ottoatm, I can confirm for you that prices for Lego sets in Asia are indeed higher than Europe and America. And Taiwan in particular is notorious for its high pricing, not to mention the general unavailability of many sets. I don't know why this is, but I can tell you that it is not uncommon for Tai...

Hi Redbeard (Hey!! Your initial is R.B., too!!), Don't feel so dejected. We all have to start from somewhere. When I first got into this, I did my 'customization' mostly with paint and Gundam markers, and it was only a long time after that that I discovered sticker papers, then decals, and who knows...

Richard, You can find more information on the water-slide decals on my website. There's also a discussion on the forum on the 'skirt' parts, and a few talented customizers have already came up with solutions for the skirt, so please come and take a look when you have time. For myself, I'm spending m...

Actually, I think this is a pretty good idea. Ok, maybe it's not entirely possible to to collect and list every single custom torsos made by man, no more that it is possible to achieve world peace or eliminate poverty, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try, right? If for nothing else I think this w...

That's a very nice looking design. Very sharp and very clean, with excellent attention to details. That's just how I like it :) I'd be very interested in seeing the fig himself. Did you make a custom face for him, too? How about any custom gears? Good job and please show us more when you have time! ...

Hi, thanks for everyone for their kind comments. The thong issue is coming up all over the place now. Emails, fbtb, my forum , etc. Originally I didn't mind the look of it that much (in fact, looking at those pottery figures, I actually thought thong was the authentic look), but now I guess I am goi...

Well JPinoy, I'm deeply 'disturbed' by the fact that you're 'amused' by men in thongs :) Just kidding. Actually, the reason they're 'bare', so to speak, is because I have no idea what their leg armors are supposed to look like. Looking at some Greek potteries and stuffs, it actually look like the an...

Look for some kinds of stickers/labels that's glossy on one side and sticky on the other, that's what I used to use :)

Those are cute. I don't know my Silmarillon very well but since they came from you, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt in terms of authenticity.

Btw, have you seen my Feanor fig?
