For anyone in the U.S. my LCS is offering 15% off all Hot Toys pre-orders with code HOTTOY15. They charge tax but shipping is free.
I will absolutely buy this version of Rustedrod if they either A) make an Episode 2 Anakin or B) release the Padme they teased years ago with updated sculpt. Otherwise I'll wait for OT 3PO.
Did they change their policy recently? Because the no expiration applied to fraudulent charges. Making a purchase and not receiving it falls under services not rendered which only covers you for 60 days.
People get excited because when HT put a figure up for pre-order it's guaranteed to be released. Everyone who buys these knows the waiting game is part of the process.
