If you would like your question answered by the master, Ask Scott Something! The Prevailing Wisdom Posted by: Marblehead 1-9-02 12:01am Mr. E. The following has been closed captioned for the thinking impaired..... If I ask you a really stupid question will you humor me by answering under the guise that no question is stupid, or will you openly ridicule me and make me feel ashamed of myself? I doubt anything I say will make you feel any more ashamed than you already are. Remember, you asked the questions. If you're really lucky I'll vomit on thee, sh*t in your stump and then bathe you in pee. On the other hand, you have different fingers. Scott Hey what's your take on the newly previewed EP II figures? I don't work for Hasbro anymore so I get no take from the figures. I expect to see the clonetrooper jump into a Gee Bee and challenge the Rocketeer. Scott I own an old, 12" Boba Fett. It's cool and all, but I noticed that the arms are getting rubbery up near the hands. I want my stuff to stay hard, not get rubbery!! Can you offer any advice? Deteriorating in Duluth Dear limp wrist, I usually like it when the hands are rubbery, it makes for a speedier exit. If you want the stuff to stay hard refrain from excessive amounts of liquor before hand. Move your 12" Boba Fett (though I bet you're lying, it's really only 3 3/4") away from C-3PO and you should soon see a change in his rubbery wrists. Move him closer to Leia, she could use a little tension relief. Besides that, a small sliver of aluminum foil in the joint my revive some of the stiffness...just don't go to the airport. Hang loose, Scott I just spent $343 on a super-rare exclusive chromed 2002 Darth Vader figure. Is my investment sure to appreciate? Steve's bitch in Reno Dear Janet, I sure as hell hope you appreciate it after spending that amount of money on a brand new toy. Even better yet, you could sell it and buy 2 of the super-rare exclusive Jorg Sacul figures. Wow wee! Nothing is fool proof to a sufficiently talented fool. Scott You're a big-time collector... what your favorite piece in your collection, and what item do you want most that you don't have? Bruce McGill Yo Bruce, A serious moment here, my favorite piece would have to be my vintage loose R2-D2 and C-3PO figures. Many items in my collection could be valued with large sums of money but these two items are worth more memories than that money. I'll never forget sprinting down the stairs after a sleepless Christmas eve night, standing tip-toed on the fireplace hearth reaching and nosing into my stocking. Amongst the candy canes and chocolate where these two MOC, 12 back, unpunched toys. I tore them open in a flash and have had 25 years of fun since. Nothing can hold a light to that collecting moment. I want my life-size Slave Leia standee to become 3 dimensional. Scott
