I'm moving next month and I got a bunch of stuff I dont wanna have to move. I remember Joecustoms had a revolving box of customizing fodder they mailed around to each other.
In true ST6 spirit, anything they can do, we can do better (see Big Brawler).
I got a bunch of stuff and it's not all crap.
Instead of just limiting the selection to just Joe parts, all 1:18 goodies are game. Microman, Star Wars, Marvel Universe, bbi and so on.
Ground rules:
1) You take some out 2) You put some in 3) You mail it to the next guy 3a. You gotta be willing to mail it to Marcus and or Julien if they want in on this. 4) You HAVE to make a custom from JUST what is in the box and post it on the board.
Who's interested?

I'm interested. How big a box are you talking? A shoebox or a fucking refrigerator box? 4) You HAVE to make a custom from JUST what is in the box and post it on the board. What if I don't want enough parts to make a complete fig? Do I have to make a zombie of just an arm and a calf?

I dunno how big yet.
I havent put it together.
You can glue a bunch of fucking arms to someone's head and call it a custom, Jimbo.
But you gotta do something with the stuff in there for the board.

I'm going out of town for the weekend, I'll have something together by the middle of next week though.
Did anyone get the mass PM I sent out, BTW?

Mass PM? Which one about what?

Post by Hawkeye on Mar 11, 2010 18:25:06 GMT -5
That would be a "No" then.
I was trying to send a mass PM to everyone to get them to check out this thread and generate interest.

Oh well.
No, not moving to Buffalo. We're renting a house with my brother just south of Denver.

You start round 1; and the guy you send the box to will start round 2 once round 1's done? Does the box go back to the original sender at the end or does the last guy just get to keep a bunch of everyone else's shit ( Woo-hoo, I got 15 Duke heads!)?

Sign me up! I love fodder exchanges. Cool. No worries John. Hoping to keep this as a regular feature of the board. Maybe each round will be started by the next guy in the mailing rotation?

Does the box go back to the original sender at the end or does the last guy just get to keep a bunch of everyone else's shit ( Woo-hoo, I got 15 Duke heads!)? I think you could just keep it circulating through the list. If parts have been in there after a couple passes, take them out.

Taking crap out that aint moving isnt a bad idea.

So how do we track what moves and what don't? Who's gonna remember once it comes back to them what they put in that's still there, and how do we know that the Duke head I tossed in wasn't taken by the guy after me, and another Duke head thrown in a year later by the guy ahead of me; when all I see is me throwing a Duke head in and getting a Duke head back a year later? Do we send a spreadsheet with our additions in it - or better yet have a thread running (altho that might spoil the surprise for the next guy)?
/That's our Jimbo, always sucking the fun out of shit with too many asshole questions.

At Trigate they have someone on the list (just randomly selected) take pictures of the contents of the box, so that there's some reference as far as what parts have been languishing in there forever.
...and I probably won't be able to participate, but I REALLY suggest a 'no RoC launchers' rule. Otherwise, about half of the box is going to be those stupid things.

And how much are we allowed to take out? Do we take solely what we use for the mandatory custom we have to post as the price for participating, or can I take the Duke head because I know I wanna use it for something else I wanna do later on?
I presume it's also for pretty much anything 18th scale, right; not just Joe figs of one sort or another? Should it be only fig parts, or can I toss in a whole fig? What about vehicle parts?

Take out what you want, put in equal amount or more. You have to make a custom from parts found only in the box in addition to what you take out for your own use. I think you can put in anything that can be used for customs. And I agree with Darko, no ROC launchers.

What?! No ROC launchers?! How else am I supposed to get rid of the damn things? Seriously I could take over a small country with the number of launchers I have.

As I am starting the box with my stuff, feel free to take as much of it as you want, that's sort of the point.
Dave, I'll add you.
Send all ROC launchers to Darko, gottcha.

i guess I'm up for it.... of course I'm like a packrat hoarding every possible piece of fodder I run accross in hopes that I MIGHT just use it someday... which enevitably winds up with me getting stuck with a box of junk I won't ever use.
so is this solely going to be a "take what you need from box for made from box custom" or like others have asked if there is something we would like to hang onto for our own customs in the future can we take and hold onto things?
how long do we get to keep the box before sending it forward to the next person?
