Pretty much why i've stopped collecting. Its just getting ridiculous the amount of this exclusive and that exclusive. Just cant justify it anymore.

Some simple stuff, nothing spectacular. LUKE HARPER Battle Pack 47 Basic to Elite Conversion. TNF SETH ROLLINS Head swap as I hate the new scan. NETWORK DEAN AMBROSE Head swap to Battle Pack one. SCOTT HALL Swapped the E51 Hall arms to larger ones and swapped the RSC Head to an E51. PAIGE WRESTLEMANIA 31 This was the second custom I ever made. I've gone back and added the gloved hands and fishnet legs from the basic Paige figures.

Just curious, Was that a Royal Mail employee that waived the fee ? Because if it was that's a sackable offence. I work in the callers office at Royal Mail and I have not authority to wave a customs fee under any circumstances. The item cannot be handed over until payment is taken under any circumstances. Also more and more Royal Mail offices now have credit card machines (we just got ours last month) plus everything is itemised on the computer system now so a missing payment would flag up at the end of the day. Have just read what was at the link you posted and I have had people before bring that up, again under no circumstances can I hand a parcel over without payment and I have referred them to customer services. They came back the next day and payed the fee. Even I don't get away with paying the fee when I've ordered from RSC, no employee benefits in that department. Have you informed your superiors that RM's 'handling fee' is an absolutely disgustingly insane ransom cash grab. I have and they just laughed, true story.

Under what circumstances would they waive the handling fee? Nothing technical just a bit of game playing ha. Last time I just had a polite moan about the handling fee being more expensive than the actual customs charge. Then when it came time for payment I brought out my card, knowing full well they had no card machine. Told him I had no cash I'd have to come back another day but he said don't worry about it and waived it. Total charge was pretty similar, definitely over a tenner. However I have seen some interesting forum posts citing the Postal Act as a way to avoid charges. That's if you have the time and energy for all of that legality. Think this was the link: singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/8-royal-mail-international-handling-feeJust curious, Was that a Royal Mail employee that waived the fee ?

Hey i was wondering if anybody has heard of Vallejo paints before? And if so how are they? Really good, I prefer them to Citadel paints now.

RIP Chester. Such a huge part of my teens. Was hooked the moment I heard One Step Closer used in a fan made Sabu tribute video.

It's a custom I made before the NXT basic Finn was even announced. Completely painted from scratch. Close-up, some of my best work I think. When doing work like this, do you take the figure completely apart and mask to paint? I would love to have an elite of this attire -- great work. Painted the head and torso separately then put it back together then painted the arms and put them back on. A lot of the work on it was so delicate that I could easily be scratched off accidentally with a fingernail slightly too long so I just found it easier painting it all seperatley then putting it back together.

How did you change the TakeOver The End Basic Finn into an Elite? It's a custom I made before the NXT basic Finn was even announced. Completely painted from scratch. Close-up, some of my best work I think.

Added a spare set of headgear and arm tassels to the SS Balor Added the RSC jacket to my custom Balor and kept the RSC shirt on the RSC Balor Balor Army Rise! Anyone on the fence about the RSC Hogan, don't be! It's a fantastic figure and fits in very well. The E51 Hood fits more snugly on the E47 head. Picked up another E51 to give the E47 the accurate look. Made an updated best for my spare E51 AJ from a spare Edge coat. For some reason they gave the NXT Bayley short boots so swapped them over for the taller ones. Love the tubemen. Swapped the head on the DM Flair for the newer basic one. Swapped the head on the E48 Ambrose with the new Battle Pack one. The Nakamura basic looks great with the spare DM vest with his DM counterpart. Repainted the Battle Pack Shane hair and swapped the feet for an Attitude era Shane.

Just checked mine and it has gone grey the exact same way, it must be something to do with that particular figure as its on display in the same room as the rest of my collection and none of them have gone that way.
I also checked the other 2 Nikkis that use the same head (the red one and the green battle pack one) and neither of them have done this and they have been on display longer.

3 new Stings for my collection SINGLE SCORPION ATTIRE Second attempt at this and it came out a lot better using the Basic version of the figure as a guide. STING SAVES THE DAY Attire he wore for most of 1997 when he'd drop from the rafters. HALL OF FAME

Some simple stuff, nothing too crazy. NETWORK UNDERTAKER Swapped head and hands as others have done. Finally have the Brothers of Destruction 1998. THE ROCK RAW 19/5/1999 Austin destroys The Rock's car with Monster truck segment. MR McMAHON ATTITUDE ERA SHINSUKE NAKAMURA Wanted to display him with the red top but didn't like the red on red look. Chances are we might get this figure at some point but oh well. With his standard DM Counterpart.
