Re: MY BOBA FETT JUST SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!

Monk, your review was very good, and the pictures are real good.

However, I do see your point that PF's should be static but i think in this case it works well, allowing you to pose BF in whatever direction you prefer.


But please SSC, stick to poseable heads and not arms or legs.

ps. I logged in and my 'no sigs and avatars shown' option kicked in. Its a godsend.

Yeah, I may get GTA 4. The next game I buy will be Spidey 3.

Back on topic

Boba looks nice and I may have to get one soon.

... To me, this rivals Grievous in terms of detail and visual impact (and with plastic materials on both), yet Fett didn't cost $450 like Grievous did. I only paid $50 more for Fett than I did for Leia, and I personally think that the difference in price is more than made up for by the drastic jump in detailed costuming. You had better believe that Fett's complete armored costume is more complex and detailed than Leia's white dress, and I have no problem paying $50 more for Fett than Leia--and I'm very happy to have paid $125 less than Grievous.
So, perhaps we can conclude that the PF's are generally overpriced then?

I don't know if I would necessarily say that. Some are overproduced, and some may be overpriced (a debatable opinion perhaps).

I think that it is a combination of these factors, along with the visual impact of the piece and the nature of the character being represented, that determine any piece's value on the secondary market.

Seeing how pretty much all of them are sold makes that very hard to say. They are expensive but I am not sure they are overpriced. It can be said that all SW stuff is overpriced but thats because almost anything that has SW logo on it sell very well.

I think having SS at C4 could change the popularity of these. As a new group of people see these in person there will be more people looking for these. I can attest for that myself I saw these at SDCC and fell in love with them.
 
Re: MY BOBA FETT JUST SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!

Seeing the PF stuff at SDCC in 05 changed my thought on the PF for sure.
 
Re: MY BOBA FETT JUST SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!

If you want to talk about "overpriced" I think the Cinemaquette statues are much more deserving of that title than any Sideshow PF has been or will ever be. Granted, the Cinemaquette statues have a higher level of quality, but they damn well should for $1500-2000.

My thoughts exactly.
 
Re: MY BOBA FETT JUST SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!

Kookie acts like someone just spit on his Mom whenever anyone has a critical comment towards a Sideshow item. Seriously, dude, chill. Even The Josh doesn't go off like that.

There was nothing wrong with Monk's review other than the fact that his opinion on the item is opposite of your own.

The point I was stating is Monk doesn't speak for me, it had nothing to do with a counter view of myself.This board has been taken over in many instances by people who are demanding Sideshow do things their way on future products.

Just like people don't seem to care what they say to Sideshow I have taken the same approach towards them...it doesn't feel good does it?

Well, there is no need to make that point. Everyone speaks for themselves.

Wrong. The board is filled with a lot of people with their own passionate opinions on a hobby they all share. No more, no less. It's really that simple.

Well, if you seem to think it's honorable to take personal shots at people because they have complaints about a company, good for you.
 
Re: MY BOBA FETT JUST SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!

LOL Kookie's reactions make me laugh. :lol:lol:lol:lol
 
Re: MY BOBA FETT JUST SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!

I just want to say I love seeing people multi-quote. Makes me feel all warm inside. :lol

I'll take personal shots at people when they take personal shots at Sideshow. I'm not a fan of every product Sideshow releases but you also don't see me ranting about how much I hate a particular piece over...and over...and over...again.

There are a few people I enjoy chatting with, mostly the people who have been here for years. Frankly, many of the new people are annoying and seem to judge the company on a very limited history. At the end of the day what really matters is my collection and interaction with Sideshow and not the people on this board.

You want to know why I speak out the way I do...it's because I'm sick of people's attempt at smearing Sideshow's reputation and I for one want Sideshow to be around for a long time!

How was that Nash :)

Kodiak...with all due respect...you have complained on a daily basis about Boba Fett to the point of nausea!!!

If Boba Fett has truly ruined your life as it appears it has maybe you and Monk should seek counciling together...

Boba Plastic may be a prelude to an entire way of thinking for SS...ABS considered PF, poseability which has never been a feature associated with SS PF statues (head swivel?), yet a bloated PF pricetag. I don't feel it was beyond the realm for SS to throw in a leather belt, hairlike Wookie braids, metal in Boba's jet pack and other 'upgrades' that would have offset the lame ABS body.

As long as proponents like Monk and myself 'sound off', we will always make sure SS hears what consumers feel and think of experiments like this.

So eat my shorts and go comb your hair Kookie! :lol
