1/6 Hot Toys MMS291 Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope 1/6th scale Spacetrooper

[Wor-Gar]

Its been speculated that they will release a sandtrooper 2 pack since one of the photos shows two sandtroopers...

Spacetroopers were also shown as a pair.

Exactly can't wait for my Spacetrooper with removable backpack. Looks so awesome !! Now, need to find those Sandtrooper pics.

Here is the link to the Sandtrooper thread with the pictures.

Awesome ! Thanks. I need to have a look at the movie again to see how realistic the weathering is on these babies. Looks like they've put them through some real torture !

 

[Hoody999]

Shiny Spacetrooper still looks awesome though.

I was wondering on how good the response is from Hot Toys on inquiries from customers? I asked SS on the shipping restrictions on this item for my country, and was told to ask HT. So I asked and no response. Should not be necessary to send several times to get an answer. One question one response.

 

[Invictus Sol]

You will likely never hear back from HT. Customer service is not their strong suit.

 

[Slacker292]

yeah that`s what i thought.

 

[Patriot666]

I gues it's one or the other...consistent high quality or good cs, can't have both apparently.

I pre-ordered the sucker from Sideshow, and this way I'll have to pay all kinds of "cool" taxes. I still hope international distribution to be available for this figure

 

[Tee-Kay]

right now, i just found one place having him on PO but retail is ridiculous (€340). Better off with SSC PO right now.

Which shop has this crazy price?

Which shop has this crazy price?

I believe is Hot Toys Exclusive Star Wars Episode IV Un Nouvel Espoir Spacetrooper 1/6 Collectible Figurine 12

To be honest member price is 305 which is 20-30€ crazier of what I'm gonna pay with shipping, VAT and customs. On the good point you can buy two, on the bad point there's a NRD.

 

[jkno]

Freaking insane.

When a US customer will complain from now on about $1 increase in shipping, I'll send my AT-AT and destroy his ***

 

[Tee-Kay]

That's the one. This shop used to have very competitive prices but not anymore. Exclusives like the Spacetrooper are also on a high mark up trend for a couple years now.

 

[marker2037]

Decided that this will work nicely as my 3rd Stormtrooper along with the 2-pack so I just pre-ordered.

 

[jkno]

There are advantages being in Europe, but not for ordering directly from SSC. I still hope EU shops will bring it at a reasonable price, and thus to cancel the direct SSC order, and go locally.


I also hope HT will consider making the lower jets removable, to be like on Marmit if fans need more accuracy:

I wonder who came up with the idea for a rocket pack instead of apparel for breathing in the vacuum of space. Hot Toys themselves or a retcon by Lucasfilm.

 

[Hoody999]

I'm in Europe (Germany) and couldn't find any competitive prices even for R2D2. Could you name some shops/sites which I could check out.
