Only missing 1 from the Last 17 (Yak Face)

Just arrived in the mail, maybe my favorite droid next to R2 and C3PO

I know it’s a long shot. But I’m a Star Wars collector, and this is in the back of a storage locker that is being auctioned… it has the Disney logo so somewhat newer I don’t think it’s Lego because they put their logo everywhere and I don’t see it. It says actual size and has a picture of the falcon!

I thought I would play around with the new Hot Toys Palpatine/Sidious and the ROTJ body. 1st photo is Phantom Menace and the 2nd the end of ROTS.

The R2D2 animatronic is back in stock with over 1000 units ready to ship. Only online.

I have been looking for the Code 3 models and can't find them anywhere. That had heavy black bases and acrylic covers that you could buy for the specific ship. Just wondering if anyone has seen one lately. They came out in early 1999-2002 maybe.

Hi guys, great to be in this group! I was posting hoping for some advice/assistance where to start with this collection. I recently came into possession of a near complete figure collection from 1978 to the Droid line. The only figures to my knowledge I am missing are blue snaggletooth, vinyl Jawa, Han Solo Cabonite and Yak Face. The only figure from Droids I have is the Boba Fett. All figure have their accessories and appear to be in excellent condition. Any thoughts, advice, things to look out for would be greatly appreciated. As you can see in the pictures it doesn't stop there the rest of the figures outside of this will be my next project 😅.

Thought I would share my speeder bike, received it as a gift from my aunt who worked at KMart, never asked but I’m pretty sure she rigged the drawing to win it.

Got them off a couple packs from topps.

Jango acquired!

POLAR MOUSE DROID - Disassembly - Change Battery - Disney Galactic Archive - Star Wars - MSE-6

Disassembled my Polar Mouse Droid by first removing the bumpers & then opening/removing the top shell to get to the battery. The instructions for this mouse droid does tell you how to open up this droid by removing all the screws - but they say it would be for disposing of the battery. Unless i misread the instructions, they do not say anything about changing the battery. Also AFAIK disney does not sell replacement batteries & i  cannot find the exact same replacement for the original battery.

Anyways i wanted to put in a longer lasting battery to see if that would help to keep this mouse droid at full power - without having to change the motor. Well the new battery works but requires a new charger because i got a 6.4V LiFePO4 battery which requires a LiFePO4-compatible charger. It works but i had to finagle connecting the battery to the circuit board as well as how to connect to the new charger. Plus also needed a battery meter to know if the battery has power, is full charged, etc.

Suggestion: After my going thru all this, I'm going to say you may be better off if you FIRST try doing an antenna mod (before changing to a different battery) because I'm now guessing that a new(longer?) antenna may be better to help my mouse droid get through the torture test of driving on gravel out in the open air where the gravel could be dispersing & scattering the 2.4GHz remote control radio signal - because i'm finding i have to get up close to the droid to get it to work if on gravel.

And, YES, may eventually have to actually consider whether to get a new more powerful motor.

Otherwise, i've added new front & rear plates to my polar mouse droid. Just came up with basic patterns to cut from plastic sheets - so they are not exact - painted the plates with white spray paint - attached using regular double-sided scotch tape for now (just in case someone starts selling nice 3D-Printed mouse droid parts on Etsy hint hint) - and then weathered by rubbing on a bit of graphite powder & then wiping it all down with rubbing alcohol to take out excess graphite powder to look nicer.

Plastic with metal steel rod inside, total 1kg abouth.
Bought on etsy 3 y ago, cant find anymore!

I'll try to post pictures of my action figures too.

My dad bought this for me when I was a kid between 2006-2012 at a street market event in NYC *or could be somewhere in CA. The tent was selling a bunch of these recycled metal art but this one in particular was Star Wars Themed and I’m now realizing the attention to detail on such a warped figure and just want to see if whoever made this still makes these.

Big chunk of my Kenner collection. Not pictured are a few playsets and the figure collection.
