Zappa_0 Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Seriously, I got a Naboo cruiser off ebay for very cheep and was wondering if anyone here knew where to get some replacement parts of a J-Type Noobian cruiser? Hehhehe. Any help would be great!
El Sitherino Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 I hear the Toydarian dealer in Mos Espa has a Noobian.
Zappa_0 Posted September 6, 2005 Author Posted September 6, 2005 I am being serious, I got the ship off of ebay for like 30 dollars and its missing alot of stuff. Was gonna try to resell it on ebay, but no one even bidded on it. So I am stuck with it. So now im gonna try to find the parts to fix it back up into a better condition.
Katarn07 Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 No clue. Brian has replacement parts and repro stuff only for vintage stuff to my knowledge. But the PotF2 line and TPM is getting up there in age. Perhaps he or Cloud City or other places will start to provide the same sevice they do vintage stuff. eBay is your best bet. *shrug* I got that ship for Xmas. Pretty neat scene I got, but even cooler play ability.
Leviathan Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 I hear the Toydarian dealer in Mos Espa has a Noobian. What does "noobian" stand for ?
Katarn07 Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 What does "noobian" stand for ? It doesn't stand for anything. People and things from the planet called Naboo are called Nubians or Noobians. No, they're not related to the people from Africa either.
daring dueler Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Uh id say buy anpther fro 5 bucks like you shoulda to begin with...30 was way too much for a loose one.
ZBomber Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Got the new Rolling Stones CD!!!!! ...And yes... just buy a cheap used one.
Zappa_0 Posted September 7, 2005 Author Posted September 7, 2005 I actually got this from Brain. Well maybe later down the road I will just get one off of ebay...a full one. And I might try to do something with the one that I have now, maybe do a custom ship or something.
Leviathan Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 It doesn't stand for anything. People and things from the planet called Naboo are called Nubians or Noobians. No, they're not related to the people from Africa either. It is worthy of a question of The Official EU Trivia Thread... Objects coming from Naboo are (perhaps) called Noobian, but not Nubian ! This last word designates objects from Nubia...
Zappa_0 Posted September 8, 2005 Author Posted September 8, 2005 I just used Noobian, because the other way didnt look right. Plus thats what Qui-Gon told Watto in Episode 1.
Katarn07 Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Yeah, it's not EU. It was stated right in TPM....
El Sitherino Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 I just used Noobian, because the other way didnt look right. Plus thats what Qui-Gon told Watto in Episode 1. Yeah... that's why I thought you were just dicking around. Referencing and what not. Sorry that I didn't get you really needed replacement parts.
Zappa_0 Posted September 9, 2005 Author Posted September 9, 2005 Actually I do need replacement parts for the ship. Its about half empty. It has just one landing gear, thats how bad it is. Doesnt even have the red r2. And plus missing a panal on the top side of it. Thats why I came here to see if any of you knew any sites or something that sold replacement parts. I think I might post over at the TFN collecting boards. I would really like to get the parts then buying another ship for about 100 dollars.
Katarn07 Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 And you payed $30 for this? Man, you got screwed!!! Sorry to say, but good luck selling that for near what you paid and finding a cheap, complete ship off eBay. That may be your best bet. It would be different if it were vintage but there are a ton of collectors now who probably haven't even opened that thing yet.
Zappa_0 Posted September 9, 2005 Author Posted September 9, 2005 I wouldnt say I got screwed, I knew what I was getting and was planning to try to do some custom work with it. And ive already gave up selling it back. Ive paid a really close watch on ebay for cheap buys but a new in package will cost over 100 dollars and an opened one for 50 or higher.
Leviathan Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 I just used Noobian, because the other way didnt look right. Plus thats what Qui-Gon told Watto in Episode 1. What did Qui-Gonn tell to Watto ? "Noobian" or "Nubian" ?... (I prefer to be sure of the answer...)
Katarn07 Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 Wow, I didn't know that ship was worth that much. That's nice to know. I know my Target Y-Wing goes for big bucks, as does the AT-AT (which I never got ), and the AT-ST and Snowspeeder (either packaging) goes for 50-60. At least from Brian. Nice to know that.
ZBomber Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 Pfft, they were selling it at TRU 2 years ago for 50 in box.
Zappa_0 Posted September 10, 2005 Author Posted September 10, 2005 You can get an At-St on ebay for about 15 dollars now. Ive got an AT-AT which I got from kay bee toys for around 100 dollars. Which still sells for about that price on ebay. Brian isnt cheep, ebay is the way to go if you wanna get some ships for good prices. Just keep an eye out for those new sellers that sells for low prices that they dont know how much they could really get. Ive got some good deals that way.
El Sitherino Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 The only place I know to get toy parts is my local comic shop. Can't really help you. You could try hitting up some comic shops though. Maybe some antique stores, I've seen a lot of Star Wars stuff at some lately. Old ladies selling off toys they had (for their grandkids to play with) not realizing how much they're worth.
daring dueler Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 Man i think im only missing the fx x-wing for ships....well im missing the new slave 1 too...didnt care to get it.
Zappa_0 Posted September 12, 2005 Author Posted September 12, 2005 The Ep2 Slave 1? That is actually a nice ship, looks more real then the old potf2 one. Well the potf2 ship was nice, you could store cargo and stuff in it when your playing with it, but the ep2 one is really cool to have setting out.
