That had to be the quickest delivery EVER. Where is SSC again exactly? It took 16 hours to deliver him since he got shipped. XD

Got tired of waiting for Rocket.

WHAAAAAAT and they gave me a $25 gift card as well? This is almost as good as Christmas. I think SS will definitely be my new place to order figures as long as I can pay with Paypal. So I guess as long as I don't do day one orders anymore, I should be fine. I mean, it's not like I have to worry about these figures selling out anymore, do I? As long as they're not exclusives of course. Let's open this guy up.

Finally took the time to do this guy a little justice with the camera. You guys are in for a real treat when he shows up.

Great pictures everyone -I want these guys so bad!!! These and the diecast 3 are my wants for this year. I have a couple more payments on the Mark 3 and then hopefully these guys will still be available somewhere.

alright, out of the box, (pics to come) He already is well worth the 200 bucks I paid for. He feels like a 250 dollar figure, 275 at the most. The sculpting of his entire body is just amazing and ahhh that new toy smell. I missed that so much. I understand that he had to have ratchet joints since he is a bigger figure but I do wish it were regular joints at times to be bale to fine tune a pose for him.

Ratchet joints, didn't know that but hey that's great limited posing but great

The eyes/expression on Groot is really, really awesome. So lifelike.

I hope to add him and Rocket to my collection. Got Gamora and have a Star Lord saved for me.

And a gift card too?!? That's pretty nice. I've never gotten one from them...

There isn't much point in placing early preorders for anything except exclusives. Everything else will eventually go on some sort of discount.

"Item Shipping Soon" on my Groot/Rocket Exclusive 2-pack!

From Sideshow? They sent me an email yesterday stating they expect it in 3-5 weeks.

I get those $25 coupons everytime my order ships to me. They do this for international buyers all the time.

Too bad the dollar is weak right now as even a $25 coupon doesnt make a figure cheaper than buying locally.

Only order I have with SSC is this Groot and Rocket 2 pack and Luke Skywalker. Both as they are exclusives and I used reward points on them.

I've heard of the international $25 coupons (vouchers?), but I don't think it's a regular occurrence for domestic customers to get them.

I've had maybe 8 of these over the years - they can only be used on certain items (the ones they are trying to clear) - basically - useless.
