I am not "head over heels" with this figure, as I know I should be. This is all weird because I am a huge SW fan and like many of you SW is what got me into collecting!!! My first SW movie in the theatres was ESB!!!

Emotionally, I know I was more excited about the DX releases of Indiana Jones and Jack Sparrow. Maybe even Jack Nicholson (and I am not a comic movie guy).

Maybe I am done with the Bespin look (even when it is at this high end scale) or I don’t find the “character design” as exciting as Jack Sparrow or Jack’s Joker!!
Currently I look at the price and consider the amount of money when with IJ, Sparrow and Nicholson I was “here take my money and go”!!!

On a side note....I am 100% excited about is Returns Penguin....loved this character design since day one and I have never seen it in action figure form!!!!

If its not for you then it's not for you. No harm no foul.. I can relate with regards to Jacks Joker. Just the opposite with ur feeling towards Luke. I was stoked about that figure coming out but have yet to pick him up. Only difference is I do think that that joker is awesome looking though.

Probably passed on him to make room in my wallet for this release.. Again to each their own.

Yes. I miscalculated.

There is a Fedex fee for handling the customs payment up front isn't there?

Yeah, but I'm not sure how much Fedex charge?

 

[Asta]

Yeah, but I'm not sure how much Fedex charge?

I estimated $18 when I was working out the total for DX11, though I can't remember where that figure came from.

It seems that ordering from Sideshow will guarantee paying customs, as Fedex manage that as part of their deal.

The only unknown is the exchange rate on the days Sideshow take the money. So far, with Bossk and DX11, I've been gaining as the exchange rate has improved for us.

Am I the only one disturbed by the 1980's workout leggings?

Can't unsee...thanks a lot!

When I used to order from Hot Toys direct, they used to mark my packages as 'Gift' for me, so I never paid fees

So after long consideration i decided to wait on paying of my dx terminator and pick this one up after seeing new pics ..I need this one for my dagobah and have yodas hasbro's backpack training version to go with anyway ...Realy glad he turned out so well....should have him next month ...two for one wish they'd include a 2nd body and xtras all the time....

Exactly why I use them.

I feel somewhat similarly about Luke. For me, it is because I always preferred the ROTJ look. However, I still plan on getting this figure in a few months when prices come down as they seem to do with major Hot Toys releases after a few months.

Just called SS and had the remainder of my flexpay charged

WTH? What did you say that got them to do that?? Cause when I and others have called they wouldnt do it...

 

[DVD1]

I think its time to make a few calls around town to see if anyone has this yet.

 

[dsokyra]

WTH? What did you say that got them to do that?? Cause when I and others have called they wouldnt do it...

Yeah they said they wouldn't do it for the DX12 when I called twice yesterday...they said it was because they received a limited first shipment so the first ones go to those who ordered them first and I wouldn't receive mine until December...I called today about Luke and they charged the final payment...I think it has to do with the "backorder" status for DX12...DX7 isn't listed as such...anyway that's what I'm guessing...

You mean just on this? Cause I've done this before.

Nice! I was hoping the second wave wouldn't hit till then. Too much at once always sucks, and SW stuff takes priority for me.

 

[TheFiend]

Yeah its not the full outfit. Looks like the through the shirt over the figure and the leggings. Sculpt is a bit old, but looking at the other options, it may be the best one as of right now.

Im really curious if HT plans to do ANH and Jedi versions down the road.

Id end up getting all three I know it.

God, I hope so. I hope this is a dawning of a long and successful run. Of course, by the time HT gets to any of those the figure will be $350-$400 for a regular DX release.

For this figure it comes to a $60.00 savings... I save 30 by avoiding CA sales tax and it's also 30 cheaper through AE. SS plugs their lame "Free Shipping on HT" stuff, but that doesn't work with exclusives, so there's no savings there.

There's that too! At least I still get Points through AE.

Yeah, I love AE. I go through them all the time.
