1/6 Hot Toys - Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back: Lando Calrissian (Bespin version)

[Wor-Gar]

Curious to see how this one turns out...

 

[Timemeddler]

But he's not even out in HK yet...

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

Am curious if this is because of the ToysWonderland thing?
But far out...Lando and Snowspeeder pilot luke are my most anticipated.

 

[Lordscum]

Also got this email. Nice to see Sideshow getting stuff in early. Wonder if Hot Toys is turning to air travel with the port situation being so bad, or if Sideshow did truly put their foot down about the late time frame in which they have gotten their product. Maybe a combination of both.

Another possibility is HT put these on a boat weeks ago and now that SS knows they will have these in the warehouse in the coming weeks they felt it was safe to send notifications. I also got the same email for the Shore Trooper and the Deluxe Mando Boba Two Pack.

Could also be that they know they're going to get this via air shipment once it's released in HK... No idea though.

Oh man, I'm in for a world of wallet hurt it sounds like.

One thing I do find odd about all this - Rex is released but Sideshow says he’s delayed coming in. Lando is not released but he’ll be in before Thanksgiving. We’ll see how this saga plays out, but I would imagine both Rex and Lando would be figures that sell better in the US, Canada and Europe than their domestic market.

Seeing many getting updated/delayed shipment notifications for Rex and other figures. Makes you wonder if they get an initial shipment then have to delay the rest.

 

[sithocan]

Ahsoka will rule them all.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I have yet to pre-order Lando but having him arriving early may be the kick in the cape that I need, to preorder him.

Knowing the preorder roulette you will probably get him before the rest of us.

 

[SwitchStance]

Exciting!

 

[echo1126]

Got the same message. Mine is processing on 10/11 as well!
Where are the final production photos?

 

[Raven6009]

Loving how fast Sideshow is getting these. Hopefully it puts an end to the 1st batch scalping these HK stores are doing.

 

[Lordscum]

Same here! Daayum! Probably means the Shore Trooper is going to be in November.

 

[Lordscum]

I wonder if they aren't able to do the same with Rex because they have a lot more orders than with Death Watch Mando, Lando and the Shore Trooper?

 

[fantasticfrog]

I ordered day one and no email for me.

 

[Mr.Tanker]

First email: Hey, Lando's going to be a bit early.
Next day email: Actually, next week.

How strange.

 

[DakRen]

Can’t wait to see final/ in hand pics.

 

[Mr.Tanker]

I always get nervous when it hits SS before the asian markets. I like seeing those final production pics, so I know what I'm getting.
