we had some strong winds come through Indiana last night and one of my figures fell off my shelves. It was in a star case but the bubble completly separated from the card.. :(:(:(:( It was the Luke theater edition figure! I remember getting this figure in 1997 when I waited in line to watch the re-release it was one of my happiest memories in my life!!!:rolleyes Now I dont know what to do with it.. should I super glue it back? or just leave it in the star case? :cry:cry:cry

I gotta ask man, why do you display your SW stuff outside? :wacko :p;) But seriously, you might try to glue it back, always sorry to see anything break that we like. :facepalm
 
You might as well try to glue it back on somehow. I guess you can't really ruin it at this point since it already off the card???

yeah, that sux when stuff like that happens. I know how you feel!!! I had my complete ESB suit on a manny outside on my deck for some pics a few summers ago. Dog ran by & it took a 10ft nosedive off the deck!!!!!! Cracked up all kinds of stuff. Talk about a sad day!!!!!!
 
Echo what mobius said, don't use superglue!
I had the same problem with my Theater Luke figure last year. We moved, and from being jostled around in a moving box, the bubble seperated from the card. I had mine in a Star Case, too. :)
I used some contact cement to repair mine. There are a lot of different brands available. You just have to apply a small amount to both surfaces, let it set for a few minutes (read the directions), and press the bubble back onto the card.
I laid mine on a flat surface and used some square drinking glasses to weight down the bubble while the contact cement cured.
It's been strong ever since.
 
Your joking right? Will glue fix this too?


....it's my hand now. Ease up....life is too short to worry about bubble cards falling off shelves.

EDIT: Sorry if I came off brash, but given the topic I just thought I'd put up some perspective.

Whew! Man what happened? Chainsaw accident? Sorry bruv!

G-Fett
 
DL, I really feel for what happened to you man! :(

And vadr_h8r, dude the only thing left to do now is start playing with Luke in the sandbox bro! :lol: Things could be much, much worse, as you have been made fully aware.

:cheers
 
I don't want to turn this into a pity thread as I'll live and am getting more of my hand back each week and am healing. It'll be a bit of a road, but I'm lucky in that it could have been a lot worse initially and my healing could have taken me down a longer road, which, thankfully I will not have to go down. It was a table saw accident on 12/29/08 ....... again, just some perspective to Vadr_ :)
 
ewwwwww....... that hand looks bad....as for my card.. I think I will glue it back.. I never sell my figures anyways... its just knowing its not worth as much as it did...
