    Which One are You in the Self-Checkout?

    This is a custom set I've been working on for awhile.

    Any feedback is great, but I'd really love it if you all would answer the question in the post title.

    Link is here.

    Thanks for looking!

      That is reallllllly cool, I love seeing people playing with their toys.
      You should try to get some small money and put in their hands, or even a visa card.
      Very good.

        Oh I would be the guy in the back, trying to buy a few items whilst Gandalf in front trys to find his coupons.

        That basket and trolly look great.
        The whole set-up is just perfect. Well done.

          I try not to do the self check out thing unless the store is packed,but I always get that stupid sign that says find an employee for more help

            I am usually the guy stuck behind some POS that is buying a whole cart full CR*P, in the 15 items or less line, who then gets all mad if I comment on it. Right, like it's my fault they are illiterate, and rude, and totally inconsiderate.

              Very cool set-up...especially the miniature spidey!

              I use self-checkout so that I can get out quickly and not have to watch the employees standing around doing nothing

                Now THERE'S a face sculpt that looks somewhat like Terence Stamp---if you smoothed
                the face surface out a bit---got rid of the rooted hair ---and painted the slicked back hair
                appropriately--it'd make a cool "SUPERMAN MOVIE" GENERAL ZOD

                  Self-checkout is still relatively new here, I only know of one chain using it so far. But I don't go shopping all that much, so that doesn't mean a lot

                    This area is soooo backwards the local W-M actually took out the self checkouts. Now I have to wait in the one line that is open behind the guy with pork and beans and a 12 pack of TP.

                          I have to agree with Ant here, the walls are way too close.

                          The second picture down where it pretty much is just a close up of the clerk isn't bad, but the rest look like the set is gonna fall down on the actors of the high school play.

                            Heh..this is great!

                            While I detest the self checkout system, and refuse to use it, I do seem to always get stuck behind the geezer hippy dudes who gave up bathing in the fifties in the till line up. Judging by the look on Bundys face, Victor hippy there has done just that...or just released some pent up Taco bell machinations!
