I ordered mine from VC, heard good things, came out to a little cheaper than doing Monkey Depot, so hey, why not. I think Hobby Galaxy has it the cheapest clocking in at 140 shipped. I'd cancel my VC one, but I can't figure out how.
Is monkey depot only place to get this?
vantagecollectibles has it and timewalkertoys as well as alterego
This looks cool. I'll see if BBTS gets it. I liked the new Dredd movie, but also wouldn't mind seeing a Stallone Dredd figure. Since I never read the comic the whole helmet thing never meant much to me. Also wouldn't mind seeing a Demolition Man figure.

The comic was always more about the absurdity of the laws in Mega-City-One than showing Dredd's face. He was the epitome of a population so gigantic, a city so huge, the laws had become incredibly draconian, to discourage lawbreakers. In that situation, you never needed to see Dredd's face, as all he represented was a figurehead of the justice system itself.
Analysis of a Dredd episode from the comics:
Dredd is riding down a street, and a candy wrapper floats down in front of his bike. He picks it up in his gauntleted hand and looks at it, taking out a small device from his belt. He points the device at the wrapper and the device rattles off the name of the guy whose DNA is on the wrapper(Who of course stays in an apartment in the building Dredd is riding past). Dredd gets off his bike, goes into the block, and goes to the guy's apartment. The guy comes to his door to find Dredd there. Dredd confirms his identity and arrests him for littering, and sentences him to six months in the cubes, cuffing him and taking him down to the streets for a pickup(All lamp posts have little hooks where a Judge can call in an "arrest", then leave the perp for later pickup by a Pat-Wagon).
The guy who has six months jail time to look forward to is despondent as Dredd leaves him cuffed on the sidewalk to go back to his bike.
A couple of gawkers standing nearby look on in disgust. One guy says: "I can't believe it Dredd. It's just a piece of litter! Can't you let him go?"
Dredd responds: "The law is the law, citizen, i make no exceptions".
Gawker number one says: "I bet you make exceptions when it suits you. I *bet* you do!".
Dredd walks over, takes out a set of cuffs and puts them on the guy saying: "Betting is illegal, citizen. 12 months".
The guy pleads: "It was just a figure of speech, Dredd!!! I wasn't really going to bet!!"
Dredd pulls out a small device which flashes green so he takes off the cuffs and says: "Lie detector confirms your story. Choose your words more carefully next time, citizen".
Dredd gets on his bike and rides off.
Gawker number two says: "You think he was kidding?"
Gawker number one says: "I wouldn't bet on it..."
Just ordered mine from TimeWalker!!
As far as that name plate, I think it does look like an A but it could be an R that is not well defined so that it can be viewed either way but at the same time could be a loop hole for legal issues. From certain angles it does look like it could be an R. Either way I think the figure looks great and I can accept how the name plate looks regardless.
