I'm actually considering canceling the SS order and reordering thru BBTS in order to spread the payments out on Han, Chewbacca AND Ben.

In my case, being in Cali, there's literally no difference in savings ordering thru BBTS or ordering thru Sideshow with a $20 off coupon. That said, I don't have a coupon on Ben because of the NRD.

Has the new code been issued this month yet? Too early, huh?

I think it's actually cheaper than ordering through Sideshow. The only downside is that I won't get it the day after it ships, and I wind up with more packaging I have to throw in the trash.
 
I got a 7 day notice today along with a 7 day notice for Han and Chewie
 
were the orders on flexpay delayed to January or was it a mixup? i'm not on flex and got my 8 day notice so i was just wondering if it was a mistake on sideshows end.
 
Ben really should have included the tractor beam instead of that stupid Death Star floor grate stand.
 
Mines on flex and last payment shifted to january 5 although on han chewie pack they let me pay early and received on sept 10

Thanks for sharing. I'm pretty sick of having 18 different stand styles in my collection, apparently you're not..... I also prefer to not be shoe horned into one specific scene for display.

Nobody says you are "forced" (pun intended) to display him with it. Just saying it would make a nice mini-dio for those who wanted to display him with it but I'm pretty damn tired of every Hot Toys Star Wars figure coming with the Death Star grate stand.
 
Had a little photo shoot with Ol' Ben and Chewie today. I know there's a few detractors here, but IMO this figure is outstanding. It may not be a perfectly captured Alec Guinness, but it's absolutely 100% Obi Wan Kenobi.

I love what Hot Toys did with the robe and wish they'd use this fabric for all of their capes moving forward. It just drapes amazingly well.

got the processing notice that i will be charged Thursday, so if history repeats itself from my previous 3 orders from sideshow, i will have old Ben on Friday
 
You can return a figure to SSC if you don't like it... correct?

If so, I might just do that. I really want to like this, but if it is a let down in hand.... not sure how I would feel displaying a figure I don't enjoy just to have my display feel complete....
 
Less the NRD and shipping.

Hmm.... I have it on PO from BBTS, so I still have some time to decide on more pics. Actually looking forward to your thoughts on the figure (you have it through SSC right?), so if pics sway me I will order it through SSC. No NRD since it will be in stock and I am okay taking the loss on shipping. If only they nailed the sculpt... I would have no concerns...

Yes, from SS, however there is a very strong chance I will cancel and order from BBTS as well to save the on tax and ship.

If the monthly coupon shows up in the next day or two, I may keep my order with SS as it will be closer to a wash.
