Here we go again, compliments of SST and their single box shipping:

I know they charge $10 for double shipping, but they need to start adding that into the already high cost and just do this right the first time. Is there an option to select the $10 at the time of ordering? I do not see it. Sent them a rather scathing (but professional ie not freaking out) message, telling Mr Daniel that his usual response (to me know) of 'normal wear and tear' aint gonna work.

If that upside down sticker doesn't speak to their current QA level, nothing does. Nice touch there, Sideshowtoy!

That SUCKS! Hate when that happens. And yeah, for the expensive shipping Sideshow charges as is, your box shouldn't come dinged in any way.


SIDE NOTE: I wish I got the Hot Toys exclusive label rather than the Sideshow one... at least mine's right-side-up.

Thanks.......so much more understanding than that other board member, guy! LOL JK - still love ya, Lejuan!!!!!

And at this point, I will pay the $10. is there an option at checkout? I just sent Sideshow about 4 inquiries (hey, I am passionate!) about this issue, the lack of a check out option, the lack of a person picking up DURING normal hours, etc.

Hell, with the price of figures, what's another $10!? Thank God I have a money tree (wait, honey, no! Please don't take the kids and go to your sisters. They are just toys!!!!!!! Sure, its an extra car payment three times a month, but still. Honey!!!!????)

Well, guess I am single. Again.

So how's you figure anyway? Like it?

I haven't even opened it. Too busy with these crazy rants of mine. LOL

 

[Wor-Gar]

Well check it out. Maybe its broke. Why waste 4 emails to SS about the box when what you end up needing is a new figure?

Good call......have my therapist on standby if that is the case....

Update: fig itself is great and does look very cool. Wish he was dirtier, though.....backpack well done.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but did anyone else notice that they just reused the same base/stand that they used for the Sandtrooper, but just stuck a FO Stormtrooper name plate on instead?

I bought a regular stand from Toy anxiety so he matches the other troopers. I like the sand base but it's too out of place next to everything else. This is definitely my favorite of the FO troops! Happy I went for him over the heavy gunner.

I want to do the same thing. Unfortunately it looks like Toy Anxiety is sold out of regular FO stormtrooper stands. Anybody know another place I can pick one up for a similar price?

I picked up a regular FO Trooper stand for mine on e-bay for around $20. I've had the stand for a few weeks, now I just need to make my last flex pay on the Jakku Trooper so I can use it.

 

[Matt S]

Anyone have extra of these super annoying, non matching 'jakku' stands and wanna sell, PM appreciated

 

[Vader AL]

I love the sand stand...will go great with Rey and the trooper and officer two pack to go with kylo. Your jedi mind tricks of reverse psychology won't work Matt. muh ha ha

 

[FlyAndFight]

I prefer the sand base as well. Those black grate stands are getting quite boring...

I wish Tatooine Luke and Ben had brought the sand bases instead.

 

[Matt S]

Same. Luke should have had it for sure...that was an easy one too

 

[Vader AL]

When my Luke arrives I may try him on the old SS maul sand stand.

I do love the HT OT grate stands though....and their different colors. But I'm new to HT so maybe it's just a phase.

 

[BatBrain]

Really happy with this guy. Love the exact recycling of the sandtrooper base including the little droid hole.

 

[SilverStar17]

Great picture!

And regarding the stand, I'm fine with the sand stand. Granted the standard FO stand has better conformity, but the sand stand is a nice touch.
