RoCKo Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Thanks for the heads up, John, but i think i'll stick with my real UP90 Shires siphon... I was able to find one some time ago in a UK shop after s long journey of endless email inquiries. Unfortunately not the one with these small fins at the tube end but otherwise accurate. But since i'm convinced that not all siphons were the same... i'm fine with mine! Ahhhhmmm, i might overthink this, i really like these little, tiny, small fins a lot.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm56 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Ahahah , everybody is looking ebay here A little big the UP100 , on the sandtooper backpack it look like a UP90 no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henselmonster Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Depends on the pack. The move along pack is definitely the UP90, but the 100 can be modified to the same height as the 90 pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwam Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 There was used definitifely both Syphons, the UP90 and the UP100. Example: On the Pack #3 "Move along" is a UP90, on the Pack #4 is a UP100: Pack #1 looks like UP90, Pack#2 & #5 looks like UP100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwam Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 And ... there are two variations, with and without fin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure to ask if it’s removable... caveat emptor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm56 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Very interessing so if they used the up 100 too, thanks for the info. It is me or this shires siphon is very expansive? it start at 90 £ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoCKo Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Expensive yes but since the known spare parts sellers were recently contacted by literally dozens of Star Wars enthusiasts about thesesiphons they definatly know about our desire. That's free enterprise economy, mates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoCKo Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Me not, i'll stick with mine for now! ...at least untill i will be able to score a correct real vintage UP90 with fins! The one in this auction as well as mine and the ones shown on the pictures above aren't exactly what was used at least on the "Move-along" backpack! It's the closest match but i assume a updated model from a few years later in history line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4vrick Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 It has to be someone from MEPD lol... i am 90% sure of it! Only sandies are that crazy to pay a lot for a toilet part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDPE STORMY Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Yes me. Never though I would one day pay so much for a toilet syphon, but after getting scammed paying 30 euros for one and never receiving it....... Got tired of looking everywhere on the internet, all the Uk supplier seems to be out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoCKo Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Anthony, haven't seen you for ages... where have you been? Great to have you back! Starting a TD, mate? Welcome to the sandpit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDPE STORMY Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Hey Roger good to hear from you mate , How is it going? I took a break from replicas to focus on my screen used collection, mostly from Dredd (2012) and Batman Reurns. No matter how hard I try I always seem to be drawn back to SW though, especially with all the lineage stuff made available by RS,. Have you seen the Snowtrooper helmet ? (one of my favourite costumes of all times) I've also been blown away by the great research made public by this communnity on found items for the sandtrooper backpacks. And yes I've decided to build a 'Someone was in the Pod" trooper display using all the vintage and best parts available. What about you? Are you going for a "Move Along" replica display? Do you have a progress thread somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Neill Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 There's a UP100 toilet syphon on the UK eBay market atm. You're welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
