And given that the ones I buy exclusively from SS run in the $125+ range, that's pretty much irrelevant for me.

the theory still works for $125 figures goof ball. ps your $125 figures are $130 next month.

Save them to drop on the lower $$$ figures so that you keep the rewards points on the more expensive ones. Now given that the cheapest ones I purchase directly from SS are $125, so given that, I should use them on the $125 figures and not the more expensive $134 Joes. I get it.

 

[the dude person]

Yeah...looks nothing like him...

Looks great there, but when I saw the pics of the final painted product my first thought was "That's not right..."

Perhaps it's the paint apps...

Trevor just can't hang with Dude's sculpting prowess. You should see his T-800. Blows HT's petty attempt away!

I'm not saying I'm better at, or even good at sculpting, I just didn't think the HS on the finished product looked quite right.

LOL...Don't let small studios hear you say that.

The best thing you can do mathematically is only use points if it fully pays for a purchase.

It may seem like over thinking it, but for me it takes more effort describing it to you than it did to just commit "hold onto points until necessary" to memory and practice it.

Yep, I do the same.

I only use Reward Points on figures I can cover fully and that are exclusive to Sideshow. That way I don't lose any reward points on a partial purchase... or overpay with reward points for a regular release figure I can get 10% cheaper from a retailer.

So far I've gotten the Ex CW Anakin and Ex ROTJ Emperor free this way

The best example of why this is important is when buying high dollar items. For instance, say you had $250 in RP and used it towards the life size C-3PO. You'd actually loose $47 in RP as you would have netted $279 worth from that purchase alone

 

[ProgMatinee]

yeah, thats smart too to use them on items that have the good exclusives. don't use them on items that you might cancel because someone else has it cheaper.

 

[Demimatt]

I decided to pass on the exclusive since a cool stand is...irrelevant to me, hahah.

I'll end up pre ordering this from another site for much cheaper site that is out of state so I save on tax. I totaled up all of my pre orders and compared the price to sideshow and so far this year I am saving 200 bucks for like...7 figures!

Sometimes, if you don't want to offend anyone, it's best to zip it.

 

[draekus]

Wasn't able to get to a computer/phone in time for the PPO. Waitlist for me.

On the bright side I was able to get a Darth Maul from a LCS today. Surprisingly they had one left in stock.

 

[galactiboy]

I'd say you're looking good for a conversion...

Once again poor paint application ruins a fantastic sculpt...such a shame...

But this figure was a easy miss for me, i'd sooner sit down with someone like Hurricane to organise a Rex than buy it from sideshow.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Hummm I am not 100% sold on Sideshows.

I don't quite know if I like the belt or Pauldron. I spent a while making mine so I think I will pass.

And what do you guys think on the head sculpt??

 

[thenammagazine]

Those who have issues with paint, have the balls to PM SmallStudios (yes, he's a member and regular poster) and let him know how you feel.

 

[fire_fly]

The sculpt looks great IMO. Trevor knocked it out of the ball park. Looks like the actor who played the Clones in the films. Nothing wrong with the paint application from what i have seen either. Nice fig all around. Almost makes me want to start collecting Clones.

I think the sculpt might be the only thing that's not perfect.

Copuld always send it to smallstudios for a repaint when you get it, that guy can do wonders.

I can see it now.

"Just got the headsculpt back... looks the same. Huh, and why does it smell like taint?!"

Yeah Dorgs you don't need this one! You already made a custom one, why spend $125 on something you already have? Just get the jetpack later on when Toy Anxiety parts him out and you'll be golden. Or I could cast my Hasbro Jango Fett arena jetpack and mail one to you....

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

I find it so hard to tell from photos what a figure is really like. I said I would never get any clones!! But after I got one!!!
