You’re looking at this from a US perspective. My guess is most sellers commanding that price are from Asia and getting that price from international buyers, and they had the figure available before Sideshow.
For some people that might not be that big a price hike. They might be looking at the retail price from Sideshow, plus international shipping, then having to pay 20% taxes on both, and looking at something closer to $350, so they’re willing to pay the extra surcharge to get it earlier.
Just order from Sideshow and forget about it. They have a rewards program so you have to subtract the $11 you get there to make yourself feel less bad about the high shipping. You don’t want to mess around with his figure. It’s a must have.
Well, looks like I won't be getting my second Luke..

Strange..maybe there was a mix up on the production line and different length bodies were used?I'm a bit puzzled as to why some people think Luke is too tall? He's the same height as my farmboy Luke and he's also dwarfed by my Anakin figure.
I would post pictures, but I've totally forgotten how to do it on here.
Thanks...and no i didn't remove the fat suit...for me the short neck was more of an issue and needed to be lengthenedAwesome shot. I like Luke holding the saber, but I may use the ss dx Vader and recreate this scene. Did you remove the fat suit? Looks great.

Even though i modified the neck on mine so that the head sits a couple of mm higher...the body itself is still way too tall and dwarfs farmboy luke...

..why are all my uploaded pictures so blurry now?? Ehh..
I didn't like the positioning of the gloved hand on the hilt of the light up arm...so i repositioned it further up..
It's easy enough to move as only a spot of glue holds it in place...

My package took a visit to Compton on the 30th.....RIP Luke. Not getting it now. Compton CA is a very infamous violent and crime-ridden city. Just check out the reviews for that UPS there where it talks about the janitors putting packages in trash cans to move them out of the place.Why the funk would that happen?
Thanks, but it's not my phone. The picture quality is great on my phone, and they were being uploaded on the site just fine up until recently when they started looking low-res on the site. Maybe the phone changed a setting to when a picture is uploaded on the site, it loses 98% of its quality.Looks like you are posting from a phone. Not sure which one, but perhaps you can change the setting on the quality of a screen shot taken from the phone ?
Can you go into more detail

My figure is not that tall. I do have one from the Sideshow batch. How do I post a picture to show you?
