Poor People.

Give yourself an early birthday present then:

I pre-ordered from Action Figure Xpress back in Sept. 2011 and used a 5% off coupon. Looking forward to this figure.

Since this is coming out in June now, I'm wondering what the odds are for a SDCC Exclusive variant on him? An ROTJ version would definitely have it's own release but I wonder if they'd go McQuarrie?

I think we'll see a repaint as an exclusive before a redesign.

The current Fett in Holiday Special colors with tuning fork accessory perhaps.

it sure looks great,but i wont spend any money on this design

I would. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

 

[Khev]

I would. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Ditto. I'll probably get every movie based and EU/concept Fett they make save for anything having to do with Daniel Logan. If the ANH:SE Fett is a unique design I'd pass on that as well.

Isn't that the perfect SDCC Exclusive then, one that is desirable but one that people can pass on without worrying about it?

I would. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

I would buy two if they included the alternative helmet.

 

[Batty]

Yep. I love that they used the concept helmet in the new Clone Wars episodes.

 

[Reefer Shark]

Very cool - I like the idea of 1/6 concept figures. I probably wouldn't be able to resist, especially if they started doing the Sith..

 

[MClass]

I knew I recognized that helmet from somewhere!

 

[eggsmas]

guys, what do you think the best 1/6 boba out right now is? are any of them any good? I will buy the sideshow one when it comes out, but I would like to get another one as well. I am thinking about getting a 1/6 boba model vinyl kit and painting him myself, but my painting needs some work.

I don't think an SDCC exclusive would make sense for this. The figure has to be 100% new to be accurate to the artwork. I wouldn't buy a white colored ESB Boba Fett.

 

[The Mike]

Hmmm....good point, although I'd love it. Maybe Holiday Special Boba? It's been done before...

 

[ZaCHw117]

Yep. I love that they used the concept helmet in the new Clone Wars episodes.

Whatever happened to the cartoon version of The Cole Wars? I liked that series much better. Isn't there suppose to be a live action SW TV show just about Fett?

Are the new Clone Wars just about bounty hunters? That'd be cool. Maybe I'll catch a few eps.

Just got this Email from SS:

Reply directly back to this email with your order number so we can apply the discount. *Please keep in mind this discount cannot be combined with reward points*

I think I'll go for the reg. The stand would have been left in the box anyway. Interesting that they reckon they won't have any cancellations.

 

[OSCORP]

I am going to cancel the EX SOON (getting the reg from elsewhere)

I think they will have many cancellations. Most like me just ordered cause it's a kickass looking figure but when crunch time comes the ex is just blah and many will get it cheaper elsewhere.

 

[shocktrooper_au]

Cancelled mine from Sideshow as well, buying locally will have to wait about a month longer though ouch!

that is just bad business by sideshow and pure laziness imo....they will have plenty of cancellations once this starts to ship.....

 

[EXOTICLEX]

but they are giving you $10 off if you order the reg version....wow...way to make up for it SS....should offer free shipping as well..
