1/6 Hot Toys - CMS 011: Boba Fett Arena Suit (Toy Fair 2022 Exclusive)

[MyenShi]

Thank you very much for this very well explained reply.

I would want to get one, but when I see Ebay price that is ridiculous for a repaint. Hope there will be more for all of us they want one

I hope you and everyone else that wants it can get one.

I find it hard to picture them leaving money on the table and they seemed to make past Toy Fair exclusives in excess for Sideshow (you can still get the figures from last year) so it would be really unusual for this to be truly gone already.

Fett sells but demand didn’t really feel that insane initially. People who’ve done this for a while know the way this all went down was very unusual. Hopefully that translates to some good news for those that missed out in the future.

Another set, with only Sideshow's watermark:

So Sideshow officially said that their quantity is gone. They had gone through all the orders and made sure to cancel many orders where people went above the 2 limit. Chris Pirotta of Sideshow is currently talking about it right now with people in their "metaverse". However, he did say some people will be getting off the waiting list shortly

Thanks for the update for the folks here on the waitlist. By “getting off the waiting list” do you mean Sideshow said people will start getting waitlist conversions?

Hope some people here get the figure if so. But they’re going to have to be quick since they don’t reserve waitlist items for individuals anymore.

Thanks for posting the update Jedi_Col

+1 on MyenShi's question.

For a figure this sought after, you should have a limit of ONE per.

It was. Cart wouldn’t let you checkout with more than 1.
At least, that was my experience.

So is the time of exclusives actually being exclusive upon us now?

It used to be that way, until HT and Sideshow realized they could make a lot more money selling lots of them. Just a guess but I think because so many people are no longer pre-ordering that they are going to short print some figures like this one.

I don't know the cause of the Holiday Fett becoming so sought after, but I see this Fett going for big money in a very short time. Something that really is limited, super popular character, great looking from a "canon" source - all the parts are there.

Yeah this is already going for stupid prices on ebay.

 

[user 67922]

It won’t take long before this is fetching higher prices than DS Anakin.

That one was just definitely FOMO after being sold out and just hype from his return because I had friends who couldn’t even sell their originally.

At the end of the day, Boba always sells. My rule of thumb has always just been to buy them and figure it out later because more often than not, you’ll be paying more later.

Yes, sorry for the ambiguous wording. It had been a long day and it was strange conversation. But yes, by getting off the waitlist, he said they should be converting. So, everybody on the wait list keep an eye out and you'll have to move fast. He wouldn't say how many they had gotten in total, he wouldn't say how many they had canceled, and he wouldn't say how many would be released to the wait list. He just said that once they realized how fast it went and the demand that they went through every order to make sure limits were followed and canceled any that exceeded.

He used the example of someone with six. I don't know if that was a legit order or if he was just using those as an example. Obviously the limit was one, but we all know how people try to get around that with the multiple accounts and multiple shipping addresses and such. So they really did a lot of snooping to make sure that all the orders were legit and followed the strict one per person and canceled the ones that weren't. So I really have to give them props for that.

I hope those on the wait list here get them. I had missed out on the Black Series Boba Fett arena. I don't really collect Black Series anymore, but I will pick up the occasional. Luckily, I set up a website monitor and I was able to grab one when it came in stock real quick yesterday. But anyway, it was real nice for Chris the VP of marketing for sideshow to sit and chat with us for a while in the meta verse. He answered a lot of questions about a lot of things.

No worries. Mostly knew what you meant. Congrats on getting the Black Series version.

@endor1 said they saw the limit at 6 briefly which is their standard household limit. Might be that they had it at that accidentally.

But for the most of the short time it was up I think it was 1 or 2. I put my order in early morning so I don’t recall.

It’s a shame people try to circumvent the household limit but glad they tried to clamp down on it. Hopefully other people on the forum will see conversions because of it.

 

[BurningRage]

They should ban those accounts imo.

They say they do if they catch people maliciously trying to go around the limit by making multiple accounts on their own.

I received an email from sideshow that my flexpay will start next month.
