Toy Problems

Post by Lusankya »

People always turn my Xizor's head back to front and then laugh at him. My sister does it every chance she gets, and when my best friend first saw him.... you guessed it! She turned his head back to front and laughed.

Does anyone else have similar problems with their Star Wars toys?

Or problems with any other toys, for that matter.

My padawan Obi Wan's braid keeps switching sides and my Anakin keeps saying "Yippee" at the most innappropriate moments. I solved the Anakin problem by stationing my Darth Maul figure next to him :twisted:

My toys have been devastated by my two pint-size plastic-destroying sons. The smashed, broken remains now lay strewn about the house (except for my E11 blaster with lights and sound effects; my older son keeps that under his pillow so he can shoot monsters).

However, taking a note from "Toy Story 2", I feel that my toys died doing what they loved, so it's not a tragedy :)

I don't like the way my Darth Maul stares at me....

I think that little bastard is up to something....

Besides, I usually play with legos

Plastic these days is so expensive, so you have to take care of your toys. It's expensive because half of it is on either Cher or Britnsy Spears.

Trying to figure out the firepower calcs for my Lego battleships.


Especially when I have the little round pegs set up to do the Anime missile broadside of death (Or was that Beer).

Heh, they should make Lego models of Replicators from SG-1, but ones that work.

Yay, a real von Neumann machine of death.

My Luke Skywalker figure can't hold onto to his lightsabre. What kind Jedi can't hold a lightsabre? It's ridiculous!

My old Voltron action figure can't seem to stay in one piece anymore -- the right leg keeps falling off. Maybe it wants to go off and scratch up my furniture or catch some mice?
In addition, my Eva-01 action figure always falls on its back unless I make it hunch over like Igor. That just doesn't make it fit in with any of the Transformers and robot toys I still have. Maybe I should stain parts of it red and have it look like some feral thing.

I still cannot believe that Power Rangers wasn't sued by Voltron. If you watch one episode of both shows (not even that, two minutes) you will realize that they are exactly the same. That is so obviously a copyright infringement it's not even funny.

Dude, you do realize that there are hundreds of sentai shows in Japan, right? 'Sides, its called Golion and Dairugger XV (which are two unrelated shows), not Voltron! :P Yeah I'm this place's only Super robot nuts... poor me. Speaking of which, my super robot toys are the defenders of the spare room! They each weigh almost a pound cause of their diecast and can be used a blunt objects if anyone attacks. Plus some have firing arms! Loaded with sharp edges and small parts too. :) 8)

Well, after I let my dog destroy a Stormtrooper all my toys have behaved, but my Darth Lego men(Vader, Sidious, Maul, and Bob(stuck one head on one of my Mauls body) are planning dark things, just sittin up there, on my dresser. So I don' give em lego ships, except for bob, that crazy kamakazi mo fo. He has my latest creation the T-Wing. Maybe I should put my jedi's up there with em, just to be safe.

I used to have a huge Micro Machines collection. Sadly, much of it was damaged or lost after repeated attacks by A) my plastic dinosaurs, B) my Ghostbusters monsters, and C) the cat. Also, sometimes, I'd light them on fire.

The cars, not the monsters or the dinosaurs or the cat.

I acutal most confess I own most of the Orgional Series Toys, Including a near mint Luke's Landspeeder, one mint Cloudcar, One completly messed up Cloudcar, One Jabba :D And the entire ESB set

How I came to onw these I acutal can't remeber.. To be honset I picked up a few during the 80s but I can't remeber from when. Though in the 90s I did buy the entire Micro-machines lines of TIE's, and Rebel Fighters, Why? because they are great fun to play with even if the scall is off so much(For the last time I wish for a Five Foot ISD I could mount somewhere :twisted: )

I actually don't have a single Luke Skywalker that stands up by himself. My small Kinder Surprise one is stuck on my wall with a band-aid.

And my cat left a bite mark in my Ob-wan Kenobi and stole his lightsabre.

My original, AT-AT has no weapons, Though it does have general veers the pilot, seven or so stormies with an e-web, a speeder bike and an AT-ST (with pilot) in it's small armoured group.

And for Mr bean, I have the Micro Machines ISD. Complete with about ten officers the same number of pilots. Grand admiral thrawn, to run the battles, Daala to run everything else. and a suncrusher :twisted: . Annoyingly it's only 10 inches and is not to scale with the ships :(

and varoius larger micro machine ties.

You know I have made enough Constellations, TIE's Mellium Falcons, Y-Wing and even a Star Destroyer with Lego's that I could make an ASVS arguement out of it....

I had a party a few weeks ago and two of my friends got drunk and decided to hide my Star Wars figures in various places around the house without me knowing.
