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

[jgama25]

$750????? I love SW but gotta pass on this one

 

[Jaycepticon]

I'm sure you'll be able to find someone on here to split a set.

Cool, I'll post up that offer every now and then and hope somebody bites

 

[Till Foxburr]

I think I prefer the regular. Would I save much by holding out for an online retailer (like bigbadtoystore.com), or should I just order it from SS? I do like the payment plan option, something I don't thing others offer.

 

[hofmanjc]

Tough decision on this one. I think I like the regular one better. Base is much better.

I think Alter Ego does.

2 PF statues = $700

the droids are even more then that with just 1 1/2 ... ridiculous !!

 

[gagaliya]

what do you guys think about the exclusive? So the difference is

1) Clean paint instead of the weathered look
2) 2x black base vs 1 sand themed base?

Doesnt that make the REGULAR look much better? It definitely displays much better on 1 base vs 2, also weathered look usually takes more effort/money to do.

So whhat am i missing? does the exclusive come with a joint base too? or just 2 separate black bases.

 

[Mister Ski]

Wow, both versions look great, but EX for me!

 

[Darth Waller]

$50-75 higher than I thought, but I'm still ordering.

Now to decide...EX or regular.
EX would be cool to recreate this scene...

This is the type of duo base I was expecting for the non-weathered versions.

 

[V8Falcon]

Wow! Has a regular ever sold out before an ex? I could see it happening in this case.

 

[Darth Waller]

Sideshow Collectibles is proud to introduce the highly anticipated C-3PO and R2-D2 Premium Format figure set. Presented in 1:4 scale, the iconic droid duo is crafted with stunning attention to detail. C-3PO comes to life in any number of poses to perfectly capture the anxious protocol droid's fretful and proper personality. The resourceful astromech droid, R2-D2 is fully equipped for his many daring adventures, and features a retractable center leg and working wheels. Depicted on the sands of Tatooine, the inseparable droids are individually hand painted and finished and boast brilliant LED light up components; a must have addition to any Star Wars collection.

I can see that all that articulation probably added a bit to the cost.

 

[Irvy]

750? Gone are the days of the $350 PFs then...

 

[devilof76]

Joker, etc. were $350 and had no electronics.

This is the type of duo base I was expecting for the non-weathered versions.

I don't think they're attached to the bases so there is still room for custom alternatives.

That couldn't happen. They haven't figured out the edition size so they'll adjust that according to how many preorders they get.

 

[tommyh84]

What the difference with the EX version? Description made no sense to me

 

[Darth Waller]

I don't think they're attached to the bases so there is still room for custom alternatives.

Now you're talking!

 

[Darth Lam]

So do we know if only the regular come with restraining bolts? I guess that would make sense.

How about R2's computer arm? Looks like it's showing up only on the exclusive version.

There's probably a depression in the sand for where they're supposed to stand. Plus since they both have electronics then they would probably have a peg for each to feed them electricity.

 

[darthviper107]

Unless they give him batteries then he's going to have to have a plug somewhere.

C-3PO might have a peg just to make sure he doesn't fall over.

 

[Gruson]

I prefer the clean versions but also like them together on one base. <sigh>

What to do...most likely EX but they are just so far apart on the separate bases...
