Wow! You're right ! Less noticeable... Maybe...

Just put a studded collar on the Tauntaun and call it a day. Or drape the reins in front of the seam.

$2500 animatronic Tauntaun in 2020 FTW.

2025 and $3000 minimum. And I'm out unless I can see its breath and it smells bad.

I think some did this quite well didn't they?

You can drape the reins a certain way that completely conceals the seam, but I don't feel it looks as natural. Either way its a bit of a tradeoff. Wish they had just sold both han and Luke taun tauns for a little less money as static statues, but then they would probably be stuck with a lot of unsold han versions. If you are a fan I wouldn't let it turn you off enough to pass. Its a centerpiece type collectible at a reasonable price in today's market, love looking at mine.

Ugh. Did this have a "low quantity alert" I missed or something? Damn....I was trying to accrue some more rewards points to help with the cost on this one and bam! Chance gone....

Oh well.

Haven't seen any alerts on anything in a long time. Caught me by surprise too. BBTS has a bunch and you'll save on shipping, but have to pay retail for the item itself.

That's what I was doing. They don't give warnings anymore, at least I haven't seen any. STINKS!

Surprised that this is already gone at sideshow. If you are on the fence about this I would jump on it now, I'm thinking about getting a second from bbts. The only thing stopping me is the size(box is enormous). Long term this piece is a winner that will be very expensive imo. Its a terrific showpiece with very short availability, and covers memorable scenes in one of the most loved films of all time. Maybe hot toys will revisit hoth han/luke but I highly doubt we ever see another taun taun.

Exactly right good post!

I just found this on SSC Customer Support page.

We do have a "low quantity" alert that does go up when items are running low on stock.

I guess I'm blind.

 

[jedibear]

....or you blinked. I visited that page very regularly and never saw it. It just went away.

it's been waitlisted. honestly, didn't see this coming this soon.

You should have, I mentioned it last week.

Tonight was the opening of a new pop culture store in my town with an opening special of 20% off. Picked up the only Tauntaun they had. Paid a little over the USD price in AUD which given our exchange rate is pretty darned good at the moment. Will set up this weekend. Very happy to add this to the collection.

I want a 2nd one. I did not expect it to get waitlisted this soon either. I was waiting for a discount. Got on waitlist.

 

[jedijim3002]

Yes! On the wait list. Can you use rewards on wait list items?

Good question. Anyone?

 

[Pixelpiper]

BBTS has a lot of these in stock still - send some business their way. It'll be cheaper than at Sideshow after shipping too as a bonus.

 

[jedijim3002]

So nono on the rewards? Gotcha. [emoji22]

Thanks pix. I thought about going that route but if there is anyway I can contact them after or "if" it coverts to use rewards I'd save a whole lot more.
