Well another tariff on 300 billion worth of Chinese goods means this will seem like a good deal in a year's time.

I hope quality doesn't start to suffer as a result of HT trying to maintain its profit margins since it can't raise prices on the many POs its already made.

I don’t think any of us need to worry because Maul is our last HT then everyone is pretty much out of the game….Right???

I still need Lando, C-3PO, and a Biker Scout before I can get out. Those waiting for a Poe will never get out.

I'd better order Dooku then.

Just watched the evening news and they specifically stated Trump's Chinese tariff includes toys. This expense will 100% be passed onto customers. I'd expect HT figures to increase at least an extra $20 overnight.

Right, but that will be a SS problem, not Hot Toys. Well, and our problem -- they are saying %25.

Watch them increase shipping to pay the tariff.

Shipping for my last two figures was $2 higher than it used to be, so perhaps they already have.

WTH? Wouldn’t they have tested it before shipping?

I have pretty new Duracell’s but I literally went out to buy energizer ultimates and it works. Good thing as I was about to email SS. All is well in the world.

In my opinion you can always top the copper top. Duricell batteries are the worst I feel. I always use Energizer (no more slogans but i wanna) they never leak and last longer imo.

But Sideshow is already overpriced trash so nothing changes there...

Does anyone have any promo codes I can use to try to get him.

I received this figure last weekend (non-speeder version) and finally had a chance to take it out of the box. I was half expecting to be disappointed with it so I could sell it off (and avoid building out a Star Wars shelf), but it's a pretty great figure, and there are a bunch of posing options between the different sabers, blades, and hand sculpts. The plain head sculpt looks pretty good, though I can see that it doesn't have a perfect likeness to Ray Park. However, from an angle, it's harder to tell; and the movable eyes allow for a lot more realism. The screaming head sculpt actually looks really nice in person despite the promo images, and I appreciate HT going with an overly expressive sculpt. I just don't think I'll ever use it, though I'll certainly try to find a free-standing pose that suits it.

Did anyone else remove the little pleather wraps under the gauntlets? I tried to leave them on, but it was a struggle swapping the hands with them on. They also moved with the hand, which limited articulation (and my wrist poses would snap back). Plus, I can imagine will be a nightmare down the road once they start peeling. As it is, it's a bit unsightly if I don't slide the gauntlets down to the hand to cover the wrist peg, but I feel like it works better without the pleather pieces there at all.

Put it in your cart, start checkout, and leave the page there. Maybe you'll get a 10% off thing to pop up.

Sometimes it works, and sometimes not.

So you made them send you a free one for no reason...
