Owh, tat means the other two still can be found ? TRU still available ?

I havent seen local TRU stores bring in further SW vintage other than The Phantom Menace wave..maybe I missed out any other stores that did bring in.

Chances are slim, you can try though.

You are fortunate to spot this Malgus wave at selected TRU stores. I had to brave the jams and incidentally found Malgus and lost wave in KL area, the last place I want to look. Subang area also no chance for me. Got deadpool corps scouting the area.

Fr my observations, some place got lost waves and some got Malgus wave at the very last minute, least expected at all. Its all about luck..no Force.

good to know theres still star wars fans around . always snoop around but got nothing to say but wat u guys showed around here was quite useful nonetheless (thank u thank u). sharing a lil project for those troopers out there, still on the way and FAR from completion. anyone else wanna troop (bit by bit)? MR replica is TOO expensive and no way will pass our customs (unless someone here got ways la of coz)

-doopy doos E-11 MK2 mod kit + retail hasbro stormtrooper blaster with pew pew sounds (still long way to go, looking for tools)

hi guys..looking for starkiller..anyone got extra???

Welcome to SW LYT thread.

I recommend using E6000 Industrial Glue to fix those upgrades onto the Hasbro blaster. I think you can buy it from the Art Shop located at Mid Valley Gardens near Robinson entrance (I forgotten which flr, sorry). Its one of the best glue I used so far.

You may need to wash the Doopy Doo parts with dish washer liquid to remove the "oily" feeling. Or else later the paint spray wont appear nicely.


Use Swiss penknife or gergaji to potong the "unwanted" parts. And I oso sand off the embossed "warning" wordings on all parts.


Use rubber bands to keep parts in position while the glue cures for a day or two.




If have clamps, even better.


This is how the front nozzle should look like. It may looked one sided but its movie accurate. No wonder it lead to the "stormtrooper effect".


For spraying, suggest to use primer first before applying black (gloss or matte, u decide).

thanks for the tip dude. since at MV will check out ur recommendation for glu n all. been a long time since i did "modelling + painting" (long time cuti) so every bit of tip helps. yeah, the gun tip is a bit off-sided so i guess it IS why they always miss when u need em to hit something, hehe... . kudos to doopy doos, the kit does click nicely with the hasbro blaster.

got some elmers glue, all out of putty, last scalpel broke so need to replace, sandpaper etc etc. and oh yeah....matte, not gloss. think since im not rushing i'll try to trim n replace the fake screws with real ones. will update. cool to know got fellow trooper building blasters so thanks for sharin the tip

Found my Darth Malgus and Shae Vizla . Now wanna Look For Jango Fett and also Cape General Grevious....Anyone got extra or whr still available ?

Those orange caps on initial Hasbro E-11 blaster is a real killer to remove. They are glued permanently. You need to use the pen knife to tear them apart. Some ppl dun do that while upgrading. But I wanted to remove the fluro red casing in the gun barrel and also to spray several area in the inner casing. Its up to you to decide the best course.

See that screw bulging out of the bottom side of the barrel? If the Doopy Doo part cant insert in, dun go drill a hole on the Doopy Doo (as per the last image above). YOu can saw off a little and slot the DD part in. Easy does it. This DD part is quite hollow so I fill it up with some styrofoam glued to the inner part of the DD. Then I applied glue on the whole surface to connect to the Hasbro barrel.

Try to get E-6000 glue. If that art shop doesnt have any, try ebay. I got mine from a art craft online ebay store which happens to be located in Penang. This brand unfortunately is not available in ACE HARDWARE, sad to say but its good. Dem good.

yeah, I scoped out the art shop at gardens.

1. Found the e-6000, but also saw Elmer's which I'm very familiar with so skipped it after comparing
2. Just gonna saw off n grind the scope section + barrel tip (alredy studied the physical form of it n how to cut)
3. Good tip on washing the parts to free that oily feel.
4. Realised urs is the first revision of DDs, from the thing on top of the magazine. Mk2 slightly detailed
5. Nice cord werks, think I'll add that too.
6. Oh yeah, trimmed a bit of the screw under the barrel alredy from the start if not the "folding stock" couldnt fit from the start. Trimmed enough it locks in place.

Well, think I'll start tonight, trim + sanding. Hopefully complete by the week.
(EDIT, think i'll take a lil longer to b xtra careful )
