MORE STAR WARS DISPLAY ACTION AT FALLBROOK- GUNGAN BATTLE

[D. MARQUIS]

SO THIS DISPLAY I SAY WE WERE LUCKY TO PULL OFF-EVEN THERE REALLY WASN'T MUCH EXCITEMENT LIKE OUR OTHER STAR WARS DISPLAYS- BUT BECAUSE THERE REALLY WERE NO COOL VEHICLES FOR THE EPISODE ONE-AND WE HAD A TON OF GUNGAN FIGURES THAT WEREN'T SELLING- LET ME RE-PHRASE THAT COULD NOT GIVE AWAY- ALL BECAUSE OF JAR-JAR BINX! I THINK IT'S A UNANIMOUS FEELING THAT THIS WAS THE ABSOLUTE WORST CHARACTER EVER CREATED IN THE STAR WARS UNIVERSE- NOT BECAUSE HE WAS FUNNY- LOOKING -HECK IT'S STAR WARS THE CANTINA HAD A WEREWOLF AND THE DEVIL CHILLIN OUT. BUT HIS CHARACTERIZATON MADE ME PERSONALLY THINK I WAS WATCHING "THE ROOTS" VERSION OF STAR WARS.ALL THAT ASIDE- I WANTED TO PUT MY SKILLS TO THE TEST ONCE AGAIN TO SEE IF I COULD BUILD A VEHICLE FROM STAR WARS THAT WAS NEVER SOLD IN STORES -OR NOT AVAILABLE BECAUSE STAR WARS HADN'T MADE ONE.SINCE WE HAD ABOUT 50 DROID TROOPERS ON THE SHELF THAT PEOPLE WERE JUST AS INTERESTED IN AS JAR JAR, LUCKILY I HAD SECURITY CLEARANCE AT CGG TO OPEN TOYS-SO I OPENED- I DUNNO 15-20? -I KNOW I NEEDED 8 FOR THIS ASTONISHING DROID CARRIER-THAT LIVED ITS FORMER EXISTENCE AS A LARGE CARDBOARD BOX I FOUND OUTSIDE IN THE PARKING LOT. IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER THIS DISPLAY WAS HUGE-MEANING IT WAS A LOT OF SPACE TO FILL. IT USED BE THE 5 LION- "VOLTRON" DISPLAY- UNTIL WE DECIDED THERE WASN'T ENOUGH WOW FACTOR- SO I WENT INTO MY LITTLE LAB HIDDEN IN THE HEART OF CGG AND PAINSTAKINGLY BUILT AND PAINTED THIS DROID CARRIER AFTER STUDYING THE STAR WARS VEHICLE BOOK. ONCE I GOT IT HUNG AND STABILIZED- EVEN THOUGH IN MY OPINION-IT'S JUST NOT AN ATTRACTIVE VEHICLE-BUT- WE HAD OUR WOW FACTOR BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO TAKE UP A GREAT AMOUNT OF SPACE IN THE CENTER OF THE DISPLAY- WHICH ALSO GAVE THE VIEWER THE SOLID IDEA OF THE SCALE OF THIS SHIP COMPARED TO THE FIGURES. SHOWING THE DROIDS INSIDE THE CARRIER BEFORE LANDING WAS ALSO A WOW FACTOR FOR THE CUSTOMERS.

WE WERE ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER A BATTLE BELOW (IF YOU CAN CALL IT THAT) OF GUNGANS AND DROIDS.
