1:6 Old Ben Preorder Thread

[Cocoboloboy]

Good lord... that's quite a bit of traffic...
So who really cares about the Leia hologram?

After what we all went thru today I don't think you need to ask.

Actually, I do. This particular exclusive accessory is a must have, like the Mynock or Jango's head. It would have been nice to have gotten the table it was projected onto at Ben's house, though.

So phone orders from today will get their points as well? Is that what I read a few posts back?

 

[Xander]

I just order a regular Ben so I can have a Spirit version too. No sense in having two eclusives, that kills somebody elses fun.

Personally I really think the Leia looks like an ice blue gummie bear. But I really want that gold foil sticker! I'm an exclusives whore now. I blame it all on Assajj and her double heads then there was SDCC Luke. Man I can't wait for the next 12" announcement!

 

[MaulFan]

Well, we'll never know, but I stand by my prediction that had this PPO gone smoothly like Leia's, he'd have been gone in 30 minutes.

 

[Ultimate Weapon]

I might need another 24 hours before the next announcement - this was enough of a rush for one day - still riding the wave.

Me too.. now I kind of wanna score Anakin's ex. holo-Emperor....

Was able to order one for a friend who had asked, was able to get it on-line right around 1:15 EST.

Hmmm
I see.
I don't really care about exclusives, so I was wondering if people really cared about the "exclusivity" of an item more than the actual "exclusive" item.

Seems to be the case.

 

[Memnoch]

Is there a 2 limit on Obi Wan's regular? I may eventually get them because I want a "spirit" version and I want parts to do a "spirit" Anakin like Pix.

 

[Darklord Dave]

So Farmboy Luke and ANH Han still have the "1977" wringer to go through. Hopefully they'll abandon this idea.

 

[chamildav]

I went ahead and put in a wait list reservation. I suppose if the SSC Gods want me to have it, I will, and if not I'll survive without the hologram exclusive. I'm just sorry I wasted the better part of two hours on this to end up on the wait list. You'd think they might have worked the bugs out of the ordering system by now.
And I still think this type of item should be an INCLUSIVE, not an EXCLUSIVE. I could care less if the edition size is larger than 1977. I know the statue folks worry about value apreciation but that's a pretty tiny issue for most toy collectors.

 

[Darth Caedus]

That kind of P1sses me off. We had to wait and didn't know for sure whether or not we would get an obi-wan or not, while the easy way out was for the phone order. Now the people who didn't want to risk it get the points as well. That's messed up.

Yeah, once Adam gets it I'll probably order a second as well.

It's not necessarily a bad idea, the Leia PPO went smoothly and had like a 30 minute sell out window and it seemed like everyone that wanted one got one. For an ANH Han and FB Luke, they would just need to learn from today and have the servers prepared, like they did for Toy Fair.

Many of us HAD to order by phone because we couldn't get online, why not honor RP fro those who tried to order online but couldn't? not our fault SSC Servers weren't working. And easy way out? You MUST be joking, it took some of us an hour to get through...

The phone was not so easy a way out, some had success with it, but I and many others tried and tried more times than a rational person would have, with minimal success, I was just fortunate that Buttmunch hooked me up and helped me out putting the order through online while he had a connection.

I was refreshing 3 computers and redialing on the phone like a madman.

In the end it was Buttmunch who helped me out as well.

Okay, first round is on me!!

No offense Dusty-- but since CIV you've aged horribly..................:monkey4

Can I have a beer though?
