It's all good David.
Maybe some other time, you'll be able to acquire the droids.
:hi5: i hope so........just started collecting prop replicas from films and TV shows :clap there's some
great replicas coming from the game of thrones..... but my money will only go so far :lol
 
Hey guys, just got the shipping notice from my local dealer. He always checks my stuff before shipping for defects and included this pic. I think I saw some pics about this before, but I'm not shure if it's a bad thing (the tubes are not attached at both sides). Can someone reashure me that it's nothing to worry about? :monkey3

P.S. they will be here in two or three days :panic:
 
Got my droids from a local dealer here in Southern California for $599 total. Feel I got a great deal. They are awesome! Great piece by SS. Well executed!

Damn. That is a good deal. I don't know why but I kinda feel like the elite having picked these two up since they aren't around anymore on the site. Anyone know when they got released? I can't remember how long they were up for PO before they gave em the axe.

BTW : congrats. They are sweet.

Thanks... Yeah they really are great. They just capture ANH so well. In the future these will be hard to come by for sure.

The guy I bought them from had them on eBay for $699 shipped. Saw he was local, emailed him offered to pick them up and save him on eBay/Paypal and shipping fees through the power of cash a deal was born ;). By the way he still has 1 more set left on eBay ;).
 
Can't argue with the ole cash deal. I am very pleased. Weathering turned out great. They look like they rolled right out of the films.
 
I'm not one to be too into the secondary market value of items, but I just noticed on eBay what the exclusive of this set is selling for these days and my eyeballs nearly popped out from my head. Wowza!

Makes sense I guess. Awesome sculpts and execution. Iconic characters. Super limited. Perfect storm.
 
Finally found the droids I was looking for! These guys are freaking awesome! Words can't describe how happy I am with these guys :D
Here two pictures off my set:

Running out of space, so had to move some of my dragon statues seen in the background (my collectables befote I had the money to buy the 1:6 SS figures).

Together with (what I remember) my first Star Wars related toys as a kid (Lego 7106).

I get now what everyone was complaining about concerning R2 being so light. But I don't know what the problem is. The middle leg has to go somewhere...

So in short. These guys are a must have! I don't regret canceling these guys a few months ago because of needing some money because I wanted to take a vacation with my then girlfriend (now my ex).
 
Congrats bud. I dont blame you a bit. T&A > Droids your looking for. Glad you finally got em though.

Thanks man! Yeah girlfriends come (and can go :monkey2). But the droids will stay with me until te end.

Do you guys know if any of the panels on R2 can open? I thought I saw it somewhere, but don't want to damage R2 if they aren't suppose to open. :monkey4

The panel on the left opens and their is a retractable arm and the blue panels on R2's "chest" open as well. SSC put instructions in the box to show.
