Having some doubt about Jabba.

[Buttmunch]

Yes, Jabba was the correct choice. I saw him at SDCC and the Hot Toys predators, aliens, and Rambo at the Sideshow booth. I spent 50% of my time at the Sideshow booth looking at Jabba. I only glanced at the Hot Toys stuff. I love Alien and Predator though. Jabba IS the crown jewel of the collection so far. You won't regret getting him.

I regret canceling Jabba less and less. He will be a great piece, but the jewel of the star wars line?

no no. I can't believe that. Sideshow has alot of plans and I hardly think Jabba will be the crowning Jewel of those plans. He is merely the flagship announcing what we can expect.

Cancel Jabba.

 

[The Josh]

I believe the moment has passed!

Its gonna be Jabba.

Thanks for talking me through this guys. I think if I had gotten up tomorrow morning and realized i had canceled Jabba I would have flipped.

Glad I know I can turn to you freaks to keep me from making a crazy decision.

That's what freaks are for.

When I saw the Jabba display set up at SDCC, I told Diane to give me one of everything and didn't even bother asking about the price. (Then I added the Yoda bust even though I couldn't afford it.) I most certainly will not cancel this order after six months of waiting. Almost here!

 

[El Roranous]

Jabba is the only choice. Do you want some puny little figures or one massive, oh my god I can't believe how f*ckin big this **** is piece to rule them all? Easy choice...get the pimp cup and slug.

I know you need to feel better about canceling him, so you just keep telling yourself that!

Cancel Jabba.

I agree. I guess Jabba just really doesn't do anything for me as a character, let alone having him take up all the space in my display.

The way I see it, you'll always be able to find Jabba down the road from people selling or on Ebay. But with Hot Toys chances are pretty slim.

DITTO ON THAT.I WOULD CANCELLED JABBA TOO, CHASE.HOT TOYS FIGURES ARE ALWAYS SKYROCKETING...JABBA....I DONT SEE HIM GETTING MUCH VALUE...THEY'VE DONE TOO MUCH ..NOT EVERYONE WILL PAY THAT KINDA OF $$$ FOR A 12''.THE REGULAR VERSION WILL BE PRETTY AFFORDABLE ON EBAY IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS,PROBABLY BELOW RETAIL.THRUST ME.+ YOUR GETTING ONE HELL OF A HOT TOY COLLECTION RIGHT NOW..WHY DONT YOU PURSUE YOUR COLLECTING INTERESTS IN THAT DIRECTION....

I'VE CANCELLED JABBA,DONT REGRET IT AT ALL.
ALSO, THAT BIG WORM WONT HAVE MUCH IMPACT IN A COLLECTION OF SOMEONE'S WHO OWNS A 1/1 DARKNESS BUST , A 1/1 PREDATOR BUST AND 3 MODERN HORROR PF.

JUST MY 2 CENTS.

 

[LOTRFan]

I don't collect either, but at some point we all have had to make similar decisions. For me it not only comes down to what I like most (which really is often too hard to answer) but what is irreplaceable. My guess would be that the HT figures will become more scarce.

 

[abstractharmony]

If it's any help - I decided in the end to cancel the entire Jabba set up (I know, I know - Judas, traitor etc...) and I'm just going to pick it all up as and when further down the line either from here or elsewhere.

I couldn't justify that whole wedge of cash in one fell swoop - spread over the next 8-12 months not a problem but no way could I spend it all in 2 months period.

 

[EVILFACE]

Or you could just figure out which would be hardest to get down the road, then get what you can for now?

That's the key. Rambo 1 is plentyful on ebay right now, but so was Rambo2 and he's harder to come by now and has gone up in price. I think most of the HT Movie figures will be the same way.

Jabba, I think you will be able to pic up for the same price for quite a while because there are still lots of people out there that don't think he is worth the retail price.

 

[EVILFACE]

I dont want to turn this into a Rambo vs SW conversation


We all know Rambo could beat the Empire with his mad war skills!!

Rambo with the force and a light saber survival knife would rule the galaxy.

 

[Seaward]

I started to collect some stuff outside of my usual lines (Buffy, SW, Horror, LOTR) last year when all the cool Hot Toys and Medicom stuff started to come out. I am trying to limit my collection though, so I cancelled pre-orders and sold what had shipped, and have reigned things in a bit. I am trying to keep up with the lines that I want the most, and I'd rather have a more complete, smaller collection as opposed to a more diverse collection with holes in it. I have a buddy who has almost every Star Wars, Sci-Fi and Comic toy made (I am not kidding about this, tens of thousands of figures) and his collection is impressive, but sometimes it gets hard to see beyond the sheer quantity and appreciate each thing for what it is. I am going to go the other direction, have a smaller collection, but it will be a way to showcase each item a little more. Money's tight though, so I had to be picky, and I went the Jabba direction. Just my .02

 

[WetaWork]

I had to make a similar decision and decided to cancel Jabba and the Throne. Worse comes to worse, and as popular as Jabba is, at a 4,000+ ES, I will most likely be able to pick it up for less than retail on the secondary market. If that turns out to be not true, so be it, I'll pay a bit more later after my tax return.

i was thinking that same way, but i'm afraid to cancel Jabba and throne, since i want the cup for Jaba and the throne is sold thru SS only. i have no doubt u'll be able to get the reg Jabbba for below retail on ebay. i doubt u will the throne tho.

Now I wanna cancel Jabba and order HTs again

Damn you Shai!! You have made such a great argument!

 

[dekadentdave]

Hey Chase, I just ordered another Rambo 2 from Hobby Bunker for $75. He usually goes for DOUBLE that on ebay. Get him while you can.

In the Star Wars universe, Rambo goes by the name Quinlan Vos.

Looks like you may have gotten the last one.
