Earlier on, I think you all had told me that the LL Kadray figure came with a bazooka without the missile cap, however I saw a packaged MIP one that had the cap. I think there are some variations out there. Thought I would let everyone know.

Man, I'm really getting frustrated as of late with my Blackstar collection. None of the things I need has been popping up. In general, things have been scarce. I hate waiting!

Dudes, I finally won me an Ice Castle!! It comes with the box and is unbroken but it is missing the missile from the cannon. It's also the French version. I'm pretty stoked especially as I got outbid with only 20 seconds left and I barely made it! But looking at Turnbolt's Ice castle, I'm guessing that this also has two versions? The reason I say this is because the one I just one has a more defined paint job with the icey bits, especially on the mountain peak.

I prefer the all green version of Warlock. It is acurate to the tv series. But the yellow wing one comes with the cool saddle and well defined scales all over him. Pretty cool.
Congrats on you Ice Castle Pigboy!!!
Make sure they pack it well when they ship it to you otherwise you will have a million little broken plastic pieces when you open your box.
There is only 1 version of the Ice Castle. My friend and fellow forum member animateted repainted it for me and it looks amazing in person!!!!!

Ah right! Thats a pretty cool pain job in that case. Why did you get it painted Turnbolt? Were you just not happy with the original paint job or did it get damaged? Yeah, I made sure to tell the seller of the Ice Castle to take care as my Space Ship box pretty beat up as result of poor packing. Thanks for that bit of info Galaxy Warrior. I definetly more glad now that you told me that!

The all green warlock comes with some kind of clip. However, I have no idea how it attaches. That's why I don't care that I'm missing mine. It ends up being useless. You can see it in the picture above if you want to know what it looks like. Look at the bottom of the box.

it plugs in to his neck. and it allows blackstar to stay on warlock while the wings are spread.

Hmmm, sounds like I don't need that clip really at all then. It would just make him look goofy on his ride.

Got my Ice Castle this mornin and it appears to be in good condition. May need a few while bit's of paint on the snow here and there. It even had the original baggies too! Regarding the cannon: Are there any other missiles from another toy or whatever that can substitute for the one I am missing? and Can some one please take a pic (if they have the time) of how the gun is attached to the turret from underneath? What gets me is that the Ice castle does have some tougher plastic parts, Galoob were really being tight arsed with that really flimsy plastic on the main part huh?!

you have to slide the cannon sideways and then turn it to pull it through. i know words arent as easy to paint a picture of what to do.

The all green warlock comes with some kind of clip. Anyone know if Triton comes with a clip as well? I checked the saddle on mine and it looks like theres a hole where it would fit in.

For my part I have all the figure loose, but I don't collect the vehicules or the castle. Wish you luck on your hunt! Some of my figure miss some accessories, Klone, Mara, Lava Lock Monster and White Knight, as you could guess. I think I may be missing some Alien demon variant as well, but it's no big deal as I have a few of thems.
I jumped on the blackstar bandwagon as I was collecting Masters of the Universe. I still had Blackstar, Meuton, his demon and a trobit from my youth. When I realized the series was rather short, I started collecting them. It took me about two year to get all of them, they don't pop on E-Bay that much except for the very common figure.
Of course, it always come in wave.

Well, I was setting up my toy room, while watching my daughter, and low and behold, my daughter has my blackstar space ship in her hands, and has ripped the box right up. So, I now have an open, rather than boxed space ship. It is the colored one. However, I don't have the top fin that comes with it? Turns out, there wasn't one in the box. And no, my daughter didn't lose it, because I searched the entire area after she ripped it open. Anyone else run into this problem? Or am i just the only unlucky one.

Strange it didn't have a top fin? I don't have kids yet but I gotta keep the cats outa my toy room, they would cause major destruction. Sucks that it happened but at least the actual ship wasn't broken or anything .

Yea, she is only one, and I'm learning quickly, to keep her out of the room all together. I guess I'm now looking for the top fin for my ship. Maybe I can pick up a beat up ship somewhere. Has anyone noticed that Ebay is somewhat dry for Blackstar lately?

Yep been super dry lately, last year there was tons of stuff. Last night I found a Blackstar space ship yellow missile in a lot of weapons I just bought, kind of a bonus! I need 1 more missile and the bottom part of the stand to complete my ship. It is the white version.

Here's something I'd like your collectice opinion on.
The Ice Castle i got is a very good conditiond with only the missile missing. It's the French boxed version which by all accounts is better than the English boxed version.
I'd really prefer if I had the English box instead of the French box. I can get an Ice Castle from ebay that is MISB and in English but it's costly (bout £80 = $160). The ebay one's box is in great condition while mine has some wear.
Would I be stupid to try and by the one from ebay and then sell my own boxed french version? Would I get a lot for the french one?

I think you might have a tough time getting a lot, mostly because it is incomplete. Seems like there are more french boxes than there are english, but I could be mistaken.

Post by 10incher on Sept 21, 2006 20:52:04 GMT -6
Yeah, hard to say how much you would get for it missing only the missile. Chances are that you will never find a replacement missile. BTW, is it the same yellow missile that the Space Ship and Battlewagon use?

Post by THE KNOCK-OFF MESSIAH on Sept 22, 2006 10:01:19 GMT -6
it is not a yellow missile its a blue one like that of the castles color.

So it's been a while since anyone has posted here. My MIB Blackstar is now almost complete with all I'm missing is a Battle Wagon, Meuton, Mara and a few Trobbits.
However I'm having my doubts that I will ever complete my collection. Is it me or are the prices steadily going up? A MIB Meuton alone goes for nearly $60.
I put this down to the DVD of the cartoon beig released.
I take it nobody has any MIB stuff for sale?
And I'd like to know where I stand in terms of who has the best MIB collection?

Post by 10incher on Feb 28, 2007 15:11:42 GMT -6
Yeah, Mara is going to be a pricey one. The Battle Wagon does show up form time to time as well. If anyone needs a boxed Wind Machine, i think I may know where to get one, send me a PM.

Unfortunately for me, both my Wind Machine and Ice Castle are in French and I'd love to have english versions. So in the highly unlikely event that anybody ever wants to trade boxes, please let me know. I was thinking about doing a Blackstar poster. Is that something folks would be interested in buying prints of?

I finally got a Tobbit wind machin ;De plus it includes a full set of Trobbits and the box. The only thing is it has 2 repo poles (that hold the ballon) oh well I can deal you wont even be able to tell on display. Im so psyched I never thought I would score one of these as I was always getting out bid.

Post by matt on May 26, 2007 11:52:34 GMT -6
The repo poles are not to good. They were done by someone like me with no artistic abiltiy whatsoever. They will work for the time being (as long as they are put on the back) but I was also thinking about having them redone, maybe I can get someone over at He-man.org to do them for me as it should be easy enough and there are a lot of talented people over there.
