Hot Toys - DX16 / DX17 - The Phantom Menace - Darth Maul and Sith Speeder

[DarthAlias]

Not sure why one wouldn’t just get exclusive? Guess to save on shipping. Same price on both.

I wonder if any retailers will get these on this first (usually small) batch?

I ordered mine at Timewalker pretty early, so hopefully I get notice.

You can only get that at Sideshow. California sales tax and shipping doesn't add up to that little hologram.

The regular or the special edition non speeder?

Special edition non speeder. Will arrive Tuesday. Had to delay Monday arrival due to not being home to sign,

That’s how I figured into ordering from BBTS but then the state tax laws applied a couple months ago so still paying tax but I’ll save $20-$25 on shipping

Just cracked and ordered this one. Just looks fantastic, and it’ll be my first prequel figure. The question now is how deep do I go into the prequels. I have Cody on PO but nothing else yet......

Asked KG about this today and I got their usual response they use for all Hot Toys. Not too pleased with that...

Not sure what's going on with KG as they have made some of the most recent Hot Toys figures only available to order through their Facebook page, but not on their website.

Yea, I wonder if its due to the distribution shift where it seems SSC is getting priority over other Asian vendors. I'm also waiting for my John Wick from Loonten Toys on eBay. They are pretty big as well and SSC beat them to it for shipping. I went with SSC with my recent orders.

I find the way Sideshow handles some of their business very irritating, chiefly the way they egregiously overcharge for shipping. But they get everything first, sometimes months before the other retailers get their stock. So I have given in. Usually I just grit my teeth and order from them especially if it is a figure I am really looking forward to.

Their shipping charge is same as BBTS for me (Both are expensive, but equal). I don't know how much they charge across US.

I was lucky that I had preordered it from Timewalker at the time. I couldn't think about spending over $400 on one figure, and their small discount made it $395 or something. They don't charge tax in CA yet.

I've shipped 3 HT from BBTS for $4 before. Maybe you want your's fast, but I'll save the money.

I'm out of US. So, flat shipping of 4 USD is not an option for me. Both SSC and BBTS charge 40 USD for shipping. Shipping charge is not a deciding factor for me between BBTS and SSC.
However, if I were in US, I would go with BBTS flat shipping rate.

Yeah i POed w/NRD when he first went up (Dec.?) before anyone knew they’d flip the laws on California collectors this year... oh well. All states by the end of the year I think.
I’m curious to see if there are any differences between 1st and 2nd batches.

lol..I only purchased from SS because I had 120 bucks in reward points. Needless to say, that's my last purchase from them. SS- old shipping scammers and beaten box people. alter ego for the WIN.

Eyes sell it people. Pose them looking up and it’s a great sculpt.
