Hot Toys Grand Moff Tarkin

[generalgrevious]

that`s alright it will have lots of stuff in to talk about after it`s been released

Tarkin looks amazing! Still patiently waiting to preorder.

Guessing Q2 release so they can preview ROTJ or ESB Vader for next year's SDCC.


Never would have thought HT would do the triple-dip on Vader.

In a year...

Right on time to compete with Tarkin "in hand" pics then

Tarkin isn't thin enough.....Old Man Luke is too thin......hey HT maybe you should weight the actor to get the weights correct

Is this up on any US site yet for preorder?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Well that was fast!

 

[Deathstalker]

Only until Anakin goes up for PO.

It's obvious Anakin has been CANX in favor of this. Howard has the promo for himself, who else would want the whiny crybaby. " it's not fair" to quote Anakin himself but it is what it is.

What are the prices. Not up on Sideshow.

 

[D.R.37]

Can't wait to see the eBay debauchery of this set

 

[Wor-Gar]

So does that translate to $214.99 or $219.99 from SS for Tarkin?

 

[Tee-Kay]

More like $229.99 and $449.99 thru Sideshow i guess.

HT will end up short producing it if recent patterns hold. Get your eBay snipper finger ready. Cannot imagine the deluxe set having that many either. It's the 3rd Vader release for them. Me thinks this will not last too long.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Tarkin + Vader = 500 units

Tarkin = 1,000 units


???????

Still 1,500 Tarkins. And its likely HT made even more (since my numbers are lowball). I think Tarkin might be discounted after 6 months on ebay. Hell, I got a Yoda for $153.

But I ain't waiting. I'm overpaying for sure on this. Too happy about it.

 

[VergenceITF]

$211/$422 from Hong Kong.

Is that KG Hobby?

They seem competitive price wise.

Whereas Sideshow.......

What is the average shipping cost/delivery time from KG Hobby? Cheaper than Sideshow?

Costs are usually higher when I get estimates. But some folks from other places say it is cheaper for them.

Tarkin works out at $30.70, which is about $5 cheaper than Sideshow's usual rate.

I've never paid that much to have a 1/6 figure shipped to me from SSC.

Tarkin + Vader = 500 units

Tarkin = 1,000 units

That would be ridiculously low for an HT edition size. Even limited edition releases usually have several thousand made.
Where do those numbers come from?

 

[Tee-Kay]

One important question remains, Does ordering from KG usually generate custom fees?

 

[LewisD]

KGHobby wants $58 to ship the Vader/Tarkin to Maryland. I’ll wait for Sideshow.
