Hokay, so... The first four are on their way, but apparently there was a rush on BlockBuster around the time I was ordering the fifth. *narrows eyes at the folks further up the page* You know who you are... So they weren't able to process that last order of mine. And, as noted by someone else a couple posts up, they have utterly vanished once more. @OdiWan72, @Country Paul, I do rather want one of those four for myself. Would one of you guys be okay with just one for now, until they get replenished?

Thanks, Markus. The two of you might want to PM me your shipping info soonish. I should have them in hand within a week or so. Oh, and I think your idea of offering an accurizing kit for the magazine bottom is a good one. I'll mention here, also, that anyone wanting to replace the moulded-on part with an actual Tomtit engine cylinder can get them from the original manufacturer, who was found as part of the research thread into the ANH Hero DL-44 and offers parts kits for a terrific price.

I'm sure they'll be everywhere by September when the costume stores start opening.
Got mine today. Nice little replica.
Two great things about it:
No screw holes to fill.
Not raised text to sand off (all info on a clear sticker that is easily removed).
I was going to modify it with a tomtit part, real cord, and a 3D print muzzle, but I think i might just stick to surface prep and a paint job. Maybe on second one.
I do think I want to modify the muzzle opening and maybe strengthen the barrel with a metal or wood insert.
I would also like to add weight to the body. I don't have resin on hand and I don't really want to invest in resin just for this. Can anyone suggest a cheap filler? Something that is low in cost and something i do not have to buy a huge amount.

I've actually been modding a Rubies e-11, and to add weight I filled the interior with bondo. I'm not sure if that's possible with the Leia, seeing as how you mentioned that there are no screw holes to fill. Are there still screws that hold 2 pieces together?
@Mara Jade's Father, I often use that epoxy putty to add solidity, but more heft may be desired for these. In those cases, I have a bunch of #9 lead shot (the smallest size, about 1/16" across), that I secure in place with plain ol' super glue. Since I'm planning to replace the barrel on this with a metal one, more weight at the other end is something I'm wanting. I'll havepictures up sometime this weekend...
Couple things... I wasn't expecting them to show up til Monday, but they got here today (so get me your shipping info, you two ). As MJF noted, no screw holes to fill... which also means no screw holes to help dismantle. I want to re-do the trigger and hammer, in addition to barrel stuff. @OdiWan72, might you be willing to include castings of those bits along with the magazine base piece(s)?

While poking around I saw their Tusken staff. I know it's thin plastic but anyone know how accurate??? I'm thinking fill it and re-paint or mold and cast?????
On the Leia I never wanted it as far as MR goes but for that price and accuracy I'm getting two. Lea ANH and Mod for Leai ROTJ. Make all the needed mods, add weight and paint. Bam!!!!!
Thanks
