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

Why SS split them up on to their own bases is beyond me. Glad they offered both though, some enjoy them as pristine droids and others, like myself, see them as droids that have seen it all and have the dents to prove it.

Indeed. The weathered look is my preferred way of remembering the two.

Same, same.

Just got around to watching your video. Nicely done!

Looking forward to see more!

Cool. I know you'll post when it's completed.

Well done... SS should've gone this route

Thanks for the kind feedback guys...hopefully shouldn't take too long before I get some final pics up

Look forward to the final pics. Your first base was well done, although it always looked very "marbly." The sneek-peek you have shown looks to have done away with that.
I'm sure it will look fantastic.

Thanks bro Yea, not sure what is was that I still wasn't happy with in regards to the original custom base...I guess I'm just obsessed with the kotobukiya display (which was the whole reason why I purchased the EX in the first place) just love that piece

No doubt. The separate circular base looks uncreative and weak.

what gets me the most is that Sideshow had the audacity to name the Exclusive bases as 'Yavin' Themed The base is exactly the same as what they used for their Stormie PF's so I just didn't get it there was nothing remotely 'Yavin' about it....

Really? That's just lazy...

No doubt, that's why I'm glad to see the more dynamic bases they're coming up with in the new releases of both Vader and Boba PF's.

 

[DarthChrisDK]

Indeed!

How do you put batteries on the droids?
What are the issues to look out for?
Pics would help thanks

 

[space ace]

Anybody know if the regular set of these guys fit into a detolf?
Thanks

 

[KingB]

Base is 14.5 inches in diameter. Hope that helps.

 

[DarthChrisDK]

I no longer have any DETOLFS, but they do fill out almost an entire BESTA shelf. So I find it difficult to imagine that it would work.

 

[space ace]

Thanks guys-they're boxed up, but I'm getting my new collection room together and taking a trip to IKEA this weekend-I thought the base was too large, but just wanted to make sure.

Should fit on the bottom no problem. Because of their shortness in height I put mine on the very top. I would just avoid the glass shelf in the middle all together on account of the weight. Their base is pretty hefty.

Sold out and no longer wait listed....

Does anyone remember if this happened to the reg Stormtrooper? Both are "limited additions" and it was sold out for a while, but now there making more again.

 

[Riggo44]

I'm hoping the make another run of these guys.

For those who own the set, are the metal rods on the top of the hands on C3PO loose I. E. Do they come out? My local dealer has one and I noticed this when he was showing it to me. I wasn't sure so wanted to ask.

They are meant to be moving pieces. Once I got mine set right, they have stayed put just fine.
