Can anyone link me to the non-exclusive? I want to place my order but don't want to place down a NRD right now since I'm not 100% on this one.

Had a feeling about the NRD on Grievous, guess the perk is the reward points at the end of the rainbow. Flex pay ordered him, hope it gets a little pushed back, like May. Got a lot of things coming in February.
Hahaha I know how ya feel, I'm in same boat and still tons coming up!

Click on the exclusive, then in the address bar delete the number 1 at the end of the product number. Hit return.

....and he can. Check out the video link in the post below....the guy really does an effective job of showing how solid the figure is. As others have mentioned, I wish SS would consider doing this kind of "in depth" video look at a finished figure...it really sold me....
...and all of that extra time that has elapsed since the General was first shown at SDCC was well-spent. A lot of great effort was put into making this figure really pop. Is it a little pricy? Well, yeah...but it isn't like SS is going to be able to re-purpose this one over and over (like the clones) and in addition to all of that well-spent R&D, manufacturing this guy is requiring a little more than the usual "standard body" - based figure.
I'm glad that video is out there....if all we had from Sideshow representing this figure right now was that gallery on the order page...well, let's just say it doesn't showcase the figure as much as someone's busy Photoshopping skills...too many of those shots look like big cakes with way too much icing....the figure is lost in them. Would like to see more shots of specific sections(close-ups) of the figure's details...in the case of Grievous, some chest cavity detail, a closer look at the faceplate (the regular one), the hands (highlighting the articulation), the cape lining...just to name a few....and some more extreme posing. Instead, too many of the shots feature the figure in almost the same basic few poses. A little less PS cleverness and more focus on the figure please.....
I'm looking forward to this one a lot...seems like the team at SS has a special affinity for the mechanical characters...both IG-88 and the battle droids turned out to be exceptional....looks like Grievous will too...
I just can't pay the NRD. Cheap azz, me.

Well...if that's all that's holding you back, take this suggestion....
...no NRD there unless you order 2 or more. No exclusive either but...

I want this but that bottom ankle joint is really odd looking, especially if hes posed more upright
Better plan: wait for waitlist and get on first.

Oh ok! thanks for that... i haven't brought any Sideshow figs before so this could be my 1st.. i really wanted the raynor originally but the price turned me off.

Cost is pretty reasonable when you consider it's been in development for almost three years, brand new molds for everything and it can't be repurposed for another release. Someone else mentioned that the full costs of R&D probably aren't even fully reflected in the retail price and I could see that.

I agree with the price point is reasonable for the work on grevious, i do however feel vader should have been around the $200 mark.

I have to get some illustration projects and commissions first to afford this.. do they usually set pre-order deadlines for this kinds of items?
