Hey guys,
I have a question I'd like to ask that has plagued me for months. For those of you who buy parts from places such as the excellent custom parts resources Broken Arrow Toys or Tri-gate Creations (plug plug ; ) ) do you ever find yourself holding onto an item you bought out of fear you'll waste your chance with it?
What I mean is I've got maybe twenty or thirty Broken Arrows/TGC items pieces, and I am constantly worried that as soon as I use this head or that torso on a custom, a Hasbro-produced item will come out that was more fitting for the custom I was trying to pull off than what I made it with... effectively making me create something lackluster with said speciality items?
Everytime I assemble a character that includes one of these parts, I psyche myself out thinking "I just know Hasbro is going to make the better robot feet or gunbelt I need soon" and just let them sit in their plastic 'project' bags, mocking me with their idleness. XD
And to be fair, maybe it doesn't have to be specific to those two sources... I just think they're the most common spots to find one-of-a-kind style items.
Tom
PS - Al, I'm sorry I have used the items you've made so sparingly... but, it should be a testament to your work that I can't bring myself to risk not making anything short of PURE ART with them. ; )
