re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

$350 is what I was expecting on this one... since there's no exclusive I'll either get it from a retailer or just wait for a deal like I did with the Dewback and Yoda's Hut.

I'll go on record as shooting for $275 shipped

As for Luke, he's overpriced. I'll still be buying, but he's just not a $200 figure.

I agree, however, he's right on target when you compare him to Hot Toys pricing.

You can buy a Ford for the same price as a BMW, and let me tell you, no Ford at any price has the quality of the lowest end BMW. What's my point? There is no point. Exactly.

Would be real nice of SS to offer a discount on 2 given that many will pair both with Luke and Han. As is, and given the slow sales of their other 1:6th scale accessories, I don't see pushing the price point here. Still looks good and will patiently wait for a deal on this.

re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

Will probably have to wait for a deal locally with free postage, may mean I will get it for the original us retail price if I'm lucky

I wish some of the talented artists/sculptors here would make a 1/6 scale Tauntaun that blows away the SS one and beats them on price!

I wish I had a tree in my backyard that dropped golden coins. Ahh, fantasy. I posted something like this in the Luke thread. I'd be surprised if anyone anywhere, regardless of talent,could produce something half as good on a small scale for twice the price. It's just not economical to do so. I'd be extremely surprised to find someone with painting talent alone to paint something like this for under $300.

Expected this to be cheaper than the Dewback. No too worried though as it's gonna be a slow seller and give me time to save.

Agreed the tauntaun is pretty darned good with swap out accessories, heads and horns ssc has given us some good display options for a statue, otherwise they could charge $300 with one head and one set of accessories, boy would we hear how ssc was gouging the customer if we had to buy 2 tauntauns for a Luke or Han display

You guys should read the whole preview page. It has the price right on it.

The regular and Exclusive versions of Commander Luke will each be priced at $199.99, and his Tauntaun will be priced at $349.99. Payment plan options will be available for both!

Definitely debating if I'm going to order this with Luke but may wait and see if price drops like Dewback. Hmm decisions decisions.

Awesome. Good for you. I was actually putting that up for others speculating on the price. But good to know you were paying attention.

re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

Well I mentioned $300 so I thought you where confused

Looks great SSC...the pricing...not so.
