I know. LAME!
Once upon a time....
yup.
This guy looks awesome but I think I'm going to pass. It's OT, classic character and all but I have to draw the line somewhere and I'm sticking to the core scooby gang.

still think that the heels would have been a better exclusive, but AWESOME on the cantina being so cheap.

I like it. No rush in getting it, so I'll wait 1-2 years for a clearance to pay around $30

I am actually a bit disappointed with the cantina set. Atleast they could have given a cardboard backdrop..
I agree. The poster has a nice aesthetic, but it is simply a gratuitous piece for the sake of charging $5 more (unless it some SE addition/abomination I refuse to acknowledge).
Sideshow should have either not bothered with an exclusive or done something that actually meaningfully ties in with the films. The pink heels would be a brilliant twist reminding us of the real-life production and would be a fun conversation piece.

Smart man.
I have learned you can save alot of cash nowadays if you wait. Some things I dont but not many.
BTW This looks great but not my cup of blue milk!

Any word yet on the size of the poster?
Yes!! I know there was more than one!
Another one here.
My slight disappointment being, there is no wall nor floor to the environment piece.
I usually pick up the Exclusive version of every figure, even if I don't care for the extra piece, but this time I refuse to pay an additional $5 for some fanart poster.
Greedo looks incredible and the regular edition is certainly a must buy for me, but $90 still seems steep for a doll furniture set that easily could have been realized in different materials for far less. As this line continues to expand over the years, I find myself less and less interested in throwing hundreds of dollars away on fragile polystone add-ons for my figures. It's a shame everything has to made out of expensive, brittle and heavy materials to be marketed as "high end."

You think $90 is over priced? Its a steal considering the other poly add ons they've done lately!
Paying $90 for two tiny chairs and a little table doesn't sit right with me. Sure, it may sound cheaper when compared to other (needlessly expensive) thrones and environments being pumped out by Sideshow. But isn't that sad? When $200 becomes acceptable for a chair, and $90 seems like a bargain? I bit the bullet for Jabba's throne. I sucked it up for the Emperor's chair. I winced and ordered the Han in Carbonite piece. But as time goes on, I'm realizing more and more how ridiculous it is to pay the price for these things. They simply don't have to be as expensive as they are. Polystone is not the end-all-be-all of materials.
I feel Crasis do have a point. We find this one inexpensive cause past pieces have been over priced. The table and chairs are not complicated items.
Edit:I didn't see Crasis's reply before typing.
If its life-size I might just decide to get the ex.

Will probably grab both the exclusive Greedo and the environment on Friday.

Yeah, I'm not paying 5 bucks for an undersized poster... In fact unless it's full size I'll just go through a different retailer (BBTS) and pay 5 bucks less for the non-ex than I would through SS and avoid sales tax.... That might be close to a $20.00 difference between buying the EX through SS as compared to the non-EX through BBTS....
Likewise here. I would save on the delivery fee if I place order with my local retailer. The difference that I need to pay for the EX would come close to US$45.
