My New Toy, Part 3

Oh no, not another one....


Yes, another one. This time it is Boba Fett, second only to Darth Vader.

Vader: We have rescued Boba from the Sarlacc. Now to revive him. 

Stomtrooper: Yes, Lord Vader.


Vader: Look at him, powerless. We will need him for our mission.


Stormtrooper: How will we revive him?

Vader: I will use the 'FORCE'. 

Stromtrooper tremble with fear.


Vader: He is different from us as he comes with batteries already inserted into his body. All we need to do is to pull this tab. For that I will use the 'FORCE".


The Pull Tab shakes and is slowly pull out of Boba Fett's body.


Vader: It is done. He is ALIVE!!! Muahahahahahahaha.... Errr sorry, over done.


The Pull Tab lies unused by the side of Boba Fett's body.


He is alive but the time has to be reset to the correct time.


Evidently the module used in the Boba Fett clock is different from the old ones as used in Darth Vader and the Stormtrooper. There is no longer the 24 hour display function.


Vader: Boba, are you OK?

Boba: I never felt better. What is the plan?


You can see the different back light used for the different models: Red for Vader, Orange for the Stormtrooper and Green for Boba Fett.


Vader: OK, here is the plan. We will sneak into Cloud City and force Lando Calrissian to help us. If he does not, we will destroy Cloud City. Boba, you will come with us and you can have Han Solo. 

Boba: ????

Stromtrooper: Errr Lord Vader...

Vader: WHAT? 

Boba: We already did this in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. 

Vader: I am getting too old for this.

My new toy, part 2

Yes another one.



This time it is a Stormtrooper.


Finally I have my Stormtroopers to do my bidding.....


Time to get him working.


I will use the force to lift him.


I need to power him up. Now to gain access to his power source.


Yes, the Stormtroopers are also made in China. Oh those lies they told us about clones.....


Finally I have access to his power source.


Like me, I will make him green as well.


Muahahahahaha... he is alive.


Adjust to the correct time.


Up and functioning.


You will now do my bidding. 


Ignore that green thing in the background. We need to capture the rebels.

My new toy....

I had to get this. Every kid who grew up in the 70s and 80s should have one. Something from Lego and from its Star Wars collection.


Yes, a Darth Vader Alarm Clock.


Darth Vader all tied up. We are safe at the moment.


Oh no, he is out of the box. Yes, I will free you..... Oh no, I fell for his Jedi Mind Trick.


Darth Vader, free at last.


But he is not alive. 


Yes, the rumours are true. He is battery powered and yes, he is made in China.


Ready to receive his power system.


Darth Vader is really in tune with the times, green batteries. :)


He is ALIVE!!!!


Time adjusted and light working. But is the Force with him?


Darth Vader "I find your lack of faith very disturbing". Arggggg.......
