From Star Wars Geek’s Custom Supply Store:

“It’s a yearly tradition for most retailers to have massive blowout sales for “Black Friday”, and this year I’ll be joining that tradition! But I’m going to be starting my sale TODAY and running it thru the weekend! I’m actually going to run several different sales, and you can pick which offer you’d like to participate in.

Sale #1 – A special BOGO sale – you can get 1 item of the same type/scale FREE for every item that you purchase. If you purchase 4 – 1:18 heads, you can pick 4 – 1:18 heads for FREE! If you purchase a helmet, you can get a FREE helmet. However, I’m going to be very specific about this – the FREE item MUST be the same type/scale as the item you purchase. So you can’t buy 6 heads and ask for 6 free helmets. You CAN buy 3 heads and get 3 FREE and buy 3 helmets and get 3 FREE but the items MUST be the same type/scale. Not the same exact item, just the same type. You also can’t mix scales and purchase 1:12 heads and ask for 1:18 heads for free. Sorry. All items under $10 are eligible for this sale.

Sale #2 – A special bundle sale – pick any 10 heads, 5 helmets, and 5 weapons, for just $20 plus shipping. That’s just $1 per item! PLUS I’ll throw in a FREE pouch set ($6 value) with every bundle. So that’s $66 worth of items for just $20 (plus shipping)!

Sale #3 – a pack of 50 RANDOM head casts for just $25 plus shipping. That’s just $.50 per head!! You can’t beat THAT! Remember though – they are RANDOM which means you can’t pick and choose which items you want.

Shipping charges are as follows:
$3 USA
$10 International

This sale starts NOW and runs through Sunday. All orders must be sent via message to me here at the forum. DO NOT ORDER AT MY WEBSTORE OR EBAY STORE. All orders MUST be placed by Sunday (11.30.14) at 11:59PM EST. Any messages after that time will be discarded. All payments must be made by Monday (12.1.14) at 11:59PM EST. Any payments made after that cutoff will be refunded.

One thing I wanted to say as well – I’m *hoping* for some good activity with this sale, and I’ll be posting it to a bunch of message boards and various places to whore it out as much as I can. While I do try to keep a good stock of items on hand, I have to point out that I probably have about 10 -12 of most items on average. Obviously, anything that sells out can be remade, but it will take a week or so to get more stock made. So, the earlier you order, the better I can be sure to fill your order before items start to sell out. If you order items that are not available, I will let you know.

That’s about it for today. Hopefully, some of you can take advantage of some of these offers. Here’s the links you’ll need to keep tabs on everything:

StarWarsGeek’s Casting Announcement, Giveaways, and New Stuff!

 Customs, Spotlight  Comments Off on StarWarsGeek’s Casting Announcement, Giveaways, and New Stuff!
Oct 022014
 

frontpage spotlight

From Star Wars Geek’s Custom Supply Store:

“There are some exciting things happening at my online store, starting NOW.

First of all, I just added 40+ new items to my store, including my highly anticipated “VooDoo kit” (http://starwarsgeek.ecrater.com/p/20…doo-priest-kit) sculpted by Jason Hendricks. This new kit contains all the pieces and accessories you’ll need to create your own VooDoo Priest character, including a jacket, hat, cane, coffin, and several other items. It’s available for pre-order starting today for just $25 plus shipping. Unlike the rest of my inventory, these will be sold on a per-order basis, meaning that once you place your order I will make your kit. I didn’t want to have a bunch of kits sitting around waiting to be purchased becuase it’s a little bigger then a head.

I’m going to start adding more and more new products on a regular basis. I’m shooting for a weekly update of new items. That’s right, I said WEEKLY. Each week, I’m hoping to have a handful of new items ready to be added for purchase every Monday. It might be 4 or 5 one week and 15 the next week, but I’m going to add SOMETHING new every week. I’ll preview it here on Facebook first, and then add it to the store within a few days. So if you want to get the sneak peek look at it, make sure you like this page.

The new VooDoo kit is just the start. It’s the first in an entire line of kits. At first it will be add-on kits, so you will need to supply a base figure, but complete, full figure kits are in the works and should be available shortly. On top of that, I’m also pleased to announce that I’ll be creating my own ‘exclusive’ items for sale. Some of them will be original sculpts, while others will be kitbashed items from different existing heads. Either way, the only place you’ll find them is here at my shop. I’ve added a few to this week’s update so you can see what kind of items I’m looking at producing.

