Make sure and look it over.
You don't want someone's return. But congrats on a great piece.

Has anyone even got a chance to physically return one since they just recently shipped?

I receive mine today (exclusive) along with the Pred 2 Excl bust. Hopefully both are minty-mint.

Thanks guys, sorry i could'nt do a more indepth video review I was literally lucky to get those free minutes whilst trying to juggle a newborn and a two year old at the same time!

Congrats again to all those who have the droids in their collection or those who are waiting for theirs to arrive. A must have for any Star Wars fan or just those collecting iconic movie characters.

That's Ok friend. The comment was not directed at you. I am just surprised someone on Youtube has not done one yet.

Absolutely.
Over at statue forum, some of the members there got their EX at the end of July. Long story short... there were some that were not content on how the droids turned out, R2 in particular.

Either way, hope you can resolve the issues you're having with your droids.

My regular arrived today what can I say, I'm not bothered about the weight, the light up features bring these to life, my wife says they are the best statues I've ever had!!! They are so iconic they just scream Star Wars in fact I'm going to see if I can somehow get these displayed in the living room they are that good.
My only grumbles are I wish we could turn on the lights via the base, or at least don't have to keep removing 3POs face to put him on, other than that these are the best Star Wars PFs I own.

As I begin to repackage my droids back in their box and shipper I'd just like to do a Jerry Springer-like 'Final Thought'.

Firstly, I'm gutted having to put these back in the box, as I've done with most of my collection...but with the search for a new and bigger family home hopefully coming to an end, i can finally get to display all my fantastic pieces just the way I want to!

So looking back when I first got these my initial thoughts were that Threepio was great, was really happy with how the shiny chrome came out and pleasantly surprised over his smooth articulation and had a good weighty feel to him. I remember being less impressed with R2...purely down to how light he was inhand and also how plasticky he felt also. However, once I got to turn on his light up features all the before mentioned negative emotions were no longer an issue. The light up feature on R2 simply rocks! They couldn't have done it better IMO and just completes R2 from an aesthetic point of view. Yes, if i was to nitpick then a cool soundboard in both droids would have had me DROIDS heaven!!!!

I am extremely delighted to have these droids in my collection, they will go great with my 2 Stormtrooper PF's and all that's left for me would be a new Vader PF to complete my SW set up. Really happy for those who ordered the Regular version also, it's equally great looking and possibly better if you take into consideration the fact that every owner of these droids will most likely have them posed side-by-side and with threepios hand on R2's head...an iconic pose that can only be pulled off properly on the regular version due to the larger base...it can be done on the EX as you can see from my final pic but only if R2 is placed slightly onto threepios base - but close up it just doesnt look right.

Congrats to all those who have them, they are a definate must have for any SW fan or movie buff (of which I am both) so when it comes down to it, yes I think I paid too much for the droids but I certainly don't regret it!

great mini review Andy ....yep real good can't wait for mine

 

[JAWS]

Here my pictures :

Great photos! Good to know what mine will look like in a Besta. I am still waiting to get mine put together. I am having custom bases made for them so I still have to wait.

 

[Agent23]

great looking PFs, congrats to those getting it.

Here's a picture of my droids along side MYC's Jawa PF figures. Pictures don't do any of these justice. Michael, thanks for being the creative person you are and making the jawas available to us! Though I'm still upset I got #2 of 25 instead of #1. Gotta get faster!

That's a great picture, you should throw that on the board if if you have photobucket (or something similar) - they go perfect together.

 

[Drakul]

Great pics Materside!!

 

[Geil]

dang almost missed out on this. too bad my trusty LCS says it's too late to get dealer orders in so gotto look for a good deal elsewhere in Canada or go direct SS ... any cannucks here have a lead for me?

 

[JonZ]

Got a replacement body for my Exclusive C3PO on the way...I just hope that it doesn't have any issues...but the way my luck has been going with Sideshow, it will already be in pieces LOL!

 

[weaponxero]

Has anyone thought about a custom base for the exclusives that allow for both droids to be displayed together?
