Boba Fett is my favorite Star Wars character and 42 is my favorite number. It goes back to my having read "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" in Jr. High, where the number 42 was featured in the plot. It's been my favorite number for a while and I have always wanted a statue numbered 42 out of its edition, and Fett would be the ideal piece to have with that number. It's all pretty pointless but I would be very happy to get him.
 
Re: MY BOBA FETT JUST SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!

Good luck on that #42 - it will be a glorious day if this happens! :chew

Im keeping my fingers crossed for you. POST THOSE PICS AS SOON AS YOU GET HIM!
 
Re: MY BOBA FETT JUST SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!

I think I'm more interested in finding out if you got #42 than I am to see the actual pictures! Ours will be here Thursday. Days like those I'm happy to be working at home.

Tom, nothing is pointless when it adds non-monetary value to something, the greatest collectibles we can own carry greater importance to us than just looking cool or being rare, they touch upon something in our heart and soul that, while I don't feel we can be made whole by posessions, does complete a part of us inside.

Tom--- I'm an idiot. I was a huge Hitchiker's Guide fan in my younger days when I first read the book as well... #42 :D

Here I thought it was your old football number... Speaking of which, anyone have a #66 Grievous Exc they'd like to part with?:lol

Very well said! :clap
 
Re: MY BOBA FETT JUST SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!

I would like to say I hope you see a 4 and then a 2 on the bottom of the box.

I know Sideshow has a sense of humor in general. It would be kind of funny if they sent you 420 instead of 42.

Anyway I hope mine ships soon.

You do have X-men Vs. Sentinel 1, don't you? :monkey5 :monkey5 :monkey5

I did have it, but sold it a little while ago when I had to get out of Marvel to make room for Star Wars. It's a great piece!
 
Re: MY BOBA FETT JUST SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Tom, but this sucks I have the flexpay I have never got any kind of notice yet.
 
Re: MY BOBA FETT JUST SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!

The Krusade has a place waiting for you Tom in case you do not get #42.:rock:rock:rock
 
Re: MY BOBA FETT JUST SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!

Mine shipped today as well. It will be here on Thursday!

Tom, I don't know why you want #42, but you've always been a great guy on all the boards, so if I get it, it's yours.
 
Re: MY BOBA FETT JUST SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!

After the rush of cancellations for Boba Plastic (over 40 on this board alone), I received an e-mail from SS stating 'estimated arrival'. Then unlike any other order I've placed, I receive a shipping notice for Boba. Item has left their warehouse.

Obviously SS doesn't want to remind people their credit card will be charged so they completely bypassed the authorization e-mail and shipped this overpriced piece of plastic as soon as they received it.

I was waiting to decide if I was going to cancel for the authorization e-mail but I guess SS wanted to try to slip one by us loyal customers. NOT COOL!

I will receive the item, and if it's not 100% to my liking, it will be returned at Sideshow's expense. That or I will cancel every remaining order I have with them. I don't like being 'tricked' into keeping a statue that has been labeled 'problem' since the announcement they were making it of less expensive material but still charging the same price. LAME!!!
