C-3PO Life Size Bust

[microdragon]

Ok so I bought this bust from an eBay seller using money in my paypal which was converted into US dollars from Pounds Sterling. The seller has now told me that the bust is not in stock and offered me a refund. I've accepted and the money has been refunded but will take 5 days to show up. Not only that but I'm guessing I will lose some from the conversion from dollars back to pounds. I am super pissed.

You are lucky as rate of USD rising these days.

Yep. Same guys. Bit annoyed with them as they still had it on eBay as available.

This bust is awesome and it would be my first life size bust but I can't afford it right now. Congrats to all the lucky collectors that gets this one.

Let me know if you need a Bossknor Gamorrean Guard. I do payment plans.

I wonder how many of the 3p0 bust they have left or found or whatever happened for them to reopen sales for these? I'm thinking about flexing one. Really!

 

[The Chaver]

I just flexed this bad boy! I can't wait to pay him off and get him into my collection.



C'mon November!!

I ordered mine yesterday from Star Wars Shop...

Item(s) Total: $599.99
Discount/Gift Certificate: ($5.00)
Shipping & Handling: $90.00
Gift Wrap: $0.00
Sales Tax: $0.00

GRAND TOTAL: $684.99

I would have loved the full-size C-3PO, but could not see spending $5000 on it. And I have a smaller house, so this will be perfect.

I will post pictures when it arrives...

Shipping & Handling: $90.00! Yikes! Where do you live man?

That's normal for SWS. They add on extra shipping for large items.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

What cawksuckers. When I bought mine from Toy Anxiety they said SSC charged them about $20 for shipping.

 

[BojTrek]

I live in Chicago... I just assumed the $90 was based on weight and any insurance Star Wars Shop is adding to the box...

It is OK, I won $100 on a scratch off instant lottery ticket yesterday... so it is a wash.

 

[BojTrek]

It arrives today... kind of excited... I will post my pictures later this afternoon.

 

[The Chaver]

Post pics as soon as you get it!

I did the Flex Pay option when that newsletter hit in regards to that C3PO 1:1 Bust. Can't wait until I get it as well...

Can't fathom SWS's rationale of charging $90 to ship the item within the US. I ordered the Grevious 1:1 Bust from them last year during one of their big sales and I swore I'd never order from them again. Everything came in poor shape (It was definately opened and displayed) and poor Grevious still has a smoky smell to it (that it can't seem to shake). Keep in mind, I'm a non-smoker and was really disappointed that they shipped it in the condition it was in. I think shipping at that time was $50.
