The "Free Domestic Shipping!" is for Amber from Suckerpunch, right above Robocop w/ chair. It was last night, too. One's right above the other. You look at them line after line like that, it's pretty easy to mix it up.

Ah, you are correct. I was fooled because the Amber is in a gray block, Robo w/chair is in the white block below, and Amber's free shipping message is in the white block WITH Robo.

Because the new versions are both SO MUCH better than the 2006 versions, the originals' collector $ value might not be much over time. One should be 'attached' to the movie and its creative technicians, not so much to a toy representative. That said, a more accurate toy better honors the original movie artists (namely Craig Hayes and Phil Tippett) and better commemorates the film over the long term, in my opinion. I have a HUGE collection, and I have replaced many items with better versions with no regrets. If the toy is faithful to the original source, then I can get very attached also- but the attachment is based upon my acknowledging and honoring the sculptors and modelers who created the original images. At that point it ceases to be a toy, and becomes an icon.
Sell the old, buy the new!

I still have old ED but I'm not sure it'd be worth my while trying to sell it now. His value has no doubt plunged but the damn shipping costs won't.
I have no idea what you paid or what it goes for now but you still have to come out ahead by selling though right? Even if you only make 50 bucks that's still 50 bucks off the new ED.
I can't remember what I paid for it and it would take some amount of digging to find out. It was my first ever Hot Toys item - I started big.
I'm also weighing it against the option of keeping it as a non-BD ED-209 whenever I decide to display the new with the battle-damaged arm.

Crawford has the original price between $195-$250

I considered sideshow but with the exchange rate and import tax it actually works out more expensive then some UK suppliers . I went with CollectiblesDirect £280 delivered with the option of paying over 12 months

I got my orders confused (there's been a few lately lol) I have ordered Ed 209 from collectibles direct too. Like you say it is cheaper

That's a good price from OSB as well!

I am getting this from SSC. I know I could have found it for cheaper elsewhere, but I had my reasons, so I am happy. This looks like a real bruiser of a showpiece though, my word, he is going to look great next to ROBO when he arrives!
Not too sure what I shall do with RC's chair though, keep it in the box probably, but at least I will have it as an option to use if I want to switch something out.

I figure I'll wait on ordering this until one of Sideshow's sporadic coupon codes is offered. Nothing so far for Father's Day?

That's what I'm going to do. Knock it down a bit with some rewards points and/or codes. Same for Robocop too.
I do want confirmation on whether or not the dome is rubber though and that might not happen until it's finally released.

Why don't you try e-mailing Hot Toys and asking? You'll either get an answer or you won't and know just as little as you do now.
Just out of curiosity how are you guys justifying blindly committing to $410 when dome deterioration was such a possibility on the first release? Are you all just assuming that HT is using a new rubber that won't do that? I'd love to have ED on my shelf but am really apprehensive about rolling the dice for that amount of money.
Wow.
That's ridiculous.
Just remembered another of ED-209's lines that doesn't appear to be included going by the specs - "You are illegally parked on private property. You have 20 seconds to move your vehicle"
