1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 262 - Star Wars Episode IV - 1/6th scale Chewbacca Collectible Figure

But you know, with what Sideshow is charging for shipping these days, no way in hell I'm getting this or Han from them even with their $20 off. They make most of that back on the shipping.

Chewie is a flat $10 shipping, so you'll still save $10 over anyone else with the same price, even if they ship free. Then if you care about reward points, that's just gravy.

bbts and their fedex super saver shipping is incredibly cheap, be nice if Sideshow would start using it... curse you Sideshow... curse you...

Funny I posted the below before you posted but my connection went out before it posted.


I just checked and saw that both Han and Chewie have $10 flat rate shipping. I hope SS honors that.

Still, for me with CA taxes, its cheaper to buy the 2-pack set elsewhere than to buy two single packs from Sideshow. Tax cancels out my coupon essentially.

I have a set preordered there. Be $487 delivered (plus a rifle). If I go separate packs with Sideshow its $502.

Hold on, do you mean you don't self-declare and pay CA tax on your out of state purchases?

It is a "shipping estimate" meaning they can change it anytime they want.

Silly man.

I saw that too. They could do it. I wouldn't put it passed them.


I really would like separate boxes for the two... but if I decide to still get both of Han and Chewie, I think I'm going for the 2-pack -- besides being cheaper it looks like HT has dropped the 2-pack idea so this could be a unique item. Plus the rifle. Just sucks if you have to send one figure back you'll likely have to send both back.

You still talking about Chewie at SSC?

It won't change because it's not an estimate, it's a fixed, flat-rate shipping charge. If you pre-pay the whole thing now, they're not going to come and ask you for more money later.

Who pre-paid? I thought you could only pre-cancel?


Man, not sure what **** Po was thinking with how he combed Chewie's hair.

Yeah.

You can pre-pay in full? Never knew that. I always just waited till they charge my card. Been sitting on the money for months, I would have already had these guys paid for if I knew that.

Think I might just pre-pay it tomorrow. I just call/email SSC and tell em I want to pay for it now?

That I don't know about - I was talking about using PayPal, which requires you pay immediately. But in any case, the $10 price is their very common "Hot Toys $10 Flat Rate Nation-wide shipping" and it's marked and called out on the product page. It may have been "estimated shipping" whenever you placed your order though - pre-orders come up often enough with no shipping estimate at all - can't use PayPal in those cases.

Oh, I just have them charge my card, otherwise I would just pay through paypal. Still might call and ask em, won't hurt anything.

Hopefully the shipping is only $10.

 

[Wor-Gar]

So what was the verdict in here? Are most people keeping their order or cancelling based on early photos?

 

[WWEJedi]

I am keeping my order for sure. Very excited for these guys, I think they look great.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I know you are. I likely will too. I was just curious about others since there's been about 30+ pages since the photos surfaced.

 

[Pixelpiper]

I'm planning to post-order at some point in the future.

 

[user 19388]

I'm keeping it (Tupac), its a unique figure. I dont think it looks bad, its just a matter of perspective.

 

[Pixelpiper]

its just a matter of perspective.

If you look away, he looks glorious - and he can't see you cry.

I need to see this horrible monster in hand. I've seen a few photos where he looked pretty nice. The low-res naked Chewie photo shoot with the soccer team and Rocket and Groot made me feel the most like I was looking at Chewbacca.

Seems to be lots of cancellations planned though.
