(in beginners hands)? i had my 1st sw4 booster and had a luke skywalker, but once i tried him out, i found out that to me he is more a bothering obstacle than a real threat to the opponent, at mine is very hard to hit with because the saber is almost diagonally up, when i try twisting him to get a good attack, the arms just snap up, highly irritating because i mostly let go and miss my attack when i try to get them down.. can anyone tell me how to properly use him because for now i kinda hate him...  |

Hm...
Most of us don't really use Endor Luke, but those that do say that if you rotate his hands so that his Lightsaber's behind his back it works better.

It takes a little pressure, but it's quite possible.

Yes Endor Luke does "bite the big one" but he is hard to K.O. and his power isn't bad.
But I never use him. I'm not very fond of Endor Solo either.

Thanks for the tip on moving the hands to the back. It worked great and I was actually able to knock out other figures. This was the first time I was successful with Luke.

Don't thank me for it, it wasn't my idea. I forgot who came up with it, but it wasn't me...

Well, whoever came up with it, THANKS! I think MM is finally starting to appreciate strikers now (strikers other than Wicket...  ). |

My Luke is also my worst figure and has no spring.

Yeah, Endor Luke is a hard figure to use, even using the aforementioned method. But it's fun using him, Han, some rebels and ewoks to kick some stormtrooper tail ;D I just wished they made a speeder bike attacktix mega. I'd make it a 12 speed with a rally special effect for more troopers. I guess I know what my next custom is ;D
Is anyone thinking of making an AT-ST custom?

They need a speeder bike that has a dual chance of effect like S1 Anakin. If white, Sacrifice a trooper to return this mega to the starting area. If black, opponent may put a Rebel in to play from backups.. |

I guess he's okay. With WD-40 that is! ;D

I think Malform came up with that - at least he's the one who told me. As for Luke, he does have one really good advantage - he's EXCEPTIONAL at killing smaller statured figures such as Jawas and the Ewoks. When his hands are behind him he has a very low saber-tip and that really helps.

To be technical and thorough, I actually think it was yodabreaker that first came up with the wd40 idea... I have been using vegetable oil rather than WD... It seems to be more slick, although slightly harder to apply in the right places.

I usually use WD-40 to ease the friction between the two halves of my strikers. As for the vegetable oil, wouldn't it go rancid? How exactly does that work?
