Wow, Fantastic.
I put an order in. Shipping UPS ground in the US was just $15.
I like Code3's ships - I picked up all the rest, but not this one yet.
Actually, I tried to order it from them direct when it was first announced. It was advertised with a free case, and I went for it. But, my CC company had mistakenly put a lock on my card for what they percieved as a questionable charge during the time the order was set to process.
Code 3 never contacted me to try to resolve the situation. I sent them an email, asking that the order be reinstated, and they never responded. The customer service compared to a company like Sideshow is Night & Day. Oh well, in the end I just end up saving some good money, and their lack of support costs them a direct sale.
Also, it has been ages since Code 3 has announced a new item in the SW vehicles category. I get the feeling they really going down the tubes, which is a shame, as they make a nice product. It can't compare with a MR replica in size or quality, but the prices aren't so outrageous either. Looking at my existing Falcon, the mold is excellent, and I really appreciate the metal construction. The paint application is so generic though. I would love to see a quality custom repaint of that item one day. To be fair, the falcon was one of their first efforts, and paint quality did go up. The Slave 1 is outstanding IMO.
