior helmet! This is likely to be beyond
my price range, but I will watch this with great interest.

Update on the X-wing display case:
The cases are now shipping from eFX. Shipping seems to be around $130.00 for each case due to the size and weight of the box. I opted to make a few payments due to the large shipping cost, so it'll be a month or two before I have mine. Really looking forward to seeing how these turned out though!

Speaking of helmets, I am dying to add that McQ Vader helmet to my collection. Doubt it will fit in the budget. They don't offer payment plans, do they?

DarthShader wrote:Yes and no. They offered payment plans on the remaining cost of the latest product to ship which is the X-wing display case, but in the past they have stated that they are not set up to accept payments. This could certainly change and probably will as more collectors can purchase on a payment plan than not.

Thank you eFX!!! Their terms for a payment plan will make it possible for me to order a McQ Vader helmet. Can't really afford the deposit right now, but will do my best to make it happen anyway. Not a bad price, either.
This will be my very first helmet. http://www.OrlandoMobileTinting.com |
