Anakin vs. Obi-Wan Diorama

This too expensive for you?

It's not too expensive so much as I've got a big trip I'm planning in August after I graduate so I have to justify spending that kind of money on it instead of putting it towards the trip. Plus once I buy this I'll have to order Duel of the Fates too so I have to factor that in.

So I sit perched on the fence waiting for smething to persuade me.

Is there anyone who doesn't love this piece?

It's been a highlight of Sideshow's overall output of 2007 (and 2006) for me, and so far only the Alien dioramas have lived up to the standard.

Of course, I have a hunch I'll love the Dookurama, too. The DOTF, though -- it's not clicking for me right now.

I just can't justify the price. I am sorry and I am a huge Sideshow fan. I just don't see how these dios are worth it. AT ALL! Sorry!

The same could be said man about some of the stuff you buy. Its worth it cause we that buy them deam them as such. Thats how I see it anyways. 2 me these capture the moments and the emotions in them.

This is hasbro and it captures the emotion at about $220 less than the Sideshow one. Explain that.

Oh and yes this is a piece of plastic. Josh I will fight you to the end on the dios. They are over priced. I will not call them names or any such thing. They are great sculpts and such. However, if I want miniatures I will play D&D.

You can feel that way. IMO the hasbro piece is a cheap toy that looks and feels cheap. It captures what you might find in a comic or something but not what came from the movie and book @ least to me.

The SS dios to me are some of the best pieces SS is doing right now. The paint, sculpts, and detail just capture everything I personally feel from these moments.

Your first post in this entire thread after I bump it from near death is to tell someone you think these are cheap plastic? Kind of lame BM? You drunk again?

Fight me on the dios? Go ahead. I like them and don't give a **** if you do. So there won't be any fight from me. Cause I think they're worth it and will keep buying the ones I like. Welcome 2 ignore.

lol why even bother dude? same song and dance with that guy. Josh does it again, you simply said your 2cents and yet he has to contradict you with his 2 cents. then when you make another comment he'll just say that it is his opinion and he's entitled to it.

 

[Vader AL]

what do people who own these think they are worth? I mean if there wasn't a listed price, what would you say it should be sold for?

just curious because I have wondered about the price but I haven't seen one in person to say one way or the other.

I own those two--- Sorry, but they're crap.
I own the Obi vs. Anakin and it's phenomenal. A real eye-catcher just as Jabba and his throne are in the 1/6 line.

I mean, why bother with the SIDESHOW Jabba when you can get this (and it comes with a Han!!!)

To each their own. I agree with Josh in this case-- the dio line is a fantastic way to capture these key moments of conflict.

And with Sideshow you have to pay an extra $50 for Han. The dios are the best!

Damn Josh I must have plucked a nerve.

Ignore is a little harsh there buddy. Also I wasn't personally attacking you. Then you personally attack me and make remarks about me being drunk. What's up with that?

Josh I never posted they were cheap plastic either. I said I thought they were over priced. In my one post I stated "and yes this is a piece of plastic". I was talking about the Hasbro set. I was just stating that IMO them being plastic figures and all. They still hold up to the polystone dio. Again this is all my opinion when I weigh in the price. I also said that sideshows piece is a great sculpt. My argument is not the quality but the price. Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions.

You "attacked" a SS product....so yes, you did attack him personally

BadMoon vs. Josh...

It's on...

like DONKEY KONG!

 

[The Josh]

Nah He said his piece I said mine. End of story. That's why I like ignore too cause I can end something before I let myself get too stupid.

Anyways back OT. I'll repost the message I bumped this thread for.

I got mine for under $200 shipped. I can't believe you're making me do this, but I gotta side with Josh in this argument.

I know that you're complaining about the size, but to my knowledge, all VS pieces are roughly 1/9 scale.

 

[Agent0028]

I gotta go with Josh and Loki on this one too. I tried to resist the lure of the vs, but I finally am giving in. Plus if they were any bigger they'd be be darn near impossible to display.

Your right because the size of these are perfect I think. Big enough to show plenty of detail and also a good display size. Though when I was comparing this with the Helm's deep dio it seemed that Ani and Obi were a bit smaller than Aragorn and the Uruk-hai when put together.
