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

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

Great. Thanks for the clarification.

puts a smile on my face knowing that those who questioned the value of this just because it was open ES are now clamoring and hitting themselves in the head for not making the jump

I knew I didn't want to wait around to take a chance. Too iconic.

Hahaha.... I don't think I'm really hitting myself in the head about it. I personally was just after harder to find pieces at the time and with the open ES I figured I'd get this down the line. I'm still confident I'll pick this up around retail eventually. In fact I'm still betting they make another run. With the new movies coming I doubt they'll leave that $$ on the table. If you want to sell one now would be the time. Enjoy the inflated prices why they last!

What is the current aftermarket price?

What is the current aftermarket price?

Mint in box anywhere from $799-$1000. I've seen some sell used for under $799 recently.

 

[Riggo44]

Like I said if I wasn't getting other things I would already have these nailed down. There not that hard to come buy.

 

[KingB]

Well I'm glad I didn't wait. They are loved by all who see them and or course me.

 

[Shanester]

If the ES is open, what says they won't have more made? Isn't that the pint of an open ES?

 

[V8_Club]

I have one local shop offering it to me at $867 delivered.. But it is a display piece. It is also missing the main shipper and the color box is kinda damaged.

Uhm Sideshow confirmed with someone here that production was closed. I have a spare hammer if you need one. ;D

 

[nocturmac]

So this product is officially archived already?
What is the stat height and base diameter?

 

[Jagjaguwar]

The notion that SS won't either make another batch of these or release some sort of "new and improved" version of this pair is, in a word, ridiculous.

 

[cstojano]

I don't understand why they would ever close this piece down? There seems to be no cost to keeping it around and surely the new movie will drive some sales here.

 

[KingB]

Due to the price I suspect. Many people on here continued to put off buying this item because they thought it would be around forever and it wasn't exactly chump change. I hope for your sake they bring them back but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[nocturmac]

What does the restraining bolts look like?
And what are the two magnetic buttons for?

 

[KingB]

The magnetic buttons are the restraining bolts.

 

[nocturmac]

ok thanks. where do you place the one for r2?
is there an instruction sheet included?

 

[KingB]

Should come with one. The one for r2 should be on one of the front white panels. I forget which one. Not at home currently.
