Boba Fett eBay Watch

[El Roranous]

I started it here because of the 'sales' discussion. Maybe it's time to start a 'Pre-Order Discussion' section.

From the Darklord himself.

The For Sale/Trade section is for forum members to trade and sell items with other forum members. Like any internet marketplace the rule of "buyer beware" applies.


Well, this is a For Sale section to list items for sale that you have, not a "let's discuss the potential of an item and/or it's price" section. I for one think this thread should be moved because it clogs up what is valuable space in the Sale section. Plus, this topic is beaten to death already.

so why doesn't someone who has the power to move threads move it?

Let's just start a new thread with all the same critics saying the same thing, and all the same defenders replying with the same responses. Then they critics will repeat their arguments, then the other side will repeat their comments, and so it will continue on and on and on until the end of time.

Sounds like a good plan to me! Anybody else want in on it?

Awesome idea. I love talking about the same thing over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over,and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over,and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over,and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over,and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over,and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over,and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.

I'm tired of this merry-go-round.

Obviously you don't feel the need to discuss this matter so by all means, don't. Last time I looked, it wasn't the 'El Roranous Collector' forum. That goes for you too Loki. No one forces you to read every thread. The way it works is, if you want to read it...do. If you don't...don't.

Out of respect I have kept quiet since the first weekend and will continue to do so. My views have not changed but I'm not going to get everyone fired up again.

Out

I'm glad you do. Because this Boba discussion WILL continue. If you don't like it, don't read it. Our men and women are fighting right now for democracy and the rights you feel compelled to trample on. No one is forcing you to join in.

Wow

Don't start a discussion thread in the For Sale section next time and you won't have a problem.

What are you talking about? He isn't trampling on anybodies rights, if anything you are doing the same thing as him- belittling a personal opinion. Calm down and quit making such a big deal out of nothing. If you don't like what others have to say then put them on ignore like Josh did to you.

A problem???

This is an internet forum. Guess you don't have any real life problems to worry about, eh?

I'm an advocate of free speech. All you did was cry that you were tired of people replying to a subject in which you lost interest, a thread I felt people would be interested in. Seriously, if you didn't want a debate, why didn't you just skip the thread?

And BTW, Josh felt he had to take my comments to a PM instead of just ignoring them. So I suggested he put me on his ignore list because he just couldn't help himself. You can do the same anytime, you have no committments to me and I'll have no ill feelings toward you. In the meantime, I'll post where and when I feel appropriate. Sorry you don't want to read my comments. I feel I have something to say...sometimes. Have a nice day.

I posted this in another thread, but obviously no one read it. I truly believe that this plastic thing is a non-issue.
________________

Just to clarify something from chatting with the SSC peeps at ORC this weekend.

They tried to use a polystone body with Fett. But when everything was cast up, the armor pieces already made would not fit on the polystone body due to the different rates of shrinkage of the different materials. So the only choice was do to a steel mold for the body, a process that is hugely expensive for SSC, especially for such a large size item. If you're making 15,000 or more of something then the cost evens out for a steel mold. But for only 4000 Fetts the steel mold is actually MORE expensive for them.


So they COULD NOT use a polystone body unless they went back and started from scratch and re-sculpted everything.

So the question that everyone should be asking is, why didn't they RAISE the price since the per unit cost is more for them?

Yeah, that's what they're fighting for

Blood < Oil


Anyway, you and your oh so open mind apparently weren't here two weeks ago when this was an issue. Before it got talked up and down. Before we had an answer from SSC. But now that we have an answer, what the **** is there to talk about? This has a very high ES and a terrible exclusive. Fett is a very popular character but it will take time for this to get back to retail value. I'm getting mine for about $275 and I think that's a good price. When this starts shipping and people realize how great it looks and we're flooded with pics and praise, people will jump back on the wagon. If you can find a trusted seller and snag one while the getting is good, go for it. I never pre-order from ebay but deals are to found out there, just get it before it ships.

For all our dealers out there, I'd love to know how many cancellations they got as a result of the whole 'Plastic' debacle.
