Oky Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I just got my EB trooper today! It's awesome! Really, it looks excellent! Big kudos to the makers, and thanks again to KimT for the great contest! I was also rather pleasantly surprised to find that it came with one of these! I was already worried that I wouldn't have anything to display it on. The only thing that bothers me a tiny bit is that the torso seems a bit faded whereas the leg printing looks fine (it kinda clashes around the belt), but it doesn't matter. I was also surprised that the parts are glued. I was kinda hoping to occasionally use the head or the legs on other figs, but I guess it's better this way as it will remain a trophy like it's supposed to be. Now I just need to think of a way to honor it... perhaps a vignette... Again, I'm open for suggestions, so if you have some, please PM me. Quote
KimT Posted April 24, 2009 Author Posted April 24, 2009 Yup I figured a stand would be great to have and thus I bought a bundle of those from minifigworld. As for the glueing, well that's, as you said yourself, to keep it as a trophy. Prints are as prints are, not much we can do about that Quote
green dewback Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 The postman(women) came today while nobody's home. My mother will get it from the post office for me after work on Saturday or Monday. Quote

KimT Posted May 3, 2009 Author Posted May 3, 2009 Brand new 1st Place Prize for the Invasion contest only: Only one of these will ever be made and you agree upon winning this that you'll never sell it. This keychain or the EB stormie, number 1 picks. Quote
Skipper 24 Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Awesome new custom Obi-Wan, a great prize for the contest . Quote
jifel Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Oh, crap! that Obiwon is pretty... Only one entry? Alright, I am doing it anyway! jifel Quote
Natman8000 Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Maybe this time I want to win 2nd place assuming the winner doesnt want the stormie. I already have obi wan and if I got this I would remove the keychain. Quote
Legoking Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Hey, these are very nice prizes. I like the decals a lot! Quote
CloneCommanderDelta7 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Hail 1st and 2nd prize! (and Trashcat) Quote
YG-49 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Hail 1st and 2nd prize! (and Trashcat) Right On!!! /highfiveI'm having a really hard time figuring out whether I would get the Obi-Wan or Stormie if I win I think I know what Oky-Wan would get Goodbye... *The decisive one* Hail Trashcat!!! Quote
Natman8000 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) How is the Obi wan one made? Did you just buy it then print the logo on? Edited May 22, 2009 by Natman8000 Quote
KimT Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 He's done the same way the EB Stormtroopers were done. Clean the back, add decal solution, add decal, add decal-setting-solution, dry, gloss, dry, gloss, dry, gloss, dry and you're good to go... or something like that. Why? Quote
KimT Posted June 22, 2009 Author Posted June 22, 2009 Awsome prize! Thanks - we do try our best to keep the prizes good. For the next contest (late Summer) we've got some new stuff lined up and ready to go Quote
LittleBuilder Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Nice prize, I think I said it before but am lazy with eurobricks aaaaaahh....... Quote
prateek Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Awesome collaborative effort from the Eurobricks staff. Truly a one in million prize that should inspire our community! Thanks more like one in a billion Quote
Artizan Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 i hope next contest there'll be some shiny stuff to get.(perhaps the eb trooper made out of the new silver stormtroopers?) Quote
KimT Posted June 28, 2009 Author Posted June 28, 2009 i hope next contest there'll be some shiny stuff to get.(perhaps the eb trooper made out of the new silver stormtroopers?) That would certainly depend on wether or not you can remove the backrprint without damaging the chrome print. Let me know how it works out ...but it's certainly worth considering. Quote
Artizan Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 well, maybe just add the EB pouldron without applying the decal will do it? it would make a really appealing prize, believe me Quote
-JD- Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 well, maybe just add the EB pouldron without applying the decal will do it? it would make a really appealing prize, believe me Not forgetting the Starkiller face. Quote