And if that’s not enough, how about some promotions and free stuff? Yeah, I said FREE STUFF!! Here’s a sample of some promotions that we’re going to roll out monthly, starting today and going forward. I’ve got several other ideas that I’ll implement when I can, and I have a REALLY big announcement that I’ll be posting in early 2015. Trust me, you’re NOT going to want to miss that one. Anyway, here’s what I’m starting this month:

1) $50 store credit giveaway EVERY MONTH! That’s right, each month, I’m going to give a $50 credit to one of my customers. How do you enter? Easy. Just make a purchase. You will get one entry for every purchase you make. One entry per day, per person. Doesn’t matter how many items you buy, just the purchases. So if you make a purchase on the 1st, 11th, 15th, and 23rd of the month, you’ll have 4 chances to win the $50 credit. That’s $600 a year I’ll be giving away in credit to my store, and all you have to do is make a purchase!

2) #WackyWednesdays begin TODAY! What’s “Wacky Wednesday” you ask? Well, for every order that’s placed on a Wednesday, I’ll match your order with random items. What does that mean? Let’s say you purchase 4 head casts on a Wednesday… I’ll put 4 random head casts in your order when I ship it. NOTE: the free items are totally random. You can not choose what items you will get for free. Sorry.

3) #AlmostFreeShit – Not free, but… almost. I’m going to start posting random items, at random times, for 0.20 each. Why 0.20? Because that’s the lowest price eCrater will allow me to put for an item. Stupid, I know. But what can I do. It’s still like 90% off my regular prices. But I’m not telling you when it will be posted. I might drop a hint on Facebook or Twitter, so you might want to make sure you’re keeping track of my pages. I’ll probably do 5 items at a time, so it will be a $1 total cost for all of them, plus shipping.

4) Facebook/Twitter/Forum giveaways – YES, I’m going to start giving away items thru various avenues, more than likely it will be painted items, as I really want to start painting some of the heads and parts from my store so that I can post a picture of a painted item next to the casted item. It’s hard to tell details sometimes on the unpainted casts, so I’m *hopefully* going to get some stuff painted real soon. And once I do, I really won’t have any use for 99% of them, so I may as well give them away… right?

5) International customers – I’ve already mentioned this, but I had to remove the International shipping options on the eCrater store. That doesn’t mean I’m not shipping International though. There was an issue with the shipping calculator and I was losing too much money on every shipment. So, going forward, if you live outside the US and want to place an order, just contact me. Message me here, email me, contact me thru www.starwarsgeek.net or any other way you can get in touch with me, and I’ll take care of it.

6) Painted items – I had to remove the painting service from my webstore, because I have a ton of stuff that’s been paid for that I still need to catch up on. That said, once I do get caught up, I’ll be putting my painting service back up and taking new commissions for painted items. But I’ll be keeping tabs on it, and taking it down to play catch up as need be. But don’t worry, I’ll always put it back up… eventually. So if you’re not good with painting but want to get your hands on some of my items, I’m always available to paint them for you.

That’s about it for today. Hopefully, some of you can take advantage of some of these offers. Here’s the links you’ll need to keep tabs on everything:

From the workshop of StarWarsGeek:

“Made this from a Spider-Man Legends Electro figure from the ASM2 line. Scratch built belt and harness out of several 1:18 belts pieced together.

Question… hexagram on outfit sleeve or no? I haven’t added it yet but planned on it, but after discussing it with some people, they claim it’s not supposed to be there and is wrong.”

From the workshop of StarWarsGeek:

“I put this together over the past few months and finally got him completed last weekend during the Fighting1:18 custom meet. He was originally going to be some sort of Cobra-La warrior but I don’t know if he fits in with that theme… I named him “Ba’al” and I guess he’s most likely some sort of hellish demonic dude.”

From the workshop of StarWarsGeek:

So yeah, this guy is finally done. He’s much more ‘traditional’ Samurai then Military, but I have more Military version in the works as well.

Mostly made from a resolute Storm Shadow with parts of the Ages of Action Samurai. Ball jointed wrists were added using LEGO levers (thanks to Obi-Shinobi for that one!) and the scabbard is a coffee stirrer flattened out. LEGO canvas (another Obi-Shinobi idea!) for the sash as well.

Swappable heads and 2 helmets – vintage style and a more ‘Ceremonial’ version. Not crazy about how the vintage one fits but I love the larger one.

From the desk of StarWarsGeek.

“This is an older project, I think around 2010 or 2009 maybe. It started out as a personal project, and then someone offered to purchase it, so it went out the door… created from a ChapMei snake and some SDS parts and random fodder stuffs. I wanted something a little Lovecraftian for ol’ Golob since the story of Cobra-La seemed just a tad Lovecraftian to me when I first read it.”
