Endor Rebel Combo Deal

[Darth Loki]

LOL, I know you weren't, but I was just being honest - the reason I'm not in charge is that I cave too easily - you should see me with my young cousin:

him: You need to buy me some candy, and take me to a movie, and buy me MacDonald's!

me: Okay, sounds like a good plan to me.

His parents hate me!

him: You need to tell SS to let us use gift cards towards pre-orders of all this damn SW stuff you keep throwing at us

Dusty: Okay, sounds like a good plan to me.

 

[RoboDad]

Not sure why the Metaluna Mutant wasn't letting you buy it - it should let you now! And just as a reminder, you can feel free to call Customer Service anytime to ask them why something is not available with the Gift Card, and they will hunt down an answer for you - sometimes it is a mistake and it SHOULD be Mostly if it's a brand new product that JUST came into stock, or something that's not manufactured by us (Hot Toys, etc) than it's not available for purchase with a Gift Card. But it can't ever hurt to ask

Thank you Dusty! I don't know if you did something to fix this, or if it was just a glitch, but either way, I just tried my card and it worked without a hitch. This is just another example of the GREAT customer service we get from every level at Sideshow.

Oh, and by the way, nice banner!

You sound like my Aunt. Thats a good thing though. Nothing better than older(or younger) relatives liking to do what you like to do.

Could you tell us or do you know if the Combo deal is going to have a set amount or will it be a mini inclusive? I just wanted to ask since it doesn't have a PPO.

That's the problem, I dread being a parent (at this point, I don't plan on ever being one) because I like to do all the 'bad' stuff and would have a really hard time saying no, as I don't want to be a hypocrite! So the choices would be:

1) Let my kid get fat and spoiled.

-or-

2) Stop doing the fun bad stuff myself so that I'm not being a hypocrite when I tell her no.



As for whether there will be a set amount of bundles, I'm not sure. I think we are planning to gather all the questions and release some further information about the Endor bundle sometime tomorrow on the Star Wars news page - I'll let you know when/if that happens

Thanks for the answer Dusty. Good to know that we won't be left in the dark when the bundle goes up for order.

I think whatever you do, you would make a great parent.

No matter how much you suck up, I'm not giving you anything for free, unless you win it fairly and squarely I value my job too much (and I live in fear of Chicky's whip)

Dusty you'd make an awesome parent. I think you're a total blast to be around and I believe you'd make sure your kids did the right thing.

Unfortunately I have no say in decisions that are made - if I did, everything would be FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE and it'd be Spooktacular every day (and we'd be out of business in about 30 seconds )

Pinky are you pondering what I'm pondering?

Fair enough, but I honestly wasn't trying to suck up. However, could you suggest to the contest guys (or whoever you would need to )that a contest in which the winner gets made into a figure (like how Brant did) would be awesome? I think it would be the best contest ever. I'd even pay for my own figure if I was made into one.

u like to drink don't u

I'm debating if I will put Brant's Trench coat on Han to give them someone else to go with. Perhaps we will also get an expansion pack sometime down the road with ponchos, trench coats, and helmets.

Well, Han's coat is a brown camo. Leia would have to be a whole new figure in her General outfit. I'd rather have a new Han with new headsculpt, vest, coat, mines, and whatever else (is the gun different?). Same with Luke: new stern headsculpt, poncho, helmet, belt with blaster, shiny boots, short armed body, new hands (better glove griping hand), new more accurate sized/cut dark grey (not blue gray, make it like Medicom's) tunic.

I don't want to have to go and buy another Jedi Luke or Bespin Han. I'd rather buy a newly done figure. Especially since they both could be done better.

I think that's enough.

 

[galactiboy]

So does anyone know if the commando figure (hoodie) will be available from retailers, or is Sideshow the only one distributing all 3 of the figures?

...Mostly if it's a brand new product that JUST came into stock...

Yeah I know, I thought I was going to be smart by cancelling my Jaws maquette and then using a $75 gift card to re-order it. Then I realised there was a qualifying list of products you could use it on.

No problem. I'm a parent and that's what I do. I let my wife be the "bad guy".

PS. Before any of you degenerates ask, no my wife isn't a guy.

yep.....everyone loves a yummy mummy

I wasn't too sure about being a parent before I had kids, but I have to say that so far it has been one of the most rewarding things in my entire life. My son loves Star Wars and looks forward to opening up my packages with me and seeing the new statues and figures when they arrive, so he is my official "collectible buddy." (He also knows that he's gonna get it all one of these days...)

And he says that he wants the rebels.

Great reason to get them! Thats one way to determine what you get.

When is the FAQ on the rebels going to go up Dusty?

I was wondering about the FAQ, it was suppose to go up today and since its now closing time for the people out on the west coast it should definitely be up by now.

Inspired by Buttmunch's sig and, to commemorate the launch of the "Militaries of Star Wars" line:

Show your support for your favorite Endor Rebel! (Or don't.)

 

[Dusty]

Wow, tough crowd

1) I believe my exact words were: "I think we are planning to gather all the questions and release some further information about the Endor bundle sometime tomorrow on the Star Wars news page - I'll let you know when/if that happens." (Please note the use of think and that I would post here if/when it goes up.)

2) Still planning on posting it, so don't panic that it didn't got up today - it will be available at some point before the pre-order.

(if some of you are freaking out about the Thursday night bundle op because you won't be around a computer that evening, I believe that I can put those fears to rest right now... unless you want to be one of the very FIRST people to order it, you can safely wait until Friday to pre-order, as, according to my sources, the bundle will be available for a TBD time period, rather than a specific number of bundles to be sold - edition sizes will be determined for the individual figures based on bundle sales, prior to the PPO's - very similar to how it was done for Comic-Con Attendee pre-orders for those items that were opened up to the web audience with a PPO after the Con was over - does that make sense?)

Thnx Dusty!!
