Premium Format C-3PO & R2-D2 Premium Format Set

How do you know who dealt with him in the past? Through eBay? They have anonymity now and you can't see other eBay members who bid or buy from people.

You can see which members chose to leave feedback

 

[Zodach]

I think you can only leave feedback for 60 days, so buyers preordering this far in advance won't have any way to leave comments about their transaction. I would ask if you can pay him a small deposit now and then the balance once he is charged by Sideshow.

 

[THX-182]

Ok. Then all those who left feedback obviously bought and got their items during the "complaint" window. You only have 60 days from the end of the auction to leave feedback and 45 days to file a claim. So if anyone got ripped off by him, it would have been after the 60 day window of feedback ability and there wouldn't be anyone stating he ripped them off.

Not saying he's a crook, just saying that people who left him positive feedback obviously left it for a reason and anyone who may have gotten scammed would not have been able to leave a comment stating so.

No one here is trying to hassle you, we are just trying to help you be careful. $875 is a lot of cash to lose and paying for something with that kind of money this far out, there is NOTHING you can do to stop anybody from scamming you if they wanted to. Paypal and eBay will do nothing for you that far down the road.

Oh I had those reservations - so I messaged some of the people who did preorders with him in the past. All seem to have gotten their item and have nothing but glowing compliments to give the guy. There was one instance of the preorder not being fulfilled, but money was given back. So from those, it seems like the risk is low, so hopefully that's accurate

Great! I hope you get this. Great price bro! Congrats! And enjoy the great find. I may have something going on too. beans will be out soon........

I got an email from Sideshow that my waitlist won't convert.

And they'll be closing it also.

Yeah, sorry to hear.

It's been happening to a few members here too.

Does not mean jack until then cancel it. They told me the same for joker and it still converted.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

It's insane to buy anything from anyone on eBay this far from it's release day. What's to stop the seller from just taking the money after the buyer protection period expires? Nothing. Can't file a complaint through eBay or Paypal.

Just asking to get the money stolen.

sorry to hear that too
when did you order it?

 

[Centurion]

Are there any hi res pics of this set?

I can't tell if 3PO has real wires or if it's painted.

 

[badboy074]

I was the one you contacted about....

ewok cause i pre ordered the joker pf ex from him and he told me that he got scammed and the dealer ran away with his money so he refunded me out of his own pocket 45 days over the paypal protection limit. So i say he's trustworthy as far as refunds in case something happened to the item as he says happened to the joker pf ex on my pre order. I also pre ordered the same pf on another seller and he sent me the item sealed, i checked it out and it was good again over the paypal protection limit so both sellers are legit and good from my experience.

It has real wires

 

[goldbuffalo]

The only reason the EX is so sought after is because of the very low ES. I think the piece brings very little to the table beyond the clean paint apps. The bases are a complete cop out and have nothing to do with the Yavin scene from ANH and why is it more expensive then the reg version anyway? Makes no sense to me.

I much prefer the reg version as it is more screen accurate which is why I ordered it over the EX.

I much prefer the EX. I haven't even ordered the Reg., I probably will as that is my only option.

But, if the EX was the dirty droids, i'd want them because of the low ES, but I would have already ordered the clean regular.

It has real wires

Thank you.

Is this confirmed by SSC that C3PO is using real wires?

 

[comicbookguy]

Is there any difference between the two sets? Other than the paint. :/

 

[darthviper107]

Thank you.

If you look at the product page there's a picture that shows it pretty clearly

They have different bases as well, EX has separate black bases, Reg has one large one with a Tattooine sand surface.

I wonder if there's more than just the base and paint? :/
